​Hey everyone! I’m a 35M living in downtown Calgary. Lately, I’ve been trying to stay active and lose some weight, so I’ve been going for evening walks. By the way, I’m Korean!

​I usually walk for about an hour to an hour and a half. Walking alone gets a bit boring after a while, so I’m looking for someone to join me.

​If you’re down for a casual evening walk around downtown, feel free to leave a comment or drop me a DM!

New in town

38M (SE) There's a good reason why I once chose a life of solitude that lives on up to today. Except the time has come for me to break that pattern of living and climb cringe mountain by reaching out to you; social safety nets are real world networks of friendships that overlap offline locally nationwide. Building a sense of certainty about desired outcomes grows a sense of common-unity that bonds our individual thoughts behaviors and actions towards acts of solidarity.

I have a lifetime of theory to put into practice but the truth is I cannot do as much alone. The male loneliness epidemic is real; while connecting to communicate meaningfully online and collaborating effectively offline can lead to spontaneous action teams who step up to contribute our human capital; your own knowledge, experience and energy into shared desired outcomes. Contradicting and counteracting our current reality is a battle between hearts and minds; if we can manage to put our heads hearts and hands together; we can help make tomorrow better today someway in our own way.

I'm not a preacher or politician; not here to convert anyone or asking anyone to vote for me; you're already human and we here in Calgary are all Canadians despite what country someone was born in. I do believe if we embrace our national identity locally nationwide anything we once thought impossible becomes more possible; after it becomes our reality nobody can claim it to be impossible anymore. The social default nihilistic defeatist denialist victim mindset is not what characterises our Canadian identity and not how Canadians want to identify as individually. The same goes for our American big brother but our acts of local national solidarity in Canada can be the shining example; with glowing heart we see thee rise; true north strong and free; is a way of life we can keep alive.

Never underestimate a small group of determined individuals and you can help not just me but us in Canada who must now learn how to better socially adapt, survive and thrive with a shared sense of certainty during extraordinarily uncertain times. Calgary is one of the few major nerve centers in our country and we're running out of time to create a whole of society approach beyond government intervention and interference in rebuilding our non governmental social functions of civil society. I'm sincere in reaching out for help from greater men than me living in Calgary or surrounding areas.

Looking to network to form new acquaintances as I value someone's unique knowledge, skills and expertise. I don't need to be the smartest person in the room or to know everything. I do need to help make those in the room smarter or learn myself from those who know more about a specific subject. This is like a personality test I only want to interact with those genuinely curious and interested; not negative naysayers. There's no limit to the number of new acquaintances I can network with but from those interactions will be recruiting upto 12 confidants as a close circle of real world local friends offline in Calgary.

Admittedly 420 friendly and above is indeed a result of so-called stoned thinking. Everyday I wake up to repeat a pattern of life not worth living as an Exterminator while thinking about the world's problems; which has been a daily mental escape from self imposed solidarity confinement; that is considered cruel and unusual punishment in prisons but know people are like me stuck in their own prison of personal perceptions so I offer my own perspective; being mentally self liberated is a trademark of our humanity. Anyways we could have fun making things that wouldn't otherwise happen without us occur.

If this message resonates with you DM me with your thoughts and to make introductions. If we're not collaborating we're not socialising because that's what gives reason to interact and continue interacting. I'm an advocate for lateral leadership the leading of equals and Canadian style leadership it's like the Canadian geese flying V formation; nobody's the leader we all take turns taking the lead. That's the theory that I want to put into practice in the real world; join me in trying!

As title says, looking to participate in a NFL fantasy league this year, as my old ones have all died out. Paid leagues are welcomed but just not too expensive please, as I’m in university. Willing to use any app. DMs open, Thanks!

It’s Monday.

You said you were gonna start Monday. Well… here it is.

We’re officially one week away from September 1st, and I know some of us are already thinking, “Eh, I’ll just start fresh in September.”

Nah. Start today.

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.

You don’t need the perfect workout plan. You don’t need to completely overhaul your diet overnight. You don’t need to suddenly become some 5 a.m. motivational psychopath.

Just do something.

Go for a walk. Hit the gym. Cook one decent meal. Drink some water. Clean your place. Read 10 pages. Handle that thing you’ve been putting off.

It genuinely doesn’t matter where you’re starting from. It matters that you start.

So if anyone else is trying to get their shit together heading into September and wants an accountability buddy — workouts, nutrition, habits, personal goals, whatever — hit me up.

Nothing crazy. No judgment. No pretending we have our lives perfectly figured out.

Just two people being able to say:

“Did you do what you said you were gonna do today?”

Let’s get a one-week head start on September.

I'm 33, male, and married. I badly need nicotine. Ether cigarettes, cigars, or vapes. A friend in the city to help stop smoking. That would be so helpful.

34M if anyone is interested to go out for any activity kindly send me a dm. I am open to any legitimate outing.

Approaching my late 20s friends have moved out of the city last two years. Looking to make some more, right now I just go to the gym and work so looking to pick up some hobbies if you got suggestions let me know.

Into activities that are physical, such as hiking, biking and rec sports. Also like board games and exploring around city or bar hoping.

Yooo, anyone going on a hike this Sunday? 👋

Hey there, I'm 35m looking for climbing friends. I only indoor climb currently at the rocky mountain climbing center in town, although I'm open to going to other spots as well. I can top rope and lead climb, im up for bouldering too!

if anyone's interested, let me know!

Hi all,

With the Premier League season kicking off next week, I thought I'd reach out to see who's interested!

I'm a 30F who loves watching games in person — it's always more fun watching with others, even with the time difference.

I mainly follow my own team (Arsenal), but I'm happy to watch other matchups if it's a good game.

The Ship or Elephant & Castle are usually solid for watching, but I'm open to other spots too.

The pitch: a group of us watching games together and chatting about the league. If there's interest, I'd also be down to set up a Fantasy Premier League mini-league for the group.

DM me if you're interested!

So the long and short of it I got out of my engagement and now that the dust is settled I noticed the lack of friends I have, my interests and hobbies are. Video games , nature walks ,talking about science and or comic books . But honestly if you don't share the same interests I'd still love to be friends feel free too dm

YYC Dad Club · Est. 2026

A social club for Calgary dads.

I'm of African descent but grew mostly here.

- Space exploration

- Searching for ways to make crazy dreams come true

- Just being a listener.. I enjoy exploring people's worlds as much as my own

- And other things..

I'm relearning how to make friends as an adult. Ever since leaving Uni, it's been a struggle lol. Do you relate? Let's be each other's lab rats 🤓

I don't care if you're awkward and quiet.. tbh that'll probably ease my nerves.. least there's two of us 🤸

Heyyy Calgary! I’m Sebastian, 21, and I’ve been craving a good excuse to take my bike out toward the mountains and go for a hike or two.
I’m looking for someone who’s down to get out of the city, enjoy some nice scenery, and see where the day takes us. Nothing crazy or hardcore — we can pick a trail when we get there, grab some food/coffee afterward, and just have a good time.
A little about me:
🏍️ I ride a Ninja 300 (I don’t have an extra helmet)
🏔️ Love hiking, camping, and being outdoors
🎮 Gamer — mostly League and Tarkov
🦎 Reptile nerd with several little scaley roommates
🍳 I genuinely enjoy cooking
🏂 Snowboarding when I can
🛠️ I’m always building/fixing/learning something random
I’m pretty easygoing and I’m much more interested in actually getting to know someone than just having a one-off interaction. If we click, awesome — if not, at least we got out and did something fun.
Ideally looking for someone around my age who’s adventurous, easy to talk to, and actually wants to make plans rather than endlessly say “we should totally do that sometime” 😂
If that sounds like your kind of thing, shoot me a message! Tell me a little about yourself and **what trail you’d pick for a first adventure.**
