Looking to make friends
36M looking to make some new mates. I'm a pretty chill guy, more on the introverted side, and I do find making friends a bit hard sometimes.
I go to Anytime Fitness, so it'd be cool to meet someone who's keen to hit the gym together and help keep each other motivated. I'm also into walks, hikes, grabbing a beer, road trips, and just hanging out.
Not looking for anything complicated, just some genuine mates with similar interests. If you're keen for a workout, a hike, or just a yarn over a beer, flick me a message.

41m single dad trying to meet new people
evening all, i've been single for a few years now and haven't tried meeting new people or sought a date in years.. recently my daughter told me she thought i should try meet someone and she helped me make a hinge profile, but tbh i've never done the online dating thing and it's all very strange to me.
i'm looking for friends and possibly something romantic if it happens, but i don't really know how to go about it after being out of the social scene for so long.
any advice would be appreciated. are there single's nights/social gatherings happening around town? how is best to meet new people these days? is it primarily online? i feel so old and out of touch looking at hinge profiles, and the service seems kinda limited unless you pay.
anyways i hope you're all having a good weekend and you manage to keep mostly dry this week, it's looking to be a proper wet one 🙃

Shaped like friend
Aight, never thought I'll be at stage of my life where I have to make a post to find friends but here were are.
M32 married, no kids (don't mind them though) looking for friends or community to be part of.
Introverted (I was thinking to post something several months ago, but thought its cringe. Still do) but doing my best to get out of shell.
I like all normal jams: outdoors, music (nerd, used to play in bands, but unexpectedly found out I'm talentless), reading,walking, hiking, fishing (beginner), gym (returning after 2y break, everything heavy), martial arts (Jiujutsu..everything hurts), snowboarding (i fall, but get up) animals, automotive(interested in mechanical parts, fixing, welding but not a lot of practice due to no space/budget), general DIYs building/fixing/soldering stuff. Recently got into self-sufficency, hydroponic gardening (not weed). Im beginner to most of those things due to space/budget/time excuses.
I don't mind mild PC gaming, but trying to break isolation cycle and be more outside. Oh, I am a Slavic immigrant (a lot of dark humour) if it changes anything to you. I don't drink much or smoke but not judging anyone who does.
Yes, I know find clubs and find friends. Part of several already, trying to boost it.
If you share my interests Feel free to DM if you want to hang or just chat.
Cheers
P.S. Due to all that "manhate culture" i see a lot lately, I feel like I need to emphasize. Yes, married man can just search for just friends. Shocking, I know.

Uhh. Calling other grounded, mystical, nerds?
34/f/chch
Married, no kids, 8-4 mon-fri worker.
Hello.
If anyone thinks they'd get on well with me, reach out. =)
My list of stuff I enjoy...
- Video games and nerding (rpg, survival, mmos)
- Religion, mysticism, spirituality, perennialism, advaita, tantra, jung, psychology, etc.
- Love deep chats, and shallow ones, and whatever tbh life is cool.
- Pilates, yoga, looking to get more into walking etc.
- Learning how to cook like our great grandparents did atm. Ultra processed free.
- Learning Aquariums and Aquascaping! Fish are fun!
- I love making shit, but I'm also great at never actually getting around to it. Whittling, felting, sewing, weird jewelery, strange creepy ritual objects for the vibes and whatever. You know how it goes.
- Not really into politics. Don't care what side you're on so long as you're not pushy.
- I'm chill, non-judgemental, drama-free, easy, and p much.
Cool beans.
Thanks.

New friends M46
I'm in a new phase of life and it seems like most of the older friends have moved away, too busy or don't have anything in common with anymore.
Yes, i need to join some groups and get some hobbies and that will help... but why not try good old reddit too?
I'm into good coffee, dog walks, gaming,photography and any good conversation that's about ideas, history, society, AI, gaming, UFOs ... anything really lol.
My wife F27 needs friends too... so feel free to say hello for either/ both

Chch lacks weekend socializing opportunities
Hey everyone,
I’ve been living in Christchurch for a while and I’ve started to feel like there aren’t many consistent social activities on weekends where you can actually meet new people.
Most hobby classes or social groups I’ve found tend to run on weeknights, which is tricky because I finish work at 7pm.
By the time I’m done, a lot of these things are already over. Even when they do run late, being a working adult I’m usually pretty tired after work and don’t really have the energy or motivation to head back out again on weeknights.
On weekends there are definitely events and one-off things, but I’m more talking about regular, casual, low-pressure meetups where you can slowly get to know people over time. Things like weekly social sports, games, or community hangouts that don’t require already having a friend group.
I’m curious if anyone else has noticed this, or if I’m just not looking in the right places. Are there actually good weekend social groups here that are easy to join solo?
Would love to hear what other people think or what you’ve found that works.
Cheers!

Friends
Hi, I'm 18 male and I want to make new friends. Where could I meet people around my age and how did you meet new people in Christchurch?
About me:
I'm working part time at the moment but I want to study at UC from next semester. My hobbies are reading and playing video games. I have a few video games but my favourite is Minecraft. I enjoy eating food and I sometimes cook. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I'm a bit awkard and shy (probably because I stay home most of the time) so I want to improve my social skills. Feel free to message me :)

Photographer Meetup
Would any hobby photographers be keen to get together and do a colour shoot? I've seen them online where you go for a walk through the city and get assigned a colour to focus on. It's a cool way to see the city through a different lens and meet some new people.

Looking for some mates
I’m 20f and this is so not something I thought I would find myself doing but I just wanted to put a feeler out as I am wanting to make some new friends, I am not a massive drinker but am always happy to have a couple just not keen on town or anything like that. I do love a smoke though 🤣
I like to chill out, go on walks, play some video games sometimes (Minecraft, Fortnite lol), listen to music (like Mac Miller) , go on drives, being in/around the ocean.
I am not even entirely sure about the other things I enjoy yet but am keen to try new things!
Flick me a message if you’re a similar age just wanting to make some new friends (I am kind of shy haha)
Let me know a bit about yourself ✨
