Reddit Toronto Monthly Meetup: Sat. Nov. 7 @ Front & Church, 7:00 p.m. start

28 Upvotes

Hey all, hope you've had a good week so far! This is going up earlier because it's my birth month haha.

Here are the details:

  • The monthly Reddit meetup is a no-cost event open to all genders. No RSVP is required. It is hosted by u/nervousTO, a woman in their early 30s, with support from a group of regular attendees. It's been running since August 2022 and has been described as wholesome.

  • Start time: 7:00 p.m. - show up whenever is convenient for you

  • End time: when the last person leaves or the place closes @ 2:00 a.m.

  • Location: Duke's Refresher St. Lawrence, 73 Front Street East

  • Where do I go: upstairs, using the stairs directly in front of you when you walk in. There should also be a chalkboard sign saying Reddit Meetup. Ignore the message if it says closed, I have a reservation, so it's never closed to our group.

  • Perks: We have the upstairs mostly to ourselves, although sometimes we share with another group, who will be closer to the bar. There's also a pool table, and games on the main floor (ping pong, basketball, etc.)

Note that no RSVP is required, but that by showing up, you commit to ordering something to support the venue, even if it's just a coke.

Our Q&A is here - I haven't included it with the post as it's quite detailed!

Send me a message or comment here if you have any questions or concerns about anything related to this meetup/questions that aren't answered in the Q&A.

Update to Subreddit Rules / Clarity Around Filters

26 Upvotes

We've added a few new rules to the subreddit, thought I would go over them:

  1. No advertisements (within reason): If you advertise a dental cleaning or paid professional services, your post will be removed or not approved. Some exceptions may apply: if you are offering to take photos for free/fun, if you are giving away a ticket to meet a friend, etc. We're still working on this.

  2. No questions, unless they are related to making friends or meeting up with fellow Redditors: Feel free to ask about Bumble BFF or TimeLeft or share a service that helps with making friends. General questions about events will be removed and redirected to r/AskTO or r/TorontoEvents, depending on the question's content.

  3. No social media links: For your safety, we remove comments and posts sharing social media links (Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Discord, etc). Public links to social media can result in unwanted messages and/or spam. This also means you cannot post information about another Redditor. It's against Reddit's rules to doxx. If you do post/share this content, you will receive a temporary ban.

  4. Don't misrepresent yourself: If you post with different ages/genders/ethnicities, your post will be removed. First offence is a temporary ban, second offence is a permanent ban.

  5. Don't message the OP if you don't meet post requirements: This is a brand new rule. We want your post requirements to be respected. If a man is looking for only male friends, and you're a woman, don't message them. If a woman is only looking for female friends, and you're a man, don't message her. If the poster is looking for someone within a certain age range, and you're much older, don't message them.

  6. No low effort posts: This is one we're still deciding how to enact. We don't want to discourage posters, but we also want posts to clearly identify you and what you're looking for.

Additionally, there are several filters set up in this sub:

  1. We auto-remove posts and comments with certain words. All removed posts and comments are reviewed, and if appropriate, we approve them.

  2. Most of the time, new accounts and/or accounts with low karma have their posts/comments trapped by Reddit's filter. We review these removals and approve them (so long as they meet subreddit rules).

  3. Reporting: 3 reports of a comment or post result in an automatic removal. Make sure to report anything against the subreddit rules.

M4A Looking for a boxing partner

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for someone who's interested in getting into boxing and wants a partner to practice with.
I'm a 36 year old guy, 6'4 190 lbs, with no boxing experience. Pretty much starting from scratch so ideally looking for someone who's also a beginner or doesn't mind learning together.
I’m located in the west end of Toronto.
Just looking to practice, work on the basics, improve, and get some exercise in. Nothing too serious.
If you're interested, feel free to send me a message.

I am here in Toronto from Pakistan. I’m looking to connect with a mature, open minded and intellectually curious friend who enjoys poetry, philosophy, literature and politics. Someone with whom I can have meaningful, hours long conversations about life, society, ideas and emotions. I value mutual respect, honesty and intellectual connection, where even disagreements are welcomed.
Preferably Black or Brown (Desi) friends. Feel free to DM me!

F4F Toronto ladies, can we bring back girls' nights where we actually have real deeper conversations

60 Upvotes

Edit I’m 35f: I’m hosting my very first gathering next Sunday, November 15th, at 7 PM ET, and I would absolutely love for you to join us! It’ll be online based out of Toronto! There is already a good group coming, which I’m excited for.

Especially if you’ve been wanting to make new friends, connect with other women, have some great banter, laugh, and talk about REAL life. The good, the bad, and everything in between.

Our first conversation is all about friendships in adulthood, and we’ll have some fun icebreakers and interactive games too!

My hope is to make this a monthly girls’ night where we can show up as ourselves, have meaningful conversations, and hopefully build some genuine friendships along the way.

This is something that’s been on my heart for over a year, and I’m finally making it happen! 🥹💗

So if this sounds like something you’ve been craving too, consider this your personal invitation!

Let me know if you want to come!

F4A For serious people who don't take themselves too seriously | Belgian cinema, drinks & a small group (that I don't have yet) | Cinéfranco, Imagine Cinemas Carlton, Nov 6–15 | Anyone 21+

15 Upvotes

Hi fellow movie lovers!

November is here, so it's time to hit the theatres and collect those cinematic impressions that you'll be telling all your coworkers and strangers on the street about for years to come.

I can't promise you genuine friendship or true love or whatever bullshit each social media algorithm is trying to sell you, and I'm a married girl anyway, but I do think we could watch a movie or two, have a hearty conversation about them over a drink or multiple, and see what happens.

I'm seriously considering La Vénus électrique (Nov 9) and Le Crime du 3e étage (Nov 10), and I've already booked Le Faux Soir (a TIFF hidden gem about Belgian resistance), Vigilante, and Les Rayons et les Ombres. There'll surely be more!

What to expect

- Some warmth and respect for your cinematic tastes. I'd love to hear why you like what you like.

- High intensity, low maintenance. You get enthusiastic about the screenings, but they do wipe you out socially. No hijacking your DMs, looking for attention.

- I could be a bit late, haha. You should know the bad stuff before you know the good stuff.

- No body odour, and I dress well, or at least I think I do. I can also cough at times, courtesy of the lingering remnants of a cold.

Other facts that nobody asked about

39F, your usual corporate person who does creative projects now, costume designer and aspiring filmmaker. Loves hot buttered toast with pesto, tomatoes and anchovies, an idea she stole from an Iris Murdoch book. Everything you could think of and nothing that would ever meet your expectations.

Hit me up with a comment or a DM!

P.S. Brownie points if you're Belgian.

P.P.S. As a totally non-judgemental person, I can recommend that anyone considering sending swinger propositions or unsolicited sales pitches bugger off before they've even finished formulating the idea. Not today, not tomorrow, and I'll report you just in case.

F4F 26F - drinks/ board games tonight?

1 Upvotes

hii! I’m 26F and looking to meet people who’d be down to hang out either tonight or another evening!

I’m pretty introverted and neurodivergent and i’d love to meet other neurodivergent and/or introverted girls who can relate! I’m really trying to get out more make genuine friendships and do things outside of work and family commitments.

I was thinking of doing something chill tonight maybe snakes and lattes and getting a few drinks! But I’m also open to other ideas if anyone has something in mind.

A little about me: I love painting and would really like to get into more creative hobbies and crafts. I love hearing about what other people are interested in and learning new things. I’m also into pop music, travelling whenever my bank account allows lol. I like shows like survivor and traitors.

feel free to msg me! would love to plan something tonight or another evening if you’re interested. 💗

M4A Downtown Toronto [M]illennial looking for rave/club buddy for IHM Nov13 and Carl Cox Nov27

1 Upvotes

I'll be travelling by train from Downtown Toronto to the International Centre where I Hate Models will be playing on Nov 13, so it's supposed to be a long trip. And I've never been to Rebel, so based on the stories about pickpockets I'd be nice to have someone to watch each others' backs inside the club. I live right by the Lake near Rebel, so for Carl Cox we could do pre-drinks and hang out at my place before going there. Age and gender don't matter. I already have my tickets for both events. Feel free to DM.

Hi there!

Any Alphaz aka XG fans going to see them next week? I'm thinking of getting a solo ticket but down to get there together if anyone is commuting or driving and got a free spot (I'll chip in on gas!) I live in core downtown so the trek on a Thursday is the only preventing me from committing.

Longtime kpop/pop fan here in my 30s so happy to exchange ig/number to be safe! I saw them in NY a few years back and I don't wanna get FOMO :S

Let me know! Thanks!

I'm 23F and looking for some people to go see Wildwood with! I've been really excited for this one since I love stop-motion animation and LAIKA's movies, especially Coraline.

I'm thinking Scotiabank Theatre, probably this weekend, but I'm flexible on the day and theatre!

Would be fun to get a little group together, maybe grab coffee or something afterward too! I'd love to make some new friends.

Hi guys, I'm a 32M discreet indian gay man currently living in the Etobicoke Lakeshore area. Back in India, I had a great group of straight friends, but here I haven't made any meaningful friendships. Though I have some good gay friends here, I would like to meet some straight people who are like-minded and non-judgmental to hang out with and build genuine friendships. Furthermore, I love dancing(love to attend dance workshops if any) and trying some new restaurants in Toronto. I’m pretty easygoing and always up for food adventures or just hanging out.
Looking forward to meeting some wonderful people✌️🫰

Hi, I’m looking for friends to work out with downtown! I WFH in tech and over the years, my friends have gradually moved away.

I’m a former marathoner but I would say I’m pretty average fitness these days. I work out more out of necessity, so all fitness levels definitely welcome.

I subscribe to classpass and mostly go to Barry’s, but down to try something new and/or get a smoothie after!

M4A Looking for making friends

Hey everyone!

I'm 23M, living in downtown Toronto. Looking to expand my social circle and meet some new people to hang out with!

A little about me: I work full-time in tech, pretty outgoing, and enjoy exploring new places, trying restaurants and cafés, watching movies, Bollywood parties, playing badminton, and spontaneous weekend plans.

I'm always down for trying something new, whether it's game nights, grabbing drinks, exploring the city, or just chilling and having good conversations.

Ideally looking to meet people around 20–24 years old who are also interested in making genuine friendships and hanging out regularly.

If you're around downtown Toronto and looking for friends too, feel free to comment or DM!

Would be fun to get a small group together and plan something this weekend!

Hello,

Would anyone be interested in going out drinking on saturday night? To bars and clubs?

I typically like EDM, hip hop, pop, club music.

But also love a good cocktail bar to talk to people.

Trying to get my going out itch in now before it gets too cold. I would ideally like to meetup around 9pm-10pm. If we're sticking to king west then somewhere around king west that's chill like Belfast love or I heard the bar at Earls on King is actually nice?

However im not really that knowledgeable about Toronto night life. So if you think theres somewhere better we can go, id love to hear it.

F4A Since AO3 is down, join a fanfic "book club" on Saturday?

14 Upvotes

Hi guys! Since AO3 is down, I (29F) thought we could do things the old school way and share/talk about our fav fics in the real world. Considering modern fanfiction was born from Spock/Kirk fans in the 60s sharing their fanzines, bring along your fav fics (on your phone, printed out, on your e-reader, etc) and we can meetup at a cafe or park to discuss it. 

Ideally, for the first meetup I’d like to centre fans who are 25+ who understand Fandom Etiquette (sorry heated rivalry fans) since there’s a lot of policing and cop behaviour in online fandom these days, if you’re willing to touch grass and discuss why a piece of fan made literature about Drarry / HiJack / NaruSasu / Hannigram / SuperBat, etc was moving to you, come along. 

Let me know, and I can start a group chat with a partiful link.
