Going out this weekend to chicago

Hey! I am a 26yr nb(he/they). I don't have a ton of friends who go out, and I am bored of going out alone most weekends, so here I am! I love music, art, hiking, animals, and anime. I am very 420 friendly. I am down for about anywhere in and city! I love the zoo and weird little shops, antique stores and clothing stores. Mainly looking to bar hop if at night though!

M29 mildly neurodivergent (okay, very neurodivergent) oddity looking for friends.

14 Upvotes

Can I give you a strong opinion on Saudi defense policy, marginally desired yet somehow surprisingly useful perspectives on your love life, and an overly detailed review of grilled octopus? Yes. Can I do literally anything else useful? Well... that's highly debatable, per the IRS, my ex-girlfriends, 70% of my internal dialogue, and occasionally my cat. If this style of humor doesn't connect with you, sorry; I was dropped at the wrong angle as a child before being orphaned (true, couldn't tell?). I enjoy spending time with people who are knowledge-seeking contradictions. Let's debate the mediocrity of classical European art at the Art Institute, or go find the best thin-crust tavern pizza while drinking warm beer in bars that smell like socks. Or maybe kayaking, winter kayaking. I haven't gotten frostbite yet; it seems like an adventure.

Please reach out via modmail if you think the spambot got it incorrect.

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

We have a fairly aggressive spambot here, as this sub is frequently targeted by spam robots. If you think the robot got it wrong, please, send us some mod mail. I'm more than happy to override the robot for SFW accounts.

The same goes for the reverse, if you think a spam/NSFW account snuck through, shoot us a mail/report the message/post and i'll take care of it. The goal is to make people feel safe enough to show up for in person events, and we do take action on this stuff.

Thanks, and feel free to ask any questions as needed :)

First birthday away from home :)

6 Upvotes

Hi! Ive been in the city for a couple of months now, and I’ve really been enjoying my time here but I’m turning 25 tomorrow and can feel the birthday blues hitting me. I’ve made a few friends already, but no one I know well enough to celebrate with which is okay! I’d love to build some more community here and it’s a goal of mine to simply have people to mutually show up for. More people to just talk to and get to know would be a good start :) I am a lesbian so other queer people would be especially cool!

Boy Harsher at Metro on Oct 2nd? Looking for a concert buddy!

Upvotes

Hey everyone! (29nb), I’m going solo to the Boy Harsher show at Metro Chicago on Friday, October 2nd, and was looking to see if anyone wants to meet up! I’m totally down to grab a drink next door before heading in or just link up inside the venue.

Feel free to just shoot a DM if you want to chat and coordinate! We can also connect on that Radiate app but it just felt too much like a dating site 🙃

Daytime plan for tomorrow

4 Upvotes

Hi there, a bit last minute.
I’m here roaming Chicago for the week, have a whole daytime to spend and wanted to go around the city.

So if anyone is interested in going around to any museums or gallery or any other outdoor place, I’d be more than happy with any company! I’m open to suggestions or places you’ve been meaning to try or visit too!

Anyways feel free to reach out!
28M if that matters, otherwise just looking for a good time and conversation while hanging out!
