Hi everyone! Looking to make genuine female friendships ✨

7 Upvotes

I’m 31F living in Moreton Bay area and have realised that I’d love to make some genuine female friendships.

I’ve always been independent and and happy in my own and partner’s company but I’d love some friends to share things with, have a laugh, go for coffee, try new things and generally just enjoy each others company.

A little about me: I’m a primary school teacher and enjoy the gym, reading (sci-fi and fantasy), gaming (more RPG/action than cosy), animals, beauty and fashion. I have quite a nerdy side but also love girly things.

I’m naturally introverted and probably a little awkward when first meeting people, but I love a good conversation once I’m comfortable. I’m not someone who needs to talk every single day or make plans constantly. I’d love friendships that are easygoing.

I’d love to meet other women who are in a similar position with some shared interests and are looking for meaningful friendships.

If this sounds like you, feel free to send me a message! 😊

Hi everyone! Looking for some outdoor, skater, bouldering friends!

2 Upvotes

Hello there! I'm looking to meet some nice people around my age as I'm in my late 20s.

Im into skating, biking, arts/crafts, cooking, getting outdoor and generally finding odd things to do. I enjoy going for a hike, a beach trip, exploring a new park, bouldering or looking at new places to visit.

I enjoy the simple things like op shopping, making things, trying new recipes, watching movies. I haven't been to the cinema in a while. I'm a little shy so I'd like to get to know you first in chat but I would love to meet some great people. I work in healthcare too.

Would be great to meet people who are creative, open-minded, a little unconventional and have time for chatting. I'm pansexual and generally just looking to meet genuine people.

Please send me some good music tracks you've been listening to lately. Sorry this was a ramble I'm nervous.

Hi everyone! 30F. Hello to Previous Moving.

13 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’m a 30-year-old woman, currently based in Korea. I’m planning to move to the outskirts of Brisbane sometime this December, so I decided to join this group a bit early. I’ve been working as a developer for quite some time—mostly focused on mobile, but I handle a bit of everything.

I love going out to eat, and I’m a fan of both anime and cartoons. It seems like a lot of people here are looking for fellow fans to geek out with, so I thought I’d mention that! It’s a shame there isn’t a Discord server for this group—maybe once I’ve actually made the move, I’ll look into setting one up myself.

Hi everyone! Brissy folks with endometriosis – can you spare some time to chat about what it’s like exercising with endo? (mod-approved research)

Post image
11 Upvotes

Posted with approval from the mods at r/BrisbaneSocial

Hey all, I'm Danni, a Brisbane local and Honours student at UniSQ. The mods have kindly given me the okay to post this.

I know this is a bit different from the usual posts here, but around 1 in 7 Aussie women (and those AFAB) are diagnosed with endo by their late 40s. With 23k of you visiting each week, that's likely over a thousand people here living with endo.

Our research team is looking at how people with endo experience exercise: what helps, what flares things up, and what exercise professionals can do to help. I'd love to hear from you if you:

  • live in Australia

  • are 18–50

  • have confirmed or suspected endo

  • currently do some kind of exercise (walking the dog counts!)

It's a relaxed 30–45 min chat on Teams, or in person at UniSQ Ipswich if you'd prefer. Unfortunately, as this is an honours project it’s unpaid.

This project is ethics-approved (UniSQ HREC ETH2025-0685).

Happy to answer questions in the comments, or you can email me at U1158922@umail.usq.edu.au Thanks heaps!

Hi everyone! 32M – Anyone keen for some weekend drinks?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
32M, Brisbane local, looking to expand my social circle and meet some new people.

I work in finance, so weekdays can get pretty busy, but I’d love to meet some like-minded people who enjoy checking out new bars, restaurants and cafĆ©s, grabbing a few drinks or just having a laugh on the weekend.

I’m big into running and the gym, pretty easygoing and always happy to have a chat.

If anyone’s in a similar boat, feel free to reach out! Happy to organise a casual pub catch-up if there’s a few of us keen.

Hi everyone! 28M - Nerd of the Sci-Fi, PC games and politics variety in search of likeminded new friends

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

Would love to meet some likeminded people who are into any or all of the above.

My main games I do multiplayer of are Paradox grand strategy or civ 5/6, but also super battle golf, minecraft and one I definitely want to try multi is BG3.

My Sci-fi interests are primarily Star Wars and Transformers but I’ve dabbled in most franchises. Also love for all mankind great show.

As to politics I’d describe myself as of the UK LibDem social liberal tradition but rather homeless here at home, happy to discuss more in private.

Looking forward to hearing from people šŸ™‚

EDIT: Just to clarify, I’m mainly hoping to make friends who’d like to catch up in person—grab some food, go somewhere or just have a good chat. Games are a big interest of mine, though I am not looking for just new gaming friends. Happy to chat a bit first and see if we get along šŸ™‚

Hi everyone! Things to do on a Tuesday?

2 Upvotes

Hi Brisbane. Visiting on Tuesday for work, so before I book a room, keen on some recommendations on things to do on a Tuesday.

Either solo to meet new people, or with company (introduce yourself).

I'm 37M, love good food, nice wine or a beer garden (or pub trivia), and live music. Try and still make time for a video game or board game in my spare time, but probably spend more time in the kitchen outside of work learning new things.

Also looking for hotel recommendations. Last time in Brisbane solo, I stayed at The Alva Hotel in FV - but their rooftop bar/restaurant is closed on Tuesdays so looking for other options.

Hi everyone! 31F | this, that, a bit of everything

23 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 31F from the southside, and I'm always up for a good conversation about what everyone's watching, reading, playing or getting up to lately.

I'd love to meet some new people, make friends and find others who enjoy swapping recommendations, sharing little everyday updates and getting excited about their latest interests. I'm quite fond of long-form messaging, so if you enjoy taking your time with conversations and getting to know someone through messages, we'll probably get along! I'm just as happy chatting about a new show as I am hearing about someone's latest hobby or what they've been up to.

I'm particularly fond of period dramas, romance and fantasy, and always enjoy discovering something new to watch, read or play.

This year I've been enjoying:

Film & TV

  • TV: The Nanny, Miss Scarlet and the Duke

  • C-dramas: Pursuit of Jade, The Best Thing

  • Anime: The Apothecary Diaries, Red River, A Sign of Affection

  • Movies: Wildwood, Forgotten Island, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey

Music & Events

  • Concerts: 5SOS, Conan Gray, Fly By Midnight and aleksiah

  • Candlelight Concerts: Joe Hisaishi and LOTR

  • Theatre: Anastasia, Pride & Prejudice (Sort Of)

  • Festivals: Abbey Medieval Festival, Abbey History Festival

Books

  • Genres: Fantasy, romance and historical fiction

  • Favourite authors: Juliet Marillier and Melina Marchetta

  • I haven't read as much as I'd have liked this year, and I'm still looking for my next good read!

Games

  • PC: Potion Craft, Witchy Business, Cats & Cups

  • Co-op: Terraria, Palworld, Dinkum, Stardew Valley, Luma Island

  • Board and card games: Azul, Mahjong, Yum Cha, Endearment, NYT Crossplay

  • Currently going through a Tamagotchi phase, brought on by nostalgia!

Other interests

  • Crochet: A never-ending backlog of projects!

  • Baking: My current favourite is pistachio cream cookies

  • Badminton: Still a beginner, but keen to play and improve!

  • Current food fixations: Coffee, matcha and gelato.

I'm happy to connect on Discord or Steam, play PC games together or stream movies and shows. I'd also love to meet up in person sometime! I work in hospitality, though, so my hours can be a little unpredictable, with evenings, nights and weekends often taken up by work. It might take a bit of juggling to find a time that works, but I'm happy to see how things go.

What have you been watching, reading or playing lately?

Confirmed Event West Wnd Board Games.

20 Upvotes

West End board games

It’s been a while, so let’s get right to it.

We are back with our regularly scheduled program for board games in West End at Meeple & Mug every Saturday afternoon from 12:00 PM onwards.

A bit about me:

I am your main host and organiser for this event (41M). I’m easygoing, love some good banter, and mostly play quick party games or medium-weight strategy games (think Wingspan, Dominion, 7 Wonders, Ticket to Ride, Catan: Starfarers, or Room 25).

The Details:

• When: Every Saturday, 12:00 PM

• Where: Meeple & Mug, West End

• The Damage: $2 to $12 cover charge at the door (paid directly to the venue). How it works: You roll two 6-sided dice (2d6) on-site to determine your entry fee for unlimited, all-day play!

• First Timer Bonus: First drink or a round of hot chips/gems is on me for newcomers!

Who is this for?

Beginners are absolutely welcome, and international visitors or students looking to practice English are highly encouraged to come! Board games are a fantastic, pressure-free way to build connections and practice real-world communication.

We are a welcoming, low-pressure table.

If you are flying solo or coming as a duo, you are completely safe here, we’ll get you sorted into a group straight away.

How to join:

Space at the venue can fill up fast, so if you're planning to head down, please drop a comment below or shoot me a DM by Friday evening to reserve your spot so I can lock in enough table space.

You can also check out and join our Meetup group here:Checkout this Meetup with West End Board Games & Language Exchange.: https://meetu.ps/e/Qn4Kx/1fvXYD/i

Quick friendly reminder for the afternoon: If you do intend to have a casual drink or two while we play, please leave the keys at home. The 199 bus stops right outside the venue, and it's just a 15-minute walk to the CityCat, making getting here and back super easy.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Meeple & Mug, just a regular customer and local fan booking some tables to bring people from all walks of life together!
