Hi, I’m 20, looking for a gym in the Gladesville/ryde/hunters hill area where there’s a good amount of people like 18-25. Willing to drive a bit for a gym where there’s a good amount of people my age, you know, for socialising (and working out of course)
Where and how do I actually meet people my age as a 20 year old guy, friends, romantic interests, men, women, I don’t care. Just people my age. I’m in uni but unis in Sydney are commuter unis so it seems everyone accepts you just go to class and go home. I do have friends but not too many and this sucks because I know the easiest way is just friends of friends and your social circle keeps growing, and you can be not lonely without actually doing anything/being anywhere.
None of the gyms around me (trust me I’ve checked) seem to be social/for people my age, they are just small ones and crowds are like people aged 30+ coming after work. I did used to have a gym which was larger, more social with plenty of people my age, and I learned that if you go at the same time you can meet people who also do. But that place is gone now.
Going to pubs/bars/clubs alone just does not seem plausible in Sydney, everyone is there with their own circle and it genuinely feels like you could go without an interaction the whole night. I guess I could find a mate and go just the two of us and try and meet more people? Not sure. And I’ve tried the dating apps but they just aren’t for me.
Not to sound pessimistic but I’m starting to lose hope. It just seems like your social life is limited to whatever circle you built in high school. Advice/thoughts?
