Hey, so I seen a post on here of a straight male saying he wasn’t into sports, which makes it hard for him to make friends. That made me curious in knowing: how many of you straight males living in Mass is not into sports or into the standard US sport? And is it making it hard for you to make friends in Mass?

I know Mass can be very cliquish, especially the males, and Mass seems to kinda of centers around sports. So, naturally, you will see a lot of straight males into sports and getting along with other males who like the standard US sport. So, really, I’m just curious to know if there were more of you out there.

BTW, I’m 34 straight male living in Mass. I went from not being into sports, then finding out I’m just not into the standard US sport, but i will take any horror/ haunting/paranormal activity and Anime over sport anytime lol.

i’m 26f and looking to meet people who are into live music. thought it could be fun to get a little whatsapp group together to talk music and meet up for shows around boston!

i’m coming from chicago, which has a really vibrant music scene, and want to explore the boston scene more. also figured it could be a fun way to meet people and make friends with similar music taste.

i’m mostly into indie/alternative/rock stuff; artists like courtney barnett, sleater kinney, fiona apple, mj lenderman, feeble little horse, porches, cate le bon, big thief, etc. always down to discover new artists and check out local bands!

ideally looking for people who are into similar kind of music and would be down to go to shows together, whether it’s small local gigs or bigger shows.

comment or dm me if you’d be interested and i can get a group chat going!

I have an AMC Stubs membership that I barely use because going to the movies alone gets boring.
Are there any movie clubs or groups I could join? If not, I’d be down to start one if anyone’s interested!
I’m open to movies of any genre or language. Comedy and action are my favorites, but I’m always up for trying something new.
Let me know if anyone’s interested!

I'm not from here and I think they are awesome.

I saw 5 turkeys together on the street. I wanted to get closer to take some pictures, but I'm scared they might get angry and chase me, lol.

Made a trip up to Salem. I’m from pa and some smoke shops will have actual shroom gummies. Last minute decided to make a stop in Boston bc it’s close, would there be any smoke shops down there to swing by?

Woman in my 30s looking to make some new friends around Boston! Would love to meet up for dinner, drinks, or a night out. Just looking for good company, good conversation, and people who are up for getting out of the house. Anyone else in the same boat? Message me

I am 31F looking to make new friends who are into art. I love going to the theatre, ballet, cinema, museums, anything to do with art. I am looking to join a painting class too. If you're interested in going to shows, feel free to reach out!

i am not looking for a relationship and I’m taken.

Soo I haven’t really had the chance to build the kind of social circle I’d like since coming to Boston/U.S. in early 2026. After settling down a bit, I’ve realized now how much I miss having people to regularly connect and make memories with over shared interests and activities. So, I thought it’s time to put myself out there, looking for new friends. For starters, I thought it’d be fun to meet up this weekend for some board games, or maybe walk around MtAuburn cemetery (always wanted to check it out haha) if anyone’s interested :)

I’m 28M originally from Iran, and currently do clinical research here. I live around fenway and T is my best friend moving around as I can't ride a bike (yet) :(.

I’m a casual serious board gamer (think Zee Garcia if you know him!) and am also into football (EPL, La Liga, UCL — on the moon with how Barca is playing right now). I also love reading about human relationships, psychology, and social criticism whenever I find time. other hobbies: cooking, crying to movies/anime, quoting HIMYM, and having good conversations while learning about people's stories. And of course I'm open to trying any new hobby you might be looking to share!

Having a similar worldview is also pretty valuable to me when making friends so I’d love to meet fellow leftists (basically 90% of Boston lol) who don't worship Stalin (ok we're down to 60%), so we can also bond over complaining about the state of the world together🥹

tldr: if you're also in need of a small community, let's connect and start making one!

So, a while back, I proposed a meetup for us older folk. I didn't have much time during the summer to host anything.

But I have some time to host on either October 16th or October 23rd after work. Both days are Fridays. I'm thinking we can start at 6PM?

We got a huge response last time, so I am looking for a spot that potentially accommodate a decent crowd and isn't potentially too loud. I think the Great American Beer Hall in Medford might be good for this, maybe Aeronaut in Somerville too. I am open to suggestions though!

The aim of this meetup is just to get us 30+ people together so that we can all mingle platonically and meet people our age. Maybe you will exchange numbers and meet your BFF for the new age. There's no agenda, just come (no need to drink if you don't) and meet your fellow olds.

So, in the comments below, just note which date you prefer and if you have any venue suggestions. I will make a separate post announcing further details.

Just wanted to share if you are part of the Lgbtq community and are looking for a safe space this spot is opening https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd7zmSikckJ/

The Middlesex turns 22 tonight and they are playing 90s music from 7pm-10pm - perfect for anyone who wants to be in bed by 11pm! Their decades nights are always a fun time and the DJ is amazing.

Hi there! I'm Leon, 41, from Europe and I'm visiting the Boston area for a business trip and am in a need of a local or someone to talk to or give me some suggestions on what I need to visit while I'm here.

Do you like hot yoga? Do you like going for HGW and getting drinks? Do you like museums and cute cocktails afterwards?
Then please, raise your hand!
I am 30F, I live south of Boston, working professional. Looking to make girl friends who enjoy being active and also a little girly.
