Silly little event I am putting on tonight. We will be meeting tonight (Wednesday August 19th) at 6:30pm at Barb Scott Park in downtown Calgary for a fun 5k run followed by volleyball and spikeball in the park.

Even if you don’t smoke or don’t run, you are more than welcome to come hangout! This is meant to be a stupid, unserious, and free event so come down, have some fun, and make some friends!!!

Here is the Instagram post for the event if you are interested.

Yooo, anyone going on a hike this Sunday? 👋

I’m planning to hit Opal Ridge, but I’m open to other options as well. Let me know if anyone’s down to join! 🥾⛰️

Hi all,

With the Premier League season kicking off next week, I thought I'd reach out to see who's interested!

I'm a 30F who loves watching games in person — it's always more fun watching with others, even with the time difference.

I mainly follow my own team (Arsenal), but I'm happy to watch other matchups if it's a good game.

The Ship or Elephant & Castle are usually solid for watching, but I'm open to other spots too.

The pitch: a group of us watching games together and chatting about the league. If there's interest, I'd also be down to set up a Fantasy Premier League mini-league for the group.

DM me if you're interested!

Hello CalgarySocialClub.

I don't have any hobbies that get me socializing. I enjoy watching movies, tv shows, video games , 3dprinting, trying to paint, coffee and going for drives.

Let me know if you wanna chat.

Tired of hiking groups that leave you eating their dust? Same. 😅

Looking for laid-back hikers in Calgary/Canmore who want to take it EASY, stop for photos, catch our breath, maybe have a snack halfway up (no judgment, we've all been there). This is a zero-pressure, no-speed-demons zone. Whether you're working on your fitness, just getting into hiking, or simply prefer to enjoy the journey instead of racing it, come join the slow squad! 🐢💪

Thinking Ha Ling Peak or Sulphur Mountain for our first adventure together, and yes, we can carpool so nobody has to drive solo or pay for gas alone. Let's get outside, get moving, and have some fun doing it!

Drop a comment or DM me if you're in! 🙌

So the long and short of it I got out of my engagement and now that the dust is settled I noticed the lack of friends I have, my interests and hobbies are. Video games , nature walks ,talking about science and or comic books . But honestly if you don't share the same interests I'd still love to be friends feel free too dm

I'm of African descent but grew mostly here.

- Space exploration

- Searching for ways to make crazy dreams come true

- Just being a listener.. I enjoy exploring people's worlds as much as my own

- And other things..

I'm relearning how to make friends as an adult. Ever since leaving Uni, it's been a struggle lol. Do you relate? Let's be each other's lab rats 🤓

I don't care if you're awkward and quiet.. tbh that'll probably ease my nerves.. least there's two of us 🤸

Hi there!

I've been in Calgary pretty much my whole life, but I don't really have a friend circle or anyone to hang out with. I've always been more of an introvert and homebody tbh, and happy to do things alone, although lately I've been thinking it would be nice to make some friends too.

My hobbies aren't super social, they're just things I do in my free time like reading, working on art projects, or working out. I also like to watch movies and tv shows, which I usually do with an online friend who I've never met in person. I guess you could say I'm still trying to discover what I like to do with others or who I am in social settings. So I would love to meet new people and try new things.

If anyone has any ideas on where/how I can do this, I would appreciate it. Thank you! 🙂

Hey 👋. Been here in Calgary for 2 years and haven’t had genuine local friends. I work remotely and I feel like I’m always confined in my room/house. I have a partner and we have 2 small dogs. I also work in tech but based in Toronto. Please send me a chat or comment if you’re down for some fresh connections and shared hobbies. Btw I love coffee too! Quite introverted here. Lol

34F. Been trying to get back into fitness after having a rough chronic pain flare over the last few months. Would love someone I could text with and share our fitness and healthy eating on the regular for accountability and it’s just more fun to have someone to share the experience with. If we happen to live close maybe do some IRL workouts together would be fun too.

I usually go from near bowness and paddleboard down the river to peace bridge. Usually takes about an hour. Thinking Tuesday. I know a place where you can rent one if you’re interested. Can share pics from last time

Hello everyone!

My boyfriend and I (both in our 30s) are new to Calgary. We’re looking for new friends. We are outdoorsy and LOVE to ski. We also love reading fantasy and horror, and a good board game night. Looking for people that want to meet up at the hill (we have passes to Sunshine Village) or play some Catan.

Thanks 💖

Hi, my name is Gabriel, I'm 27 years old.

I'm Brazilian, living in London, and I'll soon be moving to Canada, specifically Calgary.

I would like to meet new people and make friends, as I don't know anyone who lives in Canada.

I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, cooking, and playing guitar, and going out for a beer every now and then.

Finally, let's get to know each other, chat, have fun, and if you want I can teach you Portuguese and make a Brazilian barbecue hahaha

I'll post my Instagram in the comments.

I turn 30 in a few months, and apparently I’m about to enter the decade where I’m supposed to have my shit together.

So, veterans of your 30s and beyond: what do you genuinely wish someone had told you before turning 30?

And spare me the “your knees start hurting” and “hangovers last three days” starter pack. 😂

I want the real shit. Money. Careers. Friendships. Dating. Family. Health. Regrets. Things you wasted too much time worrying about. Things you should’ve started sooner. Things nobody warns you about until you’re already balls-deep in adulthood wondering why nobody sent an instruction manual.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give your 29-year-old self knowing what you know now?

Hit me with the wisdom, mistakes, existential crises and cheat codes.

It’s Acadian day and no better way to spend the day together and meeting fellow acadians. My wife and I want to meet other acadians in yyc. If you’re interested in coming over and having drink in SE Calgary. (OYOB) DM

I’ve been wanting a Filipina friend for a while but I only see them when they’re at work and wouldn’t want to disturb.

Where else can I meet them?

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the kinds of connections I’ve tried to build, especially online. I got emotionally invested in places that weren’t really meant for genuine connection, and when things ended, it affected me more than I expected.My social life has changed a lot over the past couple of years too. I’m not part of the same groups or communities I used to be, and when I stopped being the one who always reached out, a lot of friendships faded. It’s surprising how quickly things disappear when you stop carrying all the weight yourself.All of that has left me feeling a bit disconnected — not in a dramatic way, just in a quiet, reflective way. Sometimes it feels like I care more deeply than the world around me knows how to respond to. Not that I’m “too much,” but that I’m wired for connection in a world that often stays surface‑level. And I’ve come to accept that this is simply who I am: someone who feels deeply, values connection, and shows up with sincerity. I’m not going to deny or ignore that. I’m just trying to understand what it means for me moving forward. Still interested in connecting with genuine people who don't mind initiating back and forth. So that I don't feel like I'm always the one disturbing or bothering or carrying that weight anymore.

Wonder if there’ll be people that will be down if there’ll be a meet up activity for introverted men in the city?
