33F, no kids, originally from SD but moved to the south over 20 years ago. I’m revisiting LA before my move in October 🛫, and looking forward to it.

Currently in Texas, and I’ll be moving to LA at the beginning of April next year. I figured I’d join now to start connecting with people ahead of time because I’ve realized how hard it can be to make genuine friendships when everything is so location-based.

I’m really into music, singing, writing, and anything creative. I love trying new food spots (I’m a big foodie 😋, so I’m open to everything lol), exploring new places, and just enjoying good energy and good conversation. I can be a homebody sometimes, but I also love getting out and experiencing new things.

I’m someone who really values genuine, mutual friendships; people who are supportive, can laugh, communicate, and just be real with each other. I’m just looking to build solid connections and a community when I make my move.

If anyone is open to connecting, chatting, or even has recommendations for places, groups, or things to do in LA, I’d love that 😊

I wanted to update my post. I don’t know exactly where in LA I’ll move too. It could very well be downtown. But that all depends on if my family is moving with me or not. I won’t know until October. I have a few friends that are LA natives or grew up around SoCal. I’m aware that the northern part of LA may not be considered LA to some people, however it’s still in LA county and if I need to make a drive I will. Regardless I’m excited to go back home to Cali.

Hey LA! My SO and I booked Captain Dave's Whale Geek Cetacean Exploration leaving at noon this Saturday, but we need at least 3 people to sail and right now it's just the two of us. Boat maxes out at 6, so there's room for up to 4 more.

We really want to see some whales (I heard blue whales are around!!) and would hate for the trip to get canceled! If you've been wanting to get out on the water, this is your sign. Would love some company out there (Also totally fine if you just want to do your own thing on the boat. we are both introverts so no awkward socializing required.)

DM me if you're interested (or don't, can just book your tickets on their website!)

Edit: it's about $200~ per person and at Dana Point! Definitely on the pricier side of whale watching but given the smaller group and going out on the yacht I think it will be worth it!

Here are some things that people want to do this week around LA and want people to join them! also washedup.app will have a tent at the pride parade in WeHo in June and would love people to come by to even give a hour of energy and celebrate community! App is completely free just a way to bring people together. 😄

Traveling by myself as a 27 yo woman. Staying really close to Venice beach this weekend. Is there anything happening this weekend like shows at small venues, exhibits, activities or especially dive bars that are okay with being by yourself esp as a woman? I love live bands, comedy, dj sets, art shows or anything straight authentic. I also love dive bars lol.

Looking for fun Pride events outside of the weekend parade-any suggestions? 🏳️‍🌈

I have my car parked at the union station and was hoping to find some plans tonight! 29M Looking for an emo night, punk rock or EDM type venue. Please help point me in the right direction

Me and my friends (x3 girls ages 22-23) are heading to USA for the first time at the end of July. Wondering is there any nightlife or fun things to do to make the most out of our time there and get the full experience?

We love fun nights out but have been told to reduce expectations for nightlife in LA

Hi all,

I’m newish to LA and have a 24hr fitness membership that I haven’t used consistently.

Anyone open to hitting the gym together?

I’m 33, in hollywood, heathy, used to workout 4-5 times a week. Also play soccer throughout the week.

I usually go solo to WHAMMY! Analog Media (a VHS store by day, microcinema by night) to watch independent movies (movies that don't get to be played at larger screens in general).
Anyway tomorrow they're playing Veerana, an Indian erotic supernatural horror film and I was wondering if anyone else is also going and wants to go together, to this or other screenings.

A ton of women are meeting at park this upcoming weekend, on May 17, and a lot of us know each other from different book clubs that we’re all a part of.

For more information, just head over to Instagram and message the organizer of the free event. Their Instagram handle is aubtron

Hello, my name is Marcus, and I am looking for a friend or an excuse to meet new people or feel less lonely.

I'm male and I'm 30.

My interests include cooking, baking, board games, video games, movies, television, and live-action role-playing.

Some hobbies I want to get into in the future are powerlifting, strongman, leatherworking, and traveling more.

My red flags are: I live in Inglewood, I don’t know how to drive (yet), and my attempt at humor is mid at best. I'm also a horrible texter, but I'm going to therapy to become a better texter and communicator in general. (Additionally, I’m a late-diagnosed ADHD person working on managing my anxiety and learning disabilities.)

Here is my Instagram @mr_teppenyaki to prove I'm real.
