Hey i’m 18f and my friend (19f) and i are looking for perth people who’d wanna be friends (18-22) that would regularly wanna hang out and can hang out last minute and at late times. we’re down for most things but our fav things are going to the beach (esp at night), clubs and playing games :) any genders welcome!! we also both study at curtin, please feel free to message! :)

Is there anyone in here who want to have a nice chat, coffee break anything not intimidating
I am 22f, doing cert iv in allied health assistance

42M. Married with a couple of kids 10 & 8.

Looking to see if there are any people out there looking to make friends too.

Recently moved to Perth

I only have a few friends around Perth, but we are all busy, and we find it hard to make schedules line up (family, work, business, etc)

I'm not much of a big drinker, one or two beers these days, so I'm not really looking for a drinking buddy to go get smashed with all the time.

Keen to find some shit to do or just hang out and talk trash.

M or F, no drama as we won't be fuckin or anything like that.

Shit I usually like doing, but am certainly not limited to - art, woodwork, making music, bike riding, hiking, just talking shit, going places, shopping, eating, gaming, coffee (nescafe will be ok if thats all you got cause im not a snob, but more than happy to pick up the tab on proper shit if that floats ya boat- you know, normal shit. I'm easy.

Get in touch.

I'm new to Perth. Have no friends yet, recently I've been interested in fishing. I have no fishing experience but I wanna learn about it.

It would be cool to go out for a drink or whatever somewhere and hear about other peoples lives. Don’t get out much as I’m a sole parent of 2.

Is anyone else in Perth lonely?

Genuine question.

I’m 30. Healthy. I love nature, the ocean, health, meaningful conversations, building businesses, personal growth, all that stuff.

I don’t drink.

Don’t do drugs.

I smile and say hello to pretty much everyone I pass.

And yet somehow… I genuinely cannot seem to make friends here.

Not surface-level acquaintances.

But even just a “bro we should catch up sometime”

Let alone actual community. Actual connection.

It honestly feels like if you didn’t lock in your circle in high school, everyone just stays in their lane forever.

Is there some kind of loneliness pandemic happening right now that nobody talks about?

Because I swear everyone looks so connected online, but in real life people seem isolated, exhausted, socially closed off, or glued to routine.

I’m at the point where I honestly understand why people pack up and move somewhere else entirely.

I’m seriously considering it, I’ve got nothing keeping me here except a desire to stay for some unknown reason..

Am I doing something wrong?

How are people actually making genuine friends in Perth as adults?

Or is everyone else quietly struggling with this too?

Hey everyone, I’m 20M and looking to meet some new people around Perth. I’m pretty much down for anything fun — grabbing food, watching movies, late night walks, running, chilling, exploring new places or random adventures. Just trying to make genuine friends and have a good time.

I’m easygoing and always keen to try new things, so if you’re bored or wanna hang out sometime, hit me up 🙂

Hey everyone! I’m 26, single, and looking to meet Friends.

I am new in Perth so it hard to make friends, but I’d really love to find someone to talk to, have a laugh with, and get to know.

I enjoy watching series sometimes, having good conversations, and meeting kind, genuine people. I’m just looking to connect with someone who gets me.

Send me a message if this sounds like you ☺️

Anyone else sick of trying to get through that awkward getting to know each other stage and just wanna act like we’ve been friends for years?

Let’s just get straight into it. I’m an open book and love having open conversations even if it’s about very personal things, it’s the best way to get to know someone. Making conversation and navigating what is and isn’t okay to talk about can be hard for me due to autism.

I also like to play video games, open Pokemon Cards, would like to try DnD more and watch anime though I haven’t been keeping up with it in the last few years.

Couple favourite games are Pokemon, Zelda, Monster Hunter, Life is Strange, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Slay the Spire. I own a lot of games so we possibly have some in common even if it’s not listed.

I’m south of the river

Please no men and LGBT+ friendly only

Tired of staying home on the weekends and watching movies alone. Would be nice to have a friend to go out with and enjoy my weekend with. I work full time however I am free on the weekends + Friday night. I live SOR so SOR would be ideal.

Thanks.

Hey Everyone!

I will be relocating back to Perth from Port Hedland.
Would be keen to get to know a few more people!
Open to anyone around the same age as myself, if you need someone to go eat at your favourite spot with, go hiking, camping, road trips, adventure walks, quad bike riding, fishing (although not good at it) just any random adventures really, I’d be keen!

I would never do this usually. I lost my partner 6 weeks ago, and I've spent 5 weeks in bed grieving, crying every day. My friend offered me two free tickets to this show as she can't go. I have asked some friends and nobody seems available and I don't want the ticket to go to waste. Crikey it would be nice to spend the night with a nice lady without worrying about anything feeling serious like it's a date because I am certainly and clearly not interested in romance right now. I just want to see Pretty Woman, with a pretty woman. I am 39/M. If there's anybody that would like a nice night out, I am a gentleman and would love some company and to have a laugh. I don't know what else to say, I feel weird posting this but whatever, I have been the biggest sad grieving sack of sadness for nearly 2 months and I'd just take my mother if I could but she passed away last year. I just want a nice night out with somebody.

Kind regards,

I’m in my 30s and I’ve realised something: I don’t actually want deep friendships right now.

I’m not looking for emotional closeness, long chats, or people who want to “open up.”

What I do want is activity companionship — people to do things with so I’m not always the lone person at a restaurant, or the solo player trying to find a pickleball partner, or the one exploring new places alone.

I function well independently, but I still want shared experiences.

Not intimacy. Not obligation. Just parallel enjoyment.

Is anyone else in this boat?

How do you build a social life around activity partners instead of traditional friendships?

Hi I'm 53m ,5 mnths sober and looking for like-minded sober mates to go surfing ,cycling,hiking ,or anything that doesn't involve getting drunk anyone keen leave a DM here and we will make it happen

Hii, I’m 18F from the Philippines moving to Perth next month and I’m trying to find friends around my age before I arrive 😭

I’m into music, cafes, beach sunsets, late-night drives, random deep talks, and exploring places. I also really wanna find someone to go with me to the Kodaline concert in Perth because I don’t wanna be standing there like a lost penguin alone HAHAHA

Preferably people around 17–21 since I’m still pretty young 🫶

Life has been super busy and ive finally now got the time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy what life throws at me... what do people do here in Perth, in their mid fifties, to keep socially/mentally active? I am physically fit and I'd love to hit the road and do a lap of Aussie b4 too much longer, and would love to chat with others with maybe a similar dream..
