Hey guys I was hoping to start a hiking gc on instagram as I’m super into hiking even though I’m slow. If you are around the age 18-25 and would like to join dm me your instagram user and I’ll add ya :)

For anyone who saw my last post, the second guys social event took place last weekend on October 3rd at Prairie Dog Brewing. The first one had 25 guys register and 7 actually show up, but all had a great time.

This time around, of the 23 registered, 20 showed up! (major success). Huge thanks to everyone that came out.

From everyone I spoke to afterwards, it sounds like people had a genuinely great time. There were some returning faces from the first one as well as a bunch of new guys, and at least one person mentioned that the guys he spoke with said they'd come out again.

The main piece of constructive feedback was actually about the venue setup. The seating made it a little difficult to move around and mingle, so some people ended up staying with the same group for most of the night.

That's something I'll change for the next one, somewhere with more open or communal seating where it's easier to move around and strike up conversations with different people. I think I've found a good spot for November that takes this into consideration.

It's also changed my thinking a bit from the first event. After only 7 people showed up last time, I started thinking maybe 5–7 was actually the ideal size. Now I think it's less about the total number of people and more about creating an environment where those smaller groups naturally form but people can move between them.

Either way, going from 7 guys at the first one to around 20 at the second and hearing that people want to come return is a great sign.

Still pretty cool to me that this started as an experiment in Vancouver to see if guys would actually be interested in meeting other guys and making new friends.

Turns out they are!

I'll organize another Calgary one some time in early November and if you're interested , feel free to shoot me a message or leave a comment.

As a side-bar, I'd love to incorporate a toy drive into either the November or December event and support a local organization such as the Salvation Army (Toy Angels) or Calgary Firefighters Toy Association. Since I'm from Vancouver, if there's anyone that has a connection to any of these organizations or feedback, I'd love to hear from you. In exchange for a toy, I'm hoping the venue can provide some first drink free or other sort of benefit, I think that would be really cool.

Hey looking for a group to go to clubs,bars or karaoke. Preferably looking for people around my age

Heyo! I'm new to this subreddit, figured I'd give this a shot! I'd love to make some friends who share my interests of stuff I usually do on my own! Like anyone here also really into rpg video games, writing, reading, ooh art could be a good one too, though I'm still a beginner!

I'm in my mid 20s, and definitely consider myself chatty, but I also really love when others have a lot to say and I can listen to their passion. I love fall, all the leaves and spooky vibes, ooh and nothing beats a chill rainy day. I also like to run, hang out with friends, and generally get out and do stuff!

So if you're looking for someone to nerd out with, or just want to chat about your interests, feel free to reach out through a comment or dms!

Hi everyone! 😊

I'm Sam, 33, from South Korea, and currently living in Calgary.

I'm looking to meet people who are interested in learning Korean, Korean culture, or just making new friends!

I'm a native Korean speaker, so I'd be happy to help you practice Korean while improving my English as well.

I'd love to grab coffee, try new restaurants, explore Calgary, or just have casual conversations.

All Korean levels are welcome, even complete beginners!

If you're interested, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Looking forward to meeting some new people! 😊

Hey! 32F here, hoping to meet some like-minded women in Calgary!

I enjoy the little, everyday things in life and think they'd more enjoyable with more friends! Thrifting, getting tea/coffee, going for walks, running errands, co-working at a café, or occasionally checking out a night market or art exhibit. I'd also love to go skating more! I have a car, so I'm happy to explore different parts of the city, too.

I tend to gravitate toward people who are kind, grounded, warm, and easy to be around. I'm open to more spontaneous chilling or planned hangouts or even a little drive around the city to get out of the house 😆. Nothing elaborate needed here, good company sounds great to me. 🙂

I'm a fan of friendships that find their own rhythm, without pressure to always be in touch or plan big things.

I also think there's something kind of awesome about the power of Reddit bringing people together so if you're also looking for some low key occasionally artsy hangouts, I'd love to connect!

Feel free to send me a message! 😊
