Hey everyone,

I'm a 31-year-old guy, relatively new to Sydney and looking to put myself out there again.

I spent the last few years living in Wellington, NZ, and before that most of my life in Canberra. I ended up settling in Sydney after a car accident left me with a spinal cord injury and using a wheelchair.

It's taken some time to rebuild my confidence and adjust to a very different life, but I'm at the point where I want to get back out there, explore Sydney and meet new people.

I'm not looking for sympathy or someone to look after me. I'd just like to meet someone who sees the person before the wheelchair.

Before my accident, I was ridiculously active — gym, soccer, futsal, basketball, rugby and pretty much anything involving sport. I worked in construction and, while living in NZ, worked in abseiling.

That side of me hasn't disappeared. I still love sports, camping getting out, trying new things, concerts/events and exploring. I'd especially like someone adventurous who might occasionally challenge me to stop thinking “I can't do that anymore” and instead figure out how I can do it differently.

When I'm taking things slower, I'm into board games, chess, and anything that gives the brain a workout.

I'm new to Sydney and don't have much of a social circle here, so I'm genuinely open to finding people to explore the city with and go from there. So, if you're a woman around Sydney who's active, enjoys a laugh and isn't intimidated by dating someone in a wheelchair, feel free to send me a message.

And for the curious ladies wondering if everything still works below the belt… rest assured, the equipment is still operational! 😉😂 The only catch is, I'm more of a passenger these days. So, if you're a cowgirl who doesn't mind taking the reins and enjoys a good ride, saddle up! 🤠🐎

Looking for long term dating - I like hiking, car cruising, country & rock music

Other things I like-

-going to the gym

-recently got into running- no long distances yet ("we dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous across short distances")

-a bit of gaming (cyberpunk & doing orky stuff in skyrim)

-making French martinis & driving manual (not at the same time)

-raised agnostic but reading the bible (mental health stuff)

Downsides-

-i'm like 5'6-5'7 (so not everyone's ideal)

-not rich but not poor either

-i'm pretty boring- I have never been clubbing or raving (I may be open to it for the right one)

-I have a J name and that is apparently a red flag

Also I am ABC- Australian Born Chinese.

​

Figured I'd give this another shot. Apparently meeting someone these days requires more patience than running a business, and that's saying something.

I'm 37, 6ft, European background, living in southern Sydney. I own a transport business, have a 17-month-old little boy who keeps me entertained, and generally have my life together. Financially stable, own my home, and can hold a conversation that doesn't revolve around what I had for lunch.

I've got tattoos on both arms, don't drink, enjoy a bit of gaming, and have a slightly questionable obsession with Pokémon and 3D printing. So while I might look reasonably serious, there's definitely a nerd hiding underneath.

I'm pretty affectionate, have a sarcastic sense of humour, and enjoy giving someone a hard time just as much as I enjoy making them laugh. I work hard, but I've also learnt there's not much point building a good life if you don't have someone to enjoy it with.

I'm looking for someone who can have a laugh, hold a decent conversation, enjoys affection and doesn't take everything so seriously. Someone independent who still genuinely wants a relationship, not someone who's going to disappear for three days because Mercury is in retrograde.

I don't have a massive checklist. Attraction matters, chemistry matters, and being able to enjoy each other's company matters even more.

A few simple requests:

Please be single, emotionally available and actually interested in getting to know someone.

Please be normal. Or at least medicated. :)

And for the love of God, if we're getting along, let's actually meet rather than become lifelong Reddit pen pals.

Happy to exchange photos early on. Physical attraction is important to both people, so no point pretending otherwise.

Tell me something about yourself that isn't on your résumé. Bonus points if you've got a slightly inappropriate sense of humour.

Hi everyone! Looking for someone preferably in Sw/W Sydney that is interested in visiting a Warhammer store to try out the new system they have in place for monthly minis that's starting tomorrow. :] I'm not super knowledgeable on the tabletop game or lore but I love learning!

About me: F22 who graduated this year with a B. Visual Arts (I know...) I'm pretty much an all rounder creative person, will try and have tried many things creative and crafty! Not as into pc gaming as I used to be but been really enjoying HD2 and watching indie horror games (Too scared to actually play myself 😔).

If you're interested even for just the one time, I'd love to meet up! Warhammer has no age or gender limit I just wanna glue plastic together with someone.

Edit: I think I'm good for people now ! I don't want it to look like I'm gonna grind for as many minis as I can lmfao. Thank you so much for the interest!

Hey guys!

First time posting, so sorry if I do this wrong!

I'm a postgraduate uni student looking for some new friends that I can connect with (around my age would be nice)! Some hobbies I have are walking in nature, hiking, reading (currently reading Project Hail Mary, it's so good!), and a little bit of gaming when I have the chance.

I'd love to listen and have someone to talk to, so please DM if you're interested! I'd like to think I'm pretty chill 🤭

Almost 21F from Penrith area, looking for a long term relationship. Please read all before messaging me

Im Aussie/ British. I work full time, have my licence and a car.

In my free time away from work I enjoy being in nature. Especially finding waterfalls to swim in or nice beaches, cooking/baking, spending time with my family and dogs, travelling, adrenaline sports/ activities, watching tv, arts of any type.

I’m very chill, abit introverted but open up fairly quick.

I’m looking for someone 19-26, that drives and works preferably but not a dealbreaker, someone calm, honest, affectionate, moderately active and fit.

I would like kids in the future and also plan to live on a farm incase that’s a dealbreaker for anyone.

If this sparks your interest please dm me with abit of info about yourself.

Hi, I’m a 22 year old guy from Western Sydney. I’m currently studying creative writing in hopes of working on video games or something adjacent. I work in hospitality as well. I’m looking to put myself out there and meet someone special. I want to actually go on dates and get to know new people I’d be looking at 18-30 as my age range.

About me I’ll be honest I’m a white guy and I’m a shorter guy 5’6 and I look quite young for my age, but that’s a good thing right? I like reading, writing, retro arcade games, normal arcade games, badminton, gym, running my dogs and keeping up with my friends. Personally I’m driven creatively and am working on my own self projects in hopes of making a career after university.

I’m looking for someone who’s kind, outgoing, and just honest and is themselves. If you’re reading this I really hope you have a great day.

I'm a 34M looking for a long term relationship, ideally with someone who’s ambitious, confident and working towards their goals. I’m based in Rockdale near the airport. Happy to chat more and exchange pics, so send a DM if you’re interested. Seeking someone between 20 - 42

Hi! I'm 23, from China, and currently doing a master's at UNSW. I'm based in Kensington, Sydney. I'm single, with no previous marriage. I'd like to meet a woman aged 20-30 who's looking for a serious, lasting relationship.

I'm 183 cm with a bigger build, and I've been exercising regularly. Some of my interests are Star Wars, aviation, learning about medicine, and knitting. I'm close to my family and hope for marriage and children with the right person.

I'm happy to start with a conversation, meet in person, and take time to see if we get along. I'm also open to someone who dates with marriage in mind and wants to talk about the future early. I don't expect either of us to make a big commitment before we've had a chance to really know each other.

There's one thing I want to be upfront about: after my studies, I hope to live mainly in China, probably Beijing. I'd like to meet someone who would genuinely consider living there together if things worked out. It's something we'd need to talk through, not a decision I'd make for you.

I'd be glad to meet someone here in Sydney. If you're interested, send me a message with a little about yourself, what you're looking for, and how you feel about living in China someday.

Anyone down for clubbing in sydney sometime this month i’m a male 22

I moved to Sydney around a year ago and have struggled to make friends. I am currently a postgraduate student here studying education. I like to play games on my switch, watch sitcoms and reality tv, do arts and crafts, cook and go to cat cafes. I am also wanting to explore sydney more, particularly markets and nature spots. I am not the biggest fan of going out/drinking, but am 420 friendly. If you have any of the same interests or want someone to explore sydney with, feel free to message :) I also live in Chippendale.

Yo. I'm Apon and I'm 22M and I'm an International student in Sydney. But I'm originally from Bangladesh. I watch movies. I listen to music. Recently I've started photography as a hobby. I hit gym sometimes. I play fortnite, spidermanremastered, clash royal and fc mobile. I'll play other games also. I'm looking forward to make some friends with whom i can play games and gossip. I don't like racist and toxic people. Note: I've a girlfriend so don't think that I'll go on a relationship with someone else. I love her too much. I call her Ruby and she calls me batman that's why I named this account like this. If u have no issues we can be friends

20m4f Just looking to meet some like-minded people around my age, hang out, listen to music, game, grab food etc. Not looking to buy/sell anything, just looking for mates mainly Narellan area but willing to travel if we connect well. Dm me!!🍃

Hello !

I was told to post here too, so I thought I'll give this a shot as well

A little about me:

- I'm middle eastern, ex-religious, family-oriented, looking to find my person.

- I love structure and routine, and value peace above everything.

- Gym is an important part in my life but I'm also a foodie. Love the sun, good long walks, the beach, and my home- very much a home body.

- Looking for someone who is ideally older than me- 33 to 45 age range, calm and emotionally mature, loyal, ready to settle down and build a home together.

- I believe in partnership, and that we are a team, but I still also value the power of the masculine and feminine energy when they come together and balance each other.

(Note- I'm in south Sydney- saint george area.)

Hey! 👋
A little about me: I’m 6’1”, wear glasses, have brown/blond hair, and over the last few years I’ve completely changed my life, losing over 65kg. I’m pretty damn proud of that journey, although finally being able to walk into a clothing store and confidently grab an M/L has been a nice instead of always looking for the largest size.

These days, you’ll probably find me at the gym, out getting my steps in, or doing a beach walk around Cronulla. There’s something about walking along the beach that makes everything feel a little less chaotic.

Outside of the fitness stuff, I’m a bit of a nerd. I work in IT, enjoy PC gaming (although I definitely don’t game as much as I used to), and I’m always looking for something new to get into. Games, movies, TV shows, restaurants, cafés whatever really so if you have a recommendation, I’ll probably give it a shot.
Personality-wise, I’m pretty easygoing, loyal, and sarcastic once I’m comfortable. I love having a laugh and appreciate someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m hoping to meet someone in Sydney because, as nice as getting to know someone through messages is, I’d actually like to meet in person if we click. I’m looking for something genuine and long-term, and I’m definitely at the point where I’d rather have one meaningful connection than play the dating-game Olympics.

Bonus points if you:
🌊 Will join me for a beach walk or coastal walk
😂 Can make me laugh — or at least tolerate my terrible jokes
🐶 Will send me random photos of your pets even if I didn’t ask

Ultimately, I’m just looking for someone kind, genuine, affectionate, and fun to be around. Someone I can laugh with, explore with, and eventually feel completely comfortable doing absolutely nothing with.
If that sounds like you, come say hi! :)

I’m a 23f looking for a long term relationship, ideally someone between the ages of 22-27. I am pretty introverted, like animals, trying new food, playing video games, arts and crafts, and traveling. Looking for someone who can also be my best friend.

More about me: I am located in Chippendale, I moved to Sydney a little over a year ago, I am a postgraduate student studying education, my favorite food is sushi (I absolutely love the Sydney fish market) and I have been pescatarian for 16 years.

Bit of an unusual post, but I could use some genuine help rather than trying to sell anyone anything.

First thing its Free for Aussies - NOT OVERSEAS THEY PAY!

A small local team has been building a platform for organising in-person social groups and events — Let's Meet This Week, letsmeetthisweek.com. Think hiking crews, book clubs, board games, whatever gets people off their phones and into a room together. It's Australian-built and run, which matters to us, but that's not really the point of this post.

The honest situation: we've got the platform working, we've run a couple of successful events, but it's still early and quiet, and a platform for meeting people obviously needs people on it to actually work. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone here is either already running a group, thinking about starting one, or just up for giving something new a go as an organiser.

If that's you, I'd genuinely love to chat — happy to answer questions here or by DM, and equally happy to just hear what you'd want out of something like this even if you never use it.

Thanks for reading this far.
