Reddit Toronto Monthly Meetup: Sat. Nov. 7 @ Front & Church, 7:00 p.m. start

8 Upvotes

Hey all, hope you've had a good week so far! This is going up earlier because it's my birth month haha.

Here are the details:

  • The monthly Reddit meetup is a no-cost event open to all genders. No RSVP is required. It is hosted by u/nervousTO, a woman in their early 30s, with support from a group of regular attendees. It's been running since August 2022 and has been described as wholesome.
  • Start time: 7:00 p.m. - show up whenever is convenient for you
  • End time: when the last person leaves or the place closes @ 2:00 a.m.
  • Location: Duke's Refresher St. Lawrence, 73 Front Street East
  • Where do I go: upstairs, using the stairs directly in front of you when you walk in. There should also be a chalkboard sign saying Reddit Meetup. Ignore the message if it says closed, I have a reservation, so it's never closed to our group.
  • Perks: We have the upstairs mostly to ourselves, although sometimes we share with another group, who will be closer to the bar. There's also a pool table, and games on the main floor (ping pong, basketball, etc.)

Note that no RSVP is required, but that by showing up, you commit to ordering something to support the venue, even if it's just a coke.

Our Q&A is here - I haven't included it with the post as it's quite detailed!

Send me a message or comment here if you have any questions or concerns about anything related to this meetup/questions that aren't answered in the Q&A.

Update to Subreddit Rules / Clarity Around Filters

21 Upvotes

We've added a few new rules to the subreddit, thought I would go over them:

  1. No advertisements (within reason): If you advertise a dental cleaning or paid professional services, your post will be removed or not approved. Some exceptions may apply: if you are offering to take photos for free/fun, if you are giving away a ticket to meet a friend, etc. We're still working on this.

  2. No questions, unless they are related to making friends or meeting up with fellow Redditors: Feel free to ask about Bumble BFF or TimeLeft or share a service that helps with making friends. General questions about events will be removed and redirected to r/AskTO or r/TorontoEvents, depending on the question's content.

  3. No social media links: For your safety, we remove comments and posts sharing social media links (Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Discord, etc). Public links to social media can result in unwanted messages and/or spam. This also means you cannot post information about another Redditor. It's against Reddit's rules to doxx. If you do post/share this content, you will receive a temporary ban.

  4. Don't misrepresent yourself: If you post with different ages/genders/ethnicities, your post will be removed. First offence is a temporary ban, second offence is a permanent ban.

  5. Don't message the OP if you don't meet post requirements: This is a brand new rule. We want your post requirements to be respected. If a man is looking for only male friends, and you're a woman, don't message them. If a woman is only looking for female friends, and you're a man, don't message her. If the poster is looking for someone within a certain age range, and you're much older, don't message them.

  6. No low effort posts: This is one we're still deciding how to enact. We don't want to discourage posters, but we also want posts to clearly identify you and what you're looking for.

Additionally, there are several filters set up in this sub:

1) We auto-remove posts and comments with certain words. All removed posts and comments are reviewed, and if appropriate, we approve them.

2) Most of the time, new accounts and/or accounts with low karma have their posts/comments trapped by Reddit's filter. We review these removals and approve them (so long as they meet subreddit rules).

3) Reporting: 3 reports of a comment or post result in an automatic removal. Make sure to report anything against the subreddit rules.

Looking to make some genuine girlfriends in Toronto 💕

12 Upvotes

Hi ladies!

I’m in my early 40s, living in Toronto, and would love to meet some new girlfriends to hang out with!

I enjoy exploring cafés and restaurants, going for walks, working out, discovering new places around the city, and having good conversations.

I’d love to connect with women who enjoy making plans, spending quality time together, and hopefully building genuine, lasting friendships along the way.

If this sounds like you, feel free to comment or send me a DM! Would love to organize a coffee or brunch sometime. 💕

25F | Downtown Toronto | Looking to make some genuine friends

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m 25F, living in downtown Toronto, and looking to make some genuine friends around the city.

I’m pretty easygoing and enjoy simple plans maybe evening coffee, walks, good conversations, chilling somewhere, or occasionally checking out a nice bar. Nothing too fancy or expensive, honestly.

I’m also getting into football and would love to learn more about Barça and Liverpool.

Not looking for dating, hookups, or anything romantic.

Just hoping to meet some good people to hang out with, talk about life, work, random things, and hopefully build some lasting friendships.

Open to making friends regardless of gender. Would be nice to start with a coffee or a casual group hangout sometime! :)

Hiiiii!!! I love thrifting, art, wine, dancing, good eats, and I HATE small talk! I work in marketing and recently graduated from uni but since graduating it’s been hard to feel connected when everyone moves away!!! I am a social butterfly and love having people around me who are full of energy and joy. If dancing, trying cool new restaurants, having a glass of wine (or few), being creative or getting active sound like a fun time, I would love to connect and build a cute girl gang! Message me!! Maybe we can even make a gc 🌟🌟🌟😁😁😁

21f looking for female friends within GTA

5 Upvotes

Hello 😸

I am 21f and currently in university. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, music, food, and all the basic things. You know that feeling when someone asks you about your interests but nothing comes to mind despite having lots of interests? Yeah, lol

I am bi, and I'd like to meet more queer people of colour (age 21-24) like me and preferably women :)

There's actually a queer event I'd like to attend this Saturday in Toronto it's more of a club event which is foreign to me, but I'd really like to put myself out there in that way.

If you're interested please dm me! Insta for messaging is preferred so you can tell me about yourself and also dm your @!

Have a good one <3

Meet new people in Toronto without the awkward networking

3 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a lot of people here are new to Toronto, working remotely, trying to meet people outside of work, or just looking for more casual ways to get out.

I’ve been hosting these Anti-Networking socials because, honestly, fuck networking events.

I just wanted to create something simpler and make Toronto feel a little less anonymous.

Just a casual way to meet new people, have some interesting conversations, and maybe find your circle in the city. I’ve met some genuinely amazing people through these socials myself.

Our next social is happening on Thursday, October 22, at Watson’s, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.

If you're curious about the age range, it's usually from 20-35, but of course everyone is welcome.

Halloween themed El Clasico watch party?

8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 29F crafty girl who recently got into football via WC26. None of my friends are into football and I wanted to merge the halloween season with my newfound love of the sport.

Anyone want to dress up and head to a pub downtown to watch the Barca v RMA game next Sunday? I can build us a group chat.

A bit about me: I’m fairly nerdy and creative. Love going to concerts, reading, art, and community building. Trying to make football fan culture as fun as possible in a friendly nerd-adjacent way!

Weekly hump day activity based get together for my other 30s corporate people?

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I’m 34 M in a happy relationship and am realising my social circle is narrowing to my partner and my work colleagues. I would like to start a weekly get together where we can meet after work and build connections with other corporate folks who might be in a similar spot through the winter.

Im into Tennis, snowboarding, hiking and open to other people’s interests too especially stuff we can do in winters (sauna anyone?). I am ambitious, social and tend to get along with others with a similar age group and vibe. I would specifically like to avoid meetups where we just sit and talk everytime.

Open to anyone in their 30s, any gender. Anyone else like me wanna get out of the commute, work, sleep, repeat schedule? 😅 DM or comment if this interests you cheers!

Hey, I have an extra ticket to go to the new Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos Girl) documentary from Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder (it’s not a comedy).

It’s got insane reviews and it’s sold out and I’m really excited. My friend can’t come, but let me know if you wanna go instead. Just buy me the popcorn!

If you know about her and Theranos, this seems like a fun ride

Looking for friends!

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 23M and would love to make some friends. Life's been pretty robotic lately, but I swear I'm more fun than what corporate life made me out to be. Currently on unpaid vacation for the foreseeable future, so I have the time & energy to travel and do fun stuff.

I'm big on concerts, especially rock, metal, edm and any live music in general. Down to attend any stand-up comedy or try a new sport (never played pickleball). Love thrillers like Vanilla Sky, Nightcrawler and anything horror. Would be down to get stoned and watch stuff or listen to true crime podcasts. I read philosophy/self help books in my free time. Also love table tennis (would love to have someone to play with).

We can drive around Ontario or visit vancouver/montreal before the weather starts getting depressing again. I'm not the best at talking but I think I'm a fun, caring person.

Sofar Sounds (Live Music on Roger Rd)

2 Upvotes

29F
I’m attending the Sofar Sounds event tonight at 7:30pm, and am driving there from around the Roger’s Center. Was curious if anyone else here is attending and wants to say hi at the event👋

For those who have already attended these events, do they have mats on the ground & you can just bring a soft cushion to sit on?

I know they don’t provide food, so I might check for snack places nearby. I’m really excited about today’s venue 🥰

I can share my thoughts about the event, afterwards, in the comments if you’re curious☺️ Looking forward to meeting cool folks & potential friends to go together for the next one?

A bit more about me cause why not:
- love exploring neighborhood events (workshops - fencing anyone?, expos, art exhibits, walking tours, DJ nights, festivals)
- start collecting vinyls to bring to open-vinyl nights at listening bars (aka I’m in the market for a vinyl player haha)
- I’ve played quite a few video games at friends’ houses but don’t own a console/ PC myself; still eager to learn! Blue Prince, BotW, REPO, CoD
- love boardgames! Want to also learn how to play DnD & MTG
- really getting into pottery-throwing now; I have 100 hobbies (someone please teach me how to crochet 🙏)
- got the audiobook for Project Hail Mary & Dungeon Crawler Carl, and reading Hyperion & Trigger Warning (Short Fictions)
- love coffee and tea equally (cappuccino @ Library Coffee & Hojicha @ Icha)
- loveeeee spicy food and I don’t smoke/vape

25M Looking to Make New Friends

Hi everyone! I’m a 25-year-old gay Filipino currently in my final semester of undergrad. I’m hoping to expand my social circle and meet new friends, especially others in the gay community who I can relate to, since I don’t have many gay friends at the moment.

A little about me: I enjoy working out, café hopping, travelling, photography (just as a hobby!), and visiting museums from time to time. I’m pretty chill and laid-back, but I also love exploring new spots around the city and trying new things.

I’d love to meet like-minded people, make genuine connections, and hopefully find some new friends to hang out with. Feel free to send me a message if we have some common interests. Looking forward to connecting with you!

40M come to TO regularly for business but after work is pretty lame and boring. I am staying downtown and other than people watching I would love to meet up with someone to hang out with. I am into sports, gaming, politics, science lol all the fun things 🤣 but open to ideas!

Although I am downtown near Eaton Centre I am open to going to different areas of the city and trying things outside my comfort zone
