Attempting To Grow My Social/Support Network.

13 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm a female, between 55 - 65 years of age, and living close to Vancouver, Canada. My main chronic health issues are depression and anxiety.

I wanted to put more effort into finding a female friend from Reddit. In the past I have tried other websites.

I tend to have low energy.

I want to set small intentions with someone, so I don't feel overwhelmed by the process of us getting to know each other and socializing.

I'm tired of not being able to express my real self to the people I interact with offline.

If you are interested, say hi here. I'm not open to DM's for now.

Thanks for reading.

WANTED: WOMEN | 27+ | Metro Vancouver

8 Upvotes

Hi ladies! Are you a woman (27+ years of age) in Metro Vancouver and would like to chat, make friends, and support each other? We’d love to capture welcome you to join us! We are an exclusive online Discord community comprised of local women and we also hangout irl when our schedules align. We are a sweet bunch and once you get to know us, we are mildly to mid-unhinged. We hope that it showcases our light-hearted humour, creativity, and level of unhingedness!

Here are some answers to potential questions:

What is the group like?

We are a group of women mostly between 27 and 33 years old, although the next biggest group of us are between 34 and 40. Our active members are mostly in the Vancouver area, including North Van, Kitsilano, East Van, Burnaby, and Richmond (shoutout to our craziest member who makes the trek from Maple Ridge to hang out with us!)

We can go off the rails a bit in harmless fun and banter. Therefore we eagerly welcome sassy, unfiltered, unhinged kin alike. However we are also friendly and supportive of one another, although some light hearted competition is encouraged when the occasion calls (such as in online Discord games). If you are a woman who is looking to make new connections with other women we'd love to hear from you and add some new personalities to our warm little huddle against the Vancouver freeze. We are extra interested in scientists, doctors, financial advisors, and interior decorators as we are underrepresented in these professions. We are also looking for film investors 😄

Here are some actual quotes from the group:

  • This discord helps build a base of rapport and it’s so much easier when we do meet
  • I only went to maybe 3 [events in other reddit groups] before abandoning. it's so much cozier in here!
  • This server has been really nice and it’s been great to meet some of you in person! I didn’t really have a concept of what it meant to be in a discord server but now that I’m used to it I look forward to participating
  • You guys are also really funny, you make me laugh a lot
  • I’m glad to be here with all of you. It is hard to make friends.
  • I already love the vibe of this discord server so much
  • It’s a really great space the way you designed it and the members are all so lovely and interesting. I really appreciate the space you have created for us just the way it is
  • hiiii this is the cutest discord

Why Discord? I've never used it!

Discord is a social platform that lets us create multiple chat channels for different topics, which means different concurrent conversations can happen. Discord also gives us an easy way to discuss, plan, and organize events! This is especially helpful because we are a dynamic group of women with varying interests, hobbies, and backgrounds, so we like to yap on an array of different topics. We also like to play online games together (Wordle, online puzzles, and Magic Gardens so far), host book clubs, give tarot readings, and get together for in-person events.

Several members had never used Discord before and they enjoy learning to use it. Here are some actual quotes:

  • I like discord because I get stressed out about interrupting people in big groups. I still enjoy meetups but I'm more comfortable talking here
  • This is my first time using discord, so many neat features
  • Discord can do so many things I never even imagined

Why only for Metro Van women 27+?

The group is specifically for women in their late 20s and up because we wanted a space where people in a similar stage of life can relate to each other more easily, such as career, relationships, and adulting.

I like the vibes and I would like to join! What should I do?

If you identify as a women, are 27+ years of age, and live in Metro Vancouver, and would like to join us our crazy cult, please send me a quick intro about yourself and I'll send an invite your way. Please be patient as I go through the messages.

PS: If you are a previous or current inactive member, we have missed you and you are always welcome back!

Vancouver Riley Park Ladies Social Group - 33F

10 Upvotes

I’m looking to create a group chat of ladies in their 20s/30s around Riley Park / Little Mountain / Main Street who would be interested in a casual local social group.

Thinking things like coffee, brunch, drinks, walks around the neighbourhood, trying local restaurants, park days, markets, or just having people nearby to message when you feel like doing something without having to plan weeks in advance and bonus for ride sharing to downtown events.

I’d love for it to be a relaxed way to meet other women who actually live close by and hopefully build some genuine local friendships.

I’ll create a WhatsApp group for anyone interested so we can chat, suggest plans and organize casual meetups nearby.

If you’re in the area and this sounds like your kind of thing, comment or send me a message 😊

This is the group link:

Still looking 32m looking for Japanese friends!

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently in a journey of self learning Japanese and it's been fun! But I've been on quite the hiatus since it's hard to find the proper motivation. Was thinking it would be nice to meet someone to find a way to practice it more !

Maybe either by hanging out and doing something fun like going to an arcade or a shooting range or an escape room or other activities of the sort!. I'm not the athletic kind not the party kind and tend to stay home and play games and watch anime.

If you're looking for a friend to keep accountability with or even a language exchange send me a message and we can see if we vibe. My level is around low N4 but I have way too much scattered knowledge to really put things together well enough . I'm looking forward to your message !

Still looking Expanding Rave Family Friendgroup

5 Upvotes

Trying this again because it worked out well last time! As the rave dad and elected extrovert, I’m on a quest to adopt new degen additions to our crew! Whether you’re a veteran or a willing soul open to adopting the religion of EDM music, we’d love to run it back with you! Would love to see anyone going to Sullivan King this Sat night or the many raves happening in November. Thanks reading this far and I’m excited to expand our family and have so much fun this fall/winter! Tell us a bit about us below!

- Working professionals between 24-33 avg but we have some early 20s too! As long as the vibes are good and young?
- Mostly Asians and 50/50 lady to men ratio
- We’re a genuine friend group beyond just raving, we hang out every other day
- Hella fun and degenerate (our humour is kinda messed so we’re just looking for ppl who share the same vibe. This is the only hard ask)
- Love to eat out, play sports (badminton, hiking), photoshoots, FPS games and League.

There’s no set requirement or need to fit the list above! If you wanna let loose and have fun this fall, come join us! We take care of each other like a family and will also be down to teach and share our love of raving with first timers!

Long-Term Friendship Group Chat for People in their 30s

27 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We all know Vancouver is infamous as a lonely city, and if you’re lucky enough to make friends, a bunch of them then end up leaving the city :’(. I am looking to make a WhatsApp group for about 20-40 people in their 30s to hopefully create long-term friendships (emphasis on long-term!). I’m hoping that this chat will have meetup events with an array of activities from karaoke, concerts, parties, brewery crawls, beach hangs, etc.

I have been in several groups but I have noticed that a lot of them die off quickly and/or it is hard to actually build friendships in those groups.

I want to try something different by having more filters to see if this group will have a better chance of success. This chat will be for people:

1)      who live in Vancouver only (not metro Vancouver)

2)      in their 30s

3)      who are keen on planning and making events

4)      to stay in Vancouver for the foreseeable future

*Bonus* preferably you have a great sense of humour! (Extra bonus points if you have a dry sense of humour)

For 3) I understand that not everyone is a planner or wants to make events, but I do not want this group to rely on just a couple of people always continually being the event organizers. I want everyone to contribute and suggest fun ideas for hangouts.

If you’re sad that you don’t meet these requirements, feel free to start your own group!

If you’re interested please message me with:

1)      Your name and the first letter of your last name

2)      Where you are originally from (I’ve been in a group where the majority of people were from Ontario – so I’d like to ensure some diversity!)

3) Where you live in Vancouver

3)      What events you’d like to plan in the chat

4)      A fun fact about yourself or a fun fact in general (vibe check)

As a filter, I will not respond to you if you do not answer all of these.

Let's see how this goes! Thanks!

Vancouver 24 M looking for a gym buddy

6 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to go to the gym for years but have always been too scared. So I thought if I’m gonna make a fool out of myself why not make a fool out of myself with someone else lol (bonus points if you’re gay) My level is at a 0 I have never stepped foot in a gym before and I tried doing a push up last week and plummeted right onto the floor. I do love to go on walks though. I did the Grouse Grind for the first time this year and it was so much fun! So if you’re interested in that too I would love to go again.

38m - Group to head out for halloween? Foundations?

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm 38m, and have lived in Vancouver for four years. I am trying to build up my social circle. I'm realizing I don't have much going on for Halloween.

I know it's expensive as it's late, but I would love to find a group for Foundations with Chris Lake this year, and maybe an after-party. Let me know if interested. We can head to other gigs after.

Also a little about me. I am a big outdoor person. I have a seasons pass at Whistler (fingers cross the snow won't be as horrible as predicted). I enjoy logic puzzles, and board games, road trips, and just finding the hole-in-the-wall pubs.

Thanks!

33f looking to make new friends

9 Upvotes

Hello, I am a 33-year-old female. I live out near Lougheed. My current friends are married and don't have time to hang out. I am in a relationship, but he is currently injured and can't do much. I can only offer platonic friendship. I am looking for a walking/hiking buddy. A little more about me. I enjoy reading (trying to write my own story, but I suck at it). I have my own meetup group called Vancouver Outdoor waking/hiking Adventures. But honestly, I am the only one who hosts events, and I find it challenging to host in the winter because of the rain. So I retire for the winter. I do walk on my own. Would anyone like to meet? I am free on the weekends.

East Vancouver Gaming Community

8 Upvotes

Recently setup a discord server with the intent to help gamers in East Van (and nearby areas) to link up and find people to game with. Various sections for all types of gaming interests (TTRPG, Cards, board games, video games) and if you want a channel added for finding people interested in a specific game we can add them. Also have a section for merchants (game stores, clubs etc) in the area if they want their own subchannels to post about events and sales at their locations. it would be nice to find people to play with nearby without having to travel all over the city. https://discord.gg/XvDUubd94p
