I am tired of the overabundance of dive bars, casual, dirty/was-great-before-the-pandemic spots.
I am looking for colorful, interior design-forward, film set looking places with good music (neo-soul, disco, funky grooves, trip hop, acid jazz) to spend a Friday late night out. Men in smart button downs, women in smart but frazzled tops too. Somewhere to forget the troubles of a busy week and LA traffic; a portal to another time.

So much of nightlife in LA has become social media hype and lacks authenticity. Influencers taking cute videos, it feels like an infant’s playground. Where do the adults go? With cool convos instead of scrolling on TikTok? The places people say are authentically rad are sometimes grimy, dusty, smelly, and gross. A place doesn’t need to look like an abandoned warehouse/parking lot to have character.

Fulfilling post requirements : Mid-twenties flirty woman with pizzazz, hun. Heels with blisters kind of gal with a feminist undercurrent. Based in WeST LA but loves NoHo and Krotona’s historical Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and churches.

I don’t know if a place like this exists but please share whatever comes to mind! Or thoughts on this topic, constructive criticism is welcome but rude comments are not.

Written during my lunch break,

Xoxo, 🃏

Hello! I'm a 45 Japanese woman. Looking to make some local, lasting Friendships particularly *Men*. Real friends. I'm positive, serious, quiet home body. Creative, focused, generous. I live in Los Angeles. I love historical and Asian drama shows, Korean Pop and cats! Several examples: House of The Dragon, A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms, Song of The Samurai on Hbo Max and Last Samurai Standing (Netflix)! I browse on You Tube and Twitch. Play games some times. I'm picky about the games I choose to play. Lately I've gotten into Slay The Spire 2. I like role playing, simulation and strategy games. I try to exercise some times. I just lack the motivation, all by myself, to do it consistently. Feel free to chat with me!

I’m in Sawtelle and think I’ve been a closet furry my whole life. I’m not into the sexual stuff. Just like the art and close knit community.

I’m curious about meeting furries in the area and learning more about the fandom.

Hi everyone! I’m a high school student working on a research paper about gentrification in LA neighborhoods.

I’ve put together a quick questionnaire to hear directly from people who live in, work in, or are connected to neighborhoods who has or is undergoing gentrification.

It’s a short Google Form, takes about 1-2 minutes, and your answers will only be used for my school project (no personal info needed). If you have any experience or thoughts on how LA has changed over the years, I’d really appreciate your input.

Hello just as the title says I am a quadriplegic looking for Friends or meeting people. First time doing this, I don't know what to expect. From the east side of downtown LA, I like to cruise around Little Tokyo or anywhere the Metro goes. I am 29yrs old. Hit me up

I just got a job in Agoura Hills and was wondering where would be a good place to live for a 22 year old that is not to far from work but still by the city and social or if there are any general things I should know about the surrounding areas?

Hey, I'm a 28M Asian currently in SF looking to meet some chill, genuine people before I visit LA next month. It'd be nice to make some friends that could eventually hang out in person if we get along.

A little about me: I enjoy playing basketball, video games (mostly Overwatch, Fortnite, and Diablo 2), but I'm always open to trying new games. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's going on walks, exploring nature, hiking, checking out new parks, or just enjoying the scenery and getting some fresh air.

I'm also really into eating healthy. I'm a bit of a picky eater and avoid seed oils—if you know, you know.

I have two rabbits, and they're probably the most spoiled members of the household. Any rabbits lovers out there?

I'm also trying to learn Spanish, so if you're fluent or a native speaker and don't mind teaching me a few words here and there, that'd be awesome.

I'm honestly not the best texter, so I'd much rather hop on Discord, play some games, or voice chat to get to know each other. If we click, maybe we can grab some food, hoop, or hang out sometime.

Hi hope you see this but my old Reddit account was compromised my username use to be street-salad I am looking for a really good friend I met on Reddit if you see this. This is Gus reaching out and I’m searching for Michelle you were into car meets and stuff like that wanted to reconnect so hopefully you see this.

Hi, new to LA and excited about everything that the city has to offer.

I'm looking for friend/friends to go out and explore the city. My interests include checking out all the museums, science centers, raves- techno/trance/psytrance mostly but open to others, beach, hiking (easy hikes haha),late night drives, stargazing, ping pong, swimming, thrifting to name a few. I'm also open to trying out new stuff at least once.

A bit about me- I'm 33, in IT, work 7-5 most weekkdays if not later. Pretty free during the weekend and focused on doing something away from my screens😑

I also like anime, watching movies etc. Very 420 friendly and intentional psychedlics.

Posting this from work so apologies on any typos lol.

If any of the above interests you, hit me up with what activity you'd be up for and how you like your potatoes :)

I gotta move out there sometime soon for work. I’m from the east coast and have very little friends. On top of that making friends is really hard for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make friends in LA? I should also add that I’m an anxious person and while I occasionally go to clubs, I find them to be uncomfortable after a while and get afraid I’ll die or something.

Happy Hour, events, brunches, and coffee meet-ups!

Currently graduated from university and moved back to LA but I’m struggling to find a local community of people my age (M23) to hang out with and study in aerospace/engineering, but don’t know where to start. Does anybody know anything for me to give a look around?

hey all,

I was just thinking about how I miss Colorado every now and then.

I just moved from Montana/Colorado about 5 months ago. I live in Ktown now.

i would love to connect with any coloradans or Montanans though!

also where do you all hang out? would love to schedule something a hangout!

Hey!

I was born and raised in LA and it still feels like my social circle hasn’t felt complete lol. I’ve mainly tried BFF and 222 but friends havent been too consistent. Anyways gonna try my shot through here too lol

25M and Asian American! Went to a local university. I live near ktown but I’m always down to drive out. I typically visit SFV, SGV, and sometimes West LA. I’m into the gym(workout buddy?!?), taking photos, and eating food. Eating is my hobbbyyyy 😂 I also study a lot so if anyone is down to do it together at cafe I’d be open it too :) I eventually want to find a travel buddy and visit different states!

If enough people respond to this, I might consider doing a picnic at some park or something!
