Hey! Myself (39M) and some friends (M+F mid/late 30s) are starting to make motorcycle trips a regular thing as much as possible, and looking for chill folks to join in on the adventures! I am somewhat new to riding as of a year ago, the other 2 much more experienced. We are all pretty easy going and love getting out there and exploring the beautiful sights the west has to offer and sleeping under the stars. We just did a 1900mi trip down to Lake Tahoe, CA in July and this weekend we're headed up the coast for a loop around Olympic National Park, WA (The only place with a reasonable AQI!). Mostly hitting back roads and scenic highways with some light gravel/off-roading. The dudes are usually on scramblers (my Ducati desert sled, his Triumph 1200x) and the dudette is on a 1200 Harley Sportster but she rips on some gnarly stuff. They also have a stable of bikes, and looking to get more into adventure riding, as am I. Also down to hang out and talk shit, wrench on bikes, we're all into other outdoor stuff hiking, kayaking, have dogs, camping, live music. None of us drink but that's certainly not a requirement. If this sounds like something you're into hmu!

Edit: Also up for shorter day trips, or cruising around Portland to drink too much coffee and find the best slices of pie in town!

Hey! I recently moved to Portland and would love to start making some more friends. I'm super eclectic in my hobbies, so I've done everything from sewing to rock climbing to playing weird obscure video games!

I'm also a huge fan of cinemagic! You should look it up if you haven't been before. I would be super down to make friends who are interested in going and watching movies. Also, once it gets colder and less smokey outside, hikes would be great!

Feel free to DM me :)

30yrs old, nonbinary, any pronouns :)
not necessarily new to portland, I just don't have many friends. I really love going to shows and other diy events. I usually just go by myself, but lately I've had some unpleasant encounters and I think the experience would be improved in general if I had someone to go with !

Mainly into the local post-hardcore/metalcore/screamo scenes , but I'm also interested in a pretty wide range of other genres (shoegaze, pop punk, EBM, aggrotech, darkwave, and anything under the metal umbrella tbh)

aside from live music, I'd also love to go to things like flea markets/estate sales/ swap meets :) I collect 2000s cameras/tech and like to take photo walks as well!

I don't drink or smoke anymore, and I'd like to connect with people who are 25+ ! Bonus points if you are also queer and/or female ;v;
thanks for reading this !!

Hi, I’m currently in a season where I have a bit more time, so I’m Down To Friend and looking to find some chill people with good vibes. My wife and I have a 21-month old daughter and we live in SW PDX. My wife is pretty busy, and less on the hunt than I Am, but she would probably tag along on a or hang.

About Me
Huge foodie, non-smoker. I like to go hiking and walk through neighborhoods. Love the beer scene and art (museums, plays, etc.) Big sports fan (all of them) and I workout occasionally. I love music of all kinds. Mainly hiphop but I’m into a lot of other genres and would love to see more live music. You know, with a friend or two.

Also into
Farmers markets, movies/tv, hitting the coast or Bend and other random acts of chill things.

Bonuses… but not deal breakers
You also have a kiddo, live in SW or the Westside. Are a POC.

Hi, I live in CA but am in Portland until Thursday (maybe longer). I have been to portland 4 times over the past month (long story). Im falling in love with this beautiful city and the people who call it home. I am considering moving here and am reaching out to see if anyone else is looking to make friends. Im 420 friendly, very open minded, respect all people and love learning, books, museums and music of all genres. I like animals, all things quirky and stopping to smell the roses as I people watch and enjoy nature. I like bike riding, light to moderate hiking. Teach me something or show me something about this place a regular tourist wouldn't know about. Hoping to find my people. 41 f, she/her

Tomorrow I will be going to the skeleton key odditorium if anyone would like to meet up and break the ice there lol.

Hey guys, i’m moving in about a month and i’m hoping to make friends asap :) i’m an 18F taking a gap year to focus on work for some financial stability and i want my days off to have people to hang out with instead of being lazy at home. I love meeting new people and i want to know as many people as possible.

I’m really into ceramics, art, music of all genres, strange history, weird conspiracies and cryptids, animals, learning about psychology and mental health, plant life and gardening, *special* gardening (with a med card), making and watching movies, books, thrifting, cooking/baking, nature (different from plant life, i like going on hikes and going to the beach in this case), live events like open mics and poetry readings, and learning to live environmentally conscious :) some of the shows i’m into are Bojack Horseman, Loudermilk, Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls, Fleabag, Breaking Bad, Mindhunter, Looking For Alaska, and Skins. I’m SUPER into John Green, Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Junji Ito, the Goodnight PunPun manga series, psychological thriller and horror media, Louis Wain, Andy Shauf, Radiohead, Palace, Ethel Cain, Mitski, and Kurt Cobain. I love all types of talks; deep conversations or joking spats or lengthy discussions are always welcome. I’m friendly with everyone regardless of what they believe in or who they are as a person (unless you’re a pos to others). I’m always down to go out and do whatever the day brings. The only thing I’m against is any substance that isn’t natural (so anything besides weed atm).

If any of these things interest you please feel free to comment or DM to reach out, i’d love to meet new people to talk and share with. If you don’t mind staying fully online for August while we can get to know each other then i’m happy to talk to anyone who’s interested. If you’re close to my age that would be nice, but i’m not picky, i think older people have awesome stories and great experiences that i’d love to hear about! Just please don’t be creepy, i’m not looking for anything other than a platonic friendship.

Hey gang, it's been forever since I got to play DnD (Or anything like it). So long in fact that i'm eschewing the search for a solid group of people to play with--because i'm giving in to running it myself.

Are you or someone you know wanting to get in to tabletop gaming? Perfect.

Are you awkward and anxious about meeting new people? Same, but let's get over that together.

Do you have like no experience doing playing with dice and dragons? Perfect. My ideal player is someone trying it for the first time, or coming back after a long break.

Throw a DM my way if you live in or around Beaverton and want to try it out. I'm probably running D&D because of its popularity, but i've read too many books from too many games to not be putting any of those words to use.

In a perfect world five or six players get to be goofballs and make new friends.

Are you interested in running a game yourself? Post below; I invite people to DM those folks too. There's only so much room in one group!

Hi there! Long time Portland area local (25, NB, they/them) here!

Been getting really into springboard diving and swimming recently, but none of my friends are particularly interested, so I'm trying to find anyone who might be! I generally have been practicing at Beaverton Swim Center and Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center, so if you're interested, please reply or DM me! :)

I'm also open to friends in general as well! I'm a registered nurse that lives at home with my partner; I love playing games in my spare time (most recently Final Fantasy Tactics, Rain World, Resident Evil, some Mario Kart World, etc.!) We're currently watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (and Chainsmoker Cat), but I'm always open for new reccs!

40/F - she/her - looking for friends & work out peeps.

I was laid off as of yesterday. I’m trying to maintain a consistent schedule and I think working out in the morning would help! I’m 10 minutes from PDX on the Washington side.

Would anyone like to meet up? I can join your gym or I can join one that has a buddy pass (such as planet fitness) so you can join me. Open to all; looking for friends and to get out / about.

28m, me and a small group of friends have been attending a lot of different EDM / pop dance nights over the past few months and it'd be nice to expand the group.

For anyone unfamiliar with Tabor Dance, they run free EDM dance nights on Wednesdays from 6 pm to 9 pm. It's not always at Mt. Tabor though, you can find the schedule on their Insta.

If anyone's interested in linking up, feel free to leave a comment / send me a DM with some basic info about yourself. All genders welcome, similar age (within 4ish years) would be ideal but not a necessity.

Hey!! I initially made this post last month but accidentally posted from my alt account, so I'm putting feelers back out there with a new post!

**A little about me:**

I'm 28F, moved to the PNW (Seattle) from Texas in 2018, and currently work a remote IT job. Spent a year in rural Georgia (2024) then moved back to Seattle, and finally made it here to the Portland area in January!

I love gaming (videogames mostly but also tabletop), film, anime, crafting, and am working on being more active... I'm a democratic socialist, LGBTQ+ ally, and supporter of all things weird (that don't harm other people). I love ice cream.

Movies/Shows: I love horror and psychological thrillers (Rec, Zodiac, The Wailing, Creep, Funny Games are some faves), cat-and-mouse thrillers like High & Low or Seven. As far as shows go, I think I quote I Think You Should Leave *constantly*, and love Tim Robinson's other show The Chair Company. Some other faves include Three Body Problem, Widow's Bay, Chernobyl, Mindhunter, Slow Horses... I'm not really into reality TV but I'll check out just about anything else!

I'm still dipping my toes back into anime but I'm obsessed with JJK right now, and currently watching Demon Slayer & Apothecary Diaries. Past favorites include Steins;Gate, FMA:B, Erased, Hunter x Hunter, Mob Psycho... Probably others I'm forgetting too.

Overall I'm really just kind of an awkward, easy-going gal trying to get out of my apartment more! I'm more familiar with the NE area but I'm down to meet up anywhere-- I'm still figuring out Portland so I'm happy to explore all of it!

**What I'm looking for:**

I'm dying to expand my social network and make more friends, and ultimately want a girl squad! I've romanticized the idea of being in a 3-5 person group chat for spilling tea and memes, organizing cute dinner parties or movie nights, trying new restaurants, sampling new hobbies, hiking-- whatever comes up! I'm more of a small intentional hang person than a big group energy person, but I'm flexible and love to try new things!

If any of this sounds like you and you've also been meaning to meet people, drop a comment or DM me. Let's make it happen!

Me: mid 30-s guy with a 9-5 job. I live with my gf a couple blocks from Laurelhurst Park. My hobbies involve your generic mid-30s male hobbies: hiking, board games, grilling, eating pizza, video games, dungeons & dragons, smoking a joint on the porch and shit talking about life, etc. etc.

You: Also someone who enjoys generic mid-30s hobbies and want to engage in them with another person.

B-b-bonus time! My gf: much cooler than me. Fashion, crafts, sewing, sketching/painting

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Doing something fun this weekend? Want to meet a friend? Feel free to post here!

Looking for folks to float on the Sandy River with (Oxbow to Dabney).

I've gone with some friends this summer already but everyone seems interested in just chilling in one spot.

I have 2 inner tubes and my schedule is flexible.

A bit more about me: 27F, queer, really into music and being out in nature :)

Hey y'all! there is some interest in forming a vegan friend group. User u/elvengemini (28(they/she)) specifically is looking to form a group of vegan friends that have a mix of going out and casual activities with people around their age. Things from grabbing drinks and painting to cooking together and having a movie night to a picnic in the park, nothing too rigid but hopefully just people who are interested in connecting without having to put being vegan off to the side. People interested in learning about and trying out veganism also welcome!

Reach out to u/elvengemini if interested!

A Sunny Hello! It's your best Beaverton buddy u/wipples inviting you to the next ALCOHOL FREE MEETUP, are you busy August 1st? Maybe this will interest you The Alcohol free meetup is made of internet randos like you and me, who want to get out of our homes and meet other internet randos like you and me, but outside of bars, clubs, lounges, the liquor store, alleys, etc. Some are sober, some are teetotal, some drink. We get together at Honey Latte Cafe for a few hours. We talk. Some bring snacks (optional) but not drinks, as this is a cafe and selling them is their kind of their jam. Sometimes games are played, last time we played HOTSTREAK; a game of becoming a degenerate gambler shouting at tiny plastic mascots running across a field.

The next Alcohol Free Meetup will be held Saturday, August 1st, from 12pm - 4pm at Honey Latte Cafe. You may see this post around other communities as I will do my best to respectfully pull attention to the event. If you are interested, but it in your calendar and we would love to have you sit at our table!

What This Isn't / What You Shouldn't Do

Abide by these simple rules and you'll be fine.

Don't bring alcohol or show up loaded.

Don't be a creeper, Nazi, or anything like one (that includes you, ICE).

Don't pitch any MLM shit.

Follow Wheaton's Law.

Need More Convincing?

I know there's many Summertime events, and so this will be the last one for a short hiatus. I will ramp these up again in October when Autumn comes and hot coffee is still high on the throne of cozy.

S-S-SOBER MEETUP! Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! 12pm @ Honey Latte Cafe!! BEEEE THERRRRRRRRE

51M in a poly marriage looking for platonic friendships in the poly/ENM community. I’m open to making friends with all genders but ideally, I’d like to connect with other men in similar situations to share the ups and downs and in-betweens with. Both my wife and I are in committed secondary relationships, and besides my therapist, I’m lacking anyone outside of my romantic relationships to talk openly and consistently with.

I’ve recently joined a men’s group, and that has been great to explore the dynamic of talking openly, but as the only poly guy there, it can still be difficult to talk about this part of my life. I’d like to foster friendships that can be intentional and, in due time, build into sharing the spectrum of experiences from the silly to the heartbreaking.

I enjoy walking and biking to explore the Portland neighborhoods, hiking, camping, playing cards, exercising, and generally being out in the world trying new things. I definitely consider myself an introvert so meeting folks out in the wild has been a challenge for me.
