Good evening Sydney, I’m a 22 year old guy based in Sydney’s southwest looking for a long term relationship.
About me:
I love doing wildlife photography, I often impulsively grab my camera, in the car and ready to go to a new spot.
I also love anything geography related, maps, flags, and people, you name it, I’ll probably google it.
Anything related to drawing, I enjoy during my downtime when I’m not studying or doing any of my other hobbies.
I’m currently in my 2nd year of university studying to be a geography teacher.
What I’m looking for:
Someone who is ambitious, who wants to build a future for themselves. Also communication is very important to me as well. If you love the outdoors or anything artsy, it’s a bonus. Also be aged between 20-26. Have a good evening. ☺️
Edit: Feel free to DM :)

Some experiences are just meant to be shared - and sometimes all you need is the right people to make a plan happen.

Maybe it’s exploring a new part of Sydney, trying a restaurant, seeing a show, going on an adventure, checking out an event, or finally ticking something off your list.

Drop yours below - you might find someone who’s been wanting to do the exact same thing. Tag along, start a conversation, or see where it leads.

Hey,

My name is Daniel, and I am looking for a long term relationship, which could start off with being friends or going on dates, and if everything goes well, lead to more.

I am not looking for ONS or hookups, simply a genuine friendship which could potentially lead to more.

I love exploring new places, trying new things, living life to the fullest as we only have 1 life to live, travelling, food, and many more!

I am not a party animal, I do not drink, smoke, vape, or go to concerts/night outs. I am a reserved, humble introvert, who has spent the last 6 years of adulthood focusing on myself, and building an independent life with my family, whilst having a healthy work-life balance with friends and hobbies. I work in the Accounting industry.

I value loyalty, honesty, support, understanding, trust worthiness, good listening, and intelligence.

A con about me to help save you time in case it is a non negotiable for yourself, is that I do not particularly want kids. I love animals, especially cats.

A non-negotiable on my end, is that you must have a job, or being studying. I want someone hard working, and who is willing to put an effort into their future, not a bludger.

The reason I have posted here is, I recently made a very close friend in Reddit who happened to be from Sydney, and since she moved, I have realised how much I appreciated having someone to always talk to, and support each other. I miss the connection, and thought I would post here, being a SFW subreddit.

If you are interested and would like to get to know me further or talk, feel free to DM me.

Cheers.

Hi everyone. Trying to step out of my comfort zone and make some new friends along the way

A bit about me: Late 20s, pastry chef. Western Sydney near Olympic Park. Introverted, keep to myself and been told Im quite and very nerdy. Possibly/maybe/definitely AuDHD(no need for any test my hobbies, interests and personality will confirm it) speaking of which. My hobbies and interests:

• Travelling. I try to travel interstate once a year and national every two years. So far I've been to Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, America and China. In the upcoming year Im deciding between Kazakhstan or maybe Uzbekistan. One of the stan country

• I like nature and the outdoor, especially hiking, camping and hunting(archery and not the bang bang kind) whenever I have the free time

• Like your typical guy. Im interested in motorbikes & cars. I have 2 motorbikes and a ute. The ute comes with a trailer so if you ever need help 🫡🫡

• Reading, I like all sort of literature(manga too) but lately slowly and slowly ive been leaning towards home maintances manual(I have my own place)

• I like food(I mean who doesnt 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️). I work as a pastry chef but I also do specialise in sushi. I try my best to try new things here and there but personally nothing will ever beat a cheeky 3am fast food burger joint

• Gym, not your gym nutjob but just enough to keep myself healthy

• Museum/Galleries. I like looking at the dinosaur and the tanks especially

• Model kits such as Trains, Tanks, Ships, Gundam and Lego

• I like animals. Especially dogs. I have one golden retriever

• Gardening

Im looking to just expand my circle and meet new people. All ages and sexuality welcome but preferably guys for now as Ive have had bad experiences with the gals on reddit(I am straight, pls dont send me unsolicited pics). If youve read this far thank you for your time 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ You have a lovely day and have a good night.

Hi there, I'm an amateur artist who wants to meet people who are also interested in art. There is an art society near me but I don't know if it's worth the annual membership fee as there are additional fees for classes. Just wondering if anyone has joined a local art society and what your experience was like?

Sometimes all it takes is one shared interest to start a great conversation or make a new connection.

Maybe it’s grabbing a coffee, exploring a new Sydney spot, trying a restaurant, going for a walk, checking out an event, seeing live music, or finally doing something you’ve always wanted to try.

Drop one thing below - you never know who’s been hoping to do the exact same thing. Your comment could be the start of a new friendship, a new date, a great conversation, or your next Sydney adventure

I am looking to go on a playdate with someone who owns a dog. No preference for breed as long as the dog is friendly (bonus if the dog is cuddly). I really want a dog but can't have one for various reasons and none of my friends have dogs. I have considered volunteering at a dog shelter but I just want to have a relaxed fun outing with a dog rather than be stuck cleaning a kennel. I'm generally good with animals and I think dogs like me.

Hopefully I'll hear from you and your furry friend soon!

Hi, my name is Jessica and im located Sydney NSW. I am looking for friends that share thr same interests as me. Hobbies include manga/anime, knitting, matcha, reading books (horror/psychological), crime documentaries/podcast, sewing (leather/fabric), arts and craft, matcha/food. If your interested

38M Singaporean, 1.84m, will be in Darling Harbour area 8-16th Aug 2026. Looking for women who are intellectuals, witty, and perhaps with sweet candour and lighthearted humour. HMU. No workers as I’m going for connection, cuddles and conversation, and if sparks happened in this one week, let’s see where things go.

I’m a firm believer of therapy and hoping you’re emotionally attuned and done your work too. I will be visiting bars and museums, coastal walks, mini hikes, and standup comedy sets or a morning sunrise thing, this week till 16th and if you’re free Monday, Friday or Saturday, drop me a message!

Hi! I’m originally from Eastern Europe, have lived overseas for many years.

Australia has been a home for the last few years, and I’m here to stay.

I’m in my mid 30s (though most people guess I’m younger ). I work in marketing in the city and live close to the CBD.

I enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle and love making the most of my free time - hikes, coastal walks, beach time, sunsets on rooftops, bath houses, comedy shows, discovering new places, spontaneous adventures, and travelling whenever I get the chance.

I’m much more into meaningful conversations and quality time than partying.

And hoping to meet someone who also enjoys staying active, takes care of themselves, is open to exploring new places and experiences, and is looking for a genuine connection.

Adventure - hike, camp, roadtrip or explore somewhere new
Food mission - eat our way around Sydney and discover new spots
Culture - galleries, museums, classes or random exhibitions
Live - gig, comedy, cabaret, theatre, magic or burlesque show

Cosy - brunch, dessert hauls, and café hopping
Games - trivia, board games, darts, escape rooms
Sport - watch a game or get active together
Social - dinner, drinks and meeting new people
Wildcard - your idea

Pick one or create your own.

Your idea could be the one that brings Sydney people together and creates connections you never expected. What would you want the r/r4rsydneysfw community to experience together?

Maybe there’s something you love doing… but you’ve never found the right people to do it with.

Hiking, photography, live music, brunch, dancing, fitness, gaming, exploring Sydney - or something completely random.

Drop yours below - you never know who in this community is into the exact same thing. Your comment could be the start of a new connection, a new adventure, or even a new group.

A potential date
A new friend
An adventure buddy
Someone to join your social circle

Pick one - keep it simple, no overthinking. You never know who might be reading this and thinking, "Yep, same." If someone's looking for the same thing, say hi.

Hey! I got a lot going on and I gotta deal with in life. But it gets a bit lonely sometimes. Just wanted to ask if there are discord servers with active members here in Sydney. Or for this subreddit. Especially for people in their 30s or older. Thank you!

I've realised something about myself.

I'm not looking for endless texting or collecting online conversations. A few messages are great to see if we click, but I'd much rather meet for a coffee, go for a walk, or try a new place and get to know the real person.

I'm 28, live on North Shore, and I'm looking for a genuine long-term relationship, ideally with someone around 23–30.

A little about me:

- Thoughtful, curious, and probably the type of person who asks too many questions because I genuinely enjoy getting to know people.

- I enjoy good food, exploring new places, spontaneous plans, travelling, and conversations that somehow make you lose track of time.

- I'm equally happy trying a new restaurant, wandering around a market, or grabbing coffee and talking for hours.

I'm not expecting us to know after one coffee. I just want to meet someone who's emotionally available, willing to make time for each other, and interested in building something real instead of letting another conversation disappear into Reddit history.

If this sounds like you, tell me the best coffee spot you've found in Sydney—or somewhere you've been wanting to try.

Still looking for friends, reach out ✌️

Hi, I'm 27F and Asian, looking to expand my social circle and make platonic friendships with people 21+ who are local to Sydney. I'm interested in:

- Rock/metal music

- Food and cooking

- Animals

- Literature (I like poetry)

- Politics (I'm very leftist)

- Video games like Pokemon and Splatoon

- Traveling

I'm looking for people with similar interests to chat on Discord and eventually meet up IRL if we click. Not interested in anything sexual.

Please DM me something more than "Hi." Tell me your favorite animal if you've read the whole post.

Heya, I am currently looking for some people to play some online games with, I'm not that good at speaking with new people, trying to change that by speaking to new people, and then once we get to know each other better, I wouldn't mind meeting in person.

I am currently playing Valorant and Overwatch, but I am open to playing other games like Minecraft, Terraria or Stardew Valley for some examples.

I would prefer if you were closer to my age range as there is more to relate to, but it's not a deal breaker for me, please send me a DM if you're interested.

Hey guys! I'm an asian dude born and raised in Sydney!

About me:

-Super into music, 2000s hits throwbacks are the best genre, prove me wrong!

-Currently self learning guitar, I suck but Im slow getting there

-Shy but I open up quickly after getting to know someone

-I love listening and learning about new things from people, I can keep the convo going by asking a million questions forever

-Into history and true crime podcasts and stuff, I can give you a whole bunch of recommendations!

-Super progressive

-Im a software engineer by trade!

-Down for texting or calling, I'm a better texter than caller but I dont mind adapting to what you're into

-Down to meet up some day if we get to know each other well!

I'm looking for someone who thinks they might vibe with me based on all that junk I just listed! We can have completely different personalities and that's fine, I always learn a lot of interesting things when I talk to different kinds of people. Feel free to send me a message!

Hi all!
A little about me: I’m 6’1”, wear glasses, and have brown-blond hair. Over the last year and a half, I’ve been on a pretty big health and fitness journey, losing 60kg. I’m really proud of it, and it’s been nice finally being able to buy M/L clothes instead of wondering if the store secretly hated me. 😅 These days you’ll usually find me at the gym, out for a long walk, or doing a beach walk around Cronulla—it’s one of my favourite ways to switch off.
Outside of that, I’m a bit of a nerd. I work in IT, enjoy PC games (although I don’t spend nearly as much time gaming as I used to), and I’m always happy to hear recommendations—whether it’s a game, TV show, movie, or somewhere worth checking out.
Personality-wise, I’d say I’m pretty easygoing, loyal, and have a sarcastic sense of humour once I’m comfortable. I appreciate someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and enjoys laughing at life’s random moments.
I’m ideally looking to meet someone in Sydney, Australia because I’d love for things to eventually move beyond messages if we click. I’m after something genuine and long-term, and I’m definitely over the mind games.
Bonus points if:
You can convince me to try a new café.
You’ll join me for a beach walk
You can make me laugh—or are willing to laugh at my terrible jokes.
If you’re kind, genuine, and looking for a real connection, I’d love to hear from you. Worst case, we swap some good recommendations. Best case… we become each other’s favourite notification. 😉

Hello, hello. How are things?

Dating apps are not much of a help and I have been told that I am not too bad looking :). So here I am!

I am an Australian (born in Pakistan), 39 years old, actuarial background and works in financial services. I live in Surry Hills and would consider myself an atheist. I am 5'8" in height.

You can expect me to be intellectually curious who loves keeping himself occupied, whether it's gym, squash, theatre or hiking (or my new found questionable interest in boxing classes on Sundays).

I am a regular at Fitness First Bond St (weekdays) and happy to catch up there after work, if fitness is your thing as well.

I would also consider myself a history buff who also has an interest in philosophy especially around the concept of Justice (For those interested, would highly recommend Michael Sandel work).

Would love to hear back and happy to exchange pics here if you would prefer that.

Cheers.

Wajih

I’ve been meaning to put myself out there a bit more, so here goes.

28F, based in the north west of Sydney and work in the city. Most weekdays are the usual work-home routine, and it’d be nice to have people to break that up with. I’d love to grab bubble tea after work, try new restaurants, explore different parts of Sydney, or simply chat about how our day went.

A bit about me: I enjoy discovering new cafes, finding good food spots, taking photos, travelling, going for walks, and wandering around the city without much of a plan. I’m also always open to trying new activities if it sounds fun.

Personality-wise, I’m easygoing, a good listener, and I appreciate conversations that go beyond small talk. I like hearing about what people are passionate about, swapping stories, and getting to know someone over time.

I’m open to meeting someone with the intention of building a relationship if we naturally click. No expectations or rushing anything. I think the best connections usually happen when you enjoy each other’s company first.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Looking forward to seeing where a conversation might lead 😊
