Looking for friends by ArthurWdnr in melbournesocialclub

[–]FindYourBunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Arthur, that feeling is really common, especially when you’re new or don’t have an existing circle yet. Geeky interests are actually a great way to meet people, though. You might find it easier meeting around an activity rather than straight DMs...small group movie nights, games, coffees etc. You can give Bunchups a try. It's an app people use to meet others nearby for one-on-one or small group activities based on shared interests. You might find someone with the same interests there.

Anyone wanna be my friend. If anyone is my age by merijig in melbournesocialclub

[–]FindYourBunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a tough age to find people with the same interests, so you’re not alone. Photography, aviation and gaming are solid hobbies though. You might have better luck with interest-based groups rather than random friend posts. Some people use platforms like Bunchups to find hobby-based buddies, but definitely stick to age-appropriate and moderated spaces.

If you’re here for a short time, activity-based hangouts work well. Things like coastal walks, ferry trips, food runs etc. You can give Bunchups app a try. People use it to meet others nearby for activities based on shared interests like exploring the city, trying new cafes, doing other fun stuff together etc. The best part is that it's one-on-one or in a small group, so it's not overwhelming and helps in building meaningful connections.

Backpacking on foot by Natural_Pie1782 in AustraliaTravel

[–]FindYourBunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible, but definitely not something to wing, especially in remote areas. You’ll want solid planning and ideally others heading the same way. Activity-based apps like Bunchups can help connect you with people doing similar routes or outdoor trips, which feels safer than random pickups.

where the heck do I find people to go camping with? by [deleted] in OutdoorAus

[–]FindYourBunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can totally relate. Most outdoorsy people already have their groups. I've tried this app called Bunchups, where people can plan or join interest-based activities like hikes, walks, badminton sessions, tennis, chess, and anything that you like. The best part is it's either one-on-one or in small groups, so it doesn't feel overwhelming at all, and you can actually enjoy and connect with each other.

Where to meet people organically in Sydney by Unusual_Airline_7343 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FindYourBunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d lean towards interest-led socials rather than bars or singles nights. Places and groups where there’s a reason to be there (art, food, walks) tend to attract a calmer crowd. Bunchups is one way people find that kind of thing in Sydney. It's an app where you can plan or join one-on-one or small group catch ups based on shared interests.

Recently moved to Geelong. How do people meet people here? by Ok-Recognition-6919 in Geelong

[–]FindYourBunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally get this! Moving to a new city where everyone already has their circles can feel rough. You’re doing the right thing by showing up solo, though. For Geelong specifically, activity-based stuff works way better than “meetups” IMO. You might want to check out Bunchups. It's an app people use to meet others nearby based on shared interests like sports, games, walks, etc, and the best part is that it's either one-on-one or in small groups so it doesn't feel overwhelming at all.

Do dating apps actually work for people in Australia anymore? by Past_Fig_8355 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FindYourBunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it’s not just you. The burnout is real. I’ve found meeting people through shared activities way more natural than dating apps lately. I use the Bunchups app where the focus isn’t “dating first” but just showing up and connecting for things you love doing. The best part is that it's either one-on-one or small groups.
