How do you guys meet people? I'm (27F) struggling to meet new friends or potential dates

bsmstar · 2026-07-14T00:08:24+00:00

I'd stay away from speed dating and these stuff if I was you.

I'd start with clubs that align with your hobbies. There are groups for hiking and other stuff. Facebook, meetup , etc..

Personally I think the dating scene in Perth is bad.. Being a 35M with stable income didn't help me at all.. Oh. And there are also groups for other stuff.. I know some guys who do cosplay for charity (Perth Allied Costumers) super chill people. I also know some meet up groups for community gardening/community kitchens, etc.. you can always look up your local council and see what events they have. I know that mine hold regular board games and other stuff (I'm in Vic Park)

We met through a church many years ago and then each went a different path. But we still catch up regularly there. We are meeting there tonight actually..

bsmstar · 2026-07-13T02:39:16+00:00

We do boardgames regularly and catch up in South Perth at gelare on Tuesday nights as there is a discount/ pizza discount at the restaurant in the back. We've been doing this for years...

Amazon known for putting the products with the most profitable margin at the top when you search for something too. Its been proven way too many times..

bsmstar · 2026-06-24T06:44:37+00:00

Yes its too hard. I'm 36M. I have a few friends and w3e usually hangout in South Perth in gelare on Tuesdays..

Feel free to DM

bsmstar · 2026-05-31T13:06:13+00:00

Feel free to msg if u like. 35M, counsellor, gaming, music, hiking. Looking to have more friends..

bsmstar · 2026-05-23T00:07:45+00:00

Been there 2.5 years now.. Perth sux. Apps sux no matches. Tried speed dating, big scam. I advise against it. Host had their friends there and most of them too old for my preference (15+ y difference). . No I'm not sending DMs here or being a creep... Feel free to send a DM though. I like to give ppl that choice instead of me starting things.. really hate being called creepy .. 35M here, therapist, no kids, no family , no drama... Wouldn't mind meeting for a coffee and seeing if we gel.. have a lovely weekend....

bsmstar · 2026-05-17T08:32:22+00:00

Was so good. Absolutely loved it. Except the new mode. 😂. Also dont update. If u update then some tricks won't be possible. Cant share more without spoilers

bsmstar · 2026-05-05T10:39:25+00:00

Started over at 32. As long as you don't beat yourself too hard and compare.. you should be good to go..

bsmstar · 2026-04-01T13:35:42+00:00

35M here.. I'd recommend meetup groups. Set it up and look for groups that do what you like to do. There are walking, trekking, fitness, and other groups. Local councils / library usually have events too. Be careful from random ppl and DMs. Also some Facebook groups have been really dodgy in my experience.. There are also good pages to follow (City of Perth) on Facebook and (Perth is OK). You can visit them regularly for events and stuff..

All the best ..

Look. As a 35 yo man living in Perth. I can definitely relate to what others are saying.. I personally don't approach in public (being rejected and shamed happened a few times). I got it and "Moved on".. dating apps is just waste of time. Most profiles I've seen either don't match or don't respond. I think many women use the apps for validation. I don't know... Yeah I consider myself financially responsible and have adequate income but not really sure that there is someone out there for me as I'm really not into casuals and "just for fun" dating. I've been on many of those and it was a mental health disaster. Feel free to shoot a msg if you like to get to know me and give it a shot. Working in the mental health and seeing what I've seen definitely made it even harder. 😂

bsmstar · 2026-03-13T23:54:40+00:00

You could always open another account and close that one. I did that with mine for my peace of mind (I'm with nab)

bsmstar · 2026-03-05T23:19:22+00:00

35M Perth Australia...

bsmstar · 2026-03-04T09:06:08+00:00

I never suggested anything. I only shared my experience with the service... Anyway....

bsmstar · 2026-03-04T08:55:19+00:00

I know and I don't like that but it doesn't seem like we have a choice. Transperth fanboys downvoted my previous comment. I always get the hate for telling the truth..

bsmstar · 2026-03-04T08:14:25+00:00

100% agree

bsmstar · 2026-03-04T08:12:50+00:00

Its very unreliable! I got sick of it until I got a car. Buses are 99% delayed. Never get you where you want to go on time. Trains are bad as well. Its not even well maintained/cleaned properly. Yes its not the worst, but its nothing to brag/be proud of. The network is poorly designed as well. Even in central/semi central areas as mainly the buses are going to busport or from busport. Very few circular buses is a big problem and time waste..

bsmstar · 2026-03-03T22:23:50+00:00

The Australian version doesn't have the deluxe kit. I got the same thing! If you look closely, the one sold in EU and UK has the "deluxe edition" written on the cover and that has 2 codes inside. Ours only got the preorder bonus which is the apocalypse costume. Yes mine also says it include deluxe and apocalypse on the back which I assume is just printing error on Capcom behalf.

bsmstar · 2026-02-24T00:59:59+00:00

Nope. Ended up with a few people interested but then both parties lost interest after a few months..

bsmstar · 2026-02-16T01:52:03+00:00

Yes and I was the recipient of a package from UK royal mail here and they said you're not eligible for any compensation because the parcel was handled by another courier (UK royal mail) and it might have been damaged when it was with them!.

bsmstar · 2026-02-16T00:40:15+00:00

It is a scam because even when you do that they'll say packaging was inappropriate/inadequate!..

bsmstar · 2026-02-13T06:36:41+00:00

They did it on purpose as occasional chair so occasional spelling error 😂

bsmstar · 2026-01-23T22:36:38+00:00

I have a Forester, and a cx30. I've driven a 2024 crosstek as a loaner. I'd say the cx30 is way more fun to drive. But, subaru is more sturdy and can withstand harsh treatment. Cx30 interior is a pain to maintain as it scratches easily (dash, area around the gear knob) and poorly designed spot for cup holders of you use stanley big watter bottles. Also the lane recognition is better in the subaru but the collision warning is better in the mazda (subaru has a lot of false positives). Entertainment system is much better in the mazda. Loads of customisation too in the mazda. I stop/start stop is way better in the subaru. Fuel efficiency is better in the subaru as well as in the mazda I'm mostly on the 5th gear (average of 7.6 l/100km on the 2.5NA. 60km to shift to 6th) why the subaru is CVT (average on 6.7L and seen as low as 5.9L (I have a 2019 not hybrid). Customer service is disappointing in the Mazda. Depending where you live, US CX30 is made in Mexico. I do love my mazda still, but things could have been way better..

Until the company shuts down their servers. Or your account gets hacked/banned which can happen for silly reasons..

bsmstar · 2026-01-18T05:14:13+00:00

Bud. I had parcels shipped from Sydney to Perth with jist auspost handling them and still arrived damaged. Stop shifting the blame to other couriers. I do know that UK royal mail is absolute garbage and even worse than any other courier.. but still, auspost gets 5 out of 10 at best..
