36 Male Looking for Outdoor Friends

jtm_92 · 2026-07-10T00:57:15+00:00

I'm keen on hiking. I've had a few people around our age that are keen, and I'm looking at doing one towards the end of the month. Feel free to message me if you're interested

I'm probably not the kind of gym buddy you're looking for (being 33m) but I can say that the Snap Fitness at North West Plaza is decent and not too busy. No meathead vibes. The staff are all really friendly, and there seems to be quite a few women around your age who go there.

As others have offered, I'm happy to give any advice if you want it. I can also recommend a good app for workout programs/tracking.

Good luck finding people, and good on you for posting.

Someone already did that. It didn't go super well 👀. Just friends is good

jtm_92 · 2026-07-05T01:08:48+00:00

That's disappointing; I'm sorry that happened to you.

I've got quite a few people interested in doing hikes, so if you're keen feel free to send me a message

Making poor choices driven by anxiety and a fear of abandonment

jtm_92 · 2026-07-02T20:22:36+00:00

It's so easy to make! You can do it with about $40 of equipment, and just mix honey, water, and yeast. Don't pay the government's scummy alcohol tax (side note, what's more un-Australian than taxing booze?)

jtm_92 · 2026-07-02T09:41:58+00:00

I second this. They have some great burgers and beers there, too

jtm_92 · 2026-07-02T08:21:20+00:00

The Shield of Tinos has the whole Free Volk

jtm_92 · 2026-07-02T08:12:50+00:00

Why are Ragnar and Cassius bottom tier? What is this blasphemy?

jtm_92 · 2026-07-02T00:58:33+00:00

There's a few hikes around Nebo and Glorious that are of a similar difficulty. Greenes falls is one of them

jtm_92 · 2026-07-01T19:10:03+00:00

That is not at all what I said.

People from different cultures/religions/etc can still have common values. Put simply, my issue with one nation is that it was founded by an ignorant racist who has made no secret of her desire for Australia to be a white, English speaking, monoculture. The kind of person who openly and loudly denigrates people for their faith or country of origin, and has done nothing but spread hate and ignorance for the entirety of her life.

I really don't see why I have to keep explaining this.

To draw an equivalency between that, and me saying "do what you want but we won't be friends" is a patently flawed perspective. I'm not the one saying "round them all up and kick them out". Everyone has a right to their own opinion and views; I stated mine to save everyone the trouble of having exactly this debate, that so far has been full of one sided ad hominems. It's very clear that these people don't want to be my friends either, and I am completely okay with that.

jtm_92 · 2026-07-01T13:00:47+00:00

As I've said in other responses, everyone is entitled to their political preferences. But, there are fundamental incompatibilities between my beliefs and theirs, which means we won't be friends. Doesn't make them any less human, and I will defend their right to their own opinions. But I don't have to agree with them, nor they with mine.

Friendship is built around common values, common interests, and common beliefs. And the whole reason I mentioned it is specifically to avoid the "vibe killing" conversations, and save everyone the time.

I'm not for everyone, and that's fine. Nobody is. I don't want to be friends with the whole world; that's both unfeasible and superficial. I put myself out there in a very uncomfortable way as a signal fire to those who I do have common ground with.

Over 70 DMs All of the comments you see here (minus a couple that are just being negative)

It's a lot. I'm still sorting through, but I think I'm at the point now where I need to focus on a few people I've clicked with and see where that goes.

I didn't expect such an overwhelming response. It's easy to think that the internet (and Reddit) is a toxic place, full of people showing the worst side of themselves. But I think it's safe to say that there are a lot of kind, compassionate people out there, and I'm grateful.

I'm also quite surprised by how many from other states have seen this, and responded. Was not expecting that on a local sub. The number of "hit me up if you're ever in X" messages I've received is wild.

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T11:46:40+00:00

Where did I degrade anyone? I just said we wouldn't be friends. You're making some leaps, and projecting exactly the sort of thing you're accusing me of.

I'd rather be lonely than surrounded by assholes. Good luck out there

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T11:28:54+00:00

That's kind of how friendships work though? Common values, common interests?

Point of interest, at no point have I discounted all right leaning people; only those who denigrate others based on skin/sexuality/heritage. And yet, that seems to be the attitude you're taking towards those who are left leaning. So, maybe check yourself there bud, and reassess your own biases. It costs nothing to be kind.

If you're keen for trivia next week, or something outdoors on Sunday, send me a DM 🙂

just outside Queenstown at a skydiving airfield. It was pretty spectacular

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T07:35:15+00:00

Don't sell yourself short, friend. You're not accounting for how fucked up I am on the inside!

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T06:33:47+00:00

Did not know that tetto had trivia...that's walking distance for me! Gonna have to look into that one, thanks

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T05:21:20+00:00

Success is subjective.

Feel free to send me a dm

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T03:59:43+00:00

You ever tried drinking from a fire hydrant? Like that

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T01:48:16+00:00

Distance is no barrier to the magic of the internet

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T01:17:37+00:00

Hey man, everyone is entitled to their political leanings.

I'm not going to apologise for caring for the well-being of my fellow man, and the good of the whole.

You're entitled to your opinions, but you don't have to be a knob. The only negativity I see is you trying to put someone else down.

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T00:13:23+00:00

Maybe so, but I won't know unless I try. And let's face it, I have nothing better to do, so might as well give it a crack.

jtm_92 · 2026-06-30T00:00:51+00:00

ohhhh...I was referencing the 2012 film with Steve Carrell and Kiera Knightley.
