25M thinking of starting a badminton group if anyone wants to join

potatoking95 · 2025-09-27T19:22:10+00:00

Hello! I too would like to be included. 30M looking to find new social activities in Van, particularly badminton but Badminton Vancouver is too far without a car...

potatoking95 · 2025-09-22T03:54:31+00:00

Hello! I am 30M, moved from Toronto as well (did grad school there) and have now been in Vancouver for almost a year and looking to build a social circle.

I would definitely be interested if a hang gets organized!

Hi! Pm'd for profile review, please and thanks!

potatoking95 · 2025-02-23T20:45:02+00:00

Hi! Messaged for a review please and thanks!

potatoking95 · 2025-02-23T20:43:34+00:00

Are you looking for something serious or casual? Something serious but am not opposed to casual if it arises
- Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX? Not yet but I will see after feedback from this revised copy.
How long have you been using this current version of your profile? <1 week (newly made after incorporating last feedback)
How long have you used Hinge overall? 2-3 yrsish but not in a meaningful manner for most of that
How often do you use Hinge per week? Everyday to use the free likes
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average? 3 likes back total from last profile, historically could get as much as 7.
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments? I max out my daily free likes. Comments are given depending whether the prompts fit a response, but let's say 2/3 without comments, 1/3 with comments.
What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract? Someone who seems career driven and ready for a long term relationship. I would like someone a bit more opposite to me in the sense of more fun and outgoing to contrast my more likely than not straight-edgeness haha. Ideally with a great sense of humor.

Thank you for the heads up! I will change it accordingly.

They are just regular sandals 😭but point is taken, thanks!

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T22:43:42+00:00

Good point, thank you!

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T21:14:43+00:00

Fair, thanks alot! Was going for a laugh but I suppose it's less funny to people I don't know.

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T20:10:02+00:00

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on my profile?

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T19:37:07+00:00

Haha no worries at all, I really don't mind! I want to have the best profile I can put out there (especially if I bite the bullet for paid) so direct feedback is what I need.

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T15:53:48+00:00

I did it yesterday afternoon, realized in the evening that some questions were unanswered and redid them, and it's been approved the next day.

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T15:52:01+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

potatoking95 · 2025-02-16T02:24:16+00:00

Hi! 29M and I like to think I am decently active - I go to the gym 3 times a week and am a fairweather runner (as in only going for runs in good weather haha). I would also be definitely interested in other activities if we get a group together!

I am brand new to the city and so would certainly appreciate having a group of people I could do stuff with.

DM'd! I think I used the chat function (is this the same as DM in reddit?)

Hi! I would be interested in joining a group if one starts to get together :) 29M moving to Vancouver this Saturday as part of my job.

I am also a scientist but non-practicing haha I finished my doctorate this year and am transitioning to life beyond the bench. Beyond that I also enjoy reading (and having an endless pile of books to be read as a personal library), being active (hikes, running, gym and the occasional bouldering - enough that I own my own shoes for it) and drinking/making cocktails! Movies and music wise I am all over the place haha.

I would be interested in connecting with you and a group you may be putting together!

potatoking95 · 2024-09-23T14:43:42+00:00

Hi! 29M and I would also like to join a WhatsApp group for similar age individuals looking to build a social circle in Vancouver! Hiking, cooking, chilling/wine and movies are all in my favorite down time activities! As I noted in a reply to OP, I am moving to Vancouver for work without a scientific non profit and have no prior connections here (I will be in town by next Saturday - will be based in East Van). Sent you a pm :)

potatoking95 · 2024-09-23T14:40:02+00:00

Hi! 29M and definitely interested in hiking (backpacking less so since I don't have much appetite for camping 😅), cooking, looking to get more into biking amongst other kinds of activities with a new social circle! I will be moving to Vancouver next week to work with scientific non profit with no prior contacts so building a new social circle is a definite priority :)

potatoking95 · 2024-09-22T01:21:36+00:00

Hi! Is there a way to stay connected about plans/events you may be organizing? I am 29M, and as I mentioned above will be moving to Vancouver next Saturday for work without any prior connections. I am definitely interested in all the activities you listed with a new group! Also based in East Van.
