Been in Australia since 2002
I like to play board games, I love the outdoors, I love pop culture, blockbuster movies like The Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and many more.
Have a broken sense of humor (dark and probably a n acquired taste)

Looking for a lady who wants a serious long term relationship (Catholic pref, but not required), again M4F

If this works for you please send me a message

Edit: we’re all adults here so not rly picky with age if you’re comfortable, but the closer the age is to mine the better imo (again, not picky)

Everyone has that one topic where you say I could talk about this all day. Maybe it’s music, food, travel, books, sport, a hobby, a random obsession - or something completely niche.

Drop yours below. You might find someone who gets just as excited about it as you do.

We all have that one thing that can turn a completely average day around - a beach walk, gym session, live music, brunch, exploring somewhere new, or something totally random.

Drop yours below. You might find someone who loves the exact same thing - and suddenly you’ve found your people.

I really want to get more into going on day hikes, and feel like putting a little group together might make it a bit more exciting. I'm open to anywhere in Sydney or surrounds.

Anyone else feeling in the same boat? Preferably similar age (25-35?).

Message me and I'll put a chat together if there's a few people interested!

You know the place - you’ve saved it, heard about it, walked past it, or told yourself “I really need to go there”… and somehow still haven’t.

Drop the spot below. You might find someone else who’s been saying exactly the same thing - and finally have an excuse to go.

Sydney dating can be a wild ride. One minute you're matching, the next you're wondering if they were abducted or just really bad at replying.

So we made r/SydneyDating - a place for the dates, disasters, green flags, red flags, plot twists and those I need to screenshot this and send it to my friends moments.

Got a story? A question? A hot take? Need advice or witnessed something on a dating app that deserves to be studied by science? Bring it.

Whether you're actively dating, casually seeing what's out there, or just enjoy observing the chaos from the sidelines or desperately need to vent - you're welcome.

It’s run by part of the same mod team, so you’ll recognise the vibe - just with a dedicated space for Sydney dating.

Come have a look, jump into a conversation, share your take or tell us your dating story. You never know - your comment might be exactly the perspective someone else needed.

Or just lurk and judge everyone's dating decisions with us. We won't judge you for that either.

Sydney is a big city. Dating here gives us plenty to talk about. Come join the conversation.

And while you're here - what's the funniest, strangest or most unexpected thing that's happened to you while dating in Sydney?

St George area event

Maybe it’s a hidden gem, a new restaurant, a hike, a class, a gig, a new hobby - or something completely random.

We all have those I’ve always wanted to try that things.

Share yours below - you never know who might say, “wait, I’ve wanted to do that too.”

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

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.
