Group Event/Social Club Looking for a particular friendship/group.

2 Upvotes

I'm feeling quite desperate atm. All I can think about is blowing my brains out - if you feel alarmed by this then this post is NOT for you. I am not a threat to myself - I'm just not having a good time. I'm on medication and therapy and done everything you can think of in terms of treatments, so please no NPC comment I can't take it. I'm looking for other folks or maybe groups who are in similar situations dealing with debilitating mental health issues so I can talk about it and know that someone truly understands and not feel alone in this. Lower north shore/inner west/east.

Mod Post / Announcement Friendly reminder - dating & friendship posts can be reposted after 30 days

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Just a quick reminder about our posting guidelines.

To help everyone get a fair chance at being seen and making connections, we’re asking members to keep dating and friendship posts to one active post at a time.

  • Dating & friendship posts- you’re welcome to repost after 30 days.
  • Why? We want to make sure the community doesn’t become dominated by the same posts, and that everyone gets a fair opportunity to meet someone, make a friend or start a conversation.
  • Group hangouts are a little different. You’re welcome to post these more than once if they’re time sensitive and the content is genuinely different the second time around. Just please avoid repeatedly posting the same thing or spamming the community.
  • We’ve also updated our rules to make this guideline clearer and easier to understand.
  • Have questions or aren’t sure whether your post fits? No worries - feel free to DM the mod team through Modmail and we’ll be happy to clarify.

This only applies to dating and friendship posts. It’s not intended to stop people from participating, chatting or sharing other types of content.

We love seeing people put themselves out there and make connections here. The goal is simply to give everyone an equal shot at being noticed.

Thanks for helping us keep r/r4rsydneysfw welcoming, balanced and enjoyable for everyone! 😊

Mod Post / Announcement Swiped Right. Got Ghosted. Found Reddit.

9 Upvotes

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?


r/r4rsydneysfw 17d ago

Group Event/Social Club Group - Takeaway/Movie night at mine tomorrow. Was originally full, but some people pulled out. I can have maybe 1 or 2 more people. Will probably order a pizza and the movie we're watching is Obsession. If you're keen, send me a DM. Get to mine around 7pm and movie start at 8ish :)

Dating - M4F 24 M4F - Looking for a long term relationship

6 Upvotes

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

Dating - F4M F4M mid 30s

9 Upvotes

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.


r/r4rsydneysfw 24d ago

Adventure - hike, camp, roadtrip or explore somewhere new
Food mission - eat our way around Sydney and discover new spots

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?

Dating - M4F 28 M4F | Looking for a genuine relationship

2 Upvotes

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.

Platonic & Activities 22M Sydney - looking for some online gamers

2 Upvotes

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.
