Stuff to do for me and my wife’s 1 year anniversary

Hey everyone sorry if this sounds cringe or anything I just need some help atm, it’s been the best and amazing 1 year of my life after meeting my wife (girlfriend) but soon to be wife 🤞 however after really realising my life was really a joke and boring and horrible to enjoy until meeting the love of my life, I really want her to have the best day ever, I know I should be the one really organising stuff, but I tend to overthink on things and make myself panic for no reason, thanks everyone

30yoM new to Brisbane looking to make new friends

Hi all, Made a couple good connections/friends from my last post figured I'd try again and see who responds.

I just moved to Brissy a few months ago, and am looking to expand my social circle.

Looking ideally for some lasting friendships; preferably that enjoy the occasional deep and meaningful kinda chats.

I enjoy the outdoors; going on hikes and going on drives to explore new places, love sports - especially love cricket, basketball, NRL (my AFL team sucks at the moment), tennis and table tennis - if anyone has a table and keen for a hit lemme know 😂.

Down to go for the occasional drink or restaurant too for something to do.

Bit of a fan of chess and board games, not the best chess player but always keen for a game if anyone wants to have one feel free to hmu. Enjoy gaming on both PS5 and the PC as well.

Other interests include MBTI/personality types; history and politics. Always happy to have a respectful but intellectually stimulating conversation.

I don't mind whether it's a Meetup in person or even just chats over DM or social media, I'm not particular or judgemental with ages; sexuality or gender or anything like that, long as it's good vibes that's what matters, I do have a gf so I'm just after friendship.

I'm based Northside but happy to travel around within reason.

Thanks for reading, Feel free to reach out for a chat :)

Weeknight catch up?

EDIT AGAIN: 5.30 start, not 5. Sorry! Double booked myself.

Edit: How’s Tuesday? Lost Souls karaoke next to/part of Netherworld.

I’ll book karaoke and if you can chuck in $5, it’ll help me cover costs.

5.30 pm start - finish around 8.30? Come at the start or the middle. I’ll message people individually


Hi everyone,

Last month did a lovely spontaneous karaoke night as a belated birthday. Had a beautiful time.

Wondering if anyone wants to do something else in the Valley or maybe West End during the week?

Karaoke is great so happy to repeat that, but also happy to go to Netherworld or somewhere for a drink.

I’m free during the week, just not Wednesday night.

I’ll be at the club probably Friday or Saturday.

Anyone keen? 39F so I’m not just after the young ones here.

If men are so lonely why don't you meet each other instead of trying to use r/brisbanesocial to bother women?

(There's more messages but they're not worth bothering with).

Earlier I made a post about meeting for a coffee/breakfast tomorrow. 95% of the messages I got were from men out of my age preference or had post histories commenting on porn/looking for hook ups so obviously I didn't want to meet them. I don't understand how you wouldn't get why a person wouldn't want to meet you when your post history is basically a jerk off session.

I made a second post requesting to meet other women my age for breakfast and walk, with potential to organise board gaming or meet ups for markets.

Then I start getting messaged this.

This stuff isn't uncommon. Men won't make their own posts to meet with other people or only want to meet women, ignore boundaries, and like with this guy still try get you to meet them in an attempt to "convince" you they're worth meeting. This is r/brisbanesocial not dating. I'm sick men crying about loneliness when they create it themselves. The last time I met with a man from Brisbanesocial we were meant to meet for trivia. The guy turned up late (despite the time given) so we couldn't sign up defeating the purpose of even meeting, leered at me, then still wanted us to hang out while whining about being ghosted yet he treated the encounter like a first date.

Women’s chorus concert

Hello everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster…

I’m a choir conductor and two of my choirs are singing tonight, 6:30pm, in a Christmas concert in the Sacred Heart church in Paddington. The real reason, however, that I’m posting is that I think there may be some of you who might be interested in joining one of the choirs next year. People often suggest joining sports clubs and game nights and that’s all great, but there may be a couple of you who are interested?

The women’s chorus is called Brisbane City Sounds and it’s just for women (including those who identify as women). They sing in equivalent to SSAA and only a little bit of musical experience is required to join. I’ve run this chorus for a few years now but I’m leaving them and a new director is coming in next year. They rehearse at the Lavalla Centre also in Paddington on Thursday nights (not for the rest of the year but starting up again towards the end of January).

The other choir is a church choir in Chermside and while we do sing sacred music, many people in the C of E are church-going atheists. If you like good choral music, community, and like the idea of compassion, care, charity, equality, and don’t like so much dogma and hating marginalised groups then many Anglican churches are actually quite lovely. I’m very much atheist and I’m their director of music.

Anyway the concert is tonight at 6:30pm and while everyone is welcome, I thought it might be good to publish the existence of these groups here.

If anyone has any questions or whatever, please feel free to dm me or leave a comment.

Live life light

Hey Brisbane tribe, I'm new and looking to go to / team up for a burn ceremony in the next day or so. Post in the comments if this interests you.

Why? Because I ^GonFire7 believe we co-create a life worth living ^GonFire7 via the vibe tribe we choose - GonFire7 🔥🔥🔥

A burn ceremony is a powerful ritual that allows individuals to release negative energy, let go of the past, and create space for new beginnings. By employing the transformative power of fire, burn ceremonies can provide a cathartic experience and allow individuals to connect with their intentions on a deep level.

🔥🔥🔥

Understanding the Significance of a Burn Ceremony

Before diving into the practicalities, it is essential to grasp the deeper meaning behind a burn ceremony. Burn ceremonies have a rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations and indigenous cultures across the globe. -GonFire7 👆🔥👼🔥

Hey everyone, 👋

So I'm bit of lurker here, comment every now and then. I've talked to quite a few people on here, which I'm very grateful for. Like everyone, I have a story, which I'm not going into great detail with.

But long and short of it, recently separated (6 months ago) and starting to struggle with the isolation. I'm socially awkward and have a range of issues, but trying hard to put myself back out there.

I'm self aware, and I recognise my faults. Mainly on the north side of Brisbane.

So I'm early 40s Male, love walking my dog, hiking, golf, gaming, coffee, cars, bikes, home-brew, and bit more.

I have tried on here to get to know people through other sub-reddits, but that fizzled out.

Guess I'm looking to expand my social circle from just my dog.

Anyway thanks for reading this 🙂

Looking for two (2) kind and fun souls to volunteer for a scavenger hunt on Christmas Eve!

Hey Reddit!

I’m tossing around the idea of hosting a Christmas scavenger hunt in QUT botanical gardens, but I’ll need two helpers to pull it off. The story? Mischievous possums have stolen Santa’s heirloom baubles, and teams will try to find them before Santa misses the footy! 🏉

It’s all still in the planning stages, so I’m looking for a couple of festive-minded volunteers to help with setting up and ensuring the smooth running of the event along with myself.

If you love Christmas, have a sense of humour, and want to help make this happen, let me know! 🎄

The event is designed for adults (18+) with the goal of fostering connections and encouraging new friendships in a fun, festive atmosphere.

Anyone locally play historical wargames?

[repost from r/Brisbane]

Over the last few years I've been really heavily getting into historicals, particularly the COIN series, Levy and Campaign, Fort Circle's US history games (Votes for Women, Shores of Tripoli), and various GMT and Hollandspiele games.

I'm curious if anyone else locally plays these types of games, and if there are any established groups that regularly play? I've tried converting my friends (who are into tabletop RPGs and miniatures games, so should have an appetite for heavier games), but the density and learning curve has been too much of a barrier to enthusiasm.

(I'd particularly like to find a group who are into the COIN system or other strategic/operational level games, rather than hex-and-counter/tactical games. Note that I'm NOT looking to play miniatures games, LARP or video games).
