Just lurking around this sub it seems like there's a large demographic of 30 something men looking to form connections /friendships and are pretty open to activity.
I'd be curious how many of you fit into that bucket and feel that describes you.
I wouldn't mind putting together a recurring meetup if the interest is there.
I’ve lived in Denver for a year and go to a ton of shows solo. It’s fun but always more fun with friends.
A lot of my friends only listen to EDM so there are a lot of shows they just aren’t interested in going to.
I would love to find some people to meet up with.
I’m going to American Football at Summit on Friday.
I’m going to Outside Days Fest. Had a buddy that was suppose to fly in for it, but he had an emergency and can’t make it anymore.
I’m also into anything outdoors and always looking for hiking, fishing, paddle board friends.
Hey! My husband and I moved to Denver a year ago and would love to make some friends our age. We enjoy the outdoors, board games, music and hangin out. Anyone ....anyone...
(and love GenX humor I guess?)

Mid 30s dad in Arvada/Denver. My wife has had immense success with her Book Club, going across the Denver metro to discuss their books and becoming close friends eventually, doing crafts, etc. Since becoming a father in 2024 I admittedly have lost most of my social circle and I figured, why not just start something instead?
I checked out MeetUp and this subreddit and either I have terrible filters/search & interests or the UI is truly awful, but I could not really figure out if existing dad groups are real let alone active in Denver. My idea is basically, monthly, we rotate on different activities.
Month 1 - Outdoor Picnic/Chill at City Park, I can rent a pavilion and everyone just come hang out. Nothing serious for this one just bring some food and chat. I can bring some wiffle ball gear too!
Month 2 - Hobby Night at someone's house. Come showcase what niche hobby you're into (Titanic & Shipwrecks for me) and share with the group. Dinner/Drinks.
Month 3 - Jam & Music Night for anyone who plays something. Guitar, bass, drums, whatever you can pickup come play it. Those who don't play can bring their favorite playlist and we can chat.
Month 4 - Video Games meets Book Club and we pick one Single Player game to play that month and at the next meetup we talk about it.
Month 5 - Did someone say Improv Show?
Putting yourself out there for Dads can be hard, but I know a ton of Dads who, once becoming parents, feel like their purpose is only as a provider and lose a lot of sense of self and friendships so I figured I would try and post this here. We all need community. DM or comment if you're interested!
The weather is very nice and I just want to ride a motorcycle. I don’t ride myself but I really enjoy it. So I thought maybe go on here and ask. I’ll pay for gas. It doesn’t hurt for a girl to ask right? Hahah. It seems silly but I’ll try it. :)
I've had brunch there, and it's really good. I just don't want to go by myself or with my established friends. I'd like to meet some brand new people.
Hey y’all!
I’m a 30-something single woman. I literally move to Denver (from another area of Colorado) tomorrow for a new job. Not originally from CO, but have lived here almost 10 years. I’ll be living in the South Broadway-ish area.
Interests: hiking, speakeasies/vibey drink spots (but non-alcoholic cocktails for me), dogs (I have a big dog myself), reading, traveling (anything from road trips to international), food, binge watching terrible TV, country concerts, and trying new stuff in general.
Especially looking to build/join a strong group of girlfriends. LGBTQ friendly.
Hi 🙂 (32F) Looking for some friends (30s-40s also) that live nearby Littleton/Lakewood area that would wanna meet up for walks, hikes, drinks, coffee, trivia, movie nights, other casual hangs/activities. Most of my friends live up north or further into Denver. I would really like to meet some people closer so it’s easier to meet up and not drive so far out.
A bit about me, I love music, nature, good laughs/deep conversation. I’m pretty easygoing and have a sweet dog I take on walks. If this resonates, send me a message!
Edit: forgot to add ages to post
Hi, I (39F) just launched a small business (jewelry for dog lovers!) 2 weeks ago. It's been exciting, but also unexpectedly lonely. Most of my friends are still in their 9-5 and aren't local to Denver.
I’d love to meet or connect with other small business owners who get what it’s like to be in this stage. Figuring things out, building something meaningful, riding the highs and lows!
Hey y’all, I’m Bubba. It started as a childhood nickname that just stuck, so pretty much everyone in my life calls me that besides coworkers. I’m 23, male, and I’ll be moving out to Denver around June/July. I already have a place lined up and honestly can’t wait to start this next chapter of my life.
I’m getting out of the military, and an amazing opportunity opened up for me in Denver. It’s one of those chances I’d be crazy not to take.
I’m not really a club, rave, or bar guy, but I’m always down to meet good people. If you ever need a sober driver or someone to make sure you get home safe, I’m your guy.
A few things I’m into:
Figured I’d try making some online friends before I head over there. Looking forward to meeting some cool people!
Do you like baseball? Want to play but have a super busy schedule and can’t commit to a league? Haven’t thrown a ball since little league? Haven’t thrown a baseball at all but interested in the sport?
Denver Sandlot is the league for you, we are starting a sandlot pick up style baseball league in the Denver metro area. We want to make the sport as accessible as possible to anyone. We are currently meeting a few times a week with our main meetup on Saturdays at 10:30.
Bring a glove! Don’t have one? We have plenty of equipment to share!
Join the discord!
Hey everyone!
We're running (ha!) a very unserious run club in Wash Park for people who enjoy (or tolerate) running, and want an excuse to get outside on a Wednesday night. It's called Dad Bods Running Club (mostly because we think that's a funny name), but it's open to all people and paces.
The details:
No pressure to be fast. No pressure to wear spandex.
You can learn more here: dadbodsrunningclub.com
Hope to see you Wednesday!
Hey guys! I’m a 32-year-old gay male who just moved to Denver 6 weeks ago from Texas. I’m still settling in and finding my groove, but I’m ready to start building some real roots here.
I’m looking to connect and make meaningful, 1-on-1 friendships, but I’m also open to group hangouts. I’m big on hiking and yoga, and I love the connection that happens over a home-cooked dinner or exploring local food spots. I’m always down for day trips, mountain exploration, or a game night.
If you’re looking for a consistent friend and a good conversation, I’d love to chat and see if we click!
I posted on here a few months back and while I got a lot of suggestions for things to do, I still haven't actually made many friends, so I thought I'd post again. I'm also moving to Lakewood in June, so I'll be on the other side of town and am hoping to get into the mountains more.
I'm a teacher full time so I'm mostly free on weekends, but could go out some weekdays night too. I don't drink anymore (8 months sober as of today), and I am also a chronic pain girly (EDS & a lymph system disorder we're narrowing down) so people who understand that are dope, but I try not to let it limit me too much. I can hike / walk a few miles and do love doing active things, I just need to prep for them & have recovery time. I am interested in getting back into light lifting and currently do a lot of yoga.
I'm not looking for any big discord groups, I joined a few last time and they were just overwhelming and full of drama. I also have disliked most Meetup groups, they tend to be very disorganized and multiple times I have left before being able to find the group.
Maybe this is just my 'tism, but I thought it might be helped to list out a couple different 'types' of friends I'm looking for to give people an idea of my hobbies & interests!
First & foremost: Queer friends!! I am mostly comfortable around queer folks and would love friends to go to Pride and drag events with this summer!
Nerd friends - I have played d&d for about a decade now and have dressed up for Ren Faire every year I've been here, but I don't have anyone to go with this year, and d&d groups have been very hit and miss. I love running games too, I actually prefer it to playing! Not as into board games but not against them.
ASL / signing buddies - I am not deaf, but I've been signing for years, partly as a hobby and partly for work, but I'd love to meet more adults to practice signing with, or would even be open to class suggestions.
Mechanics / handyman friends - I love working with my hands and genuinely miss when my buddies needed an extra hand in the garage or in the garden.
'Woo- / witchy friends - probably the weirdest and hardest to explain lol but basically I've been having some weird things going on recently so I'm trying to learn more about all that stuff, ghosts & spirits and all that. I am also a bit spiritual/ religious and like talking about theories on past lives & multiverses.
In general, I also love animals (I have a cat and two snakes), writing/reading, cooking and lots of different tv shows and movies - I recently got into horror and have no one to talk about it with haha all in all I have a pretty wide range of interests so don't worry if we don't have something specific in common, feel free to send me a message if you think we'd get along!
Hi! I’m a woman in my 30s from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 currently in Denver to improve my English.
I’m staying in a place where most people are 50+ (nothing wrong with that at all!), but they’re mostly couples doing their own thing… so I end up being the solo one haha.
I’d really love to meet people around my age (or older) to hang out and make friends. I’m also interested in learning more about American culture while I’m here.
A bit about me: I enjoy reading, geek stuff, hiking, museums, board games, video games, and anything related to cooking and food.
If anyone is interested in learning or practicing Spanish, I’d be happy to help too
For work, I have a background that combines technology and law, in case that helps connect with like-minded people.
Feel free to reach out
You know that outfit you LOVE but never have a reason or place to wear it? This is the reason! Show up in whatever’s been sitting in your closet waiting for a moment. Come overdressed, over-the-top, or wildly impractical! Ballgowns, super technical gear, your festival outfit, your halloween dreams, your cosplays... Just as long as it's appropriate for a public bar.
This is open to all folks in their 30s/40s! We will have name tags and stickers to indicate what you're interested in (friends, romance, all connections, etc.). A lot of folks will be single, but plenty of people will just be trying to make new friends and community because DAMN it's hard as an adult!
Tickets are FREE on Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nothing-to-wear-this-to-party-denver-30s40s-tickets-1988578467728?aff=oddtdtcreator
If you're interested in our Discord, we have nearly 1k members and host all sorts of things from parties like these, to interest groups and hangs ranging from board games to running to trivia to restaurant outings! https://discord.gg/FkUSE7jJG
Basically the same as what the long ass title said. My friends are all chumps and bailed on me. I got possibly 3 tickets for the Screeching Weasel show on the 23rd at the Oriental. Yeah I’m an old man of 47 wanting to go relive olden days of the Chicago punk scene…what of it? Anyways since I’m an old man in the punkest way possible…they are also VIP tix 🤷♂️
Hit me up if you got any interest…oh I don’t care how old you are or what gender your mom wishes you were or anything like that…just don’t be a dick and enjoy some old folks punk rock! 🤘
Does anybody know or is a part of any Book Clubs in Denver? Preferably that meets closer to the Glendale/ Cherry Creek/ Virginia Village area?
I have been getting back into reading and while I continue my pursuit of making friends, I figured this could be a fun thing to try out.
Thanks in advance.
I’m 26 and moved to Capitol Hill about a year ago. Like a lot of people here, I was lurking this subreddit hoping to find ways to meet new people. I'd go to social mixers, use bumble bff, and event meetups like timeleft but I was really struggling to make friends and find people to hang out with consistently. A while back, someone I met from a bar trivia event (shoutout to Emily!) mentioned a discord server for people from the Denver area who are looking for friends.
Since I joined, I've been on a ton of group hikes, bar crawls, trivia nights, board game nights, and other stuff. It's still pretty lowkey but its not a sausage fest like some of the other communities and I think there's even spaces just for ladies and nonbinary? I was really nervous about meeting people online but I've been to a bunch of their events, and the vibes have been great every time.
If you’re in your 20s and in the greater Denver area (or moving here), you should join!
Hi! I’m a woman in my late 30s who is looking for a gym partner! I am not super in shape, but I’m trying really hard and find that having accountability to someone who isn’t just myself helps me SO MUCH! I don’t have a gym membership currently, just using my apt gym, so open to going wherever. I’m South Denver/Centennial and wouldn’t mind going to another suburb but do NOT want to go into the city. I’m really interested in someone who is actually serious in making it a habit and might need a partner, too! 💗💗
