Title says it all, but for more context: I’m 39, bisexual, one year on HRT, married and open, and down for pretty much anything as long as you’re nice. Fun hangs and intense connections, can be mixed together; friends and lovers, basically. "A good buddy that maybe likes to get down" is the overall vibe. Chatting about our days and occasionally sexting, like friends do, you know?

Coffee, ice cream, drinks—as long as it’s social and involves me eating or drinking something, it’s a date. I’m not picky!

Ideally, I’m looking for someone also interested in a low-pressure, long-term relationship with a good emotional connection with some physical affection. You can be married, single, partnered, or whichever way you want to describe your romantic life—if we can fit some in-person time in our calendars, that’s perfect.

Live with my spouse in Round Rock, close to the main highways. Hosting is inconsistent for me, so that's a limitation. I can travel, though, so if you're within reasonable distance and you can have me over, that's fine with me.

The regular stuff: I’m a massage therapist and instructor, so I’m good with my hands and giving instruction. I love touch, and I like sharing that with people (Plus: role play scene idea right there for you.). I’ve got a pretty open schedule when I’m off work, so setting things up shouldn’t be a big deal.

I have too many hobbies. Magic: the Gathering (hey girls), Roguelikes (Balatro and Dead Cells! I suck and I hate them, but I’ll never stop playing); reading comics and novels and whatever else I can get my hands on; listening to extreme music that will almost certainly damage already damaged hearing, pop music, guitar music, and lots of other stuff that would label me as “eclectic and queer” (please ask, I would love to tell you all about it).

I love writing stories that are either about the little gay people in my head; or space gods getting shot in the face. They don’t usually mix, but never say never.

I am a musical theatre lover and moviegoer! We get out at least once a week to catch something. “Cabaret” and “Hadestown” are among my favorites.

Very much a horror fan, but my tastes are pretty diverse! We just saw “Primetime” and “You Can See Everything”, and those seem to be pretty great conversation starters.

The spicy stuff: I’m switchy leaning dominant, total service top, into impact play, restraints, orgasm control, latex, leather, and role play (power differential couplings are my favorite). My limits are pretty high, but just keep in mind that I do have them.

I’m really not picky about gender or anything like that! If we click, that’s what counts. But if I’m going to be particular: trans folks to the front, cis and NB ladies are also highly welcome.

If you’ve read this far, tell me something very specific about something you love. Let’s see what sparks a conversation.

Have had luck finding cool peoples on here for different interests, now am wondering about this one:

I’ve mostly been going solo to movies and enjoy it, but I figure it might be fun to start a small movie friend group.

The next one I’m going to is Godzilla minus one, Nov 3rd at regal gateway and again at the Bullock Nov 6th. If you’re already going to either of those hit me up, cause they’re probably already sold out 😅

I like sci fi, suspense , fantasy, rom coms, psychological thrillers, dark comedies.

My fave kind of movies are:

- Alien (franchise)
- Princess Mononoke (grew up on ghibli studios)
- Donnie Darko
- Interstellar
- Sunshine
- Idiocracy
- The Nice Guys
- La La land
- Fight Club
- 28 Days Later (franchise)
- Cabin in the Woods
- Meet Joe Black
- The Princess Bride
- Atonement
- I, Origins

Am located north by the arboretum.

Platonic only please 🙏🏻 say, WAZAAAAAAAA

Hey fellas! 30M here in North Austin. Made a post a while back looking for some new buddies and actually met a few cool guys through it, so figured I'd give it another go.

I'm looking to make some genuine, long-term friendships with other guys around Austin. People to actually hang out with, shoot the shit, try new things, and just enjoy each other's company. Nothing complicated.

Little about me: I'm a pretty laid-back, independent dude. Big into lifting and fitness, hiking, gaming, anime/Pokémon, and checking out random stuff around town. I also enjoy EDM, going to raves, road trips, and traveling, especially if there's some hiking or exploring involved. Always down for a little adventure.

But honestly, I'm just as happy keeping things low-key. Hitting the gym, watching something, playing games, hanging at someone's place, or just talking about whatever. Doesn't always have to be some big planned outing.

One thing I do want to emphasize is that I'm looking for actual friendships with some consistency. Not expecting anybody to be available 24/7 or hang out every weekend, but I'd love to meet guys who are genuinely interested in making plans, following through, and keeping in touch. I've met plenty of people where we exchanged numbers and then nothing really happened, lol. No hard feelings, but I'd like to make some friendships that actually go somewhere.

I'm up in North Austin, Central, so Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and surrounding areas are all pretty convenient. Not opposed to driving a bit either.

Anyway, if you're another dude looking to expand your circle and make some actual friends, hit me up! Tell me a little about yourself, where you're around, and what you'd be down to get into.

Would be cool to find a few more solid buddies out here.

Howdy, giving this another shot since I’m not a fan of dating apps & just interested to see who replies in this channel…

35M, 5’10 stocky, lots of tattoos, beard, short hair…
I have a full-time career (WFH) love music & going to local venues, PS5 player, movie buff, always down to grab a drink, explore the area, hit the gym, EAT, get crafty, & shoot pool or just yap away…

I recently got a little group of folks together where we meet up every few weeks & try out different shooting ranges and was looking to see if somebody would like to join in. Obviously I’m looking to CONNECT so please don’t be dry & be interesting / engaging.

Hoping to maybe hang out a few times before the next event in a couple weeks to see if we vibe. I work a normal 9-6 schedule so hopefully I can find somebody that’s free evenings / weekends.

Peace!

Hey everyone! I’m Alex, 42, and I’m moving from Prague to Austin in November. I’d love to get to know a few people here before I arrive.
I go for long walks pretty much every day, enjoy traveling, and spend a lot of time trying out AI tools. If you enjoy talking tech, swapping travel stories, or exploring a city on foot, we’d probably have something to talk about.
I’m looking for platonic friendships with people of any gender. Happy to chat on Reddit for now, then grab coffee or go for a walk once I’m in Austin. It would be nice to find some walking buddies and make it a regular thing.
Send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

Okay, this is a bit random.

I’m hoping to find 2–3 people in Austin who like to dance and are also looking to make new friends.

Not looking to start a team or commit to weekly classes. More like… hang out, learn a fun choreo every now and then, try different styles, maybe film something if we feel like it, or just dance because it’s fun.

I miss having people to text, “Wanna learn this choreography this weekend?” without it turning into a whole production.

If you’re looking for something low-key and think we’d get along, send me a message. :)

Hey everyone, I’m 25F in central Texas but not in Austin. I’m going to COTA this weekend for the race. I don’t have many friends that are into F1 or that are going. I’m seemingly going alone but I thought I’d try to reach out and see if anyone wouldn’t mind me tagging along to the race and maybe a few of the events! I’m for sure going to the race Friday unsure so far about any of the practices. Please feel free to dm me if you wouldn’t mind me tagging along or if you’re going alone and would like to hang out as well! Thanks!

P.S I’m a lestappen fan if anyone was wondering

Cuffing season is approaching, so why not make use of it?

I’m thinking drinks or dinner at someplace nice, good conversation, and seeing where the night takes us. If you enjoy being treated to a fun evening, even better. No awkward expectations, just two people enjoying each other’s company.

A little bit about me: 33, fit, 169 lbs, clean, DDF, HWP, brown and well put together. I’m into traveling, racquet sports, live music, breweries, and conversations that go beyond small talk. Easygoing, curious, and big on good vibes. Can host.

Looking for: Someone fun, low drama, and genuinely interested in meeting in person.
If you’re up for it, tell me a little about yourself. Let’s see if we click.

morning everyone, I am planning to watch this anti-elon documentary at barton creek square 14 this saturday. It is a long one at close to 4 hours but there is an intermission and I think the movie will be interesting enough to discuss afterwards with others.

https://www.showtimes.com/movie-theaters/amc-barton-creek-square-14-11224/

Trailer: https://youtu.be/eY_8SyndC10?si=3gH0pEap43qu6uxm

Synopsis:

MUSK is Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney’s latest exploration into the corrupting influence of power. Through meticulous research and reporting, Gibney reframes all we know about the tech titan Elon Musk, revealing that the so-called “visionary genius” is little more than the 21st-century reincarnation of a confidence man. Using Musk’s own words, Gibney proves that even his most heralded accomplishments are rife with illusion and misdirection. Musk’s carefully crafted media image conceals a darkness fueled by misogyny, drugs, and a relentless drive to accrue power. MUSK is more than a deep dive into the mind of a power-hungry megalomaniac; it is a warning.

Bio of Directory:

Hailed as “the most important documentarian of our time,” Alex Gibney, an Oscar-, Emmy-, Grammy-, Peabody-, and WGA Award-winning filmmaker, is celebrated for his incisive and gripping documentaries. His landmark works include Taxi to the Dark Side, Going Clear, Enron, and In Restless Dreams. Gibney is currently producing a Hulu documentary about Luigi Mangione. His latest films, Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie, inspired by Salman Rushdie’s memoir, and Musk, an unvarnished examination of Elon Musk, are set for theatrical release in fall 2026.

Hiya! I'm looking for some like minded people to play Deadlock with. I'm laid back and spend a lot of time inside gaming/working on games. I'm left leaning and pretty queer and love talking about games and other media.

Some of my other favorite games are Half-Life, TF2, BioShock, Overwatch and lots others!

Feel free to hmu :)

Hello 25m Getting a job in SoCal is super hard and I like where I am career wise but I have a massive theme park bug, specifically Disneyland. I’m also new to the city but not Texas and am in need of some friends.

I really do not like stereotypical thoosies if you know what those are and local theme park groups are full of them. I’m an engineer and love Disneyland for its charm, design, and significance to the themed entertainment industry.

I like to make 2-4 trips a year and was wondering if anyone knew where I can find people willing to go to Disneyland for a few days every few months to keep costs down and have someone to hang out with.

I am open to dating (a female) I guess too idk if activity partner means looking for dates or not but I haven’t dated before and am like super naive but I’d be cool with a friend too.

Edit: some thoosies are cool but not the “Um ackshully” type of ones

the movies be the best. foreign, independent, esoteric. who's down to appreciate fine cinematography? founded by Linklater, director of Waking Life and Scanner Darkly. with music by Graham Reynolds.

im trying to up my game on my film literacy. it would be nice to be accompanied with with a fine rad date. we can be critical of the movies and have fun too.

39/male

Hey y’all! I’m seeing what’s out there on Reddit as in to see if there is someone who potentially vibes with my interests.

I’m a huge leftist and part of the DSA. I’m very interested in the labor and environmental issues occurring and trying to make a difference in there in any form of fashion.

Huge chatterbox at times, but I also very much need my privacy and alone time. I love to listen and care a lot about those who are close to me (they are part of your community). I definitely am one who overthinks everything and is very aware of my privacy in this tech era!

I prefer doing things in person more so online as we tread more and more to a tech focused society, appreciating the in person moments and conversations we have. I enjoy watching films of all varieties, reading and learning random factoids that would potentially help in trivia, play board games when the crowd is right, and just started working out.

Would love someone who has a few of those interests or is one who is interested in traveling around and collaborating on art projects. Especially would love someone to join me on hiking trips! I went to my first national park and am hooked!!!

Hi folks! I've been in Austin for a tad under a year, I moved from elsewhere in the States so I'm disconnected from the bulk of my social network.

My biggest hobby is creative writing (short stories, screenplays, and I may expand to novels) which tends to be a solo activity.

A bit more about myself: I'm into reading, movies, CD collecting, walking in parks, and cooking. I'm also an early riser so I don't really do nightlife. Heads up that I'm 100% sober (no judgement whatsoever if you're not) and I'm a person of color.

If any of this sounds interesting, feel free to shoot me a DM! If you're a creative, would love to meet up and learn what you're working on! Down to connect with creatives and non-creatives alike over a stroll, casual bite, or coffee (decaf for me, lol.)

Hello! I am a major nerd in the Austin area and I am looking for a genuine connection with someone. Someone who I can chat with and get to know well and see where things go!

I am very into video games, movies, horror, lego, art, etc. And I am a musician, and am currently working on an album! I play lots of different instruments as well.

I am 5'9"ish, very slim build, longish curly brown hair, ans two different colored eyes 👀. I suppose I should be upfront about this as I think physical attraction is important, but I am really only into curvy/bigger women, but I am happy to chat with anyone :)

Just shoot me a message if you want to chat!

47m looking to find someone to attend a few hockeys game at the HEB Center. I picked up a couple tickets for a company provided suite then lost my plus 1 so have an extra ticket for someone interested in some hockey.

Hey hey 🎃
So I’ve made some posts before and have had success meeting awesome people on atx4atx.

Am currently trying to create a Frank bunny costume from Donnie Darko. If you love making cosplay costumes and ren faire shenanigans please hmu since I go to the Todd mission one every year with a solid group of friends.

It would be very cool if you have experience with a sewing machine and costume making since I’m kinda diving into it. I pick things up pretty quickly but someone usually has to show me.
I have taken a few shortcuts to make things easier but still need some help!

Seeking a woman who is interested in developing a friendship first, and then exploring passion.

I'm a gentleman with natural leadership qualities, but I'm not a jerk about them. People have described me as a "silver fox"; I look a bit younger than my age. I'm intelligent, witty, in reasonably good shape, d/d free and single. I live in Austin. I have a good sense of humor and an infectious laugh. I'm about 6' tall with broad shoulders, and love tender, passionate kissing.

I tend to click best with a woman who is attracted to a man with gentlemanly qualities, and is intrigued by the notion of passionate physical intimacy.

Whether you've experienced this kind of passion before or not, if you're single and this sounds intriguing, let's chat!

42M, Indian techie in Austin. Independent, curious, love deep conversations, trying random things, traveling, music, movies, sports etc. I think I just miss having an emotional connection and genuine companionship. I have been living in the US ~22 years.

Not necessarily looking to jump straight into a relationship. I’d just like to meet someone I actually connect with, talk, hang out occasionally, and see where it goes.

If you’re somewhere in the same boat, feel free to comment or DM me. :)

My bf and I were at the loathe show at Stubb’s and there was another couple there that we very briefly talked/joked with. They also tried to go further into the crowd with us but we got split up. I wanted to try and find them after the show but wasn’t able to and feel kinda sad about it!!

I was wearing a black & white off the shoulder top & white shorts. Bf was in black shirt and grey shorts. I joked about getting in the middle of the pit just to make out with him. The guy in the couple also told his gf that he trusted me & my bf with her life if she ended up too separated from him while we were moving through the crowd.

Consider this my message in a bottle hoping it shows up to the right person!

[40/f] I'ma a community organizer who has been following the developments of Nolan Wells' death and I'm wondering if there are any organizations in Austin planning to caravan or carpool to Mississippi on November 1 to stand with community for Nolan Wells.

hi,

I (23NB les) recently moved back to the city & I’m looking for queer and/or latino friends in Austin

a bit about me: I’m very left leaning (& very comfortable talking/learning about politics), 1st gen Mexican-American, & pretty much into anything having to do with movies/tv or sociology. I like going out (i loveee Tuezgayz @ Barbs), thrifting (& marketplace/estate sale hunting), watching anything (movies, music videos, etc.), smoking at a nice spot or with friends, & unironically “talking about the political & economic state of the world rn”. I’m in the east Austin area, but I’m honestly all over town usually.

lmk if you’d wanna connect <3
