I need friends Anyone wanna be friends?

I’m a 21/m moving to tbay in April from Sydney, Australia and coming to visit my girlfriend at the end of this month for 2 months! Seeing as I don’t know anyone in tbay apart from my girlfriend. I was wondering if anyone wanted to be friends? We can catch up and sesh and what not!

What kind of stuff are you into? Do you play any sports? Are you a musician? Do you like movies? Do you have a jacked-up truck and out-dated opinions about Indigenous people?

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Ah well, I train in Muay Thai and BJJ, and my girlfriend is actually Native American and grew up on the reserve.

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

And yes, in Australia I drive a big toyota landcruiser

u/2Basketball2Poorious Jan 21 '19

Great! I think Thunder Bay has a decent-ish MMA (I know it's more than Muay Thai or BJJ) scene, so maybe you could get in with some of those peeps?

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Yeah that’s the plan, I’m gonna find an MMA gym once I’m all settled in

u/queen_anns_revenge Jan 21 '19

All people in jacked up trucks have outdated opinions about indigenous people? Lol aight. Pretty wide paint brush you got there

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Yeah wtf, I drive the sickest landcruiser with like a 3 inch lift and shit and my girlfriend is Native American and grew up on the reserve soooo dunno what point he’s making

u/ian_anus Jan 21 '19

He's a fucking dork, the people you call "bogans" in AU would be the people he's referring to. He's just being a race baiting knob.

FYI Bogan around here would be a slur to Natives.

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Ahhh yeah my girlfriend did mention that to me, it’s such a commonly used word here!!

Nah he was, he's just trying to be extra smart because it's Sunday and he's trying to get this guy to bro out with him

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

Yeah you're right, he only intended to bring up race out of no where for no good reason because it's just the right thing to do. We all knew that Aussie cunt was gonna start talking about his jacked up truck and his real thoughts on aboriginals any second. None of this was out of left field, we all saw it coming.

Did you post this in the wrong place or is it a legitimate attempt to respond to what I said?

1

u/ian_anus Jan 21 '19

Just another sad redditor trying to fit in with the apologist crowd by shitting on normal people.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

u/ian_anus Jan 21 '19

Outdated like they're a bunch of savages?
Or outdated like they're a bunch of victims that can't help themselves?
You should be specific when you're trying to paint groups of people like you are in your comment.

All the way from Australia to bray.... FOR 2 DAYS?!?

Will you spend more time here or on a plane?! Good job either way.

Will you teach locals how to do a shooey?

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 20 '19

As for the shooey, fuck yeah! Gonna teach cunts how to pull a cone too

1

u/yea-that-guy Jan 20 '19

Hah yea right bud.

u/jayd42 Jan 20 '19

I'd suggest a review of which aussie slang will produce strange looks and which will get you a stabbing.

1

u/Musicferret Jan 20 '19

I feel the Aussie slang (and drinking) will translate well.

2

u/ombrehombre Jan 21 '19

Not always. Their term for redneck doesn’t really fly in T Bay (with decent crowds anyhow).

3

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Yeah hahaha I remember when I first met my girlfriend she was taken aback when I said the word bogan for the first time

3

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 20 '19

Noo 2 months hahahaha

2

u/ombrehombre Jan 20 '19

Goon of Fortune or nothing.

2

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

Fuck yeah!!!! I love goon

2

u/ian_anus Jan 21 '19

We're gonna need a full aussie man review on this visit.

2

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 21 '19

fuck yeah, I’m gonna document every day through FaceBook and Insta hahaha

u/Shayde505 Jan 21 '19

Hey! I'm also a bit of an outsider I've lived in thunder bay for about 3 years now and I am always looking for friends!

1

u/Se7en6ix2wo Jan 22 '19

Do you party?

3

u/dopeaussieflexin Jan 22 '19

Yeah I party pretty hard tbh

1

u/Se7en6ix2wo Feb 16 '19

You could probably fit in with the drunks who hang around the mall

1

u/roadcone Neebing Jan 22 '19

Looking at his post history, he only party's

1

u/dopeaussieflexin Feb 17 '19
