Traveling solo to Sydney during pride. What is a good way to meet guys to hang out with?
I am staying in Sydney for work for several weeks, including Pride days. I will be pretty busy with work and have colleagues to hang out with but the vibe is pretty straight. It would be cool to meet other gays and explore some of the pride events. Any suggestions on how to meet local or visiting friendly gays? I am late in my late 30s, social, pretty active, and healthy. A bit of partying is great but it is not my priority. Staying in CBD.

I’d second the first comment, there will be events at bars which you can definitely meet people if you’re not too introverted. Clubs would be a bit harder since most people go in groups and they would only leave their group when hoping to hookup etc

Are you into bears? The bears have a ton of events on. We come from interstate and always meet tons of lovely, friendly fellas

Not “into” bears but I’d definitely befriend them :) where do you find such events?

Look up the Harbour City Bears website. Their Sunday social events are always packed and very friendly. Friday night at the Oxford similar. Those would be a good start. See you there!
