Making friends in Singapore outside of school or work can feel a bit difficult, especially when daily life is mostly work, routines, and familiar circles.
A content creator explains that even in a busy city, you often end up seeing the same people in the same spaces. Because of that, friendships don’t always form naturally, so she began exploring social communities instead.
Event communities to show up and meet people
She discusses platforms like Tova, which host mixers, Pilates, Padel, quizzes, and casual parties that feel more like hanging out than anything formal.
She also mentions Singapore Sosh, which offers more curated lifestyle events like fitness sessions and themed dinners where people go mainly to socialize and meet others.
More casual women-only hangouts
She highlights Everyday Girl Club as a relaxed option, with simple activities like coffee walks, outdoor Pilates, and easy weekend plans. It’s low-pressure, and most people show up alone, which makes it easier to naturally start conversations.
Another community she mentions is Screaming Pigeons, which focuses on smaller, more intentional gatherings like group dinners, guided conversations, hikes, and workshops where people actually get time to talk and get to know each other properly.
What people are saying
People shared positive reactions online, with some saying they hope this kind of social community culture continues into older age groups too, especially for people who want to make friends outside of work.
There were also comments from people saying they’d love to try it, with a few already planning to sign up for events after seeing the post.
Different vibes, same idea
Overall, she shares that each community has its own feel—some more lively and social, others slower and more reflective—but all of them create an easy way to step out and meet new people in a relaxed setting.
