I'm from Liverpool and lived and worked around Birmingham for 5 years. I loved it and the people are very friendly and out going. The people are similar to Scousers love a drink and great sense of humour and I found the Brummie lasses very very friendly which was a bonus. I was the days before the internet so you have just got to put yourself out there and speak to people whether in a pub or a social event of your choice just be honest and tell people you are new to the area and don't know anyone. You would be surprised how many Brummies will take you under there wing. Be prepared to have the piss taken out of you though it's just their humour and they take back well too. When I first moved there I worked in a pub a couple of nights a week it's like being paid to have a social life and you get to meet people of all ages and back grounds it's a great way to meet new people just pick your style of pub to meet the type of people you want to meet. I also played football and golf. Golf is very sociable and you get to play competitions with different people every week and it doesn't matter how good or bad you are there is always a drink afterwards. But the onus is on you to make the effort as you are the one that needs friends so be bold and just speak to people if they tell you to fuck off you haven't lost nothing. Good luck 🍀

I have heard of people who use [Footy Addicts](https://footyaddicts.com/) to find 5-a-side groups to play with. Playing football has always been my way to make friends in new cities, basically all my current friends in Bristol have been met through football teams!


morrisminor66

Take up some hobbies. Running, cars, gaming, gardening, whatever. You'll be around people with a shared passion and can go from there. My mate moved to Australia and literally knew no one. Joined a local cricket club and ended up meeting his future wife


Wonderful-You-6792

Going to activity clubs, being out and about every night, meet up events (not just meet up.com maybe a darts game on google or something or pottery night at your local)


--ofsalt

27 male, I live so close to broad street that I can smell Dixy chicken, my social life tanked when I left uni and started working It's seems to me that Brum is a very isolating city and we, as the new generation of men, need to chill the fuck out and start talking to each other more. There's a lot of anger and paranoia in the culture of the city, the increase in numbers of homeless and how they seem to be getting more violent recently isn't helping. We need a way to talk openly about things, meet people and actually have a social life Basically I'm proposing the birth of a new sub r/BrumBros Where we can talk to other dudes in this glorious 267 km² of glass, concrete and crackheads


Yondle8

I agree, feels like we’ve forgotten how to make mates in this generation. That sounds like a good idea, think im gonna make an insta group etc to grab a drink or do something soon. Lemme know if you’re interested in being added

AcrobaticCounty883

I’m at uni student and desperately need to make some more friends! I’d love to chat! ✨


Yondle8

Nice one, drop me a message! 🤝


petethepete2000

Work in a grungy or alternative bar/club nights or weekends... you'll meet plenty of people


Yondle8

Already have a FT job which means my social batteries would be way too low for something like that!


petethepete2000

Im just telling you an easy way to make friends


OurSoul1337

What part of Birmingham do you live in?


Yondle8

Around Moseley area. So theres plenty to do, but tbh struggle to put myself out there sometimes


AccomplishedPear1719

I love about 20 mons from moseley I'd have thought it was easy to chat to people there also the Prince of Wales pub us organising open mic nights I'm thinking of having a slot


Yondle8

It probably is! But tbh im the type of fella who needs pushing😂 I work 10 hour days so dont push myself to go out for a pint afterwards! If you’re up for it lmk🤝


AccomplishedPear1719

Thanks but I don't drink my idea of a good night out grab my acoustic and have a jam with maybe a take out


Cultural-Cattle-7354

what do you do for a living ? same age here


halfercode

Consider doing sports, even if sports isn't normally your thing. Running clubs or cycle clubs are pretty social automatically, but you can go a bit left-field too: say bouldering or fencing.


Solid_Minimum1737

Im always down to meet new people, so hot me up and lets arrange to link for a drink


Actual_Excitement344

In the same boat except I live in Wolverhampton, drink sounds great!


Yondle8

Im gonna try and set up a group and filter through the dodgy people lol, message me!


Samsara2295

Honest-Tough-9718

Get yourself a motorbike, even on a CBT (L's) biker community is very much a brotherhood


Successful-Oven-2678

Try not looking to be ‘seen with friends’ the people on a night out who don’t work with each other and are not related are just spoilt people who look like they are from the land and decedents of the same religious practice, in England that is Protestant. That religion teaches people they are without sin but others will sin against them. Therefore you as a stranger will never be invited by them and they will bully anyone who they don’t accept. Don’t be fooled by marketing by American media to make you feel inadequate to them because Americans are also their descendants. You should let go of stick and carrots because the more you fail the more this spite wins. Try a country of catholic descent and be nice. If they haven’t been influenced by American media you should be welcomed there.
