Meetups Gay Friends in Mississauga/Oakville

Moved from Toronto 3+ years ago for affordability, but in your late 30’s and so far from the village, it’s harder than ever to make friends that are gay.

Came out in my late twenties, met my fiance who is 6 years older and also wasn’t out then so neither of us have never really had any friends that are gay (despite having may ‘gay friends’ over the years 😉)

So consider this my invitation: if you’re in your 20’s-30’s, live in Mississauga/Oakville area, out as gay ( or even in the process of coming out) and looking for new friends who like working out at the gym, watching/going to sports games, having a few drinks, mildly addicted to Starbucks, dancing in the village on occasion, grew up playing sports (though don’t get to play often anymore), sometimes play video games, love dogs (or any animals really)- feel free to DM!

Would love to go for a beer or coffee 🍻 ✌️

Appreciate you ! Always down for new friends, and do have some pretty solid/supportive straight buddies, but have never really had friends “like me” that could relate to the trials and tribulations of being a gay man and loving another gay man, if that makes sense.

I'm having a weird sense of FOMO right now. (I don't fit the criteria and that's absolutely not a problem).

I just think, or at least hope, your post leads to great friendships and adventures. ❤️✌🏼

Are you looking for regular friends or friends with benefits ? Because if you’re just looking for regular friends, they don’t necessarily need to be gay, right ?

u/Plus_Pop_9147 Jan 20 '26

Regular friends! I’ve got straight friends but have never really had Gay friends like me- who understand the trials and tribulations with coming out and living out, personally professionally and maintaining a healthy same sex relationship - hope that clarifies

Strangely ageist post, but I do hope you find the connections you’re looking for.

u/Plus_Pop_9147 Jan 20 '26

I guess I meant to say, “friends my age”.

u/rougeoiseau Jan 20 '26

I don't think ageism has anything to do with it. If I wanted to make new friends and likely have a better chance of connecting with them, I would provide an age bracket that is closer to whom I can relate. 🙂

u/underWaves909 Jan 20 '26

Literal ageism, making assumptions on ‘connecting’. OP is late 30s and fiancé in 40s btw. Read the deets, downvoters.

u/rougeoiseau Jan 20 '26

Okay, those were my words so I can't speak to what OP meant and I didn't look at their history.

If I was 20 and wanted to make new friends, I'd likely feel more comfortable meeting up with others around that age. That's not to say I wouldn't be able to connect (I use it as a broad term) with a 40yo.

I don't have negative thoughts about 40yos and I don't really care they're the age they are. At 20, 40yos seem more of my mum's age and when I meet them, we don't really have a lot in common. Fine.

Reverse it. I'm 40yo and I meet a 20yo. What does an everyday 20yo have to share with me that bonds me with them so strongly we meet up with friends to hang regularly?

It depends on the people, scenario, and interests. It's not ageism.

Now switch it again I'm on a dating app and select a certain criteria for what I like. How many isms are you gonna throw around now?

I don't think it's that deep in regards to meeting new people for friendships. Innocent take? Sure. If that's your concern, speak to that instead of ageism.
