How hard is it to make friends in Atlanta as a mid-30s, single male with no connections there? I have an opportunity to move here for work, but am a bit worried about meeting friends since I'm not into bars / clubs. I like being active in tennis, pickleball, hiking, going to the gym, etc. Are there good avenues for not just dating, but just meeting friends in general, through interests like that in ATL? Everything else about the job, COL, etc. checks out - just worried about the social scene

They’re definitely a lot of activities / events with your interest. Most people are open to making friends especially in the city. You’ll have no problem. Feel free to ask me any questions you have. I’m a social person as well and not into clubs/bars

Easy

Live in a social building.

A bunch of midtown buildings have activities—fitness classes, parties, etc. that’s a good way to meet people.

Like others have said, Plenty of activities and clubs, be it involving co-ed sports, dog parks, churches, movie / book clubs, etc…

The one in Buckhead or Sandy Springs? Is lifetime a more social gym? I go to the gym a lot and have never met any friends there

I am in my early 30's and moved here 2 years ago. Already have more friends than I have in the city I previously lived in for 5 years. If you are outgoing and active, you will do just fine here!

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
