How do I find a leisure partner?
On BuddyMe, you open a Loop — e.g., "Open for hiking this weekend". It appears in the feed of people nearby. Whoever wants to join taps "I'm in" and is in. No swiping, no browsing classifieds. Free, no dating.
Why It's Less Fun Alone
Some things are simply better with company:
Concerts and Events
Going to a concert alone? Possible — but together it's an experience. Share the excitement, talk about it after, celebrate together.
Sports and Outdoor
Hiking, climbing, jogging — with a partner you motivate each other. And in an emergency, someone's there.
Trying New Things
Cooking class, stand-up paddling, exploring a new city — together you dare more.
Regularity
Alone, you often can't be bothered to go out. With a fixed plan, you get out and experience something.
Activities to Find Leisure Partners For
Whether a sports partner, culture companion, or just someone for coffee — on BuddyMe you'll find people for everything.
Why Loops Work Better Than Classifieds
Traditional leisure partner platforms work like bulletin boards: you post an ad and hope someone responds. BuddyMe flips that around.
Say What You Want to Do — Not Who You Are
A Loop is not a profile. You say: "Open for hiking this weekend" or "Looking for cinema company tonight." The focus is on the activity, not self-presentation.
Today First
The feed orders Loops by day. Today's Loops are at the top, followed by this week, the weekend and everything later.
Sorted by Proximity, Not by Chance
The algorithm sorts Loops by real distance — not by signup date. Whoever is near you and looking for the same thing right now appears first.
Your Buddies See It First
Your buddies and people who have been out with you before see your new Loop before everyone else.
Small groups, not big events
Every Loop is a small group: two to eight people, four by default — perfect for game nights, hiking groups, or pub crawls. Everyone lands in the same group chat.
Safety Isn't a Feature — It's the Foundation
Protected Chat
You chat in the app until you meet – no need to share contact details. Settle time and place in the chat, everything else when you meet.
Photo Verification
Users can verify their photo live. Verified profiles show a tick.
You decide who joins
Set your Loop to "On request". Then you see every join request before someone is in. Women can also open it to women only.
Block & Hide
Block with one tap, and you won't end up in the same Loop again. Or quietly hide someone without confrontation. Our team reviews reports.

Hallo ihr Lieben, wir sind Matthias (29) und Tamara (26) und wohnen in Gallneukirchen (nähe Linz). Wir möchten endlich wieder neue Freundschaften schließen. Im Laufe der letzten Jahre haben wir uns viel auf uns konzentriert und leider einige Kontakte verloren – das möchten wir jetzt gerne ändern. Wir suchen aufgeschlossene Menschen oder Paare, mit denen wir gemeinsame Erlebnisse teilen, lachen können und echte Verbindungen entstehen lassen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a leisure partner?
Someone you do activities with — sports, culture, going out, or just coffee. No romantic relationship, just having fun together.
How is BuddyMe different from leisure partner platforms?
On platforms, you post an ad and wait. On BuddyMe, you open a Loop with activity, timeframe, and location — it appears in the feed of people nearby. Whoever wants to join taps "I'm in".
Can I find leisure partners for free?
Yes. BuddyMe is free — open Loops, join other people's, and write in the Loop chats. Premium makes your Loops more visible.
Is it safe to meet strangers through an app?
BuddyMe has safety as its foundation: photo verification detects fake profiles, every profile is moderated, and you never have to share contact details in chat. You can confirm every join request yourself, and women can open Loops to women only.
Is BuddyMe a dating app?
No. No swiping, no romantic intentions. You open a Loop for an activity and meet people looking for the same. Women can restrict their Loops to "Women Only."
Are there leisure partners for 40+, 50+, or 60+?
Yes. All age groups are active on BuddyMe. Your Loop appears to people near you, sorted by distance, not by age.
How do I find a sports partner?
Open a Loop for your sport — running, climbing, tennis, or cycling. Sports partners nearby who are planning the same thing right now see it and join. No browsing classifieds, no swiping.
Is BuddyMe a leisure partner platform?
BuddyMe is the modern alternative to classic leisure partner platforms. Instead of searching through ads, you open a Loop, and fitting leisure partners nearby join it — for sports, culture, concerts, or just a coffee.
