New job, new neighborhood, friends who moved away? Making friends as an adult in NYC is easier with women nearby who want the same.
Sign up and take a quick selfie. A member of our moderation team checks it, so everyone inside is a verified woman.
Browse the profiles of women around you in New York, and like the ones you’d love to get to know.
Join an outing or host your own, take part in interest groups, and chat to plan the next one.
Adult friendships rarely happen by accident: no more classes or dorms to bring people together. The good news — a few simple habits make a real difference.
Friendships grow with repetition. A monthly brunch or a weekly walk with the same few women does more than one big night out.
Books, running, art, food… joining a group around an interest gives you something to talk about from the very first minute.
An hour is enough: a coffee in Astoria or a run along the Hudson River Greenway. Small plans are easy to say yes to — and easy to repeat.
Every new member is selfie-verified and approved by a moderator before she can access the app.
Report any profile, message or outing in one tap. Our team reviews reports and can warn, restrict, suspend or ban.
Your data is never sold, your precise location is never shown, and an outing’s exact address is only visible to attendees.
Ideas, not a schedule: outings are created by members, so what’s on near you varies. If you don’t see what you like, start it — that’s often how a group begins.
An easy first plan: walk, talk, and grab a coffee in Chelsea afterwards.
Post a weekend brunch and see which women nearby want to join you.
Bring a blanket and snacks — sunny Brooklyn afternoons are made for new friends.

Yes. GirlsConnect is available across the US, including all five boroughs of New York City. The app uses your location to show you women, groups and outings near you. Our US community is still growing, so what’s on near you changes from week to week — and you can always start your own outing.
Yes, GirlsConnect is free: signing up, getting verified, discovering women near you, joining groups and outings, and chatting. A free account includes 10 likes a day, 1 superlike a week, and lets you host one outing at a time for up to 5 people.

GirlsConnect is built only for platonic friendship between women — there is no other mode. Every member is selfie-verified and approved by a moderator, and the app is built around real-life plans: outings, interest groups and their chats, so a conversation can quickly turn into an actual plan.
Yes. Create an outing in a few taps — what, where, when — and women nearby can join. Each outing has a dedicated chat so attendees can organize together. A free account can host one outing at a time for up to 5 people; Plus removes those limits.
Your data is never sold. Your precise location is never shown to other members, and the exact address of an outing is only visible to registered attendees. You can report any profile, message or outing in one tap, and delete your account at any time. Details in our Privacy Policy.
