Meet people interested in Glasgow, the west of Scotland and Scottish life more generally. Join relaxed conversations about everyday life, football, music, culture and whatever people happen to be talking about.
Chat Buddy is a moderated 16+ community. Guest access is available.
A city with plenty to talk about
Chat with people interested in Glasgow and the surrounding area
Glasgow has a strong identity built around humour, music, sport, nightlife, culture and everyday city life. Online chat gives people another way to meet, talk and share conversation without needing to be in the same part of the city.
Glasgow and nearby towns
Depending on who is online, conversations may include people from Glasgow itself as well as places such as Paisley, Clydebank, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Motherwell.
Relaxed live conversation
There is no fixed subject. Join a conversation, meet new people and see where the discussion goes.
Part of a wider community
Glasgow Chat sits alongside Chat Buddy's UK, Irish and other location-based communities, so there is always somewhere else to explore.
What people might talk about
Football, music, nightlife and everyday Glasgow life
Glasgow conversations can move quickly from sport and music to local life, work, relationships, television, travel and general chat. You do not need a specialist interest to join in.
Not only the city centre
Conversation can stretch across Glasgow and beyond
A Glasgow-focused chat does not mean everybody has to live within the city boundary. People may have connections through work, university, family, football, music or simply an interest in Glasgow and Scotland.
Greater Glasgow
Meet people connected with Glasgow and neighbouring communities across the wider urban area.
Scotland-wide conversation
People from other parts of Scotland can still join the conversation, and you can move easily into broader UK chat whenever you want.
Glaswegians further afield
People who grew up around Glasgow but now live elsewhere can also take part and keep a connection with familiar conversation.
