I saw it in a couple of people profiles, but I am new so I am not sure what it means in the context of this site

Activity partner, to me, means someone to do things with. Examples can be: Hiking, tennis, antique shopping, card games, watching movies, road trips, surfing. There are many activities.

How is that different from a friend? Is it like local proximity or what?

Activity partner and someone you have romantic feelings about can lead to a real relationship with, which is more than friends.

it aint... some people just want to meet someone to hang out with, that is the opposite sex. if your single, it is nice to do things with some one that is not family, or with friends already married.
if it blooms into something more than friendship. it also will help build a stronger relationship. that way as well.

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK.......I WILL SAY

SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVITY PARTNERS FOR

OTHERS END UP FEELING USED WHEN THEY DO NOT GET

WHAT THEY ASSUME THEY ARE GOING TO GET.....IN

OTHERS WORDS NEITHER HAVE CLEAN HANDS....

He did speak in riddles Cat, so can't really blame you.

I think he was getting at the fact that the phrase is ambiguous enough that someone or both are not going to get what they intended
