/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This keeps getting brought up in other threads so it probably deserves a thread of it's own.

Every straight guy I have ever known has always talked about hooking up at their first convention. If you're a socially awkward person who can't hook up with random strangers at a bar scene, it probably isn't going to happen at a convention either. You're probably also going to piss off anyone you're rooming with if you try when others are trying to sleep. The rule of 6-2-1 is not a suggestion if you want any chance of hooking up.

Girls aren't like guys. They aren't thirsty 100% of the time. Just because they're single doesn't meant they're DTF or looking for a BF. This is where reading body language becomes important. If someone starts asking personal questions about you (your name, where you live, what you do for a living) they may be interested in being friends or even more. Don't blow it by inviting them to your room immediately. Also some self awareness is important. You should know if your a fit person or a fat fedora wearing neckbeard. Take time to shower, use deodorant and do something about your breath after eating meals.
