I think this is pretty solid advice. If you’re attractive and charismatic enough to get laid outside of an anime convention, you can get laid at a con. If you’re not you should probably hit the gym and pick up healthy habits, and work on treating your mental illnesses and cultivating an interesting personality by getting hobbies, until you are.

When I was at Katsucon this weekend I saw a guy who did such an amazing job cosplaying one of my favorite characters that had I been single I would’ve pulled him aside and offered to blow him on the spot. But only as long as he kept the costume on.

NTA but being myself involves not lifting and being too shy to talk to anyone. I've been to cons before, but I never approach any cosplayer and even though I would want to cosplay I'm not too comfortable with people approaching me or stopping me for pictures. Maybe I would feel better if the cosplay did a good job of hiding my identity. I'm not ugly or fat either. It's actually the only thing I have going for me.
>Still virgin, newly a wizard
>No crew
>No confidence to just go to a con without a crew.

A lot of things in OPs link just aren't me. I'm also not super into anime, I'm more of a comic guy. And as someone with Aspergers, the article called me out and is absolutely right. People who go to cons may struggle to socialize. It helps knowing that others are like you, but it also is harder to communicate basic stuff when both people struggle. Make it a group, and oh no!

I'm also somewhat homophobic and transphobic. I can talk to them and treat them like people. Cons have been co-opted as safe spaces for LGBTQ now and I wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable but once those expressions are pushed out into the open, I get uncomfortable. I can talk to a gay man just fine, but if he hit on me, I would never want to talk to him again. I can't help that I'm straight. Like people can be comfy at a con, but why does it also have to turn into a pride event? I just want to be able to nerd out without anything else going on.

>“Escalate physically” means, if there’s real interest, start gauging her comfort levels with small, non-intrusive gestures like a light touch on the arm or on the shoulder. Does she seem comfortable and reciprocate, or does she seem uneasy or pull away? Pay attention to her responses that come in the form of her behavior. If she pulls away, dial it back, give her outs, and continue to gauge her comfort by subtly seeing if she wants to continue the interaction.

You get laid at con the same way you get laid anywhere else, which is find someone who finds you attractive and is dtf. Learn the signs of someone being interested in you. You can greatly increase your chances by hitting the gym and not dressing like a slob, as this will decrease the time it takes to find said person who considers you attractive.

Getting laid is purely a numbers game. Most of it is learning covert ways to detect attraction in casual conversation so that it doesn't look like you are creeping on people.

Big difference between having sex and having sex with someone actually desirable. Most of girls who'd be into this are skuds, and most con guys in general are absolutely disgusting. If you want an example look at any cons 21+ page on facebook, it's the same circle of stooges in literally every single one, and no one actually cool or worthwhile hangs out with them for good reason. Likewise most if not all of the attractive girls will be actively grossed out if seen with them.

Be in shape, have decent social skills (including being able to read the room) don't be ugly & have a good cosplay. There's your formula. If you do it well enough they'll come to you (probably the safest route to go considering how crybully the comm is)

I think I can get laid at anime cons easier than outside of anime cons (exceptions being swingers shit or sex parties lol). So I'm iffy about that. But in my case I think it was more "I didn't care about shit outside of cons" (well still don't honestly).

Looking for party cons yea, I dunno about cosplay you can probably get by well enough in wearing con clothes. Or even normie shit works too lol.

For Crews eh I guess you can do this all by yourself (set up the party room and get the alcohol yourself and give out the info yourself) but the crew helps

Definitely get the main hotel the parties are at. Note some cons don't exactly have a primary hotel so you'll have to scout there or ask around which hotel all the parties are held at (or most of them, or the 2-3 where they are at)

For alcohol yea, being that. Honestly I tend to halfass that, remember the room is the general bottleneck, get the room first and tell people to go to the parent that covers a lot of the alcohol issues.

Also being other party implements if you can kek

It's a con imma be annoying. also yea lots of queer people pretty chill I guess.

Like I said maybe it's different other places, but out here my experience is that people at cons are just a lot busier and more stressed out, everything's crowded as fuck and everybody's running from photoshoot to photoshoot, or trying to make it to a booth or panel on time, or whatever, and you just don't get those relaxed laid-back opportunities to chat somebody up anymore.

Is this real? No, an AI wrote it. Is it valid advice? I'm a wizard, so I don't know, feel free to stop reading here.

While I don't know if it's valid advice or whatever, I do want to address something relating to getting laid at anime cons. What I've noticed lately (probably because I finally got some self confidence at the ripe young age of 29) is that the place where (seemingly) single women are the most likely to try to talk with me is at anime cons. I've had several attempts at going to bars and clubs before, what has happened 100% of the time was that the few women that showed up were always with boyfriends, so these traditional places to meet singles (and even then places that are usually considered secondary places to do so because you're likely to get low quality matches this way) can't really be relied on for this purpose anymore. Something you often hear about in general, not just PUA circles, is that going to hobby events is a good way to meet women, so I guess attending anime cons if you're a weeb counts as using this strat if you're out on the prowl.

At cons I've had a significantly easier time talking to women than anywhere else, probably because I often use weeb shit as a crutch to meet new people. But I've also had women try to get me to notice them at cons too, I just couldn't reciprocate because for a long time my self esteem was nonexistent (maybe this year though since I've been lifting!). So from the autistic point of view of someone who's been approached the most at cons and just fumbled each encounter, hypothetically cons are good places to get laid at.

(2/2)

All of this however, while sounding nice, has some bad implications for the anime con scene as a whole. I've seen stats that right now two thirds of American men are single, to where even Chads are starting to miss out on sex. Anime's current popularity is at the point where the normiest normies are tuned in to at least the basic Shounen slop. Once word gets out that anime cons are the new bars (as people tried to do with gyms several years ago before everyone figured out it was a bad idea), the entire atmosphere of conventions will change from those two thirds flooding con floors, and anons like >>10903534 and >>10903546 will find themselves surrounded by strangers they have no way of having proper discussions with, if not cast out of the community entirely for not attending cons specifically to chase skirts. I noticed one of the cons in my usual yearly rotation had a dating panel in 2019, but post-covid I'm starting to see more cons have dating panels all three days, so I imagine that in five years some cons might even be completely centered around weeb dating panels. Maybe I'll be a dad by then and won't be attending cons anymore to see them end up like that.

>> No.10904270

>>10903563
This seems like a basic lesson on consent as sexual assault is not an area where you want to go by it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
You can be suggestive, assertive or aggressive
the difference is offering, asking or doing
In this case consider it
>Would you like me to
>I'd like to / Can I
>Just doing it
In this case I would actually say the correct phrase should have been "I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable?" and you have the chance to re-engage based on the response.

>>10904263
To be honest, normies using cons as a hookup zone is a bad sign. Dating panels are a containment area to mitigate the situation. The fact that cons are having them all 3 days now shows how bad the problem has gotten. Some women just want to be left alone to have fun on their own so let them.

As for the article itself, there is some solid advice in there, but I dislike how dependent on alcohol it is. If you need to get a girl drunk to have sex with her there's a bigger problem. A lot of neurodivergent people can't drink due to their meds. Never forget the other social lubricant, money. I'm not talking about prostitution but if that girl who you get to walk around the dealers room is squeeing about that plushie or wall scroll but isn't buying it, it's probably because she can't afford it so buying it for her as a gift gets you a lot of good boy points. If she's planning on eating coffee pot ramen and you can offer her a decent meal at a restaurant that goes a long way. If she's in a stuffed room and you have a solo suite, that's also very inciting. Just remember she doesn't owe you anything just because you bought something for her, it's more along the lines of show her a good time and she'll show you one in return.

As somebody who's been going to cons since 2001, I've already watched this happen once around 2010 or so. There was a very noticeable generational change, felt like it happened almost overnight, when cons went from being mostly populated by pretty hardcore fans who watched everything fansubbed and were mostly into more mature anime, and who were mostly relative outcasts, to being flooded by much more "normal" people whose only real interest in anime was very mainstream kid-oriented stuff that had been on domestic TV, Pokemon being by far the most prominent example. That was also the point, I think, where the idea of "guys who just go to cons to party and get laid" really entered the collective consciousness and changed the whole vibe.

Now that I think about it, it might have been hyperbole for me to say "all three days" when I don't actually remember people putting dating panels on Sundays. Still, seeing the two most active days of a con have speed dating or "speed friending" panels is worrisome.

>Never forget the other social lubricant, money
I don't think that strat is as dependable as you think it is these days. This is basically the mindset that simps have when they give their entire paychecks away to camgirls on Twitch.

>>10904326
Dating apps used to be better. These days, a lot of the matches I get are just women looking for an ego boost instead of women actually wanting something serious (or casual). But like you said, apps have their own problems.

>>10904330
It might have happened and you just didn't realize it. Women will usually not talk to guys unless they find them attractive (but not necessarily if they're attracted to them), so if someone ever tried getting a game in with you or asked you about something random they were probably trying to at least keep you around. And if that hasn't happened, then unironically start hitting the gym and grooming your face because you're probably either too fat or too skinny.

>>10904272
2010 was around the time when The Big Bang Theory's damage on society really started to kick in, so I'm not surprised to hear that its damage spread to the con community as well. Though having said that I don't really have anything to compare it to since I only started going to cons myself in 2014 since I had my own car by then and didn't need to ask my parents to take me to awkward places like cons. But I think in 2010 you didn't have society suffering as much as it does now with the aforementioned 2/3 of men being single, so while there were more normies you didn't see cons turning into the girlfriend stores they're starting to become post-covid.

I was in a relationship 2008-2013 and it ended badly enough that I was pretty closed off for a couple of years after that so it's hard for me to exactly outline the changes, all I know is that 2015 was a very different world from 2008. What I will say is that dating and hookups were absolutely parts of cons prior to that, so in a way they were a "girlfriend store" back then too, but the standards were very different and I think girls in the scene were a lot more willing to look past a dude being awkward or whatever, and imo were more assertive about it too, but I'm also old and past the point of hoping not to die alone so I can't really speak for what it's like among people who are the age I was in the 2000s.

A lot of what was in that article is true. Universal like being in good shape, having good hygiene and not being a sperg lord who says annoying or weird things are rules to get you laid everywhere. As far as cons go, being in cosplay is a big one, having a crew and booze and all else are all correct too, but the article omits one thing, and it’s a big one, and that’s digital presence. Imho I’m surprised the author left out such an integral part of the process. You can have all those things in the article above but if she goes on your IG and sees a bunch of sperg memes and Pepe’s it’s going to turn her off just as quick. Try to curate your Instagram, try not to have memes you screenshotted as actual posts, make sure there’s some pics of you having fun both at cons and outside of them. Adventurous posts like hiking or being out on a boat have worked for me personally. Having a few posts where you look good but it isn’t totally obvious you’re trying too hard is also a plus, maybe a selfie of you and the boys on the town or you with some kind of main focus in the background (ie: mural, art piece, roller coaster etc) Having a follower to following ratio is always a plus but it’s not totally necessary. Also be sure to have one or two social justice stories every now and then, even if you don’t believe a word of it and think it’s retarded, on the flip side don’t spam SJ posts either though. Respond to girls stories with meaningful input about her work or a question about something related to cosplay. Sneak a compliment in there if you can but don’t be brazen about it or don’t make it the focus of the message. After a bit of back and forth messages and getting to know one another try light teasing if you sense flirting, emphasis on LIGHT though.

It wasn't just The Big Bang Theory, it's just that saying that it was because of it is funny. Basically in the late 00's companies realized they could make a lot of money marketing nerd shit to normies, so you saw video games becoming more casual, anime being promoted way more heavily, and what The Big Bang Theory was doing was basically a symptom of that, but also contributed to "normalizing" nerd culture.

So what happened is a bunch of normies invaded nerd spaces (to the delight of companies organizing them) who didn't give a shit about anything, which disrupted said spaces heavily since being a nerd is all about giving too much of a shit about things. In regards to /cgl/, you saw a bunch of stacies enter the cosplay scene (sometimes not even cosplaying a character they like but just one that looks hot that they don't know anything about) since it's an easy place to get attention from guys and the costumes could be built from high quality components very easily now. What ended up happening is girls who used to bully the girls who were already in the cosplay scene are dominating it now (I've read a bunch of people's posts on here before about this specific scenario).

I don't know about BBT specifically, I've gone out of my way to avoid it as much as possible but from what little I've seen it seemed very anti-nerd if anything, the whole show was about making fun of nerds for being nerds and any "victories" the main characters had were in spite of them being nerds rather than because of it. It never really used humor that was actually funny to nerds either, the jokes were always "haha what a loser he referenced Star Trek," not that the reference itself was relevant or funny if you got it. That said I know a lot of people took it differently and you've got a lot of fans in the scene now, but every one of those people I've ever known was a vapid moron with a very shallow interest in actual nerd stuff.

But to each their own. Back in my club days I probably racked up a decent body count myself.

woman here and i also did not have instagram for most of my life, until i regularly started going to cons. i would tell people i didn’t have instagram and also get The Look, and it eventually dawned on me that saying i didn’t have ig came off as “i have instagram but i don’t want to give my handle to you and i want this interaction to end”. after downloading instagram, interactions have been much more positive, even though i only have one post.

alternatively, you can always say “sorry, i don’t have instagram, but here’s my discord/number/email if you’d like to keep in touch.” i’ve found that people respond negatively to people with no instagram because they perceive it as rejection, not because they genuinely care if you’re active and popular on social media. though as a male your experience may differ somewhat.

Because it never means more of the stuff existing fans want, and in fact usually results in a decline in that stuff as producers go chasing the larger normie market. It's more obvious in games where everything has to be dumbed down for an audience that'll only spend 20-30 hours in one game and drop it 6 weeks after launch (that's not speculation btw, straight from one of the major publisher heads in an interview I read a while back) but it happens in other media too, including anime.

This reads like incredibly basic common sense, but it can't be if so many fail to believe it.

Today I met up with a "friend" I had been chatting online for the past two months, the idea was to go to a sort of weekly anime con in my county and have fun

So we ended up meeting and I was almost instantly disgusted by this guy. It was like a pure biological rejection and it made the entire thing extremely awkward because I could barely contain my disgust.

The guy wasn't fat but covered in black clothes, jeans and a shitty sweater, wouldn't take off the hood in the ENTIRE TIME (we're in fucking summer here) but something about his voice, face or overall aura just gave me an extreme disgust, he wasn't mean, just awkward.

No, I'm not a girl, I'm a straight guy and I know I shouldn't care how a friend looks but... I was so disgusted. All I could think about was that I have a complete total awkward freak following me around.

There was a moment where he touched my shoulder and I had like an instinctive rejection. He would also use internet slang (that I also use) but irl, and somehow that would made me puke inside

I don't know guys, what happened? I know people who are into anime/vidya are sometimes freaky, maybe fat, whatever, but not everyone I mean people in the con seemed way less awkward than this guy, cosplayers and all but this guy had an aura that was putting me off from the first moment I saw him, much more than any of the people in there or whatever.

I feel like I'm kinda a normal person (keyword kinda) who likes anime/vidya (shit I even love bjd dolls) but having this kind of experience makes me feel completely out of place.

As far as I can tell, the community still prefers subs. I know a few people that are dub enjoyers, but most of them are either turbo-normies who just don't care or people with a learning disability that can't read fast. I'd say out of the people I know who are really into anime (watch shit regularly, are at least aware of what is currently airing, keep up with manga, etc.), 99% watch with subs. Japanese VA's also always draw huge crowds at the conventions I've been to, so I don't know what you're going on about when you say that "sub VA's" get smaller crowds.

That's a chronic problem with dating advice in general, all the advice you usually get is "here is how to meet this type of girl", but when it comes to the core issue of knowing how to turn an acquaintance into a relationship you're stuck with a lot of "draw the rest of the fucking owl".

Observe other guys who are flirting and seem to be successful. Remember the lines and approach they take. You can straight up copy lines if they fit the context. And overall, you gotta practice. Not all girls are the same but often similar approaches work and you can use them repeatedly with different girls. Remember what works, as in what they smile at or are receptive to and continue that. Stuff that doesn't work, annoys them or disinterests them, don't do again.

PUA literature tries solving this with manipulation tactics, which just makes me think you need to be a psychopath to actually get a GF.
That's because HUAs can only give you tips, not a complete roadmap. Every person is different which is why you need to fill in the blanks.

>This one actually happens to me a bunch, I was talking to a girl at a con but didn't try anything because I assumed she was taken (even though she seemed to be there by herself), later on I saw her at a dating panel.
Approaching the subject of finding out if a girl is single and looking is difficult to do without coming off as a creep. Once again, speed dating panels are a containment zone to mitigate the problem of dudes hitting on every chick they see so if your con has one, go to it because you know these girls are single and looking.

>You're partially right since nowadays it's very easy to self-publish your own games and animations, so it's easy to surround yourself with indies if you hate mainstream shit. What normies are taking away from us is the community, as I mentioned in the post you're replying to.
That's why I said conventions aside. Staffing at cons or going to local cosplay meetups is a good way to restore the sense of community. Normies only invade the big events, not the small ones. Most of the people volunteering/running conventions do so for a feeling of contributing to the community, which is where the con senpai thing comes from.

How is buying a club slut a drink so much different than buying a weeb girl a wall scroll? The club slut was probably going to get another drink anyway so you're just saving her money.

I know I talk a lot about targeting younger girls with no money, but that because they are abundant at anime cons. So many college aged people are broke and spent all of their budget on their cosplay, con badge, hotel room and travel expenses. That leaves them with little money to do things like go out and eat or buy things in the vendor hall. That's why a small gift or a decent meal goes a long way.

>>10905054
>Where is thr line between flirting and being a creep?
>Mostly whether or not she likes it. That's why it's smart to start slow.
This is correct. Start by complementing her cosplay, not her body. From there you can start a conversation with simple inobtrusive questions like where she's from or talk about the show she's cosplaying from. From there you need to read the conversation and body language. Is she complimenting you and asking questions about you or just responding to yours? Is she smiling? Is her stance defensive or open? Is she getting close to speak to you or keeping her distance? Are her arms to her side or crossed? Once again this is an art that takes practice so don't be afraid of rejection and take the hint when it's time to move on.

As much as I hate the cosplay community and their predatory victim complex bullies you should expect to be blamed if your "strategy" is to basically grift and coerce women into sex and especially if this is the only reason you are present. Thats the definition of predatory behavior like the crybullies who just go there to fish for some poor retard to blame.

>But muhhh wombmin want it like that.

There may be some who do but the question is do you really want to connect in an intimate way with a person who shifts all responsibility, even for her own wellbeing, onto you and basically expects you to violate her personal space, privacy and ignore social conduct to even consider you? Do you actually want to be vulnerable infront of such a person? If so you deserve what you get because you are essentially a predator getting eaten by a bigger one if you end up with a rape charge.

>B-bit how should penis get wet then?

Just accept not fucking ten different girls wherever you go and stop enabling crybullies and dyed hair problem glasses with your low IQ behavior swarming thots with your simping. In a society where everyones equal you have to force people to be a self responsible adult and if they dont want to fuck so be it.

no. no. do NOT try to pick up girls at grocery stores or on public transit. this is the easiest way for women to think you're a creep/stalker and avoid you at all costs. "cold approaching" really only works for guys who are ryan gosling level attractive, and even so, i still fucking hate this every time it happens to me (and every other woman i know feels the same).

any "unavoidable daily routine" setting is completely inappropriate for picking up women desu. instead, practice at a bar, a coffee shop, a market, a park, or at events in your city. i personally think cons are a great place to practice flirting for the first time. there is a certain base level of autism to be expected at any nerd convention, so you'll typically get more grace there than you would anywhere else.

nta but basically none of these are viable where I live. Cons and maybe things like music festivals are basically the only places where you'd even want to consider approaching women, and even those are pretty iffy. Among couples I know, probably 90% met organically through school, work, or friends in one way or another (private parties etc.) and the other 10% met online, mostly NOT through dating sites.

On the few dates I've been on (some were second dates!), I never figured out how to escalate. Like obviously you don't just smooch someone right away, but for a sperg it's hard to read the room.

i went through a long period of dry dick (lost virginity at 25, didn't start regularly having sex until 35) and it took me a solid few years of grinding dating apps and dating apps dates until it started to click. it kinda does boil down to "draw the rest of the owl", you can read all the tips in the world but you need practice
if you're on a date she already likes you pretty much unless you fuck it up so don't sweat it
but if you're on a first date don't feel too pressured to escalate until you get more practice. i've had girls not want to kiss on a first date (but still want another date), and girls i've banged on a first date, but also girls who seemed downright offended i didnt make any sort of moves on a first date. there's girls who are fine with kissing in public and there's ones who won't but still want to bang, etc
but second date for sure she's into you so fire away. start off with lewd hand holding, like, as soon as you say hello grab her hand and then lead here where you're going. you don't have to be all handsy but its gonna feel weird for her if you don't put out some of energy that says "i wanna bang you". seriously sometimes you gotta just shut off the part of your brain that is filled with a bunch of bullshit stuffed in there by modern society, and just return to monke. i got way more in touch with my sexuality when learned to let go of thinking and be a sexual monkey man. like i said, second date is pretty much as GREEN of a go ahead light as you're ever gonna get, so just lose those inhibitions (of course always pay attention to her feedback and simmer down if she's not receptive).
that being said, my problem is kinda the same but a different level as yours. i have no problem these days escalating and getting to sex with girls that are basically "preselected" (90% of the time we met through dating apps)
but i have no idea how to hit on girls at cons and i feel like i would come off a huge creep if i ever tried

Any public area is mostly the same. Just ask walk up and ask her name. Then just talk about her. People and especially chicks like to talk about themselves.

>Everywhere in California sucks for getting laid if you're not a gigachad.
Honestly in the modern age everywhere sucks. It's called the male loneliness epidemic. There are more men interested in hook-ups than women and on top of that even women who are into hooking up aren't interested in hooking up as often as men. As a result, the top men hook up more often with more partners leaving the rest of the field barren. If you want the top 10% of women you need to be in the top 2.5% of males. Someone who isn't obese (on average about 60% of women) you have to be in the top 15% of males. Below that you have to be willing to settle when hooking up.

That would be if we were playing strictly by the number and only account for people hooking up based on relative attractiveness alone. When surveyed women didn't even put fitness in their top 3 things they were looking for from a partner. The thing the survey said women valued the most was an "emotional connection." That means beyond feeling safe and comfortable around you, she also needs a reason to like you over everyone else there. The big problem with this is a lot of those things that would create that "emotional connection" elsewhere fizzles at a con. You both like anime? So does everyone else there. You both like cosplay? Guess how many other people there do too. You're cosplaying her husbando? Yeah, you and how many other guys. All of these things that would huge ice breakers elsewhere and you're still at square one.

This is true and the result of a couple of things. I think the two biggest factors are the affordable housing crisis that keeps people living with their parents well into their late 20s.
>you wanna go back to my parent's house and have sex?
The other one being younger people are socially stunted from the pandemic shutdowns and have gotten used to staying home and not doing anything, which makes it hard to make real in-person interactions.

I hear this a lot, but LA must be the same situation on steroids because I find that the level of interest I get absolutely skyrockets every time I go anywhere else, and I also get far more interest here from recent transplants or temporary visitors than long-time locals too. That's also been the case way back to the 2000s for me, so it's not just about this most recent situation, and the infamous "Women of LA" music video parodying the whole situation was more than 11 years ago now too.

California has always had sky high housing prices, which is probably why LA was ahead of the curve on the problem. From a quick google search the housing prices in LA and NYC are fairly similar, but suburb housing prices in NY compared to CA are drastically cheaper.
>I find that the level of interest I get absolutely skyrockets every time I go anywhere else, and I also get far more interest here from recent transplants or temporary visitors than long-time locals too.
Sex tourism among women is a thing. Women looking for one-night stands prefer to do so with people that they aren't going to see again. I have far more luck when traveling to other states for cons than I do at my local conventions, but then again, I'm fairly well known in my local con scene because I've staffed at cons and show up to quite a few of the local cosplay meet-ups.

I'm aware of that, but I've also ended up in several relationships with out of town women, it's the main reason I've lived other places. I'll also mention that I was a virgin until 20, couldn't get the time of day from women, moved out of LA for college and literally lost my virginity on the first day and then dated and slept with several more girls, some who weren't even students at my college, within the first year without even putting in an effort. Came back to LA, two more years of nothing, then I met a girl at an out of town con and ended up moving to live with here, and so on. This place is a fucking black hole.

1. Fuck off, we're full.
2. You're not gonna find shit up here for a number of reasons. 95% of women are either taken, gay, or both and the other 5% are terrified of their own shadow. You'd be moving into a low-trust city where everyone minds their own business so hard they don't even talk to their own "friends", assuming they even have any. Seattleites are incredibly flaky. On the off chance you *do* meet someone talkative, they'll insist on hanging out again "sometime" and even leave you with some form of contact but you'll never hear from them again no matter how much you reach out.

This. I'm 27, and I would have probably lost my virginity by now if I had this mindset. The pandemic years have flown by. It's not too late, but it does hurt a lot being alone. Girls want the same kind of love and attention that guys do, so it's something to keep in mind when pursuing someone. Just gotta read how the other person reacts. I've got a decent self image, so for me, it's just a matter of putting myself out there and talking to girls I'm attracted to,

If I wanted to meet someone at a con, the best thing I think I should do to do is talk about their cosplay. Maybe meet someone there at a party or any other drinking setting.

This year, I've got to put in the work get myself laid. I recently found out an online friend lives near me, but I can't ever imagine getting in bed with them, because they're actually ugly lol. Know what you want.
