I wish I reported the creeper's ass. Alas, sketchy markets = sketchy people inside. I should have known that.

At least the old lady was cool.

Sorry for off-topic, but this has really been bothering me as I've only been seeing this happening on /cgl/.
I don't really understand why people around here are saying >be me to greentexted stories

>Are you guys like, new to this site or something?
Are you?
I've seen people start green text stories across all boards with >be me since years ago. Proof is that most of the "classic" greentext stories start with it. I think I've even seen it less on /cgl/ than other boards, but since I don't really go on other boards as much now, maybe things have changed over there. Since /cgl/ is a slow board, we don't experience big new waves of anons like the other more popular boards do so things stay the same longer on here.
As of why? I don't know. Most "memes" are pretty random.

I dress in lolita when I feel shitty to force myself to go out.
>"I can't stay inside when I look this damn cute! Get out, you lil shit!!"
Went out into public all dressed up just to go grab some stuff.
Literal silence as I pass everywhere I go.

I don't give a shit. I like dressing up and looking pretty for no reason in particular.
Plus, doing so has kinda' kicked my social anxiety's ass. Which is weird, but, hey, whatever works!

I'm the same way anon. Dressing in cute jfash (usually mori or otome-ish, lolita is too impractical for me because the poof makes me 10x clumsier) always boosts up my mood and confidence whenever I'm feeling particularly shitty, and it works because people around here are pretty accepting in general and the most I get are stares. But I know I look damn cute so the silent attention feels nice.

Also: Am I the only one whose grandparents do not like the fashion? I have read many positive stories about older people's reaction, but mine do not like it at all. My grandmother hates it, and thinks it is impractical, over the top and a waste of money... She would rather see me dressed like the other girls at my age.

One reaction I simply don't understand is laughing. I really don't understand what's funny.

Well, she'd be right.

My Gran's okay with classic and gothic, I think ott sweet weirds her out however. She thinks it looks like 'one of those fetish people'.

[Anonymous No.7517428]

>>7517405
>Thinks Lolita is impractical
>Wants you to dress like every other girl
For some reason those two things just do not make sense to me. I guess it really depends on what she means by "girls your age". I live in NorCal and girls around here don't dress in any way that seems really practical. Granted, I'm a guy and lack firsthand experience as to the practicality and cost-efficiency of short-shorts so I'm speaking from ignorance.

[Anonymous No.7517442]

>>7517420
>Well, she'd be right.

Well, of course I can see why she might think so, but I work hard for my money, I actually wear the clothes, and they make me happy. I wear mostly classic and a bit of Sailor Lolita, and keep my coords casual. No wigs, nothing OTT, too short or bright pink with pastel vomit.
But she thinks the same about my "regular" clothes too, and those are just cute dresses.

I don't know, anything outside the norm tends to offend people here in general.

I am from Germany.
Most girls my age (around 20) dress in leggings, t-shirt and jogging shoes, wer their hair in a top knot and barely any make up. Wearing any kind of dress is already considered as "kinda dressed up" by most and met with bewilderment - "Why so dressed up?? I would never have the nerve to take so much time dressing up." - Bitch I just slapped on a cute dress and some tights, and it took me 5 minutes, what do you think, I had to sew the dress myself this morning??

>Granted, I'm a guy and lack firsthand experience as to the practicality and cost-efficiency of short-shorts so I'm speaking from ignorance

Well, I do not really know what kind of shorts you mean, but in general girls wear shorts because it is easy, you do not need to worry about skirt blowing up, chub rub, and it is great to wear while it is hot because your legs are not covered.

I guess its' kind of the same around here. Dresses tend to be of the tubular variety for clubbing and most shorts are very short and tight, they get worn in almost all kinds of weather for reasons beyond my comprehension which is where I was confused. The specific shorts I'm talking about are the ones that really only cover the Hip and pelvis area. The entirety of the thighs and calves are uncovered unless the girl in question decides to wear long socks/stockings. They never struck me as very practical shorts in any weather short of the beach at the height of summer but that may be a regional thing.

[Anonymous No.7517482]

>>7517428
>cost-efficiency of short-shorts
As another guy, I can't speak from the perspective you're looking for but I imagine they're great for manufacturers since they use so little material and, going off the price tags I've seen on women's clothing, they probably make a ridiculous profit.

I also have a story of spotting a lolita in the wild for the first time.
>Be a couple days ago
>At work in our little hole-in-the-wall shop
>Not a whole lot going on, probably going to call it a day
>Suddenly, flatbed pulls up with an '09 TDI Jetta
>Oh fuck, not one of these
>Doors open
>Driver comes out of one, a loli out the other
>"So, uh, what's wrong with it?"
>"I was driving along and it just sputtered and stopped"
>I think I know where this is going
>"How long after you filled it up did this happen?"
>"I don't know, 50 miles?"
>Oh no
>No
>No way
>Get up on the truck and open the Jetta's filler cap
>Smell gas
>Almost fall off the truck losing my shit
>Tell her about how much it'll cost to fix as I'm fighting back tears

We have it sitting right next to an old Mercedes that's been in our lot for about three months. I imagine they'll look about the same by the time either of them leaves.

Women's clothing is rarely practical. Never underestimate the power of looking cute, because short-shorts look hella cute on the right body type.

I've had store employees freak out over me too. Them middle aged retail ladies.
The other day at Sears this woman was gushing over me, telling me how cute I looked. She grabbed what looked to be a stranger to turn around and ooh and ahh and me too. The stranger looked a little uncomfortable.
What's weird is that I wasn't even dressed that strangely. Sort of j-fashiony I guess. Kind of. Not really. Zettai ryouiki and a cute sweater with black maryjanes. I was actually toning it down since I thought I was attracting too much attention with my normal stuff. I guess not toned down enough.

>wolf whistles and really nasty, abusive catcalls from the balcony of a nearby apartment until we're past
>boyfriend and friend are horrified, and stop talking the rest of the way home
>no more jokes

Have had far worse harassment before, particularly while alone, but it was kind of gratifying for those two to witness that yes, it does happen, because my boyfriend insists that I must be exaggerating if I ever bring it up. "That only happens to girls in little bootie shorts and shit" responses, usually.

And generally, the good outweighs the bad. Little kids wanting to talk to the princess, or old ladies reminiscing about wearing petticoats when they were young, or whatever.

GOD I'm pissed about anyone who call women liars or over-exaggerating princesses when it comes to catcallers. Is it really so hard for someone to imagine an event if they weren't standing there? It's insulting. It's especially disappointing when women join in on the disbelief.

[Anonymous No.7517642]

Like the other anon said, women's clothing is usually shit and far from practical. I can't remember the last time anything I wore had pockets, and it's really hard nowadays to find dresses that go to my knees (I have terrible KP on my lower thighs).

And man, 'other girls your age'? The heels an clothes they wear! I asked my friend whether she was uncomfortable in heels and she said "noooo, they're sooooo cozy" but later I see her patching up blisters and twisting her ankle and shit. Please.

TDI=Volkswagen diesel engines.
Diesel engines can tolerate gasoline to varying degrees, depending on the fuel system the engine has.
The Jetta in question has the least-tolerant system in existence. Gas will seize it right the-fuck up.
In a nutshell, she fucked up half her fuel system.

Speaking as a guy I would hazard a guess at it being because I (and most of my friends) aren't dumb enough to catcall in the first place. Any guy you feel comfortable enough to talk to about this kind of stuff is also in the same kind of situation so they find it hard to believe that those kind of guys exist. Every guy knows a douchebag when they see one, they're just used to different signifiers than being catcalled. Generally the hat, the way they hold themselves or the look they give you that kind of feels like you're being sized up so they can put you in a category.

It's kind of hard to sum up what I just said in a clearer way but I guess the general idea is that guys might think,
>"There can't be THAT many guys doing that. After all I wouldn't do that."
While failing to realize that the same guys who smirk at you when you buy any game that isn't AAA flavor of the month are the guys that girls complain about. That tortured, bitter-sounding example is the most concrete way I can try and quantify them, it's more of an attitude i've come to recognize than actions that are directed at me.

Today was my first day wearing lolita outside, and man, this had to be one of the most intimidating things I've ever done. I couldn't stop fidgeting with my wig, staring at the ground to avoid the stares, and stressing about how ugly my shoes were. Anyway, here are some reactions I received:

>awkward Asian guy comes up and starts talking to my friend
>starts to get uncomforatbly close to me
>"H-Hey Anon, are you a lolita?"
>"Yes, I am"
>He stares me up and down and says "lolita is pretty hot"

Turns out my friend had absolutely no idea who this guy is. Pretty sure he doesn't even go to this school. He ended up coming back for round two.

>friend comes up to me
>"Anon, could you please button my cuff?"
>Proceed to button her cuff
>Awkward Asian guy approaches staring at us
>"Wow, this is pretty sexy."
>He watches until we finish and walks off

I was also bent down to place something in my bag and my friend noticed a brown guy staring at my bum. I don't know how that's possible with all the frills, but he did it.

I also received a lot of eyebrow raises and open mouth staring. It was pretty uncomfortable.

[Anonymous No.7517799]

I had a cute reaction from these two little girls one day. I was in a store somewhere (I think it was a grocery store or target or something, my friend and I kept going on errands runs), and the bigger of the two little girls looks up and just gasps. And the little one turns and looks, but then shyly looks away when I looked over there. Then the bigger one caught me smiling over and I waved, then she waved back. The little one then waved back at me and went back to hiding. When their mom looked up she just grinned.

Another fun story - we had a meet at a museum one day, and a man was there with his daughter (maybe around 2?) who was just in complete awe. So we waved at her and said hi, and her dad just goes, "You guys are just so pretty, she loves your dresses. Aren't they princesses, sweetie?" She just nods and smiles a little and we managed to get her to wave at us afterwards.

I appreciate you trying to help us see into the mindset. But the problem is, your explanation for the guys who call these girls liars only pisses me off more. Because the only people one can be positive don't catcall are onesself and friends. But girls aren't dealing with these guys' friends. They're dealing with random-ass strangers.
It's disappointing that they take their anecdotal evidence to such a high standard. It does not bode well that instead of saying, "Wow, I'm shocked! I've never seen this in my peer circle, so I didn't know it was such a problem! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that." they say, "Well. I've never seen this happen. So it can't possibly be a problem. Stop exaggerating." Basically, "I don't believe you. You're fabricating your story for some ulterior motive."
Can't you see how that would cause a problem in general society? In politics? I guess this is why news photographers are so important. I wonder how many people believed the stories of the unfortunate before reporters actually took photos of children dying in Africa, of abysmal living conditions in poor neighborhoods, of rare animals getting abused in zoos.

I can understand being skeptical if someone was trying to give a statistical number of how often girls are catcalled, or making sweeping generalizations. But I do not understand writing off an individual's own experiences.

Embarrassing story time:

Was last year around this time actually. I wanted to get into lolita and cosplay, but I was on a tight budget and bought from Milanoo and Ebay. After being ripped apart by /cgl/ before a con, I learned the error of my ways. I had a speech class and we had a group assignment on a country. I forced them to do Japan because I could bring in props and such easily. They didn't mind though and appreciated how fast I could give out information. But it was too late to get something new.

Put my friend in a ita tier dress and wore a too small Hell Girl cosplay. Looks of awe and curiosity among the class simply because they had never seen such things up close.

Also, while preparing for the speech, I had to walk back and forth between the library and school. I could feel everyone staring and wondering what I was wearing. Most students thought it was just odd since they had never seen anything like it.

I prefer being by myself, actually. When you're around other stylish people it comes off a bit more "look at my fabulous dress" and less "look at this collection of overdressed nerds." Also, weddings are cultural tightropes, doing anything even slightly out of the ordinary will garner a lot of attention.

My love for lolita/cute fashion and my social anxiety have such a weird relationship.
When I'm out in jeans and a hoodie I feel on edge all the time, like everyone is staring at me and judging me, and I just want to go home asap. But when I'm all frilled up I KNOW people are staring at me and judging me and I don't care, so I feel a lot more confident. Even the people who take pictures without asking don't bother me so much, although I do think they're incredibly rude.
But then when someone actually starts talking to me, I freeze up again. I wonder how many "lolitas are stuck up cunts" stories I've inspired because of my inability to hold a conversation with strangers.

Well that's easy. Lolita, to those who aren't familiar, looks more like how a baby doll would be dressed up or a little girl's dream outfit. By 18 you're expected to look and dress a certain way. And especially in the states, lolita isn't the norm. Perhaps it would even count as a Halloween costume to others.

Also, sissies and people with diaper fetishes will go for sweet lolita which further digs the style in the dirt. But I'm just speaking for the ignorant masses. Their idea of it is just the same as having an idea of what a culture wears, without doing any research on said culture. (Japan and kimonos, Africa and everyone being tribal, ect.)

I kind of have a theory that for some people (mostly men) girls dress up nicely with exclusive purpose of attracting male attention - retarded as it may sound. So if you dress weird, you're doing it because you're looking for some kind of fetishist, never ever because I don't know, you find the clothes pretty or wanna feel cute or something. The concept of self-expression through looks just doesn't exist to them, your clothes must serve a purpose. They wouldn't do that, so why on earth would you, amirite??

Women's clothing isn't made to be practical, which is why there's a lot of women in sweatpants and a t-shirt.
For example, most women's pants don't have pockets, which forces you to buy a purse, which in itself is not practical.

I disagree, this is something that I struggle with too. It can be a pretty awkward situation if you read it incorrectly.
A friend of mine just came back from another guy's birthday dinner. They went out to a restaurant, and no one told my friend nor his girlfriend that it was a smart-casual-dressup deal. He was wearing a tshirt with stains on it, she was wearing ripped jeans. Everyone else was wearing casual collared shirts, slacks, and sundresses. In fact, that's what people were wearing throughout the restaurant. The both felt really embarrassed.

Since nobody can ever seem to understand how to describe the tone of dress, I usually just ask them to tell me what they're wearing. And even then, the response is usually, "Y'know. Just clothes. I dunno." So I have to slowly convince them to actually tell me the pieces of their outfit.

I usually dress a little nicer than what people tell me, though, since it's easier to brush off overdressed than under.

Definitely ask first. I know I make a habit where if I see someone who is doing that sort of thing and didn't ask, I make the most unattractive face I can manage.

Nobody fucking dresses up when they go in public so you can get nice photos. They do it because they want to, and it's really really rude to photograph them without their say-so.

If it really is legal (I don't know where you're from, but remind me not to go there) it shouldn't be.

How do any of you work up the courage to wear Lolita outside? I've been getting back into Lolita(since I finally have the money to buy stuff, poorfag here), but I'm horrified to actually wear it in public. It's not even me being too worried about people throwing shit as much as it is being heckled. You guys have really thick skin and I'm super envious.

[Anonymous No.7527976]

>>7527962
I find it easier not to be bothered receiving attention while wearing lolita then when I'm in day to day wear. I expect to be noticed or asked questions. The attention is more on the clothing and not me so much.

I get more bothered when I'm in plain clothes and getting stared at, hooted, etc... I just want to go about my business. It's especially awkward when it's in obvious gender neutral stuff like my work clothes, or in my maternity clothes. I ain't got time for that shit.

[Anonymous No.7527993]

>>7527962
If you're nervous about wearing it out, start small and plain. Go for more casual/otome rather than full out lolita. In general, I think people who wear it often don't really go that elaborate anyways. Solid pieces or understated prints are a lot easier to wear often,. It's also better to get dresses that still look nice with flat to no petti, because fluffy pettis get in people's way.

Classic is easier to get away with but I don't know your style preference so

Wow no, that's just overreacting and you're just going to look like a huge bitch.

If it were a person snapping a shitty pic on their cellphone, I can understand the anger, since more than likely, it's for ridiculing purposes.

But if it's a person with a professional grade camera, which, might I remind you can possibly cost more than an entire burando outfit, they're just snapping a photo of the aesthetic of the moment. There's no reason for them to spend 1k+ on a camera/equipment to take unflattering photos of you. Street photography is about capturing the lifestyle and people of the area, and there's a certain appeal when you get a shot of someone in alt. fashion because it shows diversity.

Staged photos often don't have the same feel as a candid one. IDEALLY, it would probably be the best for both parties if the photographer went up to someone, briefly asked and told them to do whatever they were doing before, and show them them photo afterward, but it just doesn't work that way sometimes. and even a "casual" staged photo can look too stiff.

Unless this person was stalking you and trying to get multiple photos of you, there is absolutely no fucking reason to get angry at someone who more than likely just thought you looked nice and interesting enough to be in a nice photograph.

Yes I'm well aware. Which is why I think photographers should try to ask whenever possible, especially if a person is the main focus of the picture or their face is clearly visible.
But if you actually look up street photography, which I don't think a lot of the angry people in this thread did, solo focuses are usually very close-up were the photographer can easily ask permission before or after if a person seemed truly bothered being photographed.

Street photographers know that they can and will get caught, they're not trying to creepy about it. General etiquette and rules of street photography is that you only do it in public places anyways, so they're not doing anything illegal for one point.

My point is, going up to someone and smashing their camera when they're trying to create art like >>7528016 said she'd do is pretty much the same thing as someone walking up to a lolita and purposely tearing up their dress just because they expressing themselves through their clothing. Only difference is that photography involves other people so permission may be needed. Though tbh I would have to say itas should ask permission to show themselves in public but that's just my opinion.

Taking photos is technically legal (though obnoxious), what is illegal is making these photos public.
In my country, and I think in most of EU, it's only legal to publish a photo when you either have constent of photographed person, or there are at least three people on the photo - and all of their faces have to be clearly visible.

I think there's a difference between taking a picture of a general area, where the person adds to the aesthetic and then there's a picture specifically of that person, where there isn't much else going on in the picture, and the entirety of its point is to look at that person and how pretty/weird they look.
When you're on the other side of the lens, it's hard to tell which it is, though. It makes me uncomfortable when I see that happening. My boyfriend usually shields me if we notice.

It's nice that you delete it instead of getting hoity toity about your rights. I appreciate that. If you can get to them, do you approach who you photograph? Might be a good idea to have a stack of business cards. So then they can email you if they want a copy. It's advertisement, too!

In bigger cities, people don't mind as much because you could be doing something for a job or school.

Like, I've been photographed by street photographers before (back in New York, everyone says they're street photographers though..) and usually if I notice them, I just smile their way since they're probably from one of the art schools and I figure that its better I let them know I've acknowledged them so they're free to keep shooting without any worries.

I've also noticed when I do that, they tend come up and ask if they can keep going. Which leads to them showing me what they were shooting and sharing emails so I can have their nice shots.

...Though there was this one dude who was just taking high quality upskirts going back to the whole 'everyone says they're legit photographers' thing.

As someone who lurked both there and other single, sad beta male-dominated places, I beg to differ. I've walked a thousand miles in their shoes, even more so than in my own. Most of them, though not all, DO have shit personalities. A lot of them are poor little weird boys who never quite learned how to socialize and suck at relationships because of that, but even then they ARE misogynistic assholes. I feel bad, because I know their hatred have a source that includes their own suffering, but I cannot have pity for people who do not regard half of the earth population as human beings who deserve respect.

By the way, that's often why they have such shitty experiences with females in the first place. Pick hottie they can never possibly have because they are awkward and don't know how to flirt and not too handsome on top of that, try to "be there for her" and be nice and think that'll be enough and get mad because it didn't work and "why is she with that other guy who is popular, exciting, knows how to flirt and is actually socially apt if he sometimes have fights with her? Why isn't she with me, I'm none of that but I would worship the ground she walks on, and never fight!".

Men love to say that women fight and are bitches and "guys are all friends and bros, such bromance, very love" but as soon as a guy is competition, he's "an asshole who doesn't treat the girl right". Beta males who are unhappy about being beta males are the worst (the cute non-misogynistic ones are great though).

I'm original anon. Average is not cute nor attractive, especially with /r9k/'s personnality. An average guy have all his chance if he is special in another way, like particularly interesting or charming. Nobodby wants mediocrity, to seduce you have to seem out of the ordinary for the people you want to seduce. It can be your appearance, it can be your way of speaking, your hobbies. You have to grab the attention or you will not seduce, period.
So, average is not equal cute, average is average. Average appareance does not mean "I have the exact same chances as everybody else", it means " I should do my best to be myself and develop my own talents or I'll stay unnoticed all my life".
According to people around me, I'm a really pretty girl. I've dated mostly average + looking guys, because we had common hobbies, they were clever and charming, and because it worked between the two of us.
And I have dated a few 'super model' type guys. Exactly as for average men, some are nice, some aren't, some fake it. They aren't that different.

Same. It's the main reason I don't wear my more eye-catching clothes out often, because when you're dressed strangely apparently you're suddenly fair game and aren't allow to object to any kind of attention.
When I'm out in a super simple otome or mori coord and someone STILL insists of taking pictures of me despite my objections, I just burst out in tears. No better way to make someone feel like an asshole. It's not something I use lightly but the ability to cry on command is a very useful one.

Back in high school when I was first getting into lolita, there was one older guy who would constantly pick on me and my sister. He would constantly mock my clothing or say that my sister was dead in a ditch somewhere getting fucked by a homeless man.

So, one day I snapped. In all of my frilly glory I got up from my bus seat, walked over to him, and grabbed him by his collar. I told him to shut the fuck up and he did. I don't think he ever expected me to stand up for myself since I would typically ignore him. After that he never bothered or my sister again.

Another time some UGG wearing girl chucked a slushie at my friends dress. Luckily it was Bodyline, but my friend is really sweet, so seeing something like that happen to her was rather painful. When my sister found out she spent the next 30 minutes spitting into a hot chocolate drink. She chucked it at the girl...and managed to incur the wrath of a group of girls. It wasn't a good time.

I've also had a boy spill punch juice on one of my dresses before. Small towns suck sometimes.

I have no idea what I would do in a situation like this. The closest I've ever come to it is when I traveled to Seattle and some creepy woman spit in my face. I think it was because, since I was having such a good day, I had a giant stupid grin on. My face smelled like feces until I could scrub if off in a bathroom. Luckily since I was having such a good day, I wasn't phased too badly. Plus I was wearing normalfag clothes and I'm a real plain jane white girl. I didn't feel singled out at all, she was just crazy. I figured it would make a good story.

Now if that had happened to me when I was wearing lolita, I probably wouldn't wear it out again for a couple months.

> Waiting for boyfriend to get off work from his job in the mall

Enter the pack
> They stand off to the side, giggling to each other
> I ignore them
> I had gotten bored at the mall, so I had been pacing for 20 minutes or so
> They hung around for a good 7-10 minutes of that
Don't you guys have anything better to do
> Boyfriend finally gets let out
> We start walking away and he says, "Anon, are these some friends of yours?"
> I glance over and notice that a few of them had been following me in a line, mimicking my pacing
> "No, they're just making fun of me."

I hope they heard. Sometimes these girls don't even realize they're hurting someone who is a real human being.
In middle school I had a girl who would always heckle me when I responded to discussions in class. One day she dramatically sighed, "Ugh. No one cares, Anon." and I snapped. I told her, "You know what, Sarah? Every time you've opened your mouth to speak to me, not a single kind word has come out. And I'M the one who doesn't care, Sarah!" Halfway through what I was saying, she got the most horrified look on her face. She interrupted me, saying, "Wait, really? ...Oh my God. You're right. I can't believe myself." Then she looked at me with this unsettling worried intensity. She said that she was so incredibly sorry, she didn't know how she let herself keep going like this, and that she didn't expect me to forgive her. I was taken really off guard and everyone was watching, so I stumbled out something about how it was fine and that I really didn't care.

It was surreal. She honestly had never thought about it.

>It was surreal. She honestly had never thought about it.

As someone who used to be a bully, I can confirm that bullies really never think about their victim's feelings. Bullying is a selfish thing and I think most bullies do it more to gain something for themselves. I was in a group of girls who bullied others, we all did it to feel better about ourselves and to gain respect from each other and to prove how badass we were. Whenever I managed to provoke a reaction from the victim, my bully friends cheered me on and made me feel really powerful. I bullied for that feeling. The victim was always irrelevant.
(I was a bully all the way until graduation but I have since then apologized to the people I bullied. I'm forever ashamed of what I did. Never bully anyone.)

I hope I don't look like I'm bragging but it's always so nice when people are genuinely excited by the dresses and get a nice pic of it instead of sneakily snapping one.

It's amazing that you apologized to the people you bullied. I have so much respect for you. There are too many ex-bullies who think that their victims have forgotten, or it was too long ago, or make an excuse about how they were a kid and of course the victim knows they'd be matured by now. I've had too many people who bullied me in the past talk to me in the present as if nothing is wrong.
Nine times out of ten, the victims do not forget. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. The few who have approached me, seeing that humiliated look in their eyes, desperate for forgiveness, my heart melts. I can't help but forgive them before they've even said anything. Because in those eyes, it breaks down those ideas I had about myself because of them. No, they didn't bully me because I was obnoxious or dumb or ugly. They weren't telling me that none of my friends liked me out of a kind desire to inform me on the situation. I'm not weak and I'm not worthless. They did it for their own reasons and not because of me.
Fuck, now I'm crying. Bitter and happy. Because I'm so grateful for those who came up to me. But the ones who didn't. It still lingers in my mind. Their voices pop up when I make a mistake. Their voice started to sound like mine and I can't see the difference anymore. Logically I know that they were probably just trying to fit in or vent problems from elsewhere. But I still wonder if maybe they were right.

One person came up to me that I didn't remember. I don't know if I remembered her words and lost her face, if I blocked it out, or just plain forgot. But I had the utmost respect for her after that day. Bringing up what she had done didn't rekindle any hatred in me. I liked her a lot more after that. People shouldn't be scared of them forgetting as an excuse not to apologize. It's never too late.

I made an OkCupid account, and while I went on dates with many legit men, there was one who was clearly doing it as a joke. I wear lolita to first dates to scare guys off early who can't handle it, so of course I went in lolita.

So, I gave him a couple choices on times to do the date, and one option was after I went out for a drink with friends. I hadn't planned on having more than one drink so I'd be fine, but I still gave him fair warning I may be a little tipsy. He said, "That could be interesting..." and I thought nothing of it. Boys usually love my upbeat and perky attitude.

Well so, even though he was a well-educated man with a good job, he seemed very slow from the start, like literally, he talked extremely slow. He also said a couple stupid comments. Now this whole date lasted about two hours, and during that time I kept wondering if he was retarded, or high. At some point we started talking about video games that we didn't have in common, it was a droll conversation, but I managed to keep at least some type of conversation happening. Around then is when he started to lean sideways like he was falling asleep.

Not the most interesting story, but we ended the date, shook hands, and parted ways. I guess he thought it'd be fun to get high and go on a date with the cupcake princess, but was unexpectedly met with casual conversation about work and common interests instead of high-pitched gab about unicorns and sparkles.
