I've hit a plateau, and it sucks. I'm not fat, sort of athletic-average (5'7" and 140lbs, but I work out a lot and look slimmer than friends who weigh less), and no matter what, I'm always right around this area and not quite skinny enough for my liking. My broad build doesn't help anything; even at my low weight of 110, I still looked bigger thanks to my wide hips and shoulders. Oh well. Sorry in advance for ruining super slim fourteen year old anime aesthetics.

I view myself as an extremly boring person, I dont enjoy watching movies, listening to music and I dont really have any other hobbies then cosplay..

The thing is that I cant tell people about my hobby, Im too embarassed about it since every person Ive ever told has been drawing to conclusion that Im a gigantic weeb, when I dont even cosplay from anime.

I have never had a best friend my entire life, never any really close friends. All friendships and relationships Ive ever had usually ends after one year since people thinks im weird for cosplaying. And I have never been to a con.. I just sew and build my cosplays at home since it makes me happy, the only thing I want is friends that might be into cosplay.. Ive put up my information several times on the cgl-friends searches but noone has ever contacted me

Why is it so hard to meet people with the same hobbies..

I have a prominent pelvic bone so it sticks out and makes me look like I have a bulge whenever I wear something tight in the crotch area. Or even shorts. Even if I lose weight, it's not going to go away because I've had it even when I was only a little over 100 pounds. I have so many cosplays I want to do but because of it, I don't do it.

I think we should just accept that everyone has preferences, and the sooner we accept that the easier it will be on everyone to realise we're really kind of petty.

Human relationships are complex and already depend on a number of arbitrary standards, so it shouldn't be surprising that a number of them are on very superficial characteristics.

My boyfriend was a 25-year-old unkissed virgin when I met him. He was just a socially awkward and never had much of a sex drive. It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad sign. He might be a diamond in the rough!

Although I get why you'd be hesitant - guys like that can often be bitter and misogynistic. Some of my bf's friends from uni were like that. I felt uncomfortable just being in the same room as them. I guess if it's online you could just block him if he turns out to be a weirdo?

It's like you want a relationshit.

As for hate on shorter people... something something freud something something you hate something about yourself so compensating. Trust me, I'm an armchair psychiatrist.

On a serious note, void of any other outstanding deformities, not picking a shorter guy (talking 5'7" at the shortest) is usually pretty indicative you are displeased with something about yourself and refuse to come to terms with it/recognize it exists.
Hating on blatant deformities and refusing to keep them as a life partner (midgets/gimpy things) is merely healthy. Doesn't mean you can't be friends though, fuckin' ass holes.

I agree.

Maybe it is because I am a lesbian, but height seems very inconsequential to me. I do not even think of it.

My friend is a few inches shy of six feet. She has dated men shorter than her. Then again she does not ever want children and also does not judge a guy based on his appearance alone. People who want a partner, companion or good match are less concerned with silly things like height, a number on a scale, race, etc... And her short bf was quite traditionally attractive too! Hobbies, personality and goals matter the most for some people.

For this i avoid dating sites, there is a lot of weirdos popping out and creeping you. I prefer fb and even also VampireFreaks even if there are lots of mad creepos as in the other dating sites (way less compared to other sites i think) but i met also awesome friends here!
Maybe going in a site where you can share similar interests and where the main thing isn't dating would be a good thing.

This. But yes also a girl can be picky also like guys who likes a girl only if she blond or brunette, petite or tall, with big boobs or flat and so on. Everyone has their preferences but if a girl express a preference for a certain type of guys, the reactions are more negative.

Or maybe I've simply seen enough shit and have lost enough friends to know different.

They'd never date much. Then marry these absolute bitches probably because it's one woman they actually manage to get to stick around for a while so they hang on for dear life.
Sometimes it's the woman who clings on for dear life. They drop their entire social lives and try to get married asap. I watched as a friend was destroyed in the space of 5 years by one woman. They marry after 3 months of 'dating' because "DUDE she's the one." he's maybe dated 3 other women. They get a kid. a year after the kid she files for divorce and long story short 'takes him to the cleaners' he's now a broken person working 3 jobs and only gets to see his kid every other weekend. He's not an alchoholic or an abusive person either. Dude was a fucking scout leader who helped organize eagle projects. Now he's a zombie I say hi to on the rare occasions we pass at the grocer.
