    be me

    Heading out for a night on the town to court some ladies!

    I donned my finest XXXL Dragon Ball Z Hawaiian shirt and my cleanest pair of cargo shorts and prepared to go a-wooing!

    I wander into the local discothèque and find a good spot in a corner where I can hold court with some erudite women!

    I start winking and beckoning to every potential waifu who walks by, but to no avail! I even tried shouting at them from across the room! Do they not realize that I’m wearing my lucky socks???

    After about 20 minutes the bouncer tells me I have to leave, because people are complaining about the smell. Apparently my viril musk was overstimulating some of the patrons…

    Disgusted, I wander home. It’s just as well, with so many damned lesbians evehwhere what hope does a gentlesir have of finding true love?

    Need to be more out going than that…

    Start conversations, buy drinks to people, as a good gesture if conversion is going well.

    Joining in on events as well…

    Awesome attempt though, not easy to admit!

      This is a green text so you have to realize that the people you’re telling to socialize and have normal conversations with people are 4chan users. I admire your optimism though.

        I think most people get to stuck in their minds, instead of just saying “fuck it” and trying to be a bit of an extrovert!

        If they went out to a bar then they are not lost sheep, they have many chances to meet people, just need effort.

        Yes, green text, hahahah

        Thank you for the reply!

    You can’t make friends without initiative. People would assume that you want to be left alone or won’t care about you at all. You need to talk to people. Listen to the conversation that is going on and chip in without being disruptive, and if they dont want your company, respectfully leave.

    That was me coming back to France after being used to pubs in Ireland. Took a while to accept you can’t really chat with strangers in French pubs the same way you can in Ireland.

    Ended up going to Couchsurfing meetups, boardgames nights, etc.

    It takes time and efforts but you can make it Anon!
