/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have a fairly poor view of lolita from my experience dating them (by circumstance) but I've found that itas lack of effort is a carryover from the rest of their life.
Or, that their ita status is a symptom of their personality rather than a lack of knowledge or capability to not be ita.
I was also hesitant to believe the memes about certain types of lolita but have found them to be accurate to an uncanny degree in many cases.

Without getting into specifics, truly I wish that an obsessive interest in sweet lolita did not correlate to diaper fetishes, and pet/age play.
I have watched dabbling sweet lolitas step closer to the edge of a cliff under the guise of irony, only to have them jump off at the last moment plunging deep to the bottom of meme status.
You don't know how awkward it can be to stay friends with someone and watch them go from casually mentioning, "I wish I could be a teenager forever", to dating middle aged men and shitting themselves in adult diapers to spice up their sex life.

Despite having every relationship with a lolita end terribly, I'm still open to the idea of it.
I do not learn from mistakes, and have found that dating someone who turns a type of clothing into a lifestyle is precarious.
