/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Something I struggle to understand is how various scenes can have such a different reaction me. Around my area in the Florida scene (and to some extent Texas), people come up to me frequently (maybe even constantly) for pictures or just to talk for a bit. At cons in either of these states, it's also guaranteed someone will recognize me even if I don't remember them. Plenty will give me their phone numbers, wanna hang out off site after, buy me free stuff, offer to let me stay in their hotel rooms, whatever. ...And yet in spite of all that, I do not in any way get this kind of experience with the Midwest crowd. Most won't go so far as to even ask for a picture. If we're cosplaying from the series or if we talk a bit doesn't seem to improve the odds much. I'm not doing anything different at all here, so it's not me. And yet if it WERE me, it'd make things a lot easier to figure out. My only guess is some areas are generally friendlier than others. Weirder still is the vast majority of these people in the places that like me are moderately to extremely attractive, while I am not particularly.

You probably have a better chance, but considering even rinky dink motels are over $200 a night that weekend, I expect taxis are no different.

Haven't been myself, but the guy who serves it never shuts up about LA. So there's a very good chance you've already had a taste.
