/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Everything costs money and I'm SICK and TIRED of it.

>>10359466
Boohoo.

>completely socially functioning day 1 and talking with tons of people
>wanting to crawl into bed and anxiety ridden on day 2 socially distant

Why am I like this.

>tfw won't meet up with my friends at cons this year because of Corona
t-there's always next year

I'm so relieved that the tech company I work at (I'm an independent contractor) has offered to pay me my full wage until we reopen. I was so worried about losing my job and having to sell some of my lolita wardrobe to pay for rent. I'm a former NEET so I barely have enough savings to last me a few months. This is some scary shit.

Bf won't stop calling my Honey Cake bag "Aunt Jemima box"

How do you ask out a girl who lives a state away and is barely on Instagram?

If they aren't actually losing weight, they probably won't be starving to death anytime soon.

A fat ita messaged me yesterday on LM asking about max waist and bust measurements on a dress I'm selling. I was planning on ignoring the message for now, but she messaged me again today.

>laid off suddenly at the beginning of this month
>unemployment office cancels all meetings due to apocalypse
>finally call me back today
>get gaslighted for losing my job

Sure is a day today.

>>10360284
You can keep ignoring her.

>>10360282
They might die due to ion imbalances though.

>>10359432

it only took a worldwide pandemic to get me to stop eating fast food. shedding weight like it's nothing.

>>10360293
>mfw gaining weight
I hate this.

>>10360035
Better than him calling your vag that.

>>10360291
If they're not losing weight, they're probably not only eating 500 calories a day.

>>10360273
Consider your carb/sugar/sodium/fat intake. As well as your water intake. Also eat a bit more, try around 900 instead, because your body is likely holding onto your weight because its going into panic mode with starvation. If you want to severe cut especially the idea is to put your body on border starvation without peaking below that threshold. Otherwise your body will just eat at your lean muscle which will make you feel like absolute death and low energy. I've dipped under it.

If you aren't already try exercising to kick off your metabolism rate as it will actually decrease making it harder to lose weight if you remain stagnant and cut that severely.

Also take a multivitamin so you don't endanger yourself and your bone density by not getting better nutrition. Iron is an important supplement if you're a woman.

t. Lost 25lbs in a 4 weeks but am also a guy.

>>10360306
This. I restricted my daily calorie intake to 1100 and lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks. If I were to only consume 500 I would have reached my goal by now.

>>10360316
This "starvation mode" myth is bullshit. It would not keep you a large fatass if you're only eating 500 cal. This lie is constantly perpetuated by other fatasses. If OP were truly eating that much, they would be losing weight. I once had to eat 500 calories/day for reasons out of my control and my weight dropped low incredibly quickly.

The simplest explanation? They're not only eating 500 calories. They must be fucking up their calorie counts by massively underestimating the amount of calories their food has.

>>10360276
Earthquake?
Where?

>>10359466
Nothing is free...

>>10360273
if you have an underlying medical condition or are on certain meds, that won't work

>>10360349
Then what will?

>>10360273
Starting second week with not losing weight sounds normal. It could be cortisol/stress (from changes in eating possibly?), constipation, water/glycogen retention, or not weighing your food.

>>10360349
Being on a 500 calorie diet will make literally everyone lose weight, fatass. Stop making up excuses.

>>10360322
1100 is my BMR. So jealous of people who get to eat so much more than me.

>>10360364
Just start working out then.

>>10360351
Getting off the meds or taking care of the condition.

>>10360361
Yeah, no, but go ahead and stay ignorant. Just like there are conditions where a person can't gain weight no matter how much they eat, the opposite happens as well.

>>10360273
You're either counting wrong and need to be visited by the Secret Eaters team, or you're about to take a fat 10lbs shit.

>>10360347

>>10360250

>>10360366
>Yeah, no, but go ahead and stay ignorant. Just like there are conditions where a person can't gain weight no matter how much they eat, the opposite happens as well.
Kek that "can't gain weight no matter what" excuse is literally an eating disorder coverup line. "Starvation mode" is never going to keep you a fatass. Because in case you never took high school biology, fat is stored energy. Your body will consume that energy. I actually ate <500 calories a day once because I was unable to for reasons out of my control, and I dropped weight extremely quickly.

>>10360381
Do you have underlying medical conditions or are on meds that could prevent that? If not then your personal experience doesn't matter. Go google the science on how those can majorly affect weight gain/loss regardless of amount eaten.

>>10360382
There is no underlying medical condition which turns your body into a perpetual motion machine. That's a literal physical impossibility bahahaha. How fat are you??

>>10360382
I literally have hypothyroidism faggot.

>>10360382
>>10360386
Also, I've had to take corticosteroids before.

People's meds "make them gain weight" because they make them hungrier and eat more. If that person was accurately counting their calories, that would not be an issue. Protip: they weren't.

>>10360381
You took high school biology which in no way trumps college classes in molecular biology. In fact, people with hypothyroidism usually don't feel that hungry to begin with, but can gain weight excessively fast even eating under 1,000 calories a day.

I've only met one person in my life with hypothyroidism.

People with the disorder tend not to live very long... usually not past middle age. Trying to go in 'starvation mode' only knocks their thyroid out more, but eating causes them to gain weight. Medication helps, but people who truly have hypothyroidism usually have a pretty dismal outlook.

Hyperthyroidism exists too. I have it, and, yeah, I can eat a shit ton & unhealthy, and barely gain weight. It's not good for people with hyperthyroidism to do that though because eventually the thyroid will give up from the overload, and those people then develop hyperthyroidism.

It's a shame you never took college courses past high school biology. You'll never become a doctor with just high school biology.

>>10360411
develop hypothyroidism*

>>10360361
Also... yeah, someone with hypothyroidism will find themselves at a normal weight eating that little... However, the instant they eat a normal amount, the weight skyrockets back up in days. Like I said, I've only known one person with hypothyroidism.

Humans can't live off 500 a day though. They'll starve to death. The same goes for people with hypothyroidism, and cutting that low long-term only further worsens their metabolism until they starve to death at a normal weight.

It's not a fun time.

>>10360411
>In fact, people with hypothyroidism usually don't feel that hungry to begin with, but can gain weight excessively fast even eating under 1,000 calories a day.
Other anon here. I've had hypothyroidism and know multiple people in my life with it.

> People with the disorder tend not to live very long... usually not past middle age.
It is NOT some dangerous disease which kills you in middle age like you're making it out to be. The fact that you're even suggesting that is absolutely fucking laughable! You would know this even from a cursory Google search. Also, if you actually knew anything about it, you would know that it only causes you to gain 5-10 lbs of water weight, which you should easily lose after being medicated. This information is easily available on the American Thyroid Association website.

https://www.thyroid.org/thyroid-and-weight/

So all this bullshit about "classes in molecular biology" is just that. You're bullshitting. Please stop making up easily debunkable facts, it's embarrassing. Especially for someone who purports to be educated.

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are completely different then high and low thyroids.

People get it confused. If someone really has a medical diagnosis of hypothyroidism, not just 'low thyroid', leave them alone.

>>10360414
Do you have a low thyroid or hypothyroidism?

There's a difference in the two. I've known plenty with a low thyroid.

I've known only one who's thyroid essentially didn't work altogether hence why they had the diagnosis of hypothyroidism.

You seem to be talking about what they call low thyroid in my country.

>>10360416
You fucking retard, they're the same thing. You get "low thyroid" hormone if your thyroid gland is underproducing it. AKA: hypothyroidism.

https://www.healthline.com/health/hypothyroidism/symptoms-treatments-more

> Hypothyroidism occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that sits at the front of your neck. It releases hormones to help your body regulate and use energy.

Having low thyroid hormone levels is literally the definition of hypothyroidism. Please stay in school, you clearly need it.

>>10360416
Also, I know people who've had their thyroid surgically removed and are doing just fine without "dying in middle age". You're really just out here making shit up.

>>10360418
I'm really not. You're just throwing a hiss fit someone called you out for being an unnecessary asshole.

>>10360421
>I'm going to call you an asshole because you proved me irrefutably wrong!
Just let it all out

None of this arguing about thyroids matters, what's important is that 500/day is some anachan shit.

>>10360430
This

>>10359432
>tfw my friend's big titty bf is getting top surgery
What a waste.

>>10360523
They probably felt extremely dysphoric about their chest when they're getting surgery for it so don't be a meanie (especially since you're not the one dating them).

>>10360523
What a selfish way to look at people

>>10360365
I do, but even if you take exercise and general moving around into account, that still only brings me up to about 1700/day. I'd have to exercise for an extra 30-60 minutes every day to eat the amount of food I'd like to be eating, and I honestly just don't have time for it. Being 5 feet tall is a blessing when it comes to wearing lolita and a curse when it comes to being able to eat an entire pizza yourself.

>>10360574
>I'd have to exercise for an extra 30-60 minutes every day to eat the amount of food I'd like to be eating
Is that not normal for you? I do that.

I'd also suggestion going on a 6 mile long hike every once in a while. I did one a little while ago and it burned like 500 calories so I was able to chow down on carbs after without penalty.

Why are you always talking about fatties?

>>10360580

Sorry, I'm just sad because the carone virus got my

If this quarantine lasts 18 months I'll probably kill myself
Stuck for 18 months with my abusive cunt of a mother
I hate my job but stay at it because the pay's better than anything else I could get and I still can't afford to move out because fuck rent is so high in this shit city
Cons are my only escape and they're all getting cancelled (I get it's for the safety of others before you all bitch that I'm being selfish it just sucks)

I've been living in Japan for an exchange program and doing a small shopping service on the side to make extra income and it's a lot of fun. It's great to be able to buy from Mercari or Y!A without a proxy for once, and itabaggers are introducing me to new series I've never heard of. It's wonderful.

I am back at my parents house during the pandemic and my lolita clothes are all in my own apartment that is located on another state, looking at my friends coords to stay at home I’m regretting it so much.

>>10359432
I SPENT $800 ON MY VERY FIRST COSPLAY AFTER WAITING YEARS TO DO MY COSPLAY BECAUSE I WASN'T IN SHAPE ENOUGH. NOW I AM AND ACEN IS FUCKING CANCELLED...

>>10360844
What cosplay?

>>10360856
Get real gyaru nails that press on with blu-tac anon

>>10360863
Germany from Hetalia, the uniform itself cost around $450 to make while the leather riding boots and gloves cost the remaining $250. It's been so many years I don't even really like Hetalia anymore, I've just always wanted to do this cosplay.

>>10360866
Based as fuck anon.

>>10360576
I said an extra 30-60 minutes a day, meaning on top of what I already do. No idea why you're trying to have a pissing contest with me.

My com is next level ita. I know cgl thinks they’ve seen it all, but they’re just something else. There’s only 2-3 decent people but they rarely go to meet-ups (wonder why). They’ve all been dressing for 5-15 years so there’s no excuse either. I cringe when they try to give advice to others. One of them does not, from close or from afar, even remotely look Lolita. I wished I could go to meet-ups and talk about the fashion with other lolitas but I guess I can’t, pre or post confinement.

>>10360836
Why tf would you endanger your parents and their whole area by traveling there

>>10360981
It’s not that bad here yet and my parents area is not doing worse or better than where I live so I’m not really endangering anyone’s life, chill

>>10360983
So you got tested and know you are not an asymptomatic carrier? I guess you know now since your parents aren't dead, but you should have stayed put

Tfw your parents won’t let you take a picture of your new Nintendo Switch while making a basedboy face because they’re afraid of the box being contaminated with corona

>>10360976
Just hang out with the 2-3 decent lolitas and stop giving advice to those who aren't willing to learn!
It always baffles me how longterm Itas can be in the fashion for YEARS and still don't know how to dress. My local comm has gained so many newbies in the past years and none of them is ita - that's because they did their own research, asked for concrit and actually tried to improve based on it.

>>10360976
In ten years, it won't matter anyway.

>>10360991
This is an 18+ site

Everytime someone posts a jfashion that isnt lolita on this board some idiot comes in and whines about how its too normie for this board.
>mfw im browising a thread and I see "ITS TOO NORMIE! LOLOL UNIQLO"
Its either one dedicated troll or a group of newfags that believe that, either way I'm exausted.

>>10361250
the people who complain about that are tasteless legbeards who wouldn't know good fashion if it was spoonfed to them. of course, I can't expect much from the type of people who are into tacky shit like lolita.

less is more.

My biggest fantasy is having the sexual worth of men and females swapped.

Basically as a man, imagine girls competing to have sex with you, and willing to pay money or take care of your entire life for you, no matter how ugly, fat, stupid, and broke you are. Just like current day reality for women and their opposite sex.

>>10361285
If you’re ugly, you have barely an sexual worth though. If you get raped, you lose sexually worth. If you age, you lose sexual worth. Enjoy having society decide that your worth is on a timer.

>>10361298
Better than never having any worth at all, like a man with no financial future, and probably dying alone as an incel because of it.

>>10360084
Everything changed when the corona virus attacked.

>finally enough time to sew
>tfw my sewing machine breaks as soon as I start using it

>>10361299
Guys with no financial future have plenty of kids, what are you even talking about?

Knowing that convention season is essentially a bust this year, I've put aside all of my cosplay stuff and have started making some designs for some cute summer stuff to make. I'm gonna try making a pinafore for the first time! Wish me luck, gulls.

>>10360836
>Paying for an apartment you're not even living in

>>10361311
China strikes again.

>>10361322
As opposed to...? Not seeing your family? Most people with nice families would want to be with them during a time like this.

>>10361311
thats some twilight zone shit

>>10361326
Most people, if not all people around me, have stopped seeing their parents and grandparents more than a week ago. It's extremely retarded to visit them or move in with them at a time like this.

>>10361250
It's one troll and not even that dedicated, it just started a few days ago and he only did 2 or 3 threads. Is this the first time you notice trolling?

>>10361250
That is an obvious troll. And you can bet your ass they are going to keep doing that cause people like you get so damn mad about it. You literally fed the troll. Instead of giving them attention you could just ignore them, hide their posts, or report them for shit posting. It's that simple.

>>10361446
Maybe it’s a cultural thing. I know a lot of people who reunited with their families to isolate. My parents have been clamouring for the family to get back together so we can help each other else if someone gets sick (but we drive each other crazy when cohabitating so no thanks from me). If both units have been isolating for 1-2 weeks, they can merge. It’s better to have bigger isolated units to some degree, because 1/4 people going out for supplies is better than 1/2 + 1/2.

You're a moron.

i love the gummy bunny jewellery sets so much but idk if i want to drop £50 on something i could potentially lose, esp with the current virus outbreak stuff
Would you buy them anons?

>>10361812
Unless it was my coveted dream jewelry piece, I wouldn't buy it for that price at all. Especially the plastic kind.

>>10361816
poorfag

>>10361816
They're my favourite AP piece! Its just a case of if i wanna drop the £100 for the ring, and the necklace, but then potentially lose them, or in the worst case scenario, need that £100 for whatever reason due to the virus lockdowns.

>>10361819
if anyone has the pieces, can you vouch for them?? are they still cute irl and do they match older AP prints well?

>>10361819
I think the price is pretty ridiculous for cheap plastic jewelry and I'd never buy it myself no matter how much I love AP. However, I really have to question how often you lose your fucking jewelry that you're so worried about it? Do you live in a hoarder house? Do you toss your jewelry on the floor when you take it off rather than put it in a drawer or box or something? Seriously, what the fuck?

I've never in my life lost a piece of jewelry. It's not like it can wander off on it's own.

>>10361825
People take rings off when they wash their hands and forget to put it back on

>>10361838
this
I take them off to wash my hands, and if im at a meet in a public place i have a god awful memory and forget things unless they're on my person, and im not going to wash my hands with my rings on.
It's also not a case of me definitely losing it, more the prospect of it. I'm just wondering if other people would justify the money, or if they're scalp prices , or just worth it in the long run

>>10361825
Maybe I'm just unlucky but I've had brand jewelry break apart while I'd just been walking outside and it's happened often enough for me to constantly worry about it.

>>10361825
When I was younger I lost plastic jewelry at like a bookstore cause exactly this. This taught me two lessons. One to be more careful and two to not waste money on cheap jewelry.
especially for 50 euro you can buy much cuter and better quality shit.

>>10359432
Is it trashy to show your thong bloomers on Instagram? My comm says no.

Everyone and their mother is a Neet now and I don’t feel special anymore :[ this corona shit fucking sucks

>>10361840
Dude. If it's that important to you, how are you going to forget about it in the twenty second span it takes to wash your hands? Just put it near the faucet so you won't miss it or keep reminding yourself, "I took off my ring before, got to put it back on once I'm done."
If you can't do something as simple as that, then no, you shouldn't buy the ring. You'd only be wasting your own money.

I want to fuck a girl in cosplay so bad.

So I miss one of my best friends so much. She and her partner are really awesome people, and I probably won't see them for a bit. However, we met on cgl (literally should not have worked out - one of us should have been a greasy incel trying to bait lolitas, but nope, a wholesome friendship came out of it).
She moved away and we don't see each other so much, but when we do it's all love.
I miss going to karaoke with her and drinking cocktails, and finding cool places to take coord shots. I'd been going through a v rough time before the whole quarantine thing, so I wasn't really in a fit state for socialisation, and I wish I could go back in time and slap myself bc I miss her!!

If you see this, I love and miss you!

>>10362333
Write her a letter! Take a polaroid picture of one of your coords and start corresponding a lil more physically so that you have something to literally hold on to. Looking forward to receiving mail is a nice way to keep yourself motivated. She sounds lovely and I hope you guys get the chance to hang out again!

You can tell this story is made up because you originally wrote "my friends" or "my friend and *someone else*" which is why you followed it up with "both" and then went back and changed it to "my friend" to make it seem more believable, but you forgot to change the second part.

Is there some reason you have to do what your family says? I understand what you're risking by staying but it's ultimately your choice, right?

You know what you have to do. You're not going to sacrifice your future because some boomers have gone paranoid over something temporary. Hell, why gather all together in the first place? So your whole bloodline can get wiped out in one go if one of you gets sick? These people need a smack on the head each.

>>10359432
con-crud is a really cringe term, can we start making an effort to use a different one? It sounds like something a boomer thought up.

>>10363213
Screw your Boomer relatives. They probably see that you're doing well and happy on your own and want to ruin it so they become the center of attention again. The generation before them made great sacrifices for them so they expect all other generations to make great sacrifices as well. Don't let them do this to you.

>>10360348
They probably think this would be solved under socialism, where the government would pay them to make shitty lolita dresses for herself

>>10359466
Maybe you need a break from cosplay/lolita for a little while and just focus on what you do have and what you can afford, it's tough for a lot of people at the moment but there is help out there, perhaps even more than usual given the state of things.

Or, you could smash me. Don’t be a coward.

>>10363356
10/10 qt gull would smash

The crippling realisation that this is going to completely kill the convention scene as costhots make bank online for lonely losers who can't even leave their own house and forget why they even bothered with cons in the first place.

>>10363434
It's been pouring for over a day here. I can't go out to buy stuff but the sound is relaxing and the low light is nice. I wish I had a girl to cuddle with under the warm bedcovers for maximum comfy.

>>10363434
Assuming you're stuck at home? You've got time to fix your skin anon.

>>10363418
So you mean only fans that just want to be fans together and aren't thots that only care about fake internet points and popularity will attend? Good.

You're funny, it's been a term for a really long time so you're probably not actually wrong.

I'm old and was getting kind of tired of Otakon. Been going since it was in Baltimore, wasn't looking forward to the extra miles to go down to DC. Might have just out growned it. My group has grown and always looks to me to book and set everything up. I didn't even book a single room this year... haven't told anyone yet thinking about telling them I'm out.

Thank fuck that awkward conversation with 10 different people won't have to go on.. huge relief.

Thanks corona.

Fuck you Otakon
Fuck you DC
Fuck you needy fucking (adult)children that constantly complain and depend on others to fix your shit.

I'll miss the fuck out of the good cosplayers.

>>10359620
Same here anon. I also work for a tech company and thought I missed my opportunity to work from home since I moved before my city was shut down.
Luckily, I was able to pick up my computer and I'll start working again next week from my room.
I was super scared I was going to have to sell more of my wardrobe to get by.
That was horrifying to think about because I have listings up and there weren't selling.

>>10360280
anon they said girl.

>>10363456
anon, are you female? if so, where are you??

>>10362847
This, And a lot of those rich people aren't really doing any hard work to get that money.
I seriously hope this virus results in more people realizing how unfair it is for those lazy attention whores to have so much money that they can just do whatever they want.

If they truly want to entertain people, they'll do it for a lower cost. That's how you know they're fake as fuck cause they only want the money.

>>10360284
I ignore these messages/comments too.
Always check messages from your email first.

See if there's a crafting/cosplay group near you on facebook and then see if anyone has any supplies they can share.

>>10359515
maybe an entire day of social interaction with new people tires your brain and it needs to rest on the second day?

>>10360273
best method is to stop eating altogether for a few days and only drink water and some salt.
and no, it's not unhealthy to do that, restricting calories that much however is
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment
and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2495396/

>>10364232
stop telling them people to starve themselves, retard

>>10364232
intermittent fasting would be a much better lifestyle change than this retarded, temporary advice. this sounds like the dipshit logic of someone with an ED who thinks a 5 day fast is sustainable or will have lasting results.

i've gained ten pounds since i've been staying home. hooooooooly shit. i need to get outside and exercise even if it causes me to risk death

>>10360331
not a "fatass", but more like a "standing dog" body (skinny arms and legs, but a huge belly, like the african children in the pictures)

>>10364584

Look up calisthenics at home and restrict your calorie intake. Walking and exercise doesn't burn a lot of calories. It's just that you're eating more because you're bored or have nothing else to keep you busy.

Will be turning 30 next year and Im coming to grips with realising I botched my opportunities and will probably be an NPC for the clever people who sorted themselves out early.

>>10364584
If you got money and space for it, a crosstrainer or treadmill. Kettlebell workouts are amazing, this combines both cardio and weights, it's ideal for both men and women. At home aerobics, lots of dvds to choose from. HIIT, not for the faint hearted. Resistance bands, good for training muscles. >>10364640 has a great suggestion really cause calisthenics is great and gives quick results. Eat better, higher protein, lower carb, more balanced meals and go easy on the snacks and sugar. Make better choices food and drink wise.

>>10364652
I turn 30 this year, and I'm going back to school in the fall to finish the degree I dropped out of at 21. It's never too late, anon.

>>10359432

Japonica took too long to bid on my dream dress and someone else bought it before me. It's sad because it's a rare dress that hardly ever comes up.
At least I can avoid spending money during the pandemic, though I was already restricting and this was going to be my special exception.

>>10364652
The best advice I can give is to get off 4ch, the idea that you are a failure because you didnt do x by 30 is just not true but this site loves to shit on you.

A ton of people do a lot in their 30s, there is no time limit for anything.

>>10363322
Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the socialister it is.

>>10364652
this type of attitude is probably why you botched your opportunities. You don't become a retarded invalid at age 30. Learn to make self-fulfilling goals

>>10364746
Nope, go fuck yourself. You're not going to derail the thread with this shit bait.

Any tips on how an average fuck like me can get a con gf that isn't a whale

Do you guys think late in the year cons like AWA will get fucked?

>>10359432
> think I won’t be able to attend any cons this year because of my new job
> they all get cancelled

>>10364652
i feel that way about marriage rn. i probably should've just settled for someone in my past because it's looking pretty bleak from here on out

>>10364858
Yes, if only because no con can negotiate properly for Japanese guests because we can't see how things will be in the future and what travel bans will still be in effect. Add visa applications to that mess which takes time and that makes for a very sad anime convention

>>10364725
This
Getting in early and achieving things while you're young makes it a hell of a lot easier, but you haven't missed the boat. Remember people change careers well into their 40s, divorces happen, etc. If there were a time limit on this shit those people would be fucked too. Life goes on, it's gonna be harder now but you can do better. Even if it's just a little better than yesterday, it's progress.

>>10364858
I honestly think we're gonna be dealing with this shit for a while, vaccine development is still a year off, trump seems to be doing his best to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and doesn't care who dies, meanwhile the virus is mutating fast enough such that even those who've already had it can't be considered completely immune. We will find ways to better deal with it and slow the spread, and won't be stuck in isolation forever, but imo large gatherings such as cons will likely be off the table for a bit longer.

>>10364872
I'm 30 and have never been on a date.... What the fuck do I do fellow virgin bros...

Is being single in 30s that bad? Can't I just find a cute 24 year old or something

>>10364959
why would any 24 yr old want to date you? unless you're extremely hot or rich, there's no reason

this bonnet is really funny to me for some reason, i think it's just a little too big?

guess i'll die

>>10364980
And even then, it's still creepy.

Looks like a cone of shame

I’m 29 dating a 23 y.o we met online thru video games

>>10364984
headeating bonnets gotta eat

>>10364980
Because a 30 year old has it together way more than other 24 year olds. Typically better career too.

>>10364990

How is that creepy? A 6 year difference is nothing at that point. A 33 year old dating 18 is weird. But 30 and 24??

>>10365040
Read your first sentence. A 24 year old and a 30 year old are at different points in their lives. 6 years is still very noticeable at that point. Also, first anon just mentioned "in their 30s," not necessarily 30 on the dot.

>>10365108
24 years olds are generally done with school. plus that doesn't mean anything. It's not creepy in any case.

>>10365108
I'm that anon I'm actually 30. 24 is well within the range of dating for me. The divide age by 2 plus 7 puts minimum at 22. People at 24 will also be where I'm at as I'm jumping into a new career and graduating with my second bachelors. If anything they'll be ahead. 24 and 30 is definitely not a big gap

>>10365126
Actually 29 turning 30 in 4 months*

>>10359432
she cute

>>10364881
>>10364959
What about you start trying to date in your own age range ? As >>10364980 said, unless you're hot or rich there's absolutely no reason a younger woman would want to date you and let's be honest, if you've never been on a date at your age you're most likely neither of those things.

>>10365040
You just said that a 30 year old has it together way more than a 24 year old and you're still wondering what's wrong with your behavior ? You basically admitted that you want to have a position of power over your partner, for fuck's sake. What's creepy isn't the age gap between a 24 and a 30 year old, it's that you're actively seeking for someone younger than you. Also, there is a big gap between someone who's most likely just out of university and someone who's been working for a few years, whether you want to admit it or not.

I just need to vent, I'm so gay for one of my lolita friends, except I'm in a straight relationship and so is she and it would never happen but it hurts so bad

even a global pandemic forcing everyone inside won't make cgl more active :(

>>10365188
>>10365189
Truth. Not gonna entertain them.

>>10365040
nobody cares if you have it together or whatever. it's almost always going to be money related. i know a 19 yo who started dating a 27 yo because she thought he would have good money. when she found out he was broke, she dumped him immediately. you will not see any young girl dating an old dude when he doesn't have either money or exceptional looks.

>>10365126
why are you manchildren so afraid to date women your own age tho?

>>10365259
Because they know women their age won't fall for their manipulative bullshit. That and all scrotes have porn induced brain-rot

At least the snotty rich girl who was mean to me in high school has been on a downward slope and has, as of late, been embarrassing herself with horrible freestyle rap videos while quarantined. They're objectively horrendous. I'd link them if I wasn't afraid she'd go viral because of how bad they are. It's sad that this has to be a high point in my life, but dammit, I'm clinging to whatever happiness I can find.

>>10365276
I'm glad you made a gullfriend, and I hope your high school nemesis continues to post bad rap for you to revel in.

>>10365126
My parents have this age difference. Just date people you are emotionally and physically attracted to and let everyone else fuck off with their opinions because in the end, the only people it should matter to are you and the person you're dating.

>>10365193
Same, friend.

Cosplay guy who I met through here unironically wants to ride my dick but I just wanna be friends with him. I've tried to explain that but he just keeps meming his way out of my rejections. Frankly, I'm flattered that he wants it but I'm just, like, not into him?

Why are you all so fucking gay?

I miss my cosplay bf

Despite everything that’s been going wrong in the world as of late I have this wonderful sense of calm and relief these past few days. Feels like finally unclenching or something after tons of overwhelming unhappiness and anxiety. I feel good, I feel focused, I feel like I can accomplish some very neglected goals I’ve had.

>>10365352
Same anon, I think for me a lot of it is knowing that it's out of my control and no mental gymnastics can convince me otherwise, short of feeling a little crap that I'm not a scientist working towards a vaccine or someshit.

>>10364336
no, I will continue to tell them to "starve" themselves because it's scientifically proven to not have any detrimental health effects
>>10364340
doing a moderately prolonged fast like once isn't going to have that big of an effect, true, but bounce back isn't issue with fasting, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10837292
but yes, IF is the generally preferred way of losing weight

>>10365193
I know that feel

>>10365188
WAT. Younger woman tend to date older all the time. It's actually a source of frustration for a lot of young 20 males. Just about every mid 20s girl I've ever known dated men in their early 30s at some point because those men tend to be more mature and stable.

Also women's physical attractiveness peaks in their mid to early 20s for most guys.

>>10365188
>>10365189
>>10365249
>>10365259
>>10365267
Is this board full of salty old women? It really comes off like it sometimes. Just accept you're past your prime and that younger women are more desirable for the majority of the male population. It ain't no thing to date younger. >>10365192
This. You don't belong on 4channel you sad sad salty hags

>>10365483
Nope it's underage. Anyone with life experience would know mid 20s girls are the hottest comoddity to any relatively young person

Here's a feel. I've noticed all my friends comment nice things on each other's CoF posts, but none of them comment on mine. We have a group-chat and they all gush over each other's selfies, but when I post no one says anything, OR someone shares a picture immediately after me. I try not to let it bother me but it does. I'm starting to wonder if I'm even wanted or if they just put up with me.
>It's strange, because when we hang out as a group every one acts normally with me. Am I just being a retard /cgl/?

>>10365758
Yeah, they don't give a shit about you. I've been in your position countless times. It's why I stopped trying to be friendly with other lolitas.

>Tries to use stimulus package to beef up lolita wardrobe

Fuck me, I hate this.

>>10365784
Wait what? You got the check already? Also it's common knowledge DI is the worst. Use My Lolita Dress or Clobba.

>>10365784
Anon, do you think shipping charges could be related to the current issues with travel? Cos everything is delayed and general cargo isn't being delivered internationally.
May be better to buy within your own country for the time being.

>>10365812
True. I live in Australia and it's hard to get loliable socks locally. The closest local site I can think of is Beserk and their loliable socks are Music Legs monstrosities or Killstar socks that don't come in my preferred colourways

It's getting a bit too easy to spot the crossboarders

>>10364705
>I turn 30 this year, and I'm going back to school in the fall to finish the degree I dropped out of at 21. It's never too late, anon.

What are you going back to study? I guess I just despair over having to go back to school with kids whilst I still live at home.

>>10364725
>>10364749

Thanks I guess I just want to make sure I dont feel about my 30s like I do about my 20s.

>>10364872
I feel you there %100 its like all the good people settle early and now I have to figure things out really quickly in any relationship, I cant afford to blow a year or two any more.

I love /cgl/, but whenever I come back here, I just get the urge to consoom.
It feels especially wrong in this corona era.

>>10365902
Why are you only noticing now.

Terribly missing my friends that I used to see all the time. My family thinks I'm a hikikomori, so I must be fine.

>>10366019
Learn to sew and craft. It dampens my urge to consoom.

>>10365937
I'm going back to study social work.

Also, please don't worry too much about being single at 30. There are plenty of people in that position who are probably thinking they'll never find anyone as great as you. You'll find the right person one day!

I ordered some eBay. Am I going to get coroney?

>>10366258
yep, pretty sure you already have it :/

>>10366258
Ignore that asshat, the virus doesn't survive long enough during transit of the package. You'll live anon.

getting holiday dates approved by work only to find out cons postponed for those dates, fml

>>10366180
>You'll find the right person one day!
or they won't. Seriously. Nothing is guaranteed. I know everyone tends to lean in on the optimism at times like this, but let's be real. Some people will never find a long term mate. They will die alone. and that's fine. That's life.

I've had two packages stolen in the past two weeks. My building has security cameras but hasn't been the least bit helpful. I'm gonna mcfreakin lose it

>>10366292
Well, yes, that’s true, but the only reason anyone would even need to acknowledge that is if they have problems with putting their entire life’s value on having a romantic relationship. If that’s not the case, why even bother bringing that up? Unless you’re a lazy ass who does absolutely nothing or an abusive piece of shit, your chances of having a healthy, happy relationship aren’t 0, and even the above categories can make it happen if they change their ways. People who want something but are doubting their ability to achieve it need encouragement that it’s possible and support behind their efforts, not “or maybe you’ll fail, oh well!” They already know failure is a possibility, and reminding them of that isn’t going to help.

Waist ties are perfect size to make temporary face masks with but understandably people would find that gross as hell so I'll only post about it here.

>>10366180
NTA but it's actually pretty unlikely. The dating pool in your 30s is almost entirely single parents and hideous people. It's really hard to find anyone decent. It's probably better to stay single forever than settle for those people honestly.

>>10366469
I don't find dating any more challenging or less appealing at 29 than at any other age. Only one person in my friend group is even in a long term relationship, and that is the norm. The only people I know who got married in their 20s were all people I went to high school with who all stayed in our shitty small town and just married each other, and most of them are completely miserable but have no other options.

>>10366505
That's not typical though. All the 30+ y/o women I know are already married, and all the men I know who aren't are either really ugly or really poor.

>>10366510
I mean, I can just as easily say that it's your experience that isn't typical. Anecdotal evidence doesn't get anyone very far here.

>>10366514
Ok, how about stats. The average age for marriage is 28 in the US, 27 in Europe, and 26 in Asia.

STOP trying to make “texture loli” happen. It’s note gonna happen, jeesh.

>>10366469
I don't mind ugly people at all desu. Even some of my celeb crushes are hideous.

>>10366522
Average marriage age doesn't tell you how many people are married/unmarried at a given age. It just tells you the average of how old a person is when they get married IF they get married.

To stay on topic, I temporarily moved in with my partner during isolation and I miss having access to my entire wardrobe. I dont need it or anything, but it just feels nice to have it around

>>10366572
>partner not husband or wife
I hope both of you are practicing celibacy if not for god than do it to not get the corona.

>>10366537
april fools but honestly it speaks more about old schoolers that this is the sort of thing they'd cream over

>>10359432
when I look at cos-thots... why the heck my PP stand up???????

I really want everything back to normal, my sales have been going so well before the lockdown and now I can't even ship anything.

>>10366522
Those numbers aren't even correct based on a very easy Google search. Almost all first world countries have a first marriage age (which is what these studies show, not whether or not someone is currently married, so there are even going to be people who got married younger and then divorced bringing down the age range) of late 20s to mid 30s. The United States being at just over 28 is honestly on the lower end of the age spectrum, and I'd wager a lot of that is because of the huge conservative and Christian population it has. It is very, very common to not be married at 30.

>>10366668
Hahaha I've made so many sales in the past two weeks and now that I don't have to show up to work, I can go to the post office within a few hours of receiving payment :)

>>10360780
Anon this is going to sound creepy but are you by chance from the southern U.S.? I've been reading updates from someone who's in a similar situation as you and they're really interesting to read! Either way, hope you're doing well over there!

>>10360430
the only thing that matters about this calorie rant tbfh

>>10366672
>It is very, very common to not be married at 30.
It's not at all common, but whatever helps your forever-alone self feel better. 28 is already pretty old compared to most Asian countries for example. White or majority-white countries are the ones who get married later, but 30 is late even then.

>>10365758
Not good friends. They look like they don't give a shit about you.

>>10366791
Only church people get married in their early 20s.

>>10366813

Objectively false

>>10366813
Okay, but the vast majority of people in general get married in mid to late 20s. Nobody said early 20s.

>TFW they are no longer accepting SAL
>TFW slid in just under the deadline

>>10366836
How the FUCK do people find relationships like that and end up marrying? I'm 30 and I've never been in a LTR or even had sex at this point. I'm genuinely confused on how the human mating process works, I'm fucked for sure.

>>10366861
you find a person you like a lot and want to spend a lot of time with. hopefully that person thinks the same of you. you spend a lot of time with them and then someone tells the other "hey, I want to be with you for the foreseeable future" and voila, marriage!

If you just mean procreation that process is a lot simpler.

>>10366861
Well, most people start dating in HS or college and build up experience from there. So by mid/late 20s, they know what they want in a long term partner.

Is this because no one has ever been attracted to you or you're really picky or something?

>>10366869
I fucked up my entire 20s trying to make a career in illustration so I was painting and drawing 12-16 hours a day, and the off day or two I had a week I'd end up playing video games the entire day. I was borderline homeless on income so I didn't bother going outside to try and get dates because who the fuck wants to date someone who has no money, I couldn't even afford to eat out.

I'm now getting into IT security as a career change and will make good money next year. I also don't think I'm that attractive, some girls have told me I'm a 6-7 out of 10 being brutally honest.

I'm so scared no one will ever find me worthy and I'll never get a nice partner. I don't think anyone has ever been attracted to me either, I've never been hit on before to my knowledge.

Should I try my first attempt at a dating app or something? I was thinking of going to cons to find someone in the 25-32 age range but people on this site are saying 30 year olds are creeps now and it makes me feel self-conscious.

Whats the best way to find a weeb gf and how do I handle things like being a virgin? Do I need to tell them before we do anything and what are some guidelines? Any suggestions on dating sites?

>>10366873
Just being honest, an average or below guy is not going to get younger women of any caliber (except maybe single moms). Your dating range should be more like 30-35. If you are open to older women, single moms, overweight women and others deemed "less desirable" than you could do fine on dating apps. They likely won't care that you're a virgin and all that.

If you have a bunch of standards and go for young, skinny, pretty women with no children... well, good luck with that.

>>10366873
Cons are bad for finding partners for other reasons like the fact you'll only be seeing people for scant moments. You don't get enough time with people and even making friends is an issue if you don't have a way to do that at a con.

>>10360866
Why would that shit be expensive? And isn't hetailia dead, I've waited years to cosplay too but I want to do an anime that has a fanbase but also isn't overrated like dorohedoro

Is that entirely true? I know an average looking guy that finds fairly attractive women (im not saying super models) and hes kind of a sperg. But hes funny and has an okay job, I don't think most people mind dating someone a little bit older especially women. Usually guys like to date younger

>>10366791
Again, a quick Google can prove that wrong. Japan average age is just over 30, Taiwan is just under 31, Hong Kong is just over 30, and South Korea is just under 32.

>>10366894
GJ listing three highly westernized countries and one that has been experiencing a sex/romance drought for nearly a decade. How about these?
China - 25, Cambodia - 21, Malaysia - 25, Phillippines - 25, Singapore - 27, Vietnam - 22, Thailand - 21

>>10366873
Those girls wanted to spare your feelings, you're a 3-4, not a 6-7.

>>10366920
Do 3-4s ever get married?

>>10366917
Your numbers are still below what results I'm reading online. Do you really think I can't Google the same countries you list?

China - 26.3
Cambodia - 22.2
Malaysia - 26.9
Phillippines - 26.7
Singapore - 29.2
Vietnam - 24.9
Thailand - 22.7

And again, these are averages. You take the average age of Malaysia, just below 27, which is the AVERAGE. It doesn't mean that the minute you turn 27, everyone thinks you're too old and no one will ever marry you. It actually guarantees that lots of the population marries AFTER that age because that's how averages work!

Also throwing in a country like Cambodia that has a huge problem with child marriage is kind of making your argument feel a bit facetious in the first place.

>work retail
>only get so much vacation time a year
>have to put in for time off months and months on advanced to get it
>corona chan shows up just in time to ruin my fucking plana
God damnt I just wanted to go to a fucking con and buy merch of my waifu after a long fucking shitty year of working

>>10366932
They shoulda thrown in Bangladesh where the average marriage age is 16.

>>10366932
I literally just took the numbers from Wikipedia. It looks like you're saying the male numbers (?) and I'm saying the female ones. This a female board in case you don't know and females are the ones who are pressured to get married by 30, not males. So yeah you're still wrong.

>>10366926
To single moms, maaaybe. Otherwise nah.

>>10366926
Nope
>>10367395
Not even a maybe, no single mother will tolerate a 3-4 scrote-bitch.

I've been watching anime again since I haven't had much of anything better to do and I'm kinda surprised I was ever as into as I was.

>>10366926
They do, idk what those anons are saying. There are plenty of ugly people who are married, being attractive is not the norm. Keep in mind 5/10 is average in looks, so a 3 or 4 is just a bit below average, not even deformed-tier. But if you have really high standards and are expecting to get a 9/10 gf in her early 20s while you're ugly and in your 30s, you won't have any luck.

>>10367393
I'm saying the average age overall, not done by gender because there have been both men and women in this thread talking about relationships in their 30s.

There are newer studies than the ones referenced on wikipedia.

And no, I'm not wrong, even if you specifically want to talk about how women do face more pressure to marry earlier than men. It doesn't disregard the fact that even if we used your numbers, those are still averages, and lots of people will fall above and below them. Not to mention this doesn't include couples who never plan on marrying for whatever reason.

And referring to women/men as "females/males" makes you seem more like the person who needs it pointed out that this is the "female board."

Wanted to wear Lolita (classic) yesterday because I had to go into work (once a week) to cheer myself up, but then didn't given the current situation and since everyone is on edge. But in the train to work I sat next to someone wearing sweet, she was a fatty chan but still, it brightened my day. On my way home there was another one waiting on the platform, also sweet, all ready for summer, perfect coord and loaded up with btssb tote bags. It really made my day and when I have to go in next week I'll definitely have my frills out and hope I can make someone's day too.

>>10366873
Dude, if you have a steady income you have money to watch what you eat and go to the gym. Once you have a decent body, you're already way ahead of what 80% of dudes look like, especially in IT. If you don't put in the effort, no, attractive girls aren't going to give you a second look. The virgin part is the least of your problems.

>>10367453
Ok scrote

>>10366926
The older a woman gets, the more desperate she is to get married, generally. Chasing after 25 year olds won't work well for you, no.

>>10367488
tfw the gym won't help when you're short
tfw become a fit manlet ;_;

>>10367602
Men 5'6" and under are my preference. Plenty of women out there who don't care about height or prefer short dudes.

>>10367602
A fit short guy is still better looking than a skinny or fat tall guy desu

I keep seeing Lolitas still going outside, going to restaurants, and buying in bulk. It's great that they have money but with the world in chaos and so many people in danger, I don't feel like being a part of this community anymore. Too many selfish people exposing others and being selfish. The worst offender is some popular Lolita in my comm who got booted from Florida due to the virus and tried setting up a meeting here claiming people weren't taking the virus seriously in Florida. I checked her instagram and she said she got fired because of the virus.

>>10367428
What if I have money and am funny :^)

M-m-my female friends tell me I'm a 6 that could be an 8 if I work out and groom/dress better, I-i-i have hope right????

>>10367514
what is with this fucking board and using the word scrote I see it spammed in other threads. is this a new generation zoomer thing adopting a British term because I have legitimately never seen the word used widespread before.

Is this board mostly 18-22?

>>10367706
Bro if you Google scrote and rebit its from a toxic femcel sub called female dating strategy. This board is 90 percent ugly fat women who are incredibly bitter about the world so they get off on insulting men. They don't belong on 4ch they need to go back to rebdit

>>10367487
Aw man I want to meet lolitas in the wild

>>10367706
I'd say 4chan as a whole is in that age range, if not younger. This board actually leans higher in age and is mostly women. It's just a term to throw around at the men on here who thirst after women and yet still shit on them, like >>10367707.

>>10367713
1) 4Chan is definitely 25+
2) Scrote is literally a female incel term thats the equivalent of "roastie" that male incels use

This board is full of hateful incel women, its like the 180 of something like /r9k/

>No cons until June, as far as I know
> No places to expend money, but also not getting extra cash from con-work.
> Finally able to save money.
> Starts buying games and shit online...

At least i have some extra cash left...

>>10367717
4chan as a whole is definitely not 25+. Most people who use this site are in high school or university.

I'm not gonna argue the origins of the term, but it's used here as a joke. Women on this board aren't "hateful incels," and it's nothing like /r9k/. It's just a board that is primarily women, and you get guys on here posting shit like, "how i get cosplay gf" or "wahh why girls no like me even though I'm jobless, have bad hygiene, and unrealistic standards" and it's annoying to deal with.

>>10367707
Stop acting so testerical you scrote, it's very unbecoming.

>>10359432
>be 14
>discover cosplay
>make my own kid Link cosplay
>don't go to any cons bc I have no idea what a con is, I was very sheltered without friends
>be in high school, go to cons
>graduate, friends and I all separate
>hear nothing but drama from cons
It feels like dirt now. I remember discovering it through cosplaylab so so long ago and I fell in love with the hobby and now it's just so grim to even think of going to a con.

Probably doesn't help that my anxiety sucks.

>>10367728
Why do women come up with the most unfunny copies of words like roastie? It's even already British slang. That'd be like male incels calling women "vagene"

>>10367724
I'm sorry but there's no way this board is mostly underage. I'd hope most people were posting here in late 2000s early 2010s and not literal zoomers born after 1995

>>10367692
If I'm a buff manlet, does that mean it's possible for me to marry an amazon to lovingly raise future colligate athletes with?

>Body ready 4 ice cream parlour glory
>TFW everything sold out in 3 seconds
>dead inside
>Impulse Buys Candy Sprinkle to satisfy craving for 2010 Sweet
>At least this print is cotton

>>10367732
ok scrote

>>10367733
Hate to break it to you, but lots of the people who were posting in the early 2010s here are still only like 22-25 now, and they are not the majority users of this site. Most people on the site as a whole are younger than that.

>>10359432
I broke it off with my bf of 7 years and now he's dating a cos slut who's the age I was when we met.

>>10367773
He sounds pretty based

>>10367695
I love skinny tall guys

>>10367773
Girls are more receptive toward older guys than vice versa. Sorry fellow Christmas cake.

>>10367773
Hey, you broke it off for a reason. He's a shitty dude. Revel in knowing you got to dump him instead of the other way around.

>>10367773
Sounds like he's an immature manchild. You made the right call.

>>10367773
>cos slut
Sounds like you're salty he upgraded to a newer model and you're taking it out on her.

>>10359432
everyone's neet now and picking up all these hobbies and I don't have anything to really feel special over anymore being a shut-in for 6 years and only having a wide range of arts/crafts hobbies to show for anything. this pandemic thing is just another month for me but seeing everyone complain about how bored and frustrated they are over staying inside for more than a day also has me feeling lower than I've been in a while, it's a reminder I was never really normal. truth hurts I guess, I'll probably try to go outside after this is over, hopefully it's not too late to start my life

>>10368167
Where are you from, anon? Maybe you can find a gull to go outside with.

Whoever is shitposting in EVERY thread needs to off themselves. We are all suffering from the virus.

>>10368167
damn this is sad. are you mooching off your parents too?
