Tell me about con love, /cgl/. I want to live vicariously through your stories.

>> No.8660296

A myth. An urban legend. A meme.

>> No.8660312

I met my boyfriend of a year and a half at a con. I really love him but it's a little embarrassing when people ask how we met

Most the boys I've met at cons aren't dating material so be careful though.

>>8660292
The closest I got to con love was when a girl invited me into her hotel room and we made out. Since I was being beta as fuck, we talked a lot and at some point, one of her friends returned to the room and after a bit of talking, I discovered they were both in High School. After that, I made some awkward excuses then sheepishly left. One of the most shameful moments of my life.. since they also thought I was in HS.

How did she even get a hotel room? I thought you had to be at least 18 to even book a room; I remember when I went to a con when I was 15 or so and I had to hobo it up with a group of friends. But yeah, after that, I decided cons were for making friends only. I wasn't that much older than her(I just turned 19, she was either a Sophomore or Junior in HS)

Asians, not even once. You can't tell who's a 25 year old who looks 15 and who is a 15 year old who looks 25.

Don't date at cons dudes, just find true love elsewhere then bring your gf to cons. It may be rude to ask a lady her age, but you could fuck up pretty badly.

I went to Jack In The Box at 5:00 AM on Sunday, and while I was there I overheard four guys talking about what they had been up to at the convention, which it quickly became clear mainly involved sexually harassing women. I went back to the con, and about half an hour later I passed them in the hall. I didn't think much of it until I heard their voices from behind me:

>"Oh shit, it's that guy from Jack In The Box. I hope he didn't notice us."

Take some advice from one anon to another, it might've been better not to jump onto that boat. It seems like she has her own problems to deal with before going into anything serious with anybody else. She has to make herself happy before anything else.
You seem like a nice guy, anon, but you probably deserve a girl that loves herself, so that you can have a pretty stable relationship. A relationship isn't all about making one person happy, it's about making both of yourselves happy in the process. Another person's happiness won't necessarily make you happy, and sometimes you'd have to give yours up in exchange, which isn't right.

Sorry for the rambling, I'm just reminiscing off of a past relationship that really put me through a lot of experiences. Some things are just really hard to get over.

Basically, she doesn't think you're very interesting. Maybe it's because you're actually boring, or maybe it's because her idea of interesting is abusive relationships. Either way, the both of you aren't compatible.

If she ever tries to contact you again, you should probably ignore her.

Anon, let me give you some advice. 95% of the time, the lesbians you'll meet at conventions are batshit crazy and are just extraordinarily hormonal. I wouldn't look for romance at a con unless you've gotten to know the person throughout a five month period or more...

>> No.8662573

>>8662564
I wasn't actually looking for romance, just had an instant crush because physically she was my preferred type and then it just went from there because I saw her a few times a month for nearly a year. I was also a very naive and newly outed lesbian and barely legal so there's that as well.

I'm actually relieved it was someone like her for my first heartbreak instead of one of those crazy yaoi fanservice girls that make out with other girls just for photos and then are like "Ew no I'm straight."

I met my ex-boyfriend at a convention, I was Kairi and he was Sora from Kingdom Hearts, so we were pretty happy to see each other and it went on from there. It lasted for almost a year but he was really overbearing. Dumped him due to that and other issues with our relationship. Well I checked his YouTube the other day and "he" is now a "she" and makes videos about trans rights, feminism, etc.

Anyone have good experiences with Speed dating at cons?

I really want to try it but get turned off immediately to the thought of all of the good looking girls giving it a pass because of all of the cringey/awkward guys, which frees up slots for the desperate fatties.

call me shallow, but I've got standards.

Holy shit, this. I once had a guy come up to me and talk about mecha anime for half an hour. I was cosplaying from a slice-of-life series and said multiple times "I've never watched a mecha anime, it's not really my thing" and he kept on going. If I cared, I'd be doing more than nodding at you. Please, guys, do not do this. Ask her what she's interested in. You can show her your shit later on, if she wants to know.

I'm the Anon in the wheelchair who posted earlier. The reason why I became uncomfortable when the man at the con asked me about my handicap was because it took me out of my nice day and reminded me that I was anything other than a young woman at a con surrounded by friends. I have noticeable scars from surgeries and it's obvious there is something wrong with my legs. I was born with a skeletal muscular disorder and I wasn't in an accident, this is who I've been my whole life. I don't mind if I'm friends with someone and they eventually ask questions, but I've never understood why complete strangers feel that its perfectly acceptable to come up and ask "so what's wrong with you". I'd like to say that I'm one of those disabled people you see on tv that are fine with who they are and their bodies but I'm not, I have self esteem problems and I'm constantly worried that all people see when they look at me is my wheelchair. I understand the other anon's curiosity, my handicap was a large part of my story and I was vague, but I suppose I do wish the first response to my story wasn't "so what's wrong with you". Thank you to the other Anons who understood that.

Wanting to try it isn't out of desperation, if I was desperate, I'd go regardless if there was undesirables or not.

I've done gay speed dating and it was full of autistic normies and faggots. No Asian boys, either. 2/10 would not do again.

The guys waiting for the straight version were mostly neck beards and the girls seemed like a mix of hambeasts and Tumblr-esque trash. The ratio was worse than 5 to 1, too.

You can do better, and the fact you're on 4chan probably indicates that you probably wouldn't be a good match with most of the girls. If you just want your dick sucked, there are more efficient ways.

It started off using the robot9000 script made by Randall Munroe of XKCD fame. The script itself mutes you and didn't post your comment if it had been said before. Each consecutive mute on the same person was for exponentially (2^n seconds) longer, dropping a tier every set number of hours. Images were also one post only.

That was the only caveat, it was experimental, sort of a quality enforced /b/ (at the time of its inception, the shitposting on /b/ was very formulaic image macros and memes.)

It worked for a while, then people would get in the habit of just adding gibberish to the end of posts, altering one pixel in their photo, etc.

Eventually, it found a focus as a relationship board, and from there became a "that feel when no gf" board.

It had stints where it was prison gay, stints where they tried to be pua, and I guess recently they collectively lost their mind or something, and now hate all "normies".

Dude you made the mistake of falling for a woman too fast and she lost interest.

Look dude there's no use getting worked up over it though. She is doomed to a life of foolishness and frivolity, not you. Just learn from this experience and move on. Stop dwelling on what empty headed women thing so much.

Look, let me break it down for you.

IImagine a life where you have never been great at anything, never felt the urge to be great at anything, never felt that magnetic admiration to someone who was great at something, wanted to imitate and ultimately defeat him. Just nothing. Literally all you do in life is exist. Occupy space. pass the time. You're a chick.
You're bored,tweeting about your fucking hair and not even feeling any kind of happiness from it, just soothing your constant need to be bitter and cunty and petty toward other women. Every single thing you've done in the past year was mundane, shallow, and boring. You spent the last six hours reading kinda-interesting Reddit stories about people who made interesting Halloween hats for their kids or some stupid bullshit that you think is interesting and you may say is interesting but you're not really sure if it's really interesting. You're just fucking sitting there, gestating, fermenting, with a moist hole between your legs that guarantees you'll at least never have to get up and move around and work to support yourself.

And then you see men, over in some corner, having fun. You've never seen this before. What are they even doing? Instead of their consciousnesses merely sitting in their thick skull and revolving around itself, they are imbuing their conscious energy and intentionality into external objects, crafts, goals, projects. All the bitterness and cuntiness you feel nonstop seems to be absent, as they congratulate each other for being victorious, and happily learn from someone who defeated them. These creatures are truly content to be alive. They have found purpose in a purposeless universe.
And your gaze turns back on itself, on your self, and you realise you've never had that. You can never have it. You're just a stupid cunt.
So you get up, you walk over there, and you fucking ruin everything. Just ruin the whole fucking thing. The five seconds of attention you get will be worth destroying it. Because you're a woman.

Get it? There's no point in getting worked up over something as fickle and frivolous as a woman's attention. If she doesn't want to be with you so be it. Swap her out for the next one.

No good stories from me.

Met my ex when we were both cosplaying the same series. We talked for a while after that and started dating. I took some pics of her, the pics got big, she became "cosplay famous." Relationship went downhill but we stayed together for four more years, she was controlling and constantly suspicious of me, etc. Finally a con came up where I was sick and she went without me, and she cheated on me with some guy from the con, then let me be the one to give her the boot so she could make herself look like the victim. She then spread bullshit rumors about me that destroyed my reputation in the scene for a couple of years until everybody figured out she was full of shit.

Fuck con relationships. Hell, fuck relationships in general. I may be miserable, but at least I'm free and miserable.

Not the guy who posted before, but there are legitimate reasons to go to a speed dating kind of thing without being desperate.

I know I've considered it before, because it provides an easy environment where everybody is explicitly there because they're looking for dates or relationships and they're likely to share your interests. I don't approach random girls at cons because I don't like making people uncomfortable, and that's going to be the result of doing it 90% of the time, unless I hide my intentions, which is creepy and counter-productive.

Sorry to hear that anon. I feel like if I stayed in my last relationship, this would have been me. I feel like I did everything right, but the overly suspicious attitude and stuck up/self-deprecating attitude really made me exhausted with everything.

How retarded are you? There are a multitude of reasons why someone uses a wheelchair, a whole range of acquired and congenital conditions. Loss of mobility and loss of sensation do not always occur together, stop assuming everyone in a wheelchair has some kind of spinal cord injury.

But most importantly, even people with mobility impairments can live fulfilling lives, and have beautiful, therapeutic, meaningful romantic relationships.

I don't necessarily agree. If someone stopped talking to me, I immediately assume they hate me now or something. I am bad at stuff.

I usually avoid starting conversations with people I know if I just see them in passing too though. Like, I'll go out of my way down a different aisle at a store. I might not be normal

Bad experience here.
Long story short, met a girl at a con after talking online for a bit, hookup and eventually we start dating. After months she randomly gets all distant then breaks up with me over 'distance' despite her being the clingy one the entire relationship and goes out with a new guy.
I'm doing good with my current gf who I also met at a con, so it's all good now.

It wasn't long distance, should've clarified that point my bad. We somehow ended up living less than an hour from each other and she was always asking to drive to my place/pick me up so we could have sex and other couple things that led to sex.

Ironically, I was the one that didn't restrict who she hung out with (to the point where she watched anime with her ex who she's friends with) whereas she got really jealous whenever I talked to girls, especially at cons (Was new to cons at the time so I just talked to anyone regardless of gender)

I think he was saying the first message was from his crazy ex, which I could totally see. Sending a message saying she was his gf, then a message saying she wasn't his gf makes no sense, compared to her getting his phone somehow and deciding to "mark her territory" all over you.
Essentially, I doubt they were actually dating when he first kissed you.

It's rare I get confident enough in a friendship to want to try and go further. Usually because the ones I like don't want me and cant give a decent reason. Meaning like, hey I get you don't wanna date me, mind telling me what's so off putting so maybe I can have a chance with somebody else in the future?

I never went to cons looking for love or even wanting anything more than to dress up for a weekend.

Sad part is im in a relationship with somebody who I know loves me dearly but..... I often find myself pining for The past. Somebody I'd do as much as my current girl does for me... And I get where she came from now.....
It's way more complicated than I can fit in the post and I don't care to talk about it further but I will say this to any young man thinking he met somebody cool:
They're that cool, they may think you're cool too. Don't try and push it farther. Just realize they may want to screw you, just take it and leave it because as soon as you even remotely let them know you like them you lost.

Femanons you can try to deny it.... But it's true. Multiple occasions. Sad part is?

This. It is also in a more expanded sense referring to simply being awkward, if somebody "is spaghetti", they're probably shy and fumble their words, etc.

The meme comes from some fitness board, or maybe just /fit/, where people were talking about embarrassing moments and one guy mentioned his spaghetti he packed for lunch falling out of his pockets. I think he had them in ziplocs for some reason, but the notion that he had regular spaghetti just in his pockets, overflowing info the ground, just tickled people.

Especially since there's no reason to keep that in your pockets, I mean what the hell. It also helps that he mentioned them spilling out first, without explaining their presence.

So, from there, boards, especially /v/, used the term for being awkward, and it's gone on since.

Yes, but not in any visible way. I used to cut my hips, right under my underwear, but I figured that it would still be too obvious so I weaned myself off it.

Like... That's like saying "sometimes a hot dog has bones in it."

I mean, in a technical sense, yes, but most hot dogs should never have bones in them.

Holy jesus your eyers are so heavy set that the autists are screeching that you stole their style.

Your face is so generic that I'm afraid if you didn't get laid you'd shoot up a school.

The Ravens? You know how they're like possums? They lie dead at home and get killed on the road.
Probably describes the sex at >Bronycon as well to be honest.
