/jp/ - Otaku Culture

greentext implying /jp/ users are ever near girls

i look pretty approachable so i've talked to a few but obviously it's not going to be of anything social or intimate, even with guys im worlds apart and probably wouldn't be able to talk about anything but sports with em

i cant find myself talking too much so im always going to be that guy who is apart from everyone else even if im with friends if ever meaning those awkward times wouldn't happen often to me

>acquaintances
Get the fuck out.

>>5909949
They certainly weren't friends in my book.

Friend was skyping some girl while I was playing GTA4. I showed her my asshole when she asked who I was.

>>5909970
I don't believe you have a friend.
Enjoy your Omegle.

I talk a lot when I first meet a girl and just act normal. Then when in my rambling I get into an awkward topic, I usually stop talking and become very quite; cursing myself in my head of how much of an idiot I am. When it's just with guys I just laugh it off, but I don't know, around women it just manifests myself into looking like an awkward creep. That is my main fault

I'm just about as awkward around girls as I am around everyong else. Except little girls. I can completely relax and act normal around little girls. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I haven't talked to a girl outside of my family in over 2 years. Last I remembered, I ignored them like everyone else. The last actual interaction I remember with a girl was in High school when she asked me what manga I was reading and tried to inform me about the anime club (that I purposely ignored).

Surprisingly, she did know about Yotsuba and tried to talk to me about Azumanga, but I passed the opportunity because my lunch break conveniently ended then and there. She told me to meet her at the club, but I never went. I never bumped into her again, which isn't surprising considering I don't roam the school much, and it was fairly large.

Children don't judge you.

I'm OK around girls, but I've never gotten one to have sex with me.

>Except little girls

>>5910011
They're more fun to talk with too. Talking with people my age is just boring, annoying, or simply infuriating.

>>5909928
Source?

I have no problem talking to women. I don't freeze up. I don't make awkward mistakes. I don't do anything of the sort.

But I don't allow them to make an impact on me. And in a similar fashion, I avoid trying to make one on them. I speak politely to a fault -- when asked about myself, I answer with something along the lines of "It's nothing all that interesting, really. What about yourself?" and then proceed to listen until they see fit to change the subject. In this way, I am always in a social comfort zone.

>>5910005
Because you don't care about your self image to them due to not caring about relationships.

How is it hard talking to girls most of them are nice.(all my friends are girls)

Get out of /jp/.

All of you people that are awkward around girls need to stop. It just makes you sound and look creepy when you're probably all okay people. Seriously, just be yourself and you won't have any problems. Everyone stuff up once in a while. If you fuck up then get over it.

Stop being a faggot, faggot.

there are no interesting girls where i live, they act like boys, i can't call this tomboy, they fight, talk trash, wears non-feminine clothes, not smart, not sexy and not even girly,
so when i'm near a girl i act like she was a boy, i don't care.

This is a high quality thread, I will certainly not report this.

Some people need to realize is that girls are just same as guys so you should treat them like you treat any other friend.

>>5910152
I can dance all day! I can dance all day!

>>5910164
Agreed. Stop acting like huge faggots.

It's not hard to talk to people if you're beautiful, in fact, if you're beautiful, life is easy mode. But if you're ugly, it's nearly impossible to do jack shit. People treat you like a shit stain if you're ugly, you're no better than a fly buzzing around shit to them if you don't have good looks.

>>5910356

thats probably one thing i don't share with others here, i find myself being too nice and open to help with whatever, yet somehow keep this demeanor of "better not ask too much from this guy he might feel bothered"

I practice by talking to my sister whenever she is in town. Still awkward as fuck around her, so I just avoid contact with anyone else at all costs. In fact last time I tried talking to her I ended up saying something offense (apparently), so I apologized via email.

Would /jp/ feel awkward around me?

>>5910463

I used to be really intensely nervous whenever I'd try to make a move on someone of the opposite gender. Eventually, I learned how to stop being so nervous around girls, but for some reason, I just wasn't interested... I knew I was supposed to be doing ordinary teenage male stuff, like chasing after girls, but I just didn't want to. By chance, I noticed that I was a lot more comfortable around other guys, and more attracted to guys, too.

And that, /jp/ is how I learned I was gay.

>>5910463
No, but a large majority of girl gamers are retarded and/or social outcasts for a good reason, such as they don't bathe or are hambeasts or are crazy. I'll treat you like an inferior like I do with every woman until you prove you deserve respect.

Although I am a girl, I cannot talk to girls. Especially ones who I don't think are stupid. I get retard nervous.

A person I knew in high school told me today that, in conversation, I sound like I'm nervous to speak, but when I do- I'm bluntly honest and sound like a jerk.

Guys are easy to talk to because they tend to be more nervous around me than I am around them. When I meet a confident guy, I'm extremely nervous.

When I'm talking to a guy I like, I go into panic mode and sound like a fake goof- completely destroying all hope. If there's a girl I like, there is no chance of conversation. Ever.

I'm not very awkward, I just talk normally. I just never got close to any.

I avoid talking to strangers in general regardless of the gender.
But when I have to I can at least pretend to be calm.

>>5909928
No they weren't. You're doing fine. Now stop thinking about it before you ruin everything by autistically ruminating on it until you talk yourself out of doing anything, fuckwit. Go out with them again and have a good time. Is it really so hard for you, /jp/?

>>5910479
Are you lesbian/bi/queer? That's what this sounds like to me.

>>5910518
she practically spelt it out

I don't make it obvious but I hate women.
I don't like men, either, but seeing women in pain makes my day.

>>5909928

...sauce?

I have gynophobia, so every time I see a girl I must punch her.

Why can't you just pretend to act calm and natural?

That's what I always do and it seems to work fine. If I'm in a situation where I think it would be uncomfortable to be myself, I can play the part of a normal person. To further help, you should read up on some normal hobbies to help the illusion. The only time this backfires is when people start to ask technical questions about myself or my interests and I don't know the answer, so it makes me look like I'm uneducated about my interests or myself. What kind of hobbyist doesn't know much about their hobby, right? What kind of person doesn't know about themself, right? They're not my actual interests though, and they're not talking to the real me. They're talking about the fake interests of a fake persona.

>>5910518
To get specific, I'm a bisexual. I don't take all women into consideration though. I just like what I like.

Only sweet, delicate, flower petal goddesses that smell like candy and innocence.

They are 100% off limits.

Wow....all this time i tough we were just having fun talking about girls like they are monsters....But it turns out you guys were serious all along....
No wonder you all are a bunch of creepy virgins

Reported for /v/ crossposting.

Last spring I had a health/nutrition class and there was a quiet but friendly and cute girl. There was a project where each group made a healthy meal and mine sucked ass pretty hard, but anyway her group made something that was pretty tasty and she went around offering some fiber crackers or something to everyone. When she reached my desk I quietly accepted one and mumbled "thank you" but the cracker was stuck in the bag/box and I couldn't get it out. I pulled really hard and she didn't expected that, so she fell forward and fell onto me in a way that our faces were centimeters away from each other. She let out a small gasp and everyone turned to look, her groupmates in the front stopped their presentation, then she pushed herself off of me pretty quickly. I must have apologized a dozen times, but after that I still dropped the class

I'm sorry Rena ;_;

>>5910541
What are your fake interests, Anon?

>>5910541
You don't even have to fake it. Just talk about your real hobbies like a normal person. You can talk about VNs, dakimakura, and even more bizarre stuff in mixed company. Just be slightly self-deprecating (you should all be great at this), learn how to take any jokes that are made, and don't be all creepy and intense.

Don't bring up your passion for brown loli beastiality guro or launch into a minutely detailed explanation of how you decided your waifu was the one and you started making your room into a shrine dedicated to her. Use common sense. You don't have to fake being a normalfag, you just need some INCREDIBLY BASIC SOCIAL SKILLS.

>>5910011
That's what you think.

>>5910558
You could be in an anime.

>>5910563
>and don't be all creepy and intense.
That's my main problem. When talking about stuff I'm not interested in I'm really quiet and hardly say anything. But when it's about my hobbies I keep going on and on without realizing it until someone points it out to me.

>>5910558
She didn't decide you were kaii enough for omochikaeri?

>>5910563
>talk about your real hobbies
>Don't bring up your passion for brown loli beastiality guro
Make up your mind.

>>5910574
Going on and on is one thing; anyone passionate about their hobby can and has done that before. Just don't get to the phase where you're rambling - cutting people off and going back to the same topic even once the conversation has moved on - and don't be inappropriate. If someone asks you why you like (for example) Touhou it's not acceptable to answer that it's because you love Reimu's armpits and yukkuri model scat porn while haahaa-ing. Even if that is the reason, tell them it's because of the challenge or the great music or something, wave it off, and keep the conversation moving. Use your better judgment.

Can you stop with the Horo, avatarfag? It's like I'm really in /g/.

>>5910590
There's obviously no hope for you though, Ren.

>>5910570
Maybe. This is the same guy who stood up the Japanese exchange student who asked him out to prom, if you remember that story

>>5910604

Please do tell.

I don't think i have any right to give my opinion here....
Since i live in Brazil and everyone is a bro
My deep knowledge in Visual Novels and Touhou made me get laid with several girls
Me and my girflriend pass all the time listening to Dai music and playing the Seacats
( LoL she likes to call it this way )
And while we do it we discuss our theories and etc....
( She prefers that ShKannon thing while i actually have a complete theory with fundaments and etc....but this is not the point right now....)
After i expose the several flaws in the logic of her pfff theory she gets kinda sad and mad at the same time and stop talking to me....
But i just give her a few kisses in the neck and whisper some dirty words in her ear so she gets turned on and have some hot sex damn....she is like a dream.....
I also introduced my girlfriend to it and she thinks its really cool and kawaii ( cute )
She plays on easy mode while sitting on my lap
I get hard and give her a few bumps and then she gets kinda mad sometimes....
But then we just relax kiss each other and go to our room to have some hot sex while she cosplay my favorite tohos
I think i am really living the dream....My life is perfect...
Right now she is sleeping at my side just waiting for the time to wake up and make me some hot chocolate and pancake.... ( they are really delicious i wanted you guys to taste it however i guess it would be cold when i send it to you guys by mail....)
Anyway my life is perfect and you guys probably won't have it exactly like mine....But if you work hard you can achieve about 35% of what i have
And that is already a huuuge move for you guys....
So cheer up don't ever think of an hero just because your life is shitty, because it is not! You are the one who decides if it's shitty or if it's great!
You want to have what i have right?
So work hard for it guys!
Bai bai guys cheer up

>>5910356
Haha, I remember something like this happened to me. I got some phone call from some girl at my college. I didn't know who she was, but apparently she was able to get my number from the school listing or some crap. She was trying to get me to give her money for some fund raiser thing for their club or some shit. I find it funny that there are actually people who would fall for it too. The conversation went something like this:

Her: If you can just make a small donation of $5

Me: No, sorry.

Her: Pleaseeee? It'd really mean a lot to me. Our club really needs the funds.
Me: No.

Her: But it's only $5.
Me: No. If there's nothing else to be said I'll be hangi-

Her: Wait, please? I don't want to bother you. You sound really cute. I'm a pretty cute girl. Maybe we can meet up somewhere sometime? Forget about the donation for now, I'd just like to talk to you for a little.

Me: No, sorry. I'll be hanging up now. Good luck with your fund raising.

Seriously wondering how many people give in when she tried to act cute.

>>5910609
You might have to work at them and practice, and I'm not saying you'll never have to endure any awkward situations. But if you really want to, YOU CAN DO IT. And it feels GREAT when you do.

I mentioned it at least twice since I see those posts in the archive. The SATs and video game playing later that night did happen, my mom was strict about not going, and a friend still brings up how he's annoyed that I didn't just go

Sounding pretty damn cool and edgy there, Internet tough guy.

I don't really talk to people. So I have no idea.

>>5910628
Your my hero
i want to be just liek you

I'm only awkward when I find girls really attractive. Even then I'm not ridiculously so. I mean, I've asked such a girl out before and we had a long and satisfying relationship, so evidently I'm not awfully terrible at it.

I am actually very charismatic and I pride myself on being able to get on very friendly terms in minutes.
Of course, this does not mean I actually like people.
But I sure can appear like I do.

I don't give a fuck about girls. Since I know they are not virgins, they are immediately out as potential romantic partners, so I don't act weird around them or look completely ridiculous trying to impress them like most men do.
Anyway since I'm ugly as fuck (skin diseases...), very few girls approach me, and when they do, that's always beacause they need something that nobody else can help them with. And I usually refuse to help them, since I have no interest in them.
Most of the girls in the West are guidos anyway (brown or orange skin being something I absolutely loathe) so I'm not missing out on anything.

My advice is you become all weird around girls because you're too shy : consider them inferior to you in every way, because they are. Would Gilgamesh acts all shy around a random whore ? Think about it.

Not really with most girls. I don't talk to any of them, and they don't talk to me. However, 2 semesters ago I was getting a required class out of the way for credits. Nutrition, whatever, it'll take care of the biology credits I need (fucking makes no sense for my major. fuck the way colleges steal your money).Class I'm in has some Japanese girl who came to America and is staying for a few years to immerse herself in English. I didn't care much though, I pretty much ignored her like most girls, but she sometimes eyed me during class. I'd usually just be on my laptop, since Nutrition is such a stupid class that I don't need to listen to the lectures. I don't usually have weeaboo stuff on my laptop, because I don't want people (narutards) to attack me and trying to become my friend.

However, I sit in a corner of the room in the back, and nobody really sits there. So one day I decide to look for covers of a Vocaloid song on Nico nico. I didn't notice, but at some point she sat somewhat near me, and was able to catch a glimpse of my screen. Before I knew it, she came up to me and said "You like Japanese stuff, right? I had a feeling you were that type of person. There was just something about you that made me think so. You can read what's on this page?"

Fucking first time I've been awkward around a girl in the longest. I really didn't know how to respond. I told her I was learning Japanese, but I certainly don't know enough to read the page. Rikaichan helps me out a lot.

I didn't have anything other than the Vocaloid cover on the screen. I was hoping she wouldn't say it, but she did.

"Do you like Japanese comics? Animation?"

Just wear a suit everyone....
Seriously it will solve all your problems
It will make you look rich
And with it comes lots of friends and girls

>>5910710

I froze up trying to think if I should answer truthfully or hide my powerlevel. If it wasn't Vocaloid, I would have been able to say no, that I only occasionally watch and read, but for the most part I don't know many series. In fact, I could have still been able to get away with saying that, but I couldn't say anything. She just kinda smiled, turned away without a word, and didn't speak again.


She then kept on approaching me every now and then, asking me questions here and there. I actually did ask her a few questions about Japanese, and in turn she did ask me for some tough English grammar stuff, or why a certain word was used in the context it was used in, despite her dictionary telling her otherwise.

The semester ended. Next semester I end up having another class with her, but she has an Asian friend with her (think her friend was Chinese) to keep her busy. She waves at me once when we see each other again, and I kinda raise my arm to wave back but end up looking down on the floor, taking out my MP3 player, and putting music on. Since then she hasn't spoken to me.


Don't really care much though, just feel shitty that I was actually phased by someone. I didn't even like her either.

Cool story, I know.

>>5910711
I wore a suit everyday when I was still working. Expensive, Italian ones. I didn't get anything. And no, I'm not fat, far from it.

>>5910721
Was it a three-piece-suit?
You know....The vest is the most important part

>>5910711
That's not how most of us want it dude.
Personally I wouldn't be satisfied with getting something this way.

>>5910711
I like the casual approach. I wear solid color t-shirts, khaki shorts, and sandals.

If you dress like a hipster you get a shitload of chicks. Just saying. Women who go for that look tend to not be my type anyway, but it has worked for me before.

I hope you take this on-board.

Whenever I read these types of threads I can't believe these things actually happen so I can't relate to them at all, and it feels really weird. Even all the negatives experiences...it seems like something from an anime or movie, really.

>>5910753
You should hear the stories I can tell you about my younger step-sister. They could adapt that shit into a shitty VN.

In informal settings I tend to curse like a sailor, and for whatever reason I always feel uncomfortable swearing in the presence of even the coarsest of women. Conversation tends to be kind of unintuitive when you have to make a conscious effort to censor yourself.

>>5910705
