>>74999This. I tried making friends on /soc/ a few times and no matter what you do, the people on there are either
a) horny moids
b) moids who might be nice until they inevitably "fall for you"
c) e-girls who want orbiters, not female friends
d) mentally ill girls who seek out other mentally ill girls to bpd it up with
e) "socialites" who are only interested in gossiping about tripfags and
f) autists who only look for someone to talk at endlessly, not to befriend
All of them suck and are a waste of time. /soc/ is the last place you should be looking for friends in.
Honestly what I recommend is hanging out in communities focused on your interests, not your social desires. You'll meet like-minded people and if you think someone's nice, you can start talking to them and see how it goes. Finding friends in loser-centric places is a bad idea for obvious reasons, but the worst part is that everyone is both desperate and flakey. Rinse and repeat.
