/feels/ - Advice & Venting

>>122454
I met my first one from my friend's friend group in undergrad. I met my second one in a reading group in my PhD. I met my third one from a mutual friend in high school. Now I'm 30 and think it's just genuinely impossible to organically meet anyone outside of school. Every person I know who's actually engaged or married (which is almost every woman friend) met their guy off an app.

Do you know which apps they used?

I met my first one in high-school. my second on off tinder (that relationship sucked ass), my third and fourth on 4chan and they were weirdly better than the tinder guy but still… I have very specific preferences and standards that most guys irl just don't fit

What board?

/soc/ lol. I know I know but I genuinely think I was able to form a connection better with them than a random moid from my country

Mix of Hinge and Bumble.

how did you meet them off 4chan? were you on /soc/ deliberately looking for a bf or what exactly was like, the progression? how old were you when you dated them? did you date in person or was it largely online?

Work. I asked one of the old guys he was friends with there if he was single and to tell him he should ask me out. I was expecting it to take a week or two if he did it at all but we had plans for the weekend less than an hour later.

On bumble. He’s the cute kind of autistic and was really shy. He brought me a flower on our first date and I decided he was a keeper.

/soc/ with intentional seeking for a boyfriend. be prepared for dick assault on the catalog, just zoom straight to the partner and friend finder threads

my bf is good looking rich and smart which is bonkers to find someone like that off an imageboard, im glad I found him before I drove myself mad talking and trying to connect with loser moids who have zero chemistry because they don’t know how to talk to a girl

Funny how 4chan has been mentioned multiple times here. My friend (a girl) found a guy here once, not as a bf but a friend for playing videogames. I've talked to him a few times but those were deep convos and he was super open, chill and empathetic. Of course he probably has his own moid issues I couldn't see in a civilized conversation but I was surprised there are decent human beings on /soc/.

>>122507
yes there are some decent human beings on there who are genuinely lonely and want to make friends online, those ones are the ones worth sticking to constantly trying to find them. the most you’ll get are horny moids in sheep’s clothing who pretend to be your friend then suddenly start acting lewd to you out of nowhere (typically by the seventh day since they can’t hold their degeneracy in long enough)

I was swimming with my sister at the local pool and we went to go pick up her boyfriend from his sword fighting club. He was getting destroyed by a huge guy with a claymore who looked and sounded frightening. When the bout was over we started talking, and the guy was hunched over, brow furrowed, staring off into the middle distance with an intense look, which was really intimidating. I honestly wanted to leave, but my sister just snapped her fingers in front of his face and he just turned around with this sweet smile and confused, bashful look. We talked and he was just so funny, kind and smart that I didn't want to stop, so I intentionally avoided getting a ride home with my sister and asked him instead. We talked all the way and I tried to stretch it out by going for dinner first, then going home, introducing him to my parents, asking him to try a cake I made, looking at my art etc. before I finally had to release him. I lasted a whole 4 hours before I asked if he wanted to go get coffee, but it took about 10 dates before my sister confronted him about not progressing the relationship, only for him to be stunned as he had no idea I was into him. I think what sealed the deal for me was the fact he never stared at my chest even once, and when I started talking about my weird hyper-fixation, he immediately recognised what I was talking, knew something about it, and was actually interested to hear me explain it in detail. Having a kind and loving partner who'll take an interest in whatever dumb bullshit I fixate on next is incredibly fulfilling.
