    be me

    Heading out for a night on the town to court some ladies!

    I donned my finest XXXL Dragon Ball Z Hawaiian shirt and my cleanest pair of cargo shorts and prepared to go a-wooing!

    I wander into the local discothèque and find a good spot in a corner where I can hold court with some erudite women!

    I start winking and beckoning to every potential waifu who walks by, but to no avail! I even tried shouting at them from across the room! Do they not realize that I’m wearing my lucky socks???

    After about 20 minutes the bouncer tells me I have to leave, because people are complaining about the smell. Apparently my viril musk was overstimulating some of the patrons…

    Disgusted, I wander home. It’s just as well, with so many damned lesbians evehwhere what hope does a gentlesir have of finding true love?

    You can’t make friends without initiative. People would assume that you want to be left alone or won’t care about you at all. You need to talk to people. Listen to the conversation that is going on and chip in without being disruptive, and if they dont want your company, respectfully leave.

    That was me coming back to France after being used to pubs in Ireland. Took a while to accept you can’t really chat with strangers in French pubs the same way you can in Ireland.

    Ended up going to Couchsurfing meetups, boardgames nights, etc.

    It takes time and efforts but you can make it Anon!
