Description
Before someone I had a passing familiarity with on a site I used to frequent got me into the show, I exchanged maybe three or four sentences with other people on a good day. Nowadays I have to pry myself away from Steam and Discord to get some sleep at night. This show—and that person, who’s actually visible on the list—gave me a great gift.
It’s kind of freaky to look back on just how quiet and lonely my life was back then. I owe this show and community a lot. I mean I actually have to sort my friends now, for goodness sake!
Happy 7th Birthaversary, FiM!

What can I say? Mr. Ed just looks better with ’em.
Half of them never seem to want to do anything else.
D:
That is a way to start. Getting fit builds up confidence.
yeah I agree, I just don’t want to make people feel bad because they can’t figure out what they’re doing wrong.
not sure where I could travel, or where to meet new people. was thinking of trying out paying for an exercise gym at least, last thurstay, then last friday, then saturday, then sunday, etc.
Well. In my experience, you kae one or two friends under unexpected circumstances. But I know some people have really horrible luck dealing with people and find only jerks. Also, keep in mind that online friends are fine too.
25 is not too old. Anything below 40 is fresh, and even at 40 there is chance, just don’t stick to close in age people, otherwise one has lower odds. Dating nowadays is quite crappy already without such limits.
you kidding? most girls figure they’re too old by 25, much less 40.
and please don’t tell people that friends will come. it doesn’t always happen, even if you do everything right. how do you think someone feels if you convince them friends will come, and they still have no friends? instead say something like… “that’s your best chance at friendship.”
but otherwise, thanks for the advice, I guess…
Well. If you feel you are too old to be held as attractive (Probably way past 40 I assume) and not interested in looking for someone actually younger than you (I know it is taboo even though most old, especially rich, people date younger people) I understand why you would give up on dating.
But do not give up on friendship. Travel, meet new people, enjoy your life, friends will come.
well for instance I like talking about what could perform the function of money, without being so polarizing in terms of wealth. friendship currency, basically.
there is a point where it’s too late to find love. everyone’s already married except the ones too terrible for people to marry, and you already missed your entire sexual prime. then menopause starts to hit the women, and… game over, basically. plus as you get older, people start avoiding you, because they’re worried there’s something wrong with you, if you’ve been unable to get laid for that long.
it’s not like they were obliged to care about me. I’m not angry at people who treat me nicely, but aren’t interested in me, and don’t actively seek me out. I just can’t find any actual friends, so that’s all I got…
Well. I am curious about the alternative economics part.
On the dating part, it is never too late to find love, you should broaden your options though. Go out of your comfort zone, go to new places. I have never been in a relationship, and that is a bit of a nuisance, but I don’t give up on hope, you can’t be worse than I.
I think you should look for new friends, and give the finger to those who left you behind. They were never true friends after all.
started getting too old to have any hope of ever dating, stopped bothering to go to meetups. nobody ever wanted to get to know me outside them. so, now I’m alone all the time. I don’t know if you can help, honestly. people just don’t like anything I get excited about, like ponies or alternative economics.
How did that happen? Do you need any help? I know what having no friends feels like. Is such a drag.
no, I don’t really have any friends. nice to know the show’s helping some people though.
Don’t you now? I had some before watching the show, but I have more now… Mostly because of things unrelated to the show.

Hard not to relearn a few when just looking at them can make you a little happier.
Nice how well it lived up to its basic premise, no?
Yep, I’ve started doing that too, but there’s still so many to sort through. I’ve more or less always kept the same name (and if I changed it, I always changed back.)
I need to do some sorting/cleaning some day, but I really don’t know how I’d even go about it.
Right? That’s why everyone gets the name I know them by as a nickname. Even if that means half my friends list reads like “Bob (Bob)”.

Yeah, unfortunately my steam friends list is a mess because I’ve accepted a lot of random invites (I managed to clean up the groups I’m in, it got to the point I was in some group for gamers living in a town in Russia and I’ve never even left Ontario!) But it’s harder to clean up a friends list, especially since so many people change their icons and names, so I have no idea who is who anymore.
