Being the ronery guy I am, I want to see if there's anyone nearby as ronery as me. I figure everyone can post their age, sex, and area with maybe a city near theirs.
Me: 22/M/California, USA (near Moreno valley)
Can you travel, OP?
Hm, sure.
18/m/Tucson, AZ.
20/m/MA
18/F/Seattle
15/m/Sydney, Australia
18/F/Western PA
20/M/Fairbanks, Alaska
22/f/sydney or wollongong, australia
23/M/Minnesota
18/m/Sco
25/m/Swe
18/m/ca (near the border)
is useless
23/m/honduras
wollongong...
hee hee, silly town.
19/m/Newcastle (Australia)
>>22
Yes, it is a silly town, and i am ashamed to live near it.
>>2
Depends where. Within a 10 mile radius or around LA wouldn't be hard, but besides that...
>>20
My personal problem is that I'm ronery, and there are probably people who feel the same. :(
Though, this thread is more just to see who's out there and who's nearby. Especially for those with hikikomori tendencies and whatnot, who wouldn't mind meeting people sorta like them as much as they would with normal people.
Also, sign up at anonidate.com. Let's all request a hikikomori category.
>>26 I agree that we should all request a hikikomori category. I just sent an e-mail to the admin requesting one. Obviously, the more people who request it, the more likely it will be that one is made.
It's practically futile - hikikomori is defined as the opposite of dating.
>>28
Maybe. They could probably pull it off on 2ch, though.
Also, contrary to what you see on Welcome to the NHK, most real hikkikomoris don't even own computers, much less post on forums.
Fail.
>>32
I lol'd because you are actually answering his question
>>30
Really? Where did you get this info from?
I wouldn't be surpirsed if they didn't post on forums, but you would think they would at least be file sharing on share and playing erogames all day. As well as trading stocks, like some known hikkis.
Shutting Out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost Generation by Michael Zielenziger.
He's a foreign correspondent in Japan, and interviewed some recovering hikkikomoris for the book. Also talked to several therapists and social workers who are struggling to deal with the hikkikomori phenomenon in the face of a government and society that largely pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Zielenziger then goes on to use hikkikomori as a metaphor for a contemporary Japan still trying to claw its way out of recession. Fascinating book, really.
>>35
guess the majority of hikkis in the news, stereotyped, and on the 2ch /hikki/ board are just a minority, then.
Protip: The majority of anyone in the news is a minority.
Getting back to the point, are there any hikkis who actually signed up for anonidate? I wonder how they feel about this.
I did - but I think my picture and desc. scares people away. My picture is where I have makeup on and I look like a visual kei artist, but my profile says 'schizo/paranoid'... I should change it, but I'm not actually too serious about anonidate anyway.
I signed up for Anonidate and looked through in the Seattle area, the impression I got was that these women are the female versions of mouth-breathing neckbeards.
Only 3 females have replied? Meh.
24/m/IL
>>42 That's only 3 more than the total number on the Internets.
I looked at anonidate, but I'm not a /b/tart, otaku, goon, gamer, wow fan, and definitely not a furry.
21/F/NJ
I'm already on Anonidate, but it's a little sad that I'm the only girl within quite a few miles of where I live.
There are 7 girls near me.
But the only otaku is friggin bi. ;_;
What's wrong with bi? Doesn't that normally mean you have a chance whether you're male or female?
That just means you have the possibility of hot girl-on-girl action sometime in your relationship.
No, it means the other person has twice the opportunity to pick someone other than you.
>What's wrong with bi? Doesn't that normally mean you have a chance whether you're male or female?
Actually, I've never looked at it that way. Maybe that means they're desperate. :p
>That just means you have the possibility of hot girl-on-girl action sometime in your relationship.
But I wouldn't want that.
I'm sorta a moralfag. I have nothing against bis and lesbians, but I would want at least the first few women I date to be straight.
>>49
But if they were lesbian they wouldn't even pick you, so bi is definitely better.
>>50
I wish I were bi, man. There are always a billion posts from guys on personals boards offering to suck dick. Women never make such posts.
There are women like that, too, but if you're looking for someone decent, that's not exactly the ideal place to seek a significant other. Those are the types of people who are just in it for the nookie, after all.
18/m/Massachussets
>>54 I'm just in it for the nookie anyway.
Or to put it more precisely, I crave sex, but I do want a long term relationship and if it happens to be the same person for both then woohoo, triple 7.
bump for new blood
Gentlemen
Abandon your hopes
bmup :(
18/M/Texas
i want to poz it up in atlanta
Gawd, the simplest thing is an e-mail address...which really doesn't give you away at all.
Ahem, 21/M/Blacksburg or Virginia Beach, VA
Someone here needs to be from Tucson. I don't even want to date, I just want to talk to someone of the opposite sex because I'm quite a girly boy myself. We could write poems, or draw hot animu guys sleeping together, or just, like, talk about our feelings. Yeeaaaahhh..... (I'm 18, and not a fat, ugly, short, or white guy!!!!) !!!!!!
18/M/Leamington Spa, England
21/m/fl/orlando
not single. just kinda short on friends
18/m/Canberra
WANT FEMTARD
20/F/MX
wow, what a sausage-fest
Heh. I had a snappy comeback to that remark, but I decided against it.
Ah, what the hell. 23/m/CA. Of course...I could be lying. Hell, we all could.
18/M/OR/Ronery
21/M/Ireland/VeryRonery
20/m/NYC
some college
does not like sports
ESL
unemployed
17/M/Worcester, England
Too bad. No one aside from OP and meself are in California. And here I kinda wanted to hang out with someone.
I live in Long Beach, by the by. >_>
>>75
I used to live in Long Beach up until January of this year, now I'm in Dallas, TX. [29/M] Sorry!
I have family in El Paso, though. XD Alas, I've not visited them in years.
I saw a guy today with a iichan button on a green trucker hat at a genhgis tron concert in atlanta.
I was going to ask him if he wanted to go butt2butt, yet I backed out of it :|
>>76
I've got some family that I visit atleast once a year in Dallas. I live in San Antonio myself.
>>40 Vis kei artist?
Haha, you sound cool to me, but I'm weird...
It's a clothing style and musical genre in Japan. Quite popular stateside, but is actually pretty underground in Japan except for a few mainstream bands like X[Japan] (defunct), LunaSea (once on hiatus but not anymore), Dir en Grey (abandoned the Visual-Kei style out of disgust), and Pierrot (defunct). It's kinda like a mishmash of glam rock, hair metal, shock rock, kabuki and over-the-top theatrics.
Oh, I know. That's why I said you sounded cool, haha.
Most people would probably be weirded out, though.
Girl here, btw.
FUCKING GODDAMN COMP MAKING ME TRIPLE-POST WITH THY INFERNAL SLOWNESS.
82 here. A/S/L, 81? LOL
whats ronery?
Well, there's really no reason that we can't keep talking, is there? I could always use more friends. Online, penpals, whatever. :P
Gotta tell you, though. I'm taken. expects her to lose interest XD;; But yeah. If you don't mind THAT, I see no reason why we can't keep talking.
http://www.anonymousspeech.com/
Based in Tokyo, lol.
Actually...I don't have a Myspace. The only reason that is is because EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER wants me to get a Myspace, so I'm vehemently exercising my right NOT to do what everyone wants me to do. :P I have a gmail, though... ^ ^;;
>>96
Haha, I used to be like that until I discovered the girl I have a serious crush on had one. Then I felt suddenly somehow felt bored enough to create an account. How weak can we be in these moments, I ask you... orz
Oh I know how you feel. I drink like a fish and smoke like a chimney, but once upon a Tuesday, I gave up all my vices because the girl I was in love with TOLD ME TO. I was TOTALLY WHIPPED. It was pathetic.
>>96 I only suggested Myspace because it's a well-known social networking site where I can see your pics. If you wanna give me your gmail, that's cool too. :]
v15u4l.ke1.junk13 [at] gmail.com. Drop me a line. Oh, and the whole [at] thing is just me trying to bot-proof myself. No spaces and put the @ where it's supposed to go. ;D
Wow. So >>100 you're into visual kei or am I just reading that wrong?
No, I just dress like it and listem to the music because I absolutely DETEST it. What do YOU think? XD
Sarcasm translation: O'course I do, genius. ;D
Wow, don't hesitate to tell us if you manage to arrange an actual meet-up or something, guys!
Wonder if 4-ch can bridge the gap...
One of the reasons I would like to start using a tripcode is that I think it might be a way to make friends. I used to frequently visit a few forums and have made two friends; both happened to end up in failure but it was nice while it lasted.
25/F/G...ermanland
>>106
well i thought if i just put G no one might have a clue where i am 8D;
You could have put Deutsch...but that might have been incomprehensible to some, and shortening it to Germ would have been...vaguely insulting? =D;;
>>107
DA BIG G IS IN DA HOUSE.
Also, when asked where I'm from online, I usually respond with "Naziland", most people seem to understand that just fine! ;)
(20/M/Germany->BW; Close to Heidelberg and/or Karlsruhe)
That makes it sound like a demented theme park. XD
I would hate to go on the rides at Naziland...
>>105
Oh come on. There's nothing wrong with being from Germany. I don't see why you had to try to hide it.
I want to visit Germany... Leipzig... Hapsburg...
>>113
i didnt want to hide it at all
LMAO Naziland themepark just made my day
I suppose that's up for speculation. Time is relative to each person experiencing it, after all.
18/M/Texas, USA (Central Texas)

18/m/ny
Even if somehow we could meet up what would we do?
15/m/FL
>>135
we could lurk in each other's prescence. I swear, #4-ch is the quietest IRC channel ever. but yeah, a meetup would be awesome.
Uh,
18/M/CA, Rancho Cucamonga.
20/M/VA
15/M/Singapore
Am I the only one from Singapore here?

ARE THERE ANY GIRLS FROM SINGAPORE IN HERE?
20/M/Seattle, Occupied Cascadia ("State of Washington")
Very much interested in a 4-ch meetup
>>147
Seconded.
Does anybody want to exchange emails or just have a chat via MSN?
My email/MSN is falling __ feather @ hotmail.com, for >>146 or anyone who wants to chat. (Remove the spaces in the email, it was setting off the spam filter.)
Just don't think of me as girlfriend material - I'm taken.
>>149
Are you fucking stupid or are you actually out for encouraging the sexual desperation of some love-starved nerd?
17/m/nv
las vegas
22/m/KY. :( I'd do a meetup, but I doubt I'll find anyone else from Kentucky here.
I'm interested in getting to know more people. If I was out to make people more desperate, I wouldn't have been honest about my relationship status. If people don't want to talk to me because I'm taken, so be it.
Yeah, it does. I know what it's like to be alone - no real friends, and of course no romantic prospects. That's the reason I jump on any chance to meet new people. I was not aware that this thread was out-of-bounds for females not desperately hoping to hook up with whoever they meet. I suppose I stand corrected. eyeroll
17/m/uk (London)
I'll gladly meetup but only in a public place :)
>>155
Don't listen to him, he's just bitter because he won't be getting any :/ Nowhere in the thread does it say SINGLES MEETUP OMG so do whatever you want.
I got nothing better to do here, so.
17/M/Philippines.
yea,that's right^^
>>158
It doesn't need to say that, in the end it's about finding someone to ream
16/M/UK (near Coventry)
I'll meet up, but only somewhere public.
Would anyone be willing to speak to me via MSN? I'm not very good at keeping the conversation alive. But all I do is sit on the computer feeling lonely.
Preferably people in the same time zone (gmt+10) or close but I don't mind people from other time zones.
16/M
I'm always up with a friendly chat. Email me (see Link) and we'll exchange SNs.
