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

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

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
