Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?How do you even make friends at a con?I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people. There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.
>>10908990Yeah it's normal. Happens to me all the time. Most people just want the photo. Especially if you're in a high traffic area like a corridor or vendor hall where people are constantly on their way somewhere.Next time try breaking the ice by complimenting them and asking a question while you have their attention. Like "Thanks! I love your _, where did you get it?" The roll from there. If they're interested in talking they'll engage, if not they'll make an excuse and leave. It'll help if you have a friend with you as social proof that you're not a loner weirdo. Then you and your friend can team up with the new people you just met and hang out a while.This will work best at meets, interactive panels, etc, basically you want to be at places where people congregate and stay for a while rather than places where people are busy and just passing through. That way you're not interrupting their itinerary by trying to make friends. Avoid panels that are serious or presentation-focused though, that's like going to a movie on a first date. You're not actually going to talk to people and make friends if everyone is silently focused on a fucking powerpoint the whole time.
>>10912145Then you haven't seen enough anime. Seriously just talk about anime.
>>10908990might be a switzerland thing idk im an american
>>10908990lmao, I'm 36 yrs old, I just head straight through to the shopping stands to see if anyone is selling some interesting artbooks and then I fuck off. I'm at the age in where I can only appreciate cosplaying through the internet and silently so, less people think I'm a potential sexual predator.
>>10908990It's a paradox. If I saw a person- not even just a qt, literally anybody- out in public or at my job or whatever that was into anime, it would be extremely easy to start a conversation hit it offBut it in a con, literally everyone there is into it. So that means nobody (including you) is special or has some special insight. At that point it's back to square one.
Foid here,I'm starting to think cosplaying is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10904551Sure it might not be ideal but that’s the thing, women are unable to grasp how unwanted the average man is and the effect that has. I’m friends with some ugly fucking chick, fucking acne land whales with horrible hygiene, they still get hit on regularly and act as if it’s horrible.Meanwhile even when I’m at my lowest and most depressed, as a fit successful man I’m unable to get even bottom tier pussy like them. At any moment they could just say yes to a man’s advances. But for me to have a chance I need to win the fucking lottery. Keep in mind I did eventually get a girl, but it was purely luck after a decade of bullshit, and it’s still me settling hard just because she’s at least thin.
>>10912849you probably just have a terrible personality
>>10912691nice of you to assume women can't be eugenists. I wish all manlets and dicklets would kill themselves. you're useless to society.
>>10912903>you're useless to societystop being mad just cause your vagina's depth can be measure in fathoms

>107 days until Fanime>No vaccines but still have mask mandate in placeDid you get the hotel you wanted?What are your cosplay plans?How are we feeling about this year?
>>10912568>body scannersI guess the scanner images will also be for sale.
>>10912636So Fanime is eating shit because some dude wanted to get a Tesla and work on his house?
>>10912683i'm sure it's only part of the reason.
Former staff here ama. drinking rn so might not respond coherently>>10912636Want to touch on this thogot pushed out after nearly throwing hands with Craige when I found out about his budget fuckerypretty sure it's been a shell game between FANS, ARG, CWA and Fanime for years and they're trying a hail mary by throwing him under the bus now that the attorney general has sent them a 60 day notice to get their ducks in line or things get referred to the franchise tax board
>>10912937looks like dude also got divorced too>>10912638the scanners don't show anything besides the general locations of "potentially dangerous items." if you want some hot cosplay photos you'd be better off using whatever camera you actually have.
Anime North is only a month away, anyone else going but not buying a ticket this year?

>>10912843You have shit tier taste lmao.
>>10912831Can gen X please wear tights. 40/50 year old legs should not be on public display.
I did a jax cosplay and at least 3 women wanted me to fuck them what the fuck is wrong with people.
>>10910879No I want to fuck 0 women im gay.
People who go to cons are mentally ill. I used to dress up as orochimaru and the amount of girls that told me that wanted me go back to their rooms and fuck with the cosplay on was stupid. I didn't. Because I was always in a relationship when I went to cons. (Stay loyal.) But like it was weird to see what some of those girls were into.

>>10912614The way everyone wears their pants/panties in the comic is too comically low rise to actually be comfortable and has a super high risk of having a wardrobe malfunction.

>>10912539I recommend https://handcraftedhistory.blog/saljes/They also have some tutorials up if you are interested in making your own items.
>>10912738Which pole do you mean?Ive also heard good things about perkele viking store, does anyone have experience with them?
>>10912738>>10912745Thanks anons! now for the hardest question, where do I find quality calf length leather boots? I'm willing to spend extra for form and function if possible.
>>10912839Perkele is really good. They've raised their prices a bit over the last few years, but I've gotten some great bargins off their sales tab. Decent customer service, and I've used the same wool tunic and linen undertunic from them for at least 5 years at this point and they're still good as new.

>>10905846Really the most difficult part is just getting the shades. Maybe facepaint if you're dedicated to accuracy but for the most part it's pretty easy.

>>10912932No no I already have my own pair of shades I was just meant that the shades are kinda something you'd have to seek out, not as common as the rest of what bro wearsThanks anyway though
I'm going to attend and cosplay at FanExpo Philadelphia this year. I was just wondering if anyone else was going to attend or if anyone's been there before.>ARE YOU GOIN>WHAT ARE YOU DOIN>WHAT ARE YOU COSPLAYIN>HOPES FOR CON
>>10910572It's a comic con, so more Western oriented. It used to be Wizard World, but rebranded after they were bought out.
Thinking of going since it's close by.How is the arcade?
MIGHT go on Sunday. Original plans fell through.
Shouldn't have let my fiance con me into waiting in the neil newbon line. It's wayyyu too long
Arcade was pretty lackluster. Still fun, but I wouldn't go more than one day since I don't really care that much about Marvel/DC/Star Wars.

>>10912541Megan Thee Stallion could’ve lined up her concert with AX too but it is what it is
>>10912933two weeks beforehand is far enough that it doesn't count as an issue. she's also doing a whole ass tour across the US.

>>10912558just trying to appreciate the effort op put into designing and making original dresses, if you hate them that's fine but you could at least say what u don't like and actually contribute to thread discussion. peace and love <3
yeah i agree, i normally don't like it but this is the one time i've seen it work well bc it fits the theme and she has the same/very similar trim on the collar
