I never understood why you'd be hostile or gross to a woman who plays games. Everyone's dream (mhm everyone's) is to have a gamer wife, but then they just push them away. Just be nice, have some good converaatikns and make a friend.

No. Become the gamer wife. Take the estrogen :3

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 23 hours ago

Oh I so would date a gamer girl! Provided she is at least 25+, and not MAGA.

[-] gegil@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

This is abdolutely opposite in the gay online server in the game i played. The highest skilled players are the worst assholes.

[-] gandalf_der_12te 6 points 20 hours ago

yeah same here. low-skilled players (like me) are low-skilled because we play for fun, not for competition.

What about people who immediately mute all in-game chats?

[-] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

what about people who avoid online play altogether because the concept of spending your free time with random strangers who are mostly incentivized to dislike you while playing a game that others are likely cheating at sounds like one of the worst things imaginable

[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 day ago

idk, I guess those are the smarter people?

[-] strawberry_enjoyer42 16 points 1 day ago

the smartest people VC with their online friends while they play :3

Lwk, if you're looking for friendship, I could be your (online) friend.

We already have a lot in common lol

[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Wdym, what do we have in common?

[-] strawberry_enjoyer42 12 points 1 day ago
  1. we're both fediverse users
  2. we're both femcels
  3. we're both gay (im guessing)
  4. looks like you're a unix-enjoyer like myself (couldnt resist a lil snooping) :3
[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

damn, really nailed me with that one.. fuck

[-] Fredthefishlord 4 points 1 day ago

Basically anyone can make friends if they put in the effort. It's one of my firm beliefs

[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

amazing, i'm glad that's your belief... sounds like you've never been depressed or lonely

[-] Fredthefishlord 3 points 1 day ago

Lonely is exactly the shit I'm saying is fixable. Depressed, well, a large part of depression is about preventing you from putting forth effort. So like, yeah, it can fuck that up. But you gotta be optimistic. Like if my anxiety ridden ass can do it most people should be able to

[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

THEN TELL ME HOWEWW pleaseeee

[-] Fredthefishlord 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

There was a couple of methods I used to find people to talk to. Some with little chance of long term friends but great practice. Traveling through hostels and night life in foreign countries is a good no risk way to practice. Just talk to people in the lobby and bars and if it fails who cares you're 5k miles from home. It's good practice.

From there, taking a language class at a local community college for a language you like. This is more if you're under 30 for effectiveness. A more out there language, like korean, polish, Japanese is probably more effective. But honestly any works. Great way to make friends, if you keep at it and get involved or make a club.

Another way is participating in local activism. Everyone is there for the same purpose, so it's easier to talk to people. Plus, they're used to outreach so they'll reach to you first if you just show up and stand around, which is great because it means you don't need initiative. From there you can just keep showing up, and it at least supplies a consistent social interaction every so often.

Another way is be an alcoholic and go to bars and chat up as many people as possible with liquid courage.

There's a few services like timeleft, 222.place that are effective in major cities. Great way to meet people, none of the bullshit dating apps have.

Being in a union is also a great way to build comradery and meet like minded people who are easier to talk to. Again, these people do outreach, so they'll hit you up first. And also buy you beers.

Can you tell that I love politics? Lol.

Basically, just go to social events. Not the community gatherings that pretend to be social but in reality are everyone coming in their own groups. I'm part of an activism group that runs bike ride socials it's a great time.

Be active. Physically. Looking decent helps get to know people, as much as I hate it.

Key to all of this, is after x amount of times meeting, you need to try inviting them to things outside of the main activity. Start easy, sports if they like sports, maybe a local festival related to the subject. That's how you lock them in.

[-] de_lancre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But dude right tho. When you depressed it's natural that you can't put any effort, hence you can't make friends. When I'm depressed I don't even talk to anyone, kinda impossible to make friends that way, you know?

[-] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

alright but like, what if i'm not depressed? then what? how to make friends, how to meet new people?

[-] de_lancre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

If I knew you wouldn't see me on this site.

[-] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

What kind of things do you like to do? Join a club, or team. Or whats something you think you might like to do? Take group lessons, or join a club and admit you know nothing and want to learn. People love sharing their hobbies. Mahjong, tennis, book club, home brewing, hiking, knitting, bird watching, ball room dancing... anything. Hang out in the organized setting multiple times, then if something clicks, hang out outside of the group. "Hey we should play mahjong at my place. Know another 2 people who we could play with? " "that was a great hike. Im hungry. Anyone want to get lunch?"

Take initiative, but dont force it.

[-] gegil@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Even this is unrealistic in the current world. Everyone spends time online, and at least in my region, the only offline clubs or groups i could find are for kids, not adults.

[-] Fredthefishlord 2 points 1 day ago

Then make one yourself. Organize, post it around online, and more likely than not a few people will show up

[-] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You say that, but my wife and i have done most of the things i listed above and made friends this year. We joined a gym that had tennis group lessons and now we meet just with people to work out, i joined a soccer team and now have been meeting up with folks for watching world cup games. My wife joined a mahjong class and now has regular games together with her class mates even though theyre not in class any more. She joined a book club that gets together once a month. My brother decided he wanted to get in shape so joined a triathlon club and completely changed his way of life and now travels the world with his new friends.

Either youre being disingenuous or you havent actually tried these things

For reference, we're almost 40.

[-] Jimbo@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

Haha yeah

Friends

[-] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sigma xp grindset.

Pretty spot on. The most mysogynist individuals I've ever met were always the most ignorant humans in the room.

[-] silver@das-eck.haus 13 points 1 day ago

the study was in 2015? That's way after Halo 3's prime. Weird that they would choose that game then

[-] Actionschnils@feddit.org 28 points 1 day ago

I would assume they released the study in 2015. That means they were doing the research in the years before

[-] silver@das-eck.haus 1 points 2 hours ago

That makes sense

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level.
