How to make new irl friends as a mid 30s nerdy dude?A lot of my friends have had families and don't have time to hang anymore and I miss being social.Inb4 start a family, besides issues with oneitis over my ex(I am waiting for her relationship to fail and her to rebound to me as she always does), I am poor and have no intentions to seek a higher paid career.
>>31679260if you can't afford to go out basically it's online video games or bar flies
>>31679268I am poor, but I am good at managing money. I rent a cheap room, I cook my own meals, I make a chunk above min wage but live well below my means. I have a bit over $1000 a month of free income after all my bills/food each month.
>>31679287similar to me lol
>>31679287do you like paradox games? ive been playing elden ring.>>31679260what kinda nerd?
>>31679370Growing up broke made me very frugal and good with money.>>31679376The only souls game I've played to completion is Demons Souls but I do have Elden Ring and have yet to start it.I like JRPGs and and read a ton of manga/manhwa/manhua. I do like anime too, but manga is more preferable in most cases.
>>31679453same about growing up broke but also i got into saving money as like a hobby. i used to read a lot of manga for like four years. i bought elden ring and did not play it but then got interested after listening to the lore online. regardless you should try like events or whatever with maybe half that $1000. I assume you save the rest. Maybe go to anime cons or something in your area.
>>31679260Serious question: How fat are you?This will determine the answer.
>>31679469There's only 2-3 cons a year here, I just dunno how to approach people and befriend them anymore. In my 30s, I feel like a creep if I approach people I don't know.
>>31679478I am about 15 pounds overweight BMI wise. Which for a mid 30s American male, is probably thinner than average here. I am trying to fall down to average, soda is a weakness.Do people really avoid befriending fat people? I get not dating fat people, but not befriending them?
>>31679495Depends on how fat. Most morbidly obese people are lonely for a reason.But it's less about being fat and more about being ugly or just not pleasant to look at.
>>31679495>Do people really avoid befriending fat people? I get not dating fat people, but not befriending them?yes. people absolutely do not regard superfats as human. racism and sexism are 90% hype but everything about fathaters is true
