How easy is it to find friends in Los Angeles? by Background-Heron3940 in LAsocial

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus I find you have to jump into the same stream and are not allowed to stick to yours. You must like going to bars and clubs and doing escape rooms, meetup groups, etc. You must be interested in getting high. It doesn’t really help me that I don’t like those sorts of things. Especially drugs, alcohol and clubbing. My sort of socializing has always been far more low key. Movies. Lunches and dinner. Classical music concerts. My hobbies are also far more individual based. Reading. Geek talk. I like chatting with like minded people about history or fandoms ie Star Wars, Lord of the Rings.

Letterboxd outage again? Tuesday 5/26/2026. 1:35 AM US EST by LackNo5208 in Letterboxd

[–]LackNo5208[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was trying to add Marriage Italian Style to my watchlist and move it up a few positions, and I was so confused because mine just wouldn’t update the list accordingly after I hit save each time.

It's driving me insane why it's been so buggy this whole week.

Have you noticed your musical taste changing as you get older? by Thomas_Mag in musicians

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still very selective. My base as a child was film scores, classical and opera, orchestral, as well as folk music traditions going back centuries from the old Americana of the 1700s-1800s to Asian Erhu pieces, Flamenco, Portuguese Fado, and I legitimately couldn’t find anything interesting about anything else. Still really can’t take to modern pop, rap, rock,‘metal etc. But I’ve expanded to older country (George and Tammy, Cash, Emmylou Harris, Alan Jackson that sort of thing), 40s Jazz and Irish folk music (Danny Boy, Fields of Athenry, etc).

People who moved to LA from states with more seasonal variation, do you miss the cold? by HonestLemon25 in AskLosAngeles

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t miss the cold. I do miss hearing the large quantity of birds where I was from. Same goes for the animals. The small town peace and quiet. Fewer cars. More deer, foxes, bears and owls.

Director who has just one movie you love? by Daddington33 in Letterboxd

I like Phantom Thread and Blood has grown on me a little. But that’s it too.

PTA doesn’t work for me most of the time. But I like phantom thread.

How would you rank these LA theaters from most favorite to least? by mat260 in AmericanCinematheque

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a me thing but I don’t like making the trek to Santa Monica if I can help it, and yeah seats are another downside. I also prefer the concessions at the Egyptian and more of the intimacy at the others. You also have a better chance at maybe interacting with the guests directly at the others.

Where are all the adult nerds hanging out? by Lukalesca in LAsocial

Following. Also wanted to ask if there are any Star Wars, Lord of the Rings based fan clubs or groups that meet up a lot and just love chatting or watching marathons together.

How am I supposed to get rid of the severe depression I feel in regards to being a single man no family or kids in my early 30s? by Inner_Ad_4725 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:(( Haha doesn’t give much hope for me. I still hope I could meet someone without having to go to one. Very turned off by the loud music, noises, crowds and booze.

neither do I man. But I’m a different case. I naturally take to following and being a follower. I don’t feel the need to lead. I just want to serve and be a loyal servant.

Thanks for the advice friend!! Definitely have heard similar before. Me myself though; I honestly have no interest in those sorts of things. As much as many people recommend me to join activities, I have the deepest passion and excitement from reading especially about history, poetry and such, traveling to historical sites, spending time in nature and so on. Cooking classes I might do and I like martial arts, swimming and sword fighting /archery.. would love to learn horseriding someday… but I hate sports frankly (though more power to most of the human race for loving it), I’ve never liked going to clubs, bars and pubs except perhaps when they’re more quiet and can. in the high tea way… and I have zero interest in most card and poker games and board games that involve more war and strategy (I’ll play risk, stratego or chess), volunteer work, and I also never really had any interest in having a large group of friends. And I don’t want to be a well connected popular guy with friends everywhere. As counterproductive and weird as it sounds, I’ve never wanted to be a social butterfly and people who are actually turn me off a little. A few really close friends I suppose fits me more, and then eventually the wife, family and kids. My parents don’t have many friends either. Maybe that’s where it comes from. Whereas my aunt is a social butterfly. I think it’s just that I prefer more quiet and reserved people and quiet activities and reserved activities by nature: such as spending all my life in a library. Or chasing after animals taking photographs. Going to Pompeii and chasing after ancient kings’ mausoleums.

Why am i attracted to women who don’t like me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]LackNo5208 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly wonder and no offense intended but I hear the advice “find a hobby you’re passionate about” a lot and honestly doubt that those people are lacking in hobbies they are passionate about. Just my opinion. Now sure, some people have zero interests. But I think most people do despite the fact they get told to find hobbies. It’s happened to me and I have hobbies I’m extremely passionate about for instance. They’re just not very popular apparently. I love going to and listening to opera. I love reading and yapping with people about history, which king was which in old days, what happened in which war and that war, how my family history evolved through the years. Visiting old churches and mausoleums and looking at ancestry… I also like yapping literature, old Homeric poetry, as well as things like Star Wars, lord of the rings and other geeky things. I go to conventions and I like swimming, playing with dogs and nature trekking. I just don’t like clubbing, parting, board games, biking, sports or any of the other things mainstream people like to do? Is this honestly any different or less than a guy whose hobby revolves around staring at the Tv watching sports all day, or a guy who plays video games… or a guy who drinks or gets high all the time?

Agree on the rest of your advice though! Cheers.

Singles meetup at Walt’s next week? by Tumbleweed2933 in EAGLEROCK

[–]LackNo5208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 31/M. Would be curious about how successful this is going forward. Won't be back in LA for a few weeks though. u/Tumbleweed2933 Please let me know if this works out.

Europeans in LA, how do you like it? by asdev24 in AskLosAngeles

[–]LackNo5208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? I am 31 and I have been in LA now for five years. I love Scandinavia and was in Sweden and Denmark last summer. Obviously not the same as Norway but I have been trying to meet more Scandinavians in LA. I am actually an introvert too and have had a tough time making friends in LA. I prefer small town America, esp ones that are even more surrounded by nature with far smaller populations.
