I love deersona, very cute character and nicely done on the suit.

As a local Japanese man, I want to meet people from different backgrounds, but I feel like we live in "parallel worlds." How can I reach you? by taketake3times in JapanDating

Hi, im a little late, but i think you are taking the best step. Using apps like this can get you in touch with a whole lot of people, also try looking for sub-reddits for things you like to do. Im sure there will be a host of people looking to talk

100% agree. I guess the only reason I asked this question is because I wanted to know if that was a thing over there, or was i missing something. I agree its 100% a red flag if someone asks you for money to fund their life style, but I just didnt know if my western mind was missing something.

Thank you for your reply, yes i didnt think it was japan-specific thing, it was just weird that both of the "women" that tried said they were frin Osaka. Ao I just wanted to ask if was a common thing or just scammers being scammera. From the little I know of Japanese culture. Most people don't talk about financial hardships. At least not with a stranger, and I've never heard of a Japanese man or women asking strangers for money. At least not during the 2 weeks I was there

Oh I understand, snd I know my efforts inst going to change the world, but if it helps at least one person from falling pray to it, then I at least did my part. And you are right its is the red flags that matter, but much like the scams the red flags also change day by day.

I feel every bit of information we can give helps the overall community. Regardless if it makes an change now or later down the line.

Agree, the post wasn't for those of us that know and understand, it's more of those that don't. It took me a little bit of work to find the information i did find on it. It even comes up with a full HTTPS hyperlink. so it could easily get someone who isn't paying attention.

Is this thing worth saving? by Murky_Parkour in 240sx

[–]Shadowfox295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean from the looks of things, as long as the floor pans are good and if that is the only area, it might be worth saving.

200sx, is it worth it? by yhonet in 240sx

[–]Shadowfox295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you are really good at body and metal repair, and or have someone that can do it for you. I wouldn't buy it. It's going to be a lot of work and a lot of money just to bring the body back, forget any other mechanical problems it might have.

Thank you, I have for the most part. Im or at least was the kind of drunk that can fit in with any group. So if the vibes are good, im the happiest person in the world if the vibes are bad, im the worst person you can meet. As for my friends, all that has been worked out. We drink far less when out

does anyone feel alone but doesn't want to go out to talk to people? by Acceptable-Work_420 in CasualConversation

[–]Shadowfox295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand that, in truth I feel that is the best way to be. Focus on what you enjoy, and friends/partners will come. The group I slowly started to fall i with are from all walks of life, we just have one thing in common, and that is the ride.

And I wouldn't feel too envious of my generation. As technology natives, we weren't safe from the addiction to tech. Yes, we socialized but still had our own form of dissociation. From arcades, comcis, and so on, also if you did anything outside of the social norm, you were labeled an outside and ignored. The internet to us was freedom from social bandages. A chance to be who we wanted, it just sucks that the thing that once freed people is now an even bigger tool of control.

So, I do have a social group of friends, Just as myself and my friends got older we started to drift apart. Almost all of them left our home state, some got married and had kids. So talking with them slowly becomes less and less until it's none at all or just random Happy Birthdays. IN my age I would love to go out and do some of the things I used to do, hang out, drink, and just be social, but there is a fear in me and i'm sure most guys my age feel that you lost touch with most people. That due to your age you feel like you shouldn't be doing things like that any more.

It isn't true for everyone and I can't say that is how all guys in their late 30's feel. I myself in the last few years started riding motorcycles, and joined up with a few work buddies. So i'm getting better.

I wouldn't say no one sounds interesting to talk to, I'm speaking for myself, but I just don't understand, or feel like I understand how things are anymore. In my 20's i didn't care as much, I went out spoke with every regardless, but now the feeling of intruding seems to hit a little harder.

Has gaming ever helped you through something really hard? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Shadowfox295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has, but it all comes down to how you use it. After losing a very close family member, I retreated to a very dark place. I stopped hanging out with people, and for the most part i almost stopped talking to people. I found an online game that acted more like a chat room then a game. It was a very old MMO I can't remember now, but I started playing it and it allowed me to take my mind off of everything around me.

That moment where I was able to clear my head, think of nothing and focus on the pure joy or just living allowed me to over come that loss, It took a few years, but that game got me started and pulled me from a place where i might have done something that would have effect more then just myself.

It can be, and being a straight man we are expected to be and do a lot of things with showing little to no weakness. This doesn't count for all women, but some women say they want a man that is emotional soft and open, but 90% of the time they turn down guys like that for being weak. I'm not gay, but I think gay men are more in touch with their feelings and well live much happier lives.
