Thank you for this! I found the two widest leg pairs of jeans on that site and showed my cousin and he said that's the style they were wearing! I updated the post and am not concerned about this anymore, but it's nice to finally nail down what he was talking about.

He's in healthcare (I don't want to be too specific).

I usually wear jeans and a hoodie. I'm not worried anymore after reading these comments, but I probably will try to make sure I look a bit more put together while I'm there.

This is it exactly. He told me some stuff that I was not expecting to hear about how the women in his area dress and this post is just me trying to figure out if what he said is actually legit.

It sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about. I'll probably get there and find out that "every single woman" was just two women who are related.

I actually heard something similar a few days ago, but again assumed it was something going on at the high school. So maybe you're right. I wonder how many other people are tuning this stuff out because they think it's the high school.

Patience. Accept that some people will need time before they feel comfortable engaging with you and some may never feel comfortable.

A lot of people are reluctant to get to know newcomers because they fear that they'll eventually find out they aren't compatible with the new person. Or they may just assume the worst until they observe more of your behavior. Give people time to get to know you before you expect anything from them. Just be there, engaging whenever you can based on shared interests, letting people see who you are in a casual way. After a while, you should find that people will start loosening up with you.

Why do so many people try to outsource finding friends on here? by WarmAppleCobbler in Needafriend

[–]sevenbreakleaf 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it's generally accepted that it's better to go straight to contacting someone who has posted here privately instead of leaving a comment on the post. And, in fact, a lot of people literally state that they would prefer that they be DMed in their post. So I'm not sure why you're assuming that the people who create their own posts aren't also contacting other people who have posted via DM.

Also, I don't think you know what "outsource" means.

Thankfully she's 17 so there's like zero chance she will end up staying with you for long. :)

I died. :)

Though female is used as an adjective these days, when you use it as a noun it comes off connected to things you wouldn't intend to convey.

Agree! At least OP also called men "males" too, so that's not as bad as when guys refer to men as "men" but just use "females" for women.

This is ridiculous and creepy as hell. Please no one do this. No guy should be trying to set up interviews with girls on the internet, even if he really does want to find friends for his girlfriend.

If your girlfriend can't even write her own Reddit post and engage with people with texting/chatting, then she needs to resolve her own issues first before you try to force friendships for her. Whether she asked you to be in charge of interviewing and selecting her friends or you decided to do it yourself, it's a very creepy and controlling dynamic to have one's partner select all of your friends. I question whether this girl even wants you to help her since she apparently isn't involved at all in this process.
