Confession: I am both relieved and sad that you share the same nail biting problem as I do. It's like I don't even have cuticles sometimes. I hope the therapy helps with your anxiety, even if it doesn't help your nails.

Actually, being obnoxiously thickheaded seems to be a trait of most male protagonists...

You should not say such things, sempai. Let us go to the roof and have our boxed lunch. (And seriously, every VN I've read so far involves going to the roof of a buiding...)

it was a logical consequence of when i first started becoming socially arkward, resulting in me becoming socially arkward the more...

edit: sega saturn - dyoukusei

Wait...Swan Song was your first VN?  That must've been a real noob-friendly experience  xD
Pretty much what happened with me, except I was searching around for freeware games and found KS.  I'd already been watching anime and reading manga for years, so that wasn't the cause.  I'd actually seen it mentioned before in several places around the internet, but never checked it out before then.

"not ugly" is basically all that matters for guys.

Truly, the only ones you can't ever get rid of are the annoying ones.
You should leave a like, then. I feed on internet points.

Indeed, people have told me that I've got a good voice, especially for documentaries, and I love reading/acting. Even if I may not be good at it, at least I have an interest.

Can I call you Oji-san?

I'm older. Call me sempai!

Nobody said anything about tables, look at this sexy ass table <3

Funny thing - you can be anyone you want on the internet. I'm actually myself. Maybe it comes from being older, but I find the internet the easiest place to actually be myself. And with that...
Confession: your lack of likes to my reputation makes me think you all hate me. As all things Japanese entertainment has taught me, if you don’t instantly respond with liking me, it means you completely hate me. Why snepai?

Confession: Being an older nerd who had social problems makes me sad reading this. Because I want to help. I really do. I've been there, and it's not always easy. So, I'll try as best I can here.
CHALLENGE: I'm going to tell you some things about myself here. At the end, I'm going to give you my email address. Zodai already has it, but he had a good day. Seriously, just write me about something. Anything. Consider me an email Pen Pal. Frankly, I always wanted pen pals anyway. No pressure, and you don't have to give all your personal details or anything - I'm not here to stalk you. Just type.
My name's Robert, most people call me Bo. I'm 38 years old and I live in Florida, but I'm originally from a tourist trap part of New Jersey. Growing up I was into golf, tennis and band (symphonic and marching). I didn't date a lot in high school. Maybe because I tried too hard and approached it wrong. I wrote poetry all the time, though I'd be hard pressed to find any of it now. I didn't really keep track of it after college, where I also dated infrequently. It wasn't until after college that I got into comics. I took a liking to X-Men and particularly Gambit, and when Marvel cancelled his ongoing series I got really pissed and looked for alternatives. I ran into a start-up called CrossGen Comics, and started reading those, and I also signed up for their forums/chat room.
In another thread I mentioned you could be anyone online, I found it easier to be myself. I wasn't lying. I never tried to pretend to be anything. While on the CrossGen site, I easily talked with many people, including females. And I'm not lying when I say that it somehow managed to have at least four different women interested in me. At the time I was living at home in NJ, working part time as a sports correspondent, part time at an Atlantic City paper and then full time at an Egg Harbor Township one. I was looking for a better paying position, and I went on an interview for a new weekly paper in New Hampshire. On the way there I stopped at one of those girl's places in Connecticut, and almost ended up with her. I got the position, and upon hearing it, a woman in Florida actually flew to NH to meet me - ultimately because she was afraid I'd end up with the girl in Connecticut. So she came up, and it went very well. In VN terms it was certainly a turn down what seemed to be the good path - if it was a Steam game someone at Fuwa would be adding the sex patch. We had a long distance relationship for a year, at that time the paper decided to go in a different direction and replaced almost all of its staff, me included. So, it was either go back to NJ, or go to Florida.
I went to Florida. The only person in Florida I knew was my girlfriend. Scary, especially if it didn't work out than I'd be moving again. Fortunately, it worked out. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it. I've been married to her since December 2004 and we have two girls together. And I only won her over because I acted normal. I talked with her. Treated her with respect. Listened to her. Etc. I'm not an ugly guy. but I'm not particularly handsome, either.
Anyway, there's me for you. So here's my address: [email protected]. You don't have to write your personal narrative or anything like me - just write about something. Anything. The VN you're reading. Favorite sports team. The weather. Whatever. You'll likely never meet me in person, but I want you to at least feel like there's someone who'll listen to you. You can consider me your friend even. And why not? The closest person in my life started out as internet data on a screen.

Ahhh so you guys started as an internet thing and married when you were 27. Wow really inspiring story. Thanks for sharing. I'm still 24 and there are still many challenges ahead of me. Your story gives me hope and optimism in life. One thing I realized was I definitely have to step my game up when it comes to finance and general real life stuff. You made it happen. You flew to NH and Florida. I can relate to this.
I'm soon leaving NJ (by next week). I've lived a decade in Jersey City area; absolutely hate this place... but I'm hopeful I'll be in a better place.
I can attest that online interactions really help break the ice. It helps develop relationships that otherwise wouldn't happen in real life.
Long distance is definitely not viable for the long-term though... It's tough.

As for your reputation, these days some of it revolves around the stuff with Rains (Since something like that is so rare in terms of intra-forum connections) but aside from that you seem intelligent and somewhat cute in terms of how you come off.
 
Also, 2500 words today!  YESSSSSSSS!

I agree. It is quite a fantastic pyramid!
For what it's worth, I do think you bring up some interesting things to talk about. I definitely would not mind participating, but I'm a bit incompetent in these types of engagements. I'm the kind of person that gets interested in various topics, and yet most of the time I find myself at a loss as to how I can make a worthwhile contribution to discussion. Consequently, the majority of my posts are idle chatter, image/video spamming, and sharing my opinion on whatever I'm reading, playing, or watching. Sometimes I'll get into a debate with someone if I feel confident enough in what I'm arguing about, but that's it. Personally, I think you should keep on with what you're doing. The more chances you give to converse with you, the better you're likelihood for a chance encounter will be.

I'll let you guys in a secret: Most girls may easily be attracted to hunks and gorgeous guys but we always prioritize personality, so if youre being a fucking douchebag and dont care about our feelings, then it's over. We love it when our man pays attention and attend to our needs and is quite a gentleman. That means, opening the door for us, giving us a hankerchief/tissue if we are sad, holding the umbrella for us, and know how to crack appropriate jokes that we can both relate to. Yes I've seen a 300 lb fat guy do this and successfully marry someone who looks like a Victoria Secret model.

I know exactly how you feel :< I just can't start talking to people without a good reason for it.
Unfortunately when people "like" something here it's usually because it's really funny or silly, not because it's correct or useful. I guess "unfortunately" might be the wrong word because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so many likes.

Overlord. It's an anime. I definitely recommend watching it. It's like SAO, just better.
