I figured it'd be easier in the workforce than in college. College you get a new teacher and new set of classmates every semester. Workforce you're at least in the same place every day for the entire year like in middle school and high school. That's what's tripping me up. I'm not in the same environment with the same people all the time.

The thing about workforce is depending on your luck. Sometimes you'd go into a job and meet a set of cool people. Sometimes...well, you just don't have anything in common with anyone and that's when things become miserable. And even if you do have in common with some people, you may not be as close to them as you'd like to.

But it's interesting how you point out that one of the pre-requisite for friendship to form is for two people to be in the same environment all the time. And I admit this is true for most of us, throughout our whole life. We just tend to friend people that we meet under similar environment that we're in. But sometimes I wish, friendship works quite differently.

I was playing a match of Modern Warfare 2 with like 8 other guys when all of a sudden a girl jumped into the lobby. The conversations that were held within that lobby.. after that moment.. were some of the most pathetic things I have ever heard in my life. But oh lord was it funny to listen to.

 

[Why would you do that?]

It's way harder to make friends in college.

This is true, mostly if you live off campus.

When I was on an on-campus college, my dorm mates and I became really good friends, despite the fact that most everyone there was somewhat anti-social. It was much easier to make friends there in general, because we did on-campus activities a lot.

I've been in this shitty community college for 2 semesters and I've made like 30+ friends, and 10 of them I consider close. All you have to do is be friendly and go talk to people, start talking about class, homework and shit. Slowly, you'll get to know the person better and start hanging out with them. In turn you'll make friends with their friends and it goes on but becomes slower. Its not that hard.

And I don't know why you have to have a gamer friend, I hardly talk about games with people of the outside world. I'm not ashamed or anything, but its not like movies or music or sports which most people are into.

Well at least you guys don't go to my university. All the people that I was friends with already got kicked out. :/

Did she send pictures of her breasts, by chance, mate? How did you respond?

Talk to people??? what is this weird thing you are talking about? How do you do this? In my world, we tweet our feelings and write out carefully worded stuff on the facebooks!!

Whats that suppose to mean?

Well apparently there are people who think only losers go to CC's. I myself transferred math and science classes from a CC and some people scoffed at it, as if I didn't get a "real" education.

I have to agree, especially in larger colleges with massive classes. You at a pretty big disadvantage if your commuting as well since your only chance to really meet people is in class, where most everyone just wants to get the heck out of there.

I think I need to join a club or something. Anyone one here go to UC Riverside? :lol

Also, I thought GAF was boys club only. No cooties up in here.

 

[Hitokage]

I just remembered, I saw some lolface at the start at the semester, which was badly drawn on a dusty wall on the fifth floor of one of the class buildings.

On the side it said, "For the lulz." I wasn't sure if this was done by some gaffer or someone else, but the photo was on my iPhone for months (took it in January) until now. So, I guess there are some at my university, or former university since I'm graduating.

Shit isn't even a GAF meme, yet you expect somebody from GAF to have done it?

 

[Zeppu]

Wasn't this thread about girls on GAF some time ago? It's everything but that at the moment.

I like using italics for emphasis.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I think I only know of two girls on NeoGAF. Still hunting!

 

[trollcity]

i'm a girl

 

[RpgN]

Unfortunetaly I don't know of any girls near where I live that are truly into video games. I go online to talk to other people and play some games of course. And somehow throughout the years I've met 3 girls, one where I still actively talk to. Very kind, down to earth and really knows her stuff with games. She's also quite a bit older than me which makes it better for having a decent conversation.

In person/college I have some girl friends but they're far and few, all of them are not into games either. I seem to hang along better with guys and so most of them are. With most girls, they tend to be so bitchy. Guys hardly are and I like the trust part. It's no surprise that online most friends are guys on my friends list, I wouldn't mind some more girl friends to talk to though. And I'm not the tomboy type that hangs with guys only or something, it just seems that guys are more appealing to be with. They tend to be willing to teach you things as well, like how to be better at a game which is nice!

Yep, especially if you commute and work. I did make a few friends, so it wasn't so bad. Don't want to stay on campus unless I gotta study for something. I've got things to do.

yeah, and would a guy have these:

....For the time being as I'm going to a university this August/September. I'm basically there to waste time and get credits.

Its not like I care what you think anyway, you're going to die a friendless virgin.

There is nothing wrong with a community college. I am in one myself. For work I intern and i know things that some people that have been there for 20 years don't know how to do. My major is graphic design.

 

[Gattsu25]

They only have impact if you give it impact. You can call me whatever, won't affect me.

So never give a word power.

Sounds fair. Certain words will still instantly lower my opinion of a person, though.

I think it's wrong to judge someone over perceived intent, rather than what the person actually meant. But hey I guess that's just me.

 

[Scrow]

i think this thread has only proven that guys act like girls, when girls are present in a thread ;P

Totally.

I agree, calling a person a certain racial or sexual remark is stupid. What I'm saying is don't let those fucks affect you negatively.

There isn't, I've grown to respect a lot of people here over the past few months. I was just saying that I was leaving for a university though.

It's the complete opposite with me. I prefer female friends because most (well, some) guys always have hidden agendas. :\ I've had most male friends hit on me at one point or another, lost one of my closest and dearest friends because he developed feelings for me which I couldn't reciprocate. My bf and him got weird with each other after he told me that, my bf thought he betrayed him because they were really good friends too. Even my bf and I were good friends before we got into a relationship. With girls you don't have to worry about all that drama. Plus, maybe I've just been extra lucky that most of my female friends are like living dolls, so sweet and nice and the best people I've ever met! I haven't encountered any of the stereotypical bitches in real life... Yet. I'm also a very good judge of character, so I can usually tell if the person is worth being friends with.

You're so lucky to have genuinely nice girl friends!

I have a hard time making friends/trusting people to have a closer relationship because:
guy: "She's into [insert guy-hobby here]! THAT'S HOT!"
gal: "She's into [insert guy-hobby here]... She's totally doing that for the attention..."

True story D:

my comment wasn't actually to you it was to the person that was kind of downgrading your college cause it was a community college. Yeah I plan to transfer to a university soon.
