How did you guys become friends with them? Especially since in this day and age it seems like most feedees just want your money lol?
Torchcacti:
I never found that too difficult. When you just enjoy talking about any number of things, it seems like friendship follows pretty naturally.
Munchies:
That's pretty much the long and the short of it. If you put yourself out there and treat people the way you want to be treated, it's not hard to find people you want to befriend. Might take some patience, but you can find your people.
Torchcacti:
I guess if there’s anything else to say, it’s that as cis-men we are working at a deficit because of bad behavior so sitting back and being patient, like Munchies said, is the best policy, even if it feels like interactions are few and far between for a while.
Honestly, patience is good no matter your gender. Shitty people exist across the spectrum. And no matter how kind, interesting, or charismatic you are, not everyone is going to jive with you.
I like to think I'm a delightful person. Sure, there are people who can't stand me, but most people like me or are neutral to my existence. While I've found friends and lovers on FF, it wasn't immediate. Took me a few months to find my people.
