    That’s… painfully accurate. 😂 Group chats: We need a vetting committee. Boys: He seems chill—welcome aboard.

      It’s neat how one little weird thing turns people from strangers to friends.

      Like you can be walking down the street and pass someone and neither of you even nod, but if you each notice an old lady doing naked cartwheels, 80% chance you’re having coffee together soon.

        I’ve found that crisis does it, too. I him (cat friend, we’ll call him lol) while in a city a few hours from home, because my mom was helicoptered there for emergency surgery, and was in ICU for over a month. It was a horrible, terrible time, and the state I was in when I met cat friend definitely contributed to the friendship. He didn’t know me from Adam, but he was there for me when I needed someone

    Lol, All this proves to me is another of the many reasons women live longer. Before you get your knickers in a knot, laugh, then go back to climbing on the bins to reach the roof. We’ll chat later.

      Same! I think the Seattle Freeze is mostly dead because of all the transplants. (I have a “Seattle” tag for any lemmy user that talks about Seattle, and your name is obvious).

      I met my neighbor a few weeks ago because there was some crazy doing donuts in the grass of a park with tons of cops around. We got a beer later that week even though we have nothing in common, but were able to just hang and chat about whatever.

    I gotta say this isn’t my experience at all. It’s any gender being any kind of welcoming to new people. That includes me in all positions (being the “haven’t known him for long enough” and “we found him along the way”, and also being the one who does both of those things). If anything my experience has been that women have been more welcoming to new people, of course within reason and depending on the situation. But it’s not at all heavily towards one side or the other, people are people and situational logic plays a larger part than anything else.

      Idk dude this one time I met a girl and she told me she likes skydiving, I never met anyone that was into skydiving before, so I’m pretty sure girls really like skydiving

    Oh I see lemmy is not better than reddit with this boomer-style humour. Tell us one about how women and Asians drive next.

    One time ~15 years ago a guy showed up to a party as his gf’s +1. She and my girlfriend got into a fight and he and I just wandered off and played some games.

    We’re still friends and they’re long gone. This is how guys meet lol

    I was the random guy at a new year’s party a few years ago. Was hanging with a friend and some of her friends I hadn’t met before when she needed to bounce, then I just ended up going to a random party.

    I got like 3 New years kisses, so I won’t complain.

      Hah, I’ve been there. Someone needed to borrow a lighter and just invited me to hang out with his friends. Felt weird at first but everyone was really cool

    I had a friend who would do this every time I’d go out. I remember him finding a guy who had a pet goat it was pretty sick.
