They never even listened to my side of it. Fuck you for saying that shit, Colin.
Gabriel Allen
Nope. He was a chubby hispanic kid. It's extremely unlikely, but there's a small chance he's alive. Although I would assume my online friend is dead or forgot about me if we didnt talk for 8 years.
>never listened to your side of it No offense but it's good they cut ties then. Fuck them for not listening to your side of the story.
Sebastian Morris
Why'd you have to swear all the time in Halo 3, holden3? I couldn't swear anything myself because my parents were home, you british fuck.

No matter what disgusting shit trannies do to their genitalia, they are still genetically male or female. In this case, she's still a woman.

Was born a female. Still was when I knew her. Didnt mutilate her body yet and I dont think she has still.
Yeah exactly.

Gavin Rodriguez
You must be at least 20 if you were playing Halo 3. How are you prepubescent?
Leo Foster
God damn it, I meant 3 musketeers.
My mom used to be like that. Thought everyone online was a pedophile.
Hudson Diaz
Everyone.
I have no idea how to interact with people online so over time i dropped out of contact with all the friends from when i was an underage and never replaced them as years went on.
I act like a complete douchebag in multiplayer games (even though i'm nice enough in 1 on 1 conversation) and cant think of anything to say in chat rooms which cuts off hope for any incoming friendship, meanwhile I'm sure I'm slowly alienating the single digit amount of online friends I do have due to my overwhelming negativity (too much complaining and making fun of others)
I was fine when I was an underage. Wish I could go back to how I was then.
Zachary Jenkins
I hit puberty and sounded like I was 30, I may be balding at 20 but I'm going to have a glorious beard. My friends mom thought I was a pedophile too but I was only 14. Still talk to him at least once a week though.
Have this picture of me.
Christopher Cruz
i didnt really want to make friends online in games. i just wanted to find good people to win with a lot. is that bad? lol
Jackson Perry
I was friends with a crazy fuck on XBL named ALIENSHIFT2012. We met on Crysis 2, played through Gears 3 on hardest difficulty, horde mode, etc. Dude was nuts. Thought all sorts of conspiracies were real. Felt bad for his kid.
Liam Smith
Buy me games and I'll be your friend, user.
Grayson Evans
I haven't seen my irl friends in 3 months going on 4 and I really only miss D&D Fridays til 6 am. I wish I could play online but phone posting sucks because my pc is dead and occasionally there are some good conversations on here.

What do you mean? I'm not gonna expect a man to put his online friend over his family lol, if he comes back its all good, but if not then at least good times were had.

My best friend is trans, and he started really early. He's been on hormones for like 4 years now, and 90% of people wouldn't be any wiser.
Sometimes the therapy just works.

Jacob Evans
dare I ask what a femboy is and how it's distinct from a trans?
Sebastian Morales
trans is people who actually think they're the wrong gender and tend to take corrective measures
femboy is more of a purely sexual thing, guys with feminine bodies running with it, dressing and acting feminine. in reality they're always extremely needy and strive to be the center of attention, possibly even worse than trannies. all the negative behavioral traits of women with none of the positives. most of them only THINK they look feminine too, when in reality they're just thin and bony and generally disgusting to look at in spite of how often they try to get you to look at their camwhoring (again for the attention it brings, from the more desperate of anons)

>people complaining about people they "lost" to real life
Why aren't you freeing yourselves from your own vidya addiction? Let's face it, we all waste too much time on video games, Cred Forums and internet shit in general. It's not just a "nerd" problem anymore, because normies do the same on facebook and reddit.
Why can't we be the ones that others lose to real life?
