Women who cosplay: Sexy nerd girls or lost souls in search of an identity?

by **tGreenWay** 2021-04-13, 16:31

I’m not talking about theme night in the bedroom or the occasional dress up for whatever occasion, be it Halloween or Comic Con. But what about about those who spend big money and time on costumes, travel, tickets, and lodging, just to be seen as someone other than themselves? It seems a little sad to me, though I freely admit some of those costumes turn out dead sexy.

And yes, the same questions can be asked of men, but AFAIK, everyone here, except Dendro, have a preferred interest in women, and Dendro is on record as being a willing participant with certain women in certain situations. But if you want to include everyone, that’s fine by me.

Are you talking about the models who go to the shows and make lots of $$ looking hot in front of gamers?

No, those getting paid are excluded from consideration, as are actors and those who dress like Lady Liberty and stand in front of accounting businesses at tax time.

That’s generally where I am and will remain, but I came across someone who posted nothing but cosplay pics and it seemed a little needy and sad. I kind of felt bad for her. It’s possible I misread the entirety of her profile. She might get great joy in what she’s doing, which would be cool.

Same, but it doesn’t hurt when there’s a synergy of the two.

I would have bet good money that this was a Bill Cain thread when I read the subject.

Also, Tanner dressing up in his femskin counts as sad. Sexy, but sad.

Agree and disagree. I don’t “Like” any of these posts, but I can get travel and gardening ideas from IG, and breaking news and interesting stories to read from Twitter. Like the internet itself, social media is what you make of it. As we’ve learned here, it can also rule your life and skew your overall view of the world.

I’ll own that. I should probably learn how to post pics. In my defense, I was counting on Pantry to post a shit ton of inappropriate pics.

Then you should have started a cooking or family band thread.

Right. Because his photo-sharing is only limited to those two types of threads.

Sexy, confusing... both?

I’d be wary of cosplay women.

I might go home with a suicide girl and wake up with an axe murderer

So as one of the oldest guys on the board, I’m very happy to announce I had no idea what the hell that word meant.

To each their own. I mean is that where you put bunnie suits on have sex? Or can it be just dressing up and pretending you’re in another role without the sex?

Either way, I’m good.

You’re thinking of furries.

Cosplay is attempting to mimic the outfit of a character from TV, movie, comic, vidya game, etc.

No. You old fuckers just smoked weed and drank cheap beer.

Yes. Once a year. It was called a Halloween Party.
