Single, looking, help and advice.
5 years ago
Journal below, thank you for taking the time to read.
36, M, weird. Trying my best to find a woman to have genetic kids with, who I could get to know, form a friendship and start that family dream. Been trying, looking. Any advice, possible sites to help? Appreciate. Thanks for reading.
Furrymate is 99% spam
Ferzu is joke. Just dont bother.
Match.com is pretty nice. Unfortunately being a furry is a bit of a deal breaker on there.
Plenty of fish is a solid maybe. I always got spam on it. A good way to know if its spam is check the age, location and joined date.
You could always try the Carl method and look gals up from your high school year book.
There's your usual dating sites, but "hot as lava and at least did a year jail time" gets the crazy good looking ladies and anywhere "below" that it's basically "picking scraps". BUT a few friends actually found long term relationships there, if you're willing to sift through all the spam, gold diggers and crazy people.
Otherwise: get out there, social gatherings with friends are always a solid way to get out there. Expand your social network. Weave a web sort to say. Yes the Global Sniffles will make that difficult, but relations are still happening that way. And above all: DON'T be needy. It'll both decimate your network and put ladies off.
Sorry that this is all I can offer here. It's such a broad topic... xD
Either way, best of luck, bud!
One general tip however: Be sure to have your own life in order before letting someone else in.
*the above is my personal experience and opinion
1. DO something you enjoy
2. Directly interact with others doing the same thing.
THis creates a defacto common interest where you can talk to people naturally without coming across as forced. It's a non-hostile meeting ground, and assuming you've picked something you really do enjoy, people tend to find you more attractive when you're having fun.
Now someone who's also okay with furry stuff is probably more difficult, but doing something you enjoy first and foremost with others helps.
The thing is to be there but not be intrusive; it's tricky but it can be done.
Also I think you said something about not finding a woman your own age or older; depending on your age; 30s-40s you'll find that that very few females are not into 'nerdy' stuff and you might want to look for someone younger who has grown up in the video game/card game generation; although if you are in your 20s that would be kind of hard.
So just go out,ask nicely,and see where it goes. It's really the only thing that works.
I'd suggest trying out fetlife... Granted been years since I've paid attention to there, but finding someone already in the basic kink scene may be easier than fully eye opening a random soul. It's not really a hook up site I think but you may catch the budding curious honesty and find someone who's quietly looking for your brand of weird because they also don't know how to fully properly express it. I've more or less accepted that whoever I meet won't know furry much before me. Accepting is great, joining would be a dream.. Gotta find a sitter for the con weekends though at that point ;p
