I worry about this a lot, actually. Well, not "a lot," but to the extent that I recognize how uncomfortable having the whole "oh hey I saw you on the internets" conversation would be.

Also: I wonder what many SFers' profile photos look like—do they post their best WAYW fit? is it a photo of an ugly dress shoe? Moo's wife's breasts? SVB?!

I hate that FB now constitutes real life.

 

you dudes are all awkward as fuck

it is only as bad as you make the situation out to be.

spend more time outside. meeting through the internet is only half of it it even.
should be talking about other shit unless you're with a bigger group of enthusiasts/convention with people who really understand re: styleforum anniversary this may?

meeting sf/sufu people in real life in the jam. meet desi and some sufu dude a few weeks ago and they were cool as hell.

why does jesse thorn have the eyebrows of a transvestite dressed as vincent price? he doesn't normally look like this. i also like put this on.

also the camera work on this episode is TERRIBLE.

I want the white missoni x converses, but they're for women only?

First Schneider piece coming. Will wear with dad jeans.

$200 for a pair of converse? at least the converse addicts lasted 8 months but this one seems regular chuck with just different fabrics..

Do you really think so? Like, I'm not trying to suggest that it's awkward to actually meet people who are "from the internet"; but I know that I would feel a bit odd knowing that whoever it is that I'm meeting already has some preconceived notion of who I am, which is constructed strictly through my image and my writing on a forum about men's clothes.

Hell, that's an extremely particular, or narrow, context for a first impression. That is what's "awkward," I think. Just imagine someone stopping you in the street, or someone sending you a message on Facebook, or a not-so-close friend pulling you aside at a party, mentioning your presence on SF—they know you first and foremost through a men's fashion website in which people discuss "baller sneakers (over $300)," use phrases like "kop that," reference "goth ninja-" inspired looks without a hint of irony, and do other random shit that, in "everyday conversation," just doesn't make sense.

There's nothing wrong or uncool or weird about any of this, it's just an extremely unusual background for first impressions—or other social contexts—is all. Does that still sound awkward? Like I bet people here are chill as fuck in real life, but it's just a very unorthodox way of meeting somebody.

you're weird and awkward but i understand what you're trying to imply.

well actually i am not sure what you're implying because you close by saying that some people specifically use forums to meet people. UH NO
yeah you're just awkward and weird.

sorry but is this toasty talking?
