omg THAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THE ECONOMY lol. But the bacon cannot be apart of factory farm pigs! Natural farm grown pigs that are not owned by corporations.

Happy pigs make happy bacon. Happy bacon days! We shall share this idea with the world. We are geniuses. Do you think we can solve the energy crisis with bacon as well?

Guys, you have to stop saying that I'm right. I might like get an ego about it or something...

Oh, the speed dating.
I went to it the first year it was implemented I believe and it was a sausage fest (as expected).
But that's not to say it won't be awesome this year! :3 Anime/manga/video games/just nerding out is becoming quite big among the ladies these days, so maybe we'll see a more balanced ratio? In any case, it'll be a hoot!

Buttt as much as I hate to admit it, Elf is right. You can't just expect these things to fall in your lap. Get out there, get active on the forums (Why, I dated someone for over 3 years I met on the forums here! Don't ask anything beyond that. >:|) and just chill out.

If it happens, it happens. <3

You didnt type that with a straight face right? Lol ratio being even? Lol

Oh Xeno. :3

I dont know because I mean there ARE more nerd/geek girls these days but guys still have the upper hand in numbers and if I'm allowed to say as a woman...most of us are at ACEN enjoying ourselves. Most likely people aren't thinking "oh, it's ACEN I wanna meet a boyfriend!" If anything, it's more fun when it's unexpected . But honestly the first thing I think when I go to ACEN is not meeting a guy to date.

@Mag: yeah, I feel so. With all the fat that is in bacon fat is 9cal per gram!!! We will generate energy with bacon :3.

I'm going to ACen for cheap swag, kick butt panels, seeing old friends and gawking at wicked awesome cosplay.

The last thing I want to do at acen is meet/date a guy.

Doesn't mean can't look tho. ;3

[FlyingElf]

I'm going to ACen to drink and hang out with awesome people. And if I drink enough, I don't remember the weekend, which means that every ACen is my first ACen...Its the best...

Gotta love that logic xD

[XenoBlade]

Well I never said that you can't look for that, or its weird or lame...but I SEVERELY doubt itll be an even ratio. Even tho there are more geek girls (honestly at acen, ive seen a lot even from my first year lol) I think most girls think it will be a sausage fest, and have a lot of creepers. That won't ever change. Lol speed dating is a good way to meet friends if you are shy. I never went to any speed dating myself, just heard the stories. If they don't find a way to get more girls in, itll flop again. Lol

Never went either. Figure I can meet enough people at all the meetups and the Red bar.

We should go. Hard core. If it fails we'll just have our own gathering of awesomeness. :3

Yeah I'm with Isamu. I like meeting people at photoshoots, panels, walking around and stuff. Can't do the bar yet I'm too young still lol but maybe one day I guess? Couldn't you sat the official ACEN Meet n Greet and the Late Night Meet n Greet would be the best way to meet singles? Because I feel more girls would go and it wouldn't be a forced "I'm single, consider me" thing.

Anyone wanting to meet new people should definitely hit the forums meet n greet and the late night meet n greet. I attended both last year and had a blast. Both are well run and I saw no creepers at either one.

There ya go. I'm glad you already met two people. Also yeah, I think I have enough good friends to hang with and events going on where I'm likely skipping the speed dating. Those that do go, good luck and try to take it serious. If not, make a funny video out of it and post it to Youtube! ;D

For All of You: Feel free to say hi to me if you see me. I'll be roaming around the con all-weekend in three of these cosplays listed in my signature and will have my board name as my badge name. I'm always up for meeting new people.

[HiroEcks]

Well I just so happen to love laughing as well as long walks in the moonlight or reading poetry by a fire. I hope my responses will allow me to apprehend a suitable mate.

[Wingy Baby]

As long as someone gets me popcorn as the drama unfolds, it'll be a good night. <3

[MsLovelyCookie]

So... will this happen for real? What about drinks?

[YoungBirdcall]

Should I bring my harp?

Love is In the Air

^ That's all I have to say.


Until my next post of course.

The forum meet and greet, and late night meetup are both legit.

[FlyingElf]

Okay guys, like seriously. Your point has been made. You think the singles gathering is a joke. At this point its not funny anymore, its just rude to the original poster and anyone who was actually interested in this. Piling on is pretty unnecessary overall...

I wasn't making fun =(

[STVO]

I think most of us were just joking around with the random jokes. Just like the talks of salt, sugar, bacon, etc. Originally I was game for this being that I thought it was before ACen. I also suggested the speed dating panel, people joked about that but I didn't get mad. Anyway if the OP is irritated, well I apppologize for getting off topic. She actually just stated she met two people on the forums for a meet up so things are looking up. Anyway, good luck if this comes together and if I'm free at the time, maybe I'll swing by.

[FlyingElf]

I wasn't talking about you Kirby

I have no idea if the OP is irriated, but a joke is only funny for so long and you guys sounds like real a-holes to anyone who did actually care/want this event to happen. Thats all I was really trying to say.

I'll just say this, didn't think I was being an a-hole, especially since I tried contributing earlier, I just figured a link to a song would be no harm. Anyone offended/irritated, I'm sorry.

I'm willing to meet anyone and everyone if possible. Heck, for half of the con you can find me in my office(the red bar).
As far as giving out my number goes, I have to meet you before that happens.
