Anybody here ever met a woman (or man) at a Comic Convention and “got lucky?” 6 6

[NoMan]

You know what I mean. True “love connection” stories here. I never have, so…. You?

[universal soldier]

 Dear ComicCon, I never thought this would happen to me...

 

No comic con connections or even LCS love but I did find a good woman who appreciates the hobby, is willing to go to cons with me and see all the Marvel movies so that's a win right there.

I once met Chuck Woolery at a con...does that count?

With the amount of conventions I've attended with @GACollectibles and @MR. Pontoon my answer should be obvious.

I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

If I remember correctly Dylan mentions it as being a perk of the "system".....

Was it, in fact, the Home of the Whopper?

And did you have it your way?

I connected with one at a con, but I didn't push it because I thought she was still married to a friend..  A few weeks later, I found out they were separated and divorce bound.  The moment had passed.

What happens in the GACollectibles booth stays in the GACollectibles booth.  And OnlyFans.  Or TikTok.

I'm more a slow-moving type and could never find a con connection in the time allotted.  Anyway it probably would have gone similar to the Brady sketch in SNL where he shows how easy it is to make a connection, then a schlub tries a similar tactic without success. (Me:  "Hi there!  Hey, do you collect that title?"  Her:  "Security!!").

Not during, as I’ve always been too stressed out by the experience and my charisma, sparkling wit and personality simply don’t shine through and impress under the circumstances.

I know of two board members who had their marriages destroyed by other board members, if that counts. Technically someone found love, while someone else was devastated.

I recall a conversation at a London convention when a lady attendee started talking to myself and another Brit boardie, and commented that she found many of the comics nerds there incapable of talking to women.  I said that my approach is just to be myself and if someone thinks I’m talking nonsense or complete BS during even a brief interaction then you probably won’t get along anyway, regardless of situation or intent, and that takes the edge off social anxiety and progression, Y chromosome or not. Long time since I had that problem, though she seemed to believe it was quite endemic, especially with the younger nerds. To be fair, I remember it well.

There's so much going on among this group that goes way deeper than the surface-level interactions I'm having with you all.
