New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

1. Gain interests/hobbies that can include other people. The more the better.
examples: playing/making music, sports (I like soccer), bicycling, fishing, multi-player video games
non-examples: studying science, browsing 4chan, single player video games

protip: this doesn't mean you can't have interests like the non-examples, but if that's all you have you must make room for the others as well

2. Get a bit of a feel for these new hobbies. Do them on your own for a while

protip: don't spend too long on this step. skip it entirely if you already have some interests

3. Think of people you know and text or call them asking to hang out. If you have no success, branch out to other people you don't know as well. Look through the numbers in your phone and the people you have on facebook. Keep reaching out until you find someone. Try both males and females.

protip: only reach out when you're ready to follow through and actually hang out with them. don't do it just because you want to be able to say you tried. be excited about the prospect of following through with it if successful in setting something up.

protip2: if they ask what it is you want to do specifically, tell them about the hobbies/interests you developed in steps 1-2 and suggest that you do them together.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find someone that agrees to hang out with you. If you really, really have exhausted all possible options, then get a job or volunteer somewhere in order to meet more people. Then apply the technique on them.

5. Now you have a planned social engagement with a person or party of people. There are 2 things you must accomplish in the engagement: obtaining a solid relationship with the person or people you are going to hang out with, and gaining access to new people.
>>
6. To obtain a good relationship with the person you are hanging out with, the social engagement must be fun and interesting, not boring. If the engagement has become boring, suggest the hobbies/interests you have developed in steps 1-2 and to do them together. If you've done this and the social engagement is still boring, you must make things interesting. This is accomplished by stopping giving a fuck about anything anyone thinks of you. When you don't give a fuck, you will say and do crazy things that will definitely make the night interesting, whether for good or bad.

-protip: use the not giving a fuck trick as a last resort, but be sure to REALLY do it if you're in the situation. If you don't take the gamble you've already lost because you can't continue to the next step until you've established a fun/interesting social engagement. Better for the night to end badly but memorable/interesting than for it to fizzle out and meet a boring end as that will guarantee no future social engagements with the person or party.


7. Once a fun/interesting social engagement has been reached, you must find out about the other people the person you're hanging out with also hangs out with. Remember you must first accomplish obtaining a solid relationship with the person by having a fun/interesting social engagement
before they will trust you with this information. Learn about their social life and the other people they hang out with. Ideally you won't even have to ask as the subject often will come up, but press for the information if necessary.
>>
8. If you accomplished a fun/interesting social engagement, repeat it a few times with the same party, continuing to gain more information about their social life and the other people they hang out with. When the time is right, suggest that you guys hang out with these other people as well sometime.
The time can be right even in the first social engagement if it's fun/interesting enough. It may sometimes happen naturally and you won't have to request it, but if you always just wait for it to happen naturally it will take a long time to build your network. Continue pushing for a social engagement that
involves these other people until it happens. If they seem uncomfortable with the idea, stop and refocus on obtaining a more solid relationship with the person first. Then continue pushing for an expanded social engagement.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 with as many people as you can get to hang out with you and learn as much as possible about the people they hang out with, and push for an expanded social engagement that includes their other friends the way described in step 8. You will soon have a planned expanded social engagement that will include new people you don't know. Now when this happens, repeat steps 5-8 again this time specifically aimed toward the new people you had not previously met.
>>
10. Repeat steps 5-9 again and again and your network now grows exponentially. Congratulations, you now have a social network. It will soon include girls that you can mate with.

overall protip1: looking your best will always help with success. Make an effort to change aspects of your appearance that are unattractive and try to reach your maximum attractiveness potential.

overall protip2: inevitably throughout this process you will sometimes meet people you don't like. When this happens you should not take their shit and stand your ground, but avoid hanging out with them in the future

overall protip3: don't be discouraged by failures. There is a huge luck element involved here. It's probably about half skill that can be developed over time and half pure luck. Chalk it up to luck if you fail because getting discouraged will decrease your ability to be fun/interesting a lot

good luck.

But I don't care about that shit.

I think this shit is pretty much spot on.

are you sure?

>3. Think of people you know

fuck you

I can't drive so my mom would have to bring me everywhere. Come at me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I still don't care.

I don't want to offend the all mighty neckbeards by being a normalfag but honestly I have never had a shortage of people who wanted to be friends. Maybe not die hard stick with you through hell kind but still.

I think it comes down to caring about their shit. Everyone has some kind of shit going on that weighs heavy on them. Genuinely listen and help them with their pain and most people will want to help you too.

>numbers in your phone and the people you have on facebook
fuuuuck yoooooou
>volunteer
what the fuck does that mean? like at a soup kitchen? fuck that
>>
>>2565771
you can volunteer lots of places. try google.
>>
will give this a bump
>>
>implying i want friends

If you decide to get into music stick to normalfag genres, dont swim in the deep end. I used to get all the bitches and have all the friends when I was an ugly metalhead in highschool. Everyone knew and respected me as a musician, even though I played shallow garbage.

Now i'm in my mid-20s, well dressed/groomed and into avant garde music and the circle of musicians I can relate to has diminished to none in my area.

I wish I could afford moving to a big city because the people around here are tasteless plebs.
>>
>>2566377
dude tell me about it. The music I really love is ambient soundscapes like stuff by Brian Eno and Steve Roach, but everyone just thinks its boring and no one appreciates it.

well, some more beat-oriented ambient is considered really cool though, stuff like Aphex Twin and BoC. But the really good stuff is Eno-esque true soundscapes.
>>
>>2566474
Yeah ambient music is how it started with me. Sometimes I play ambient sets for my friends when we get stoned but thats as far as their appreciation for it goes, no one wants to actually play that music. There's a reason why most ambient/experimental musicians are solo artists, but it bums me out because I love playing with other people.

>tfw I have had a relatively large social network for quite a while, but no girls want to mate with me
