[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) IRC? Like a specific one or just a random one from the early 2000s permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 child) I met someone in the official XKCD channel. That person referenced a private server. Later I went to a LAN party where another attendee happened to be on that same private server. I figured that had to be significant and joined the server myself. Some months later, a fluke caused my face to be displayed on a webcam feed I had linked there. My now-wife saw it and proclaimed me cute. Really that was all it took, but she's never since done anything that caused me to regret falling for her. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) I gotta say, this does not seem like a replicable strategy. I think "be open to meeting women where ever you go" is good advice. But I kinda doubt OP is gonna have great success meeting someone specifically by joining an IRC permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago Yeah, it was pretty unlikely back then and much more so now. I guess I should have included a sarcasm mark - I wasn't offering it as a serious suggestion. I do wish them luck meeting someone to love. permalink fedilink source parent
