Meeting other furries

     I want to know how you go about meeting someone else in the fandom. Is the only way to meet people to go a con or something? What I would like is to hear stories from people who are in a relationship with an other furry (I don't care if it's a gay relationship or not). How did you meet them and fall into a committed relationship? (FYI please nobody hit on me, I'm not starting an online relationship).

Gah...I don't even want to tell my stories. Just.....set your standards very low. If you expect the worse, then you can't be that disappointed. Furries are a variety bag of crazies. Some more nutty than others.

So yeah....good luck.

I met people involved in the fandom by going to the local anime fan club meetings ans other general sci-fi/comics conventions. Admittedly, it's easier if you're in or near a "major city". Oh, and the people I've met, I've become good friends with them. No, we weren't looking for dates or life-mates through a fandom-related venue. Perhaps you shouldn't either, and instead try to make some good friends in the fandom. You want a committed relationship, look beyond furries.

See if there's a furmeet in your area. Try looking on LJ for a furry community of the state you live in, they should be listed on there.

And ignore people who outright say furries are all crazy. It's not true. You're going to find just as many varied types of people in the fandom as anywhere else. Yes, some will be very weird, others will fit most social norms just fine. It really depends on the specific people you meet. But if you expect to see crazy people, then those are the ones you're going to notice first.

Also keep in mind: "Crazy people" tend to be on the internet more and at public places less. If you actually GO OUT to meet other furries, you have a better chance of meeting more sane people than if you just stick entirely to the internet. (HINT: Don't use Fchan as a baseline)

Thanks for all the advice on this issue (In case your confused I'm the one who started this thread with the question). A lot of you guys are telling me to look outside the fandom for a real relationship, and while I can very much understand your reasons why, I don't know if thats the best thing for me. I guess if I really want advice I'll have to better explain my reasons for wanting a furry relationship.

     The reason I think I want a relationship with an other furry is because I'm rather confused about my sexuality right now. I don't seem to have much an attraction to men or women, the only thing I seem to like is male/male on male furry stuff.

    And if I want to really find someone I can have a life long love with, it should be someone with the who is into the same stuff I'm into stuff I'm into. I mean everyone wants a good love, and sex is part of love right?

     So in short, I'm seem to only be into furry stuff, so that will effect whatever relationships I engage in. If my situation is starting to sound to you like your own life (i.e. being confused about what your physically attracted to other than furry stuff) please chime in and give me some advice.

I can relate. I am pretty much asexual in reallife, finding neather man nor woman attractive. I only get off to the art, and have seeked out a furry companion to help fill in that part of my life. And things are great. It was a hard road getting here. Just make a effort to meet people online and off, eventually someone will come along you click with, and things will go from there.

to meet people you go to con's. MANY people will be around, don't worry. But meeting them beforehand is simple as well, because you have the internet.

So you think I sound Bisexual? Well I could be I guess. The point is I'm confused and really don't know what I am (except for, of course, a furvert). Thanks for the good wishes and advice, but I assure you I don't merit any envy. In truth I'm a total nerd, to the point that no one I know suspects my lack of an SO has anything to do with me being sexually confused. Funny thing, If I was hot people would most likely suspect something. :) lol

I just finished reading that thread link of yours, furry fox, and while it did help, I don't know if I would say it mirrors my situation, I wouldn't call myself 100% normal when it comes to humans. I have had more than a few gay fantasies that weren't furry( don't get what I said before wrong, most of the time I'm thinking about furry stuff).

     Anyway I did post the subject of this thread "meeting other furies", so why not discuss that a little more. Let's talk about what relationships with other furies are like, and possibly more importantly what are relationships with non-furies like. Has anyone ever told their SO they were fury? Does anyone think it's possible to get a non-fury into fury stuff (I'm just doing research here, nobody worry about me doing something stupid).

    In short, how does a fury go about a relationship?

A furry goes about a relationship like everyone else.  The only difference is finding a partner who is comfortable with you being furry.  Just another compatibility criterion, that's all.  Nothing big.

turning a non-furry a furry?..hmm..not impossible, i have a friend who didnt really know what it was, and he asked me so i showed him, he seemed to like it, but thought it was moar funny, so..its a deff. possibility..haha
as for furry relationships, i wish i could help and i wish i knew, but it feels like im the only one in my small area, but then again, u never know who IS a furry, looks can be decieving
