Can you describe some occasions you met a new female friend (who you didn’t previously know) at a social event, lesswrong-related or otherwise, and how it wasn’t creepy, and what was fun/interesting/good about it.
I met some really neat girls by visiting the minicamps. They were friendly and most of them liked Luminosity. They were pretty huggy, but didn’t make a big deal about it (didn’t hold on too long or tense up strangely). (One of them wanted my autograph.) Despite the fact that I am Internet Famous and whatnot, they all clearly had other things to do too and could talk about other topics besides that, which was relevant; I was able to freely circulate through the parties/groups/whatever arrangement people wanted to be in and steer conversations around as easily as I can with people who I already know well.
