converting people to furry?

[Kaprika]

no, he hasnt joined yet. im saying he is making progress in that direction

@ reibukoneko:  ok..well perhaps just make it for her and say you made it FOR her, but she doesnt have to feel pressured into accepting it as her fursona..

well i think a tolerance is a great start..so far so good on my end, im painting his fursona soon and he finnaly chose a name for it (he kept tellin me i could name it, but i said it had to come from him else he wouldnt relate to his fursona properly)  he finally decided upon Midgarin..its apparently a name he's used for a while for various things..online accounts..Xbox live..

im gonna try to regularly draw our fursona's together..perhaps get him to feel MORE involved in it, i doubt he would make an account here..since he is rarely ever online. (thats my fault, im online like ALL DAY )
but i think..that getting him to join it would really make me feel closer with him. its like.....iunno, we dont DO alot together anymore. and if he were to join in the fandom with me, id have a furry to hang with ALL the time!

couples furcon just make sure you're not forcing him or anything, sometimes when I'm trying to get someone interested in something I can unintentionally be a bit forceful

[Kaprika]

yeah. he said he would be happy to go to a furcon with me if i went. *wags tail* i think that would be a AWESOME place for him to go with me, im SURE that if he could just spend 3 days immersed in our culture and people like a convention...then he would find the furry in him that i know could be there

[icy wolf]

hehe try to bring him to fur meets ... i know that there are two dinner meets hear each month

[Kaprika]

i dont know of any fur-meets near Maryland ):

You can search around the web for them, there's bound to be more than a few. Like for instance Rocky Mountain Furcon is taking place downtown in my city right now

Maryland that in California  right ? Google California furs or something like that, i did that but instead i typed in Ontario furs / furries and  i found a few web sites. my firends bother was a fan of the fandom untill he brought him to a few meets then he became a furry.

[ReibuKoneko]

Thank you, Her favorite animal is a snowy owl and shes EXTREMELY sarcastic but that's where my knowledge stops. (I know its sad. We have dated, I've known her for almost 2 years. and I'm in love with her.) If anyone could help me with a fursona (including a name) that would be greatly appreciated. Just PM me.

Maryland is a state on the east coast of the U.S., icy.

Getting him to go to a furmeet or a fur con is an excellent idea.

i live in Canada .... sorry for my lack of US state knowledge... ive talk to some furs in rl at a fur con who where from the US and they got me confused  on where they where from...

ive been trying to get one of my friends to join the fandom but his mom dose not like it and she made his sister leave... and she wont rejoin it

 

[Kaprika]

whaaat.??? her mom is lame


its a shame that closed minded parents sometimes drill out all the origionality, differences and fun out of there kid so that they would be "normal"

[✡]

true enough, that's why I hide all my furry stuff in a safe spot. my parents always yell when I act "different"

[Kaprika]

me, i did that for a while...until i figured out that if i do it here and there long enough..that she will just get to tired to yell at me about it and let me do it...thats now i slowly got to dress how i want.
one day i just wore a collar...didnt say anything, just DID it..and she would tell me to take it off so i would..but she would see me wearing it again the next day. and id not wear it EVERY day, just randomly. and she eventualy got accostomed to it and didnt bother me.
THEN i started wearing other things like this, and did the same thing..the trick is to TRAIN your parents into it, wean them slowly into what you like.
