20TF living in Shinjuku since last summer, looking to make friends and meet people :)

i turned my apartment into a hangout spot with a bunch of stuff:

  • full size touchscreen dart machine
  • DAM karaoke machine with a proper mic setup
  • truck sim rig with wheel, pedals and monitor
  • a Sunmi kiosk where you can play games and print custom memes/gifs on a receipt printer
  • a BLÅHAJ pit (400 shark plushies) with ocean wave projectors, sound effects and an OLED tv

i found security vulnerabilities in Red Bull and Tom Holland’s beer company, reported them responsibly, and they hooked me up as a thank you. 15 cases of Red Bull and 20 cases of Tom Holland’s NA beer which is honestly great for cocktails. i also do this kind of work full time as a security researcher, you might have seen some of my stuff in the news for hacking FIFA, McDonald’s, Frontier Airlines, the Pope’s prayer app, and a bunch of others

im pansexual, trans, self employed in cybersecurity, and free basically all the time. very much a people person and honestly pretty lonely here, so id love to meet cool folks for friendship, dates, events, whatever

i love tech, programming, animals, nature, musicals, baking, hiking, gaming, clarinet, cocktail mixing, geocaching, record collecting, and crime documentaries. music taste is Tally Hall, Will Wood, classic rock and metal. you can also watch me hack live if you’re into that lol

based in Shinjuku, happy to grab a drink or food nearby and see if we vibe. open any day, any time

looking to connect with women, trans folks, and non-binary people. thanks for respecting that <3

      Yeah. As I said, I know it’s impossible to prove. I’m saying people shouldn’t take everything on face value, especially if it sounds awesome sauce and so cool and you’re a cool hacker and woaaah you live in Japan that’s my dreaaaam please be my friend - because what you describe is at least unusual, to say the least.

          You say that people could just meet you in person if they don’t believe you. For people to meet you in person they’d have to be in Japan. That’s obviously unrealistic for pretty much everyone here so they’re back to having to take your word for it.

          If you want to find friends in Tokyo, you’re not going to find them on a platform where Japanese people living in Tokyo can probably be counted on one hand. What you will find is people fawning over you.

            I tried dating apps, spent hundereds of dollars on them found no one i thought maybe people living in tokyo would be on here, there are a lot of foreigners. For online friends I would show them around my house on call when I trust them. And why should it matter to people im friends with how big my house is, I want genuine friends who likeme for my personality.
