Soarin Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 The title is kinda weird, but I can't think of what to say. What I mean is have you ever been in public and just randomly found out someone's a brony? I would love to actually meet a brony in person, but I doubt I have the courage to approach ANYPONY and ask "Hey do you watch MLP?" Have you ponies ever had an experience like that and started talking to them about the show? If not, would you like to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I only run into disaffected teenagers at the mall who would roll their eyes at me, so I don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptchild Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Astoundingly no, and I stride around public with a Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy T-shirts and the Pinkie Pie McDonalds toy hanging at my hip like a keychain on a bi-daily basis!Heck I walk laps around down town in my city for exercise, blatantly wearing pony gear. Not ONE person even bats an eye at it! Not even a mean look or a nod! NOTHING!It's kinda frustrating actually... I hate how boring my town is.

Davroth Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 When I went to the MCM Expo in London I kept my eyes open looking for people that had MLP themed buttons or pins, mostly because I wanted to buy one. ^^But yeah, back in Germany, Bronies are far less frequent, so I'm not surprised that I don't run into them all the time.

stargazer Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have seen on many occasions seen strangers with pony gear on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHero Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Four instances -A random brohoof the first time I wore "This Shirt Just Got 20 Percent Cooler."Someone drawing ponies on their laptop at a rec center.Somehow Celestia got into a conversation I was having with a stranger at work and the subject turned into ponies.I met a co-worker on Meetup.com that I've "known" for about a year or so now (seen on occassion but never really talked to) through a Brony meetup group.

MyLittlePonyTales Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I bought a FiM coloring book one time at the Dollar General that was by my house. The chick at the register was like, 'I didn't know we had little ones'. I asked if she watched the show or if she was a Brony or something, I don't remember exactly. Before I left I initiated a brohoof though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sometimes I'll see guys and gals enter my store with MLP shirts on, and I'll just smile and complement them om their pony-gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korok132 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It depends on your definition of "stranger." For people I don't know, I saw about 20 people in pony shirts at PAX East in April, with three Rainbow Dashes, a Fluttershy, and a Celestia cosplayers. For people I kinda know but not really, I think a grand total of three people in my grade last year had pony shirts. Two females and one male. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarin Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 You guys, the guys who have met with real life bronies, are so lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Haha I met one today. The guy working in Hot Topic. He asked if I needed help while I was looking at shirts. I had set down a Marceline (Adventure Time) keychain and a Raibow Dash keychain, and he asked if that was my stuff. When I replied yes, he was like, 'I like this show' (picking up the Marceline keychain). Then I guess he saw the RD keychain under it, and was like, 'and this show'. And then I was looking at t-shirts and he says, 'and Regular Show'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarin Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ha! I like those shows, too. I've only known of one brony in real life, well only seen for that matter, but he was mentally deficient, so I'm not exactly sure if it was a phase or a way to vent frustration. The only reason I know this is because he was flaunting his shirt that had RD's flowing mane and no body that read "This shirt just got 20% cooler" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker_Izing Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 My mailman, he just passed today to deliver a couple of records, on his rearview mirror proudly showed a McDonalds fluttershy toy... (Even he found out on me by my nasty habit to receive pony sized packages from the very shop he buys theyrs...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yup! It's always fun to run into brony-types out in the wilds. When I was at a meetup, a few people actually joined in that weren't part of the original meetup. They just happened to be there and happened to like pony.
