NYC Macro/Micro Meetup Results
 

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! We got organized! *shriek*
The first meet went great! Even with a bunch of last minute cancellations, and a lot of people holding out for the second meet, we still had a decent turnout!
Most of us were very nervous, but we quickly became really comfortable hanging around each other. It was extremely surreal, almost like sitting amongst long lost brothers and sisters! The topic of our first meet was to share our origin stories. Most of us had started with macrophilia or microphilia early on, before we had even hit puberty. Several of us shared stories about always pushing giant/tiny games on our friends LOL. Pretty much everyone there referenced some TV show, movie, comic, etc, with some sort of size difference or process, and there would always be several heads nodding along, knowing exactly which episode/part you were talking about. Some talked about happy moments, sad moments, embarrassing moments...just any which way living with the fetish had affected their lives. Some had 'come out' for the first time there, others had mentioned that the meet changed their life. Overall, I don't think one person there (myself included) left without feeling like they had gained some sort of personal legitimacy.

Here's a pic of our first meetup attendees minus 2 others who didn't want to participate in the photo. And cheers to all of you who were brave enough to come to our first meet!

After our 2 hour meet I had been looking for a local, affordable (for the neighborhood at least :P) bar to go celebrate, and found this place called "Swift". One of the members later pointed out to me that it was named after Gulliver's Travels writer Jonathan Swift. Was this place not the most appropriate place ever?! LOL

We pretty much ended up partying all night long...it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Having people discuss size stuff openly in front of you is just the most fun, relaxing thing...like ever.... I had never felt more liberated or accepted ever. It was a fucking awesome feel.

We will be doing monthly meets, so if you're at all interested in joining, please e-mail (do not note) to join at jitenshasw@gmail.com

WOW! Nice. I know it's great to be able to discuss your fetishes in front of friendly people. I've been so lucky so many of my friends and relatives know about mine.

I'm happy for you that this meeting was a success.
Now we need a who is who, so we know who is on the photo.

Should I ever lost my way to NY, I would be happy to join one of these meetups.

I attended and it was a really great time! Super kudos to Jitensha for setting the whole thing up and to everyone who made it out! I was a special experience to be face to face with people who share this. You could make obscure references and everyone knew what you were talking about. You mention a particular cartoon from the 80's or a piece of artwork online and people would start nodding.

It's hard for me to put it all into words, but I definitely recommend everyone take the plunge and come out to the next one if you can make it. It's liberating to know I have brothers and sisters out there who are just like me!

Sigh. Too bad NYC is so damn far away. I'd totally have gone.

I would go if I was in NY. I am kind of curious though, whats the % of Macro to micro lovers at these meetings?
