How Should i tell me best friend that i'm a brony?

Do what I did.

Wear a shirt detailing your broniness.

 

Don't just rush in and tell your friend that your a brony.

Just slowly let them know, and/or let them question it first.

That's how I got my friends into it.

 

i just told my best friend straight up that i'm a brony. he asked what it was and i explained to him. i said that its people, specifically males, who like the show my little pony: friendship is magic. he took me seriously and didn't care. he made some small jokes about it, but in that friendly way. when it comes to your best friend, dont worry about holding it back. if they are your best friend they will still love you no matter what.

 

I just Posted me in Brony shirts and Put MLP:FiM Pictures as my Profiles picture on my facebook and posted some videos.

 

*gives random rep cause he is cool like that*

 

I'd recommend just bringing it up in conversation. I've talked about the show before around a few friends and they didn't really care, because the fact that I watch it doesn't change who I am and really isn't a big deal.

So basically, don't worry too much about it. There's no reason for your friend to think any differently of you just because you watch a kid's cartoon

 

It depends on your friends ^^ If they're the supportive, mature types who will want to give anything you love a chance, you should tell them immediately and suggest a time to watch S2E3 together |3

If they're anything less than that, however, I'd be careful. It's up to you how big a part of your life you want to make this, of course--but in my experience, most non-bronies aren't going to get it. Some of them will be hostile. If it's not worth it to you to be on the wrong end of fairly acrid criticism, I'd just keep it to yourself.

 

Do you need to?

I mean personally I don't see why you should. It's not a big deal, it's not as if you're telling him you're attracted to him or anything, just you like a family oriented show based on a toy franchise for girls. Should the topic of ponies ever come up in conversation, or maybe what TV shows you both like, then yeah, tell him you like it and you're a part of the fandom.

It's just a casual, matter of fact issue, so don't feel any pressure or anything.

Chill bra, be a mellow fellow.

 

Well, I would first say that I watch a totally unrelated show that I would know to get him/her laughing, then say I also like MLP, although I also changed my facebook to my favourite character, then started parading around like an escaped mental patient. You don't need to take my advice if you don't want to.

 

Tell your friend Fluttershy is awesome and go from there..

 

Desktop wallpaper might be good. It's subtle, yet direct.

 

I just said I'm a brony (then explained what that meant) when I was coming out the stables. The way I saw it, if they were going to judge me, they weren't very good friends. But surprisingly, they didn't even seem to care! Just tell 'em, if they are really good friends no harm could come of it and it feels really good when its out there...

 

Best way (my opinion) to find out if your friend's a Brony:

1. Drop well known phrases into sentences (20% cooler etc.)
2. Look for a reaction.
3. If there is no reaction, let the friend find out for themselves or drop hints.
4. Repeat every week.

Worked for me. Converted a friend!

 

I think we should just adopt secret handshakes and be done with it |3 Signs of the brethren and all that.

 

^ This.

We must spread the word.

 

I agree. BROHOOF TO EVERYPONY! (^_^) /)

 

Really it's however you want to tell him. If you're a direct kinda person, then just do it straight up.

I'm guessing you're not since you're asking about tactful strategies to use in order to let him know you're a pony.


In which case, I think the best idea would be to just drop a line, such as using "20% cooler" or "you're so random" (ehh), or maybe "oatmeal, are you crazy?"

You know, something that a fellow pony fan would recognize. If there is no reaction, then he's probably not part of the fandom, but he may still know of the show. If you're still serious, then up the ante. Switch your ringtone/desktop wallpaper/music you listen to around him to something pony related.

If he sees it and says something, go from there. You may just need to explain that you're not the only non-6yr old girl who watches the show. If there is still no reaction, then he probably doesn't even know the show exists, and the direct approach is probably the only way.



Whatever you do, just stay cool and calm. The right attitude is important to pique his interest yet not turn him away. Don't get overly excited or defensive, just act like "yeah I like MLP, no big deal."
