Have you found others?

[AnArtisticPontato 91]

I once found a few at Coney Island, which is a theme park. This guy had a Rainbow Dash hat on and the two chicks with him had MLP t-shirts. I've also met a few in my area. Heck, my girlfriend loves MLP!

Well, at the beach this summer, a guy held the door open for me and he had on a Rainbow Dash shirt with the word brony at the top. I literally just stared until he caught on and asked for a brohoof. This was the highlight of my entire summer.

 

Also, last week I saw someone with a Twilight bumper sticker. That was pretty awesome.

[Cirrus. 1,088]

No luck here unfortunately. Then again, I don't specifically think about or look for MLP stuff when I'm out and about either.

[zombienixon 330]

Yeah, I met a few through a Facebook group that showed on a map of meetup groups they had on EqD, back when I'd go on there. But as far as finding random people in public, it's happened once or twice. I don't think I've ever really talked much to any of them.

[Tapfire 92]

I actually met one. He was at school and is no longer a brony, but he bronified me when I lost a bet to him (Even though he is now an avid Anime fan, which was what he had to do if he lost the bet; watch an anime over 50 eps long Start to Finish)

[Gearbox10mm 794]

I've never seen anyone wearing pony merch in real life but then I don't really get out that much.

 

There are probably more bronies out there than you would think. Take me for example, you'd never know I was a brony just by looking at me. Not all bronies wear such things in day to day life.

[Venomous 18,819]

I have only met a small amount of other MLP:FiM fans in real life.

[Miles 2,512]

I've run into a few bronies in real life.

One time I was at K-Mart and I saw a couple together in a random isle, and the girl was wearing a brony cap, so I looked around to make sure nobody else was within hearing distance (because I'm a closet brony)... and I walked up to her and brohoofed her.  But... Then she said, "Actually, it's his hat."  Needless to say, I was quite embarrased, and awkwardly said "Oh," looked to the side, cleared my throat, and walked away.

On a happier note, this past summer when I was working as a part-time cashier at a grocery store, one of my coworkers (whom I knew her from school as she was in my grade, but she was always super shy) had a bracelet with something brony related, and also a dogtag necklace with AJ on it.  I told her I liked them, that I was a brony as well, but asked her not to tell anyone because I don't want people knowing I'm a brony.  (I come from a very country area, with a lot of traditional, conservative-minded folks).

And as a bonus, one time I checked out a customer (damn that guy was tall, like 6' 5" at least) who was wearing a shirt with a pony on it.  Since I was one of the closers that night and nobody else was around, I said "Nice shirt!" and smiled.  He thanked me, of course.

Yeah, sometimes, mostly at local comic cons (go figure).

Right.  There were tons of bronies at YoumaCon this past weekend, but that's a con.  I mean, I saw several people cosplaying ponies and there was pony merch for sale in the dealer's room.  But I've never met any actual bronies "in the wild."  A couple of my friends sort of like the show but they are not at all part of the fandom.

[Rawzy 1,302]

I have never met or seen anybody in real life that is a brony. The only thing that even came close was a little girl who lives in the house across the road from mine, and she had 2 mlp ponies in her room. I've only been over there once, and the girl was like 10 years old :/ So yea...not much luck for me...

[green 331]

Oddly enough, the last time I saw someone wearing a pony shirt was a guy back at High School in a weight training class. Yeah... Im surprised he didn't get beat up by all the guys there.

Probably because the pony that was on his shirt was Bulk Biceps?

Nope. If my memory serves right (which it normally dosen't) I think it was Time Turner... Or something.

[superdogz1999 551]

I have not seen a single other Brony in real life, but I converted one of my friends into a Brony.

[n0body555 334]

A while ago, yeah. Have not really seen anyone else though around here 

[10InTheTardis 509]

Back before I was a brony, well, not much before I was one, just a few weeks before I first saw the show, I found out one of my friends was a brony. They didn't tell me to watch the show or anything, but I was already wondering if I should or not, so that sort of settled it for me. Since then, I've found out that two more of my friends are. But I've never met a brony I wasn't already friends with, what an odd coincidence.

[Sekr Gray 520]

My best friend and girlfriend in high-school were bronies, and they were the ones that introduced me to the show and fandom. Beyond that, I've met @Commander Frost IRL, after finding out we lived with 10 miles of each other

I've met a few. It hasn't really been anything special. One is a gal that I hang out with at school. The rest I just stumbled upon when I went into town (I only realized they were Bronies because they stopped to give me Brohoofs, due to my MLP shirts).

[Chronamut 355]

mmmnope.

 

then again I don't really look very hard.

[SilyGeny 369]

Well never met or found a brony in real life... sadly in French Guiana people tend to be really homophobic, and since I'm gay and a brony...

 

As Destiny's Childs would say I'mma survivor lmao 

[Partialgeek514 4,925]

I met one brony who goes to the same curling lessons I go to. I haven't talked to him much though. (curling is the sport where you throw stones across a sheet of ice by the way) Other than that, I wore a not too obvious pony shirt to a dance the other night and a couple girls I met there recognized it instantly and seemed to like it. I'm not sure how much they're into the show though.

[Scaredypants~ 133]

I converted my boyfriend into a brony, but no I don't have any friends other than my boyfriend irl cause I'm too shy so..

[Luigi 7,869]

Was that pretty hard? Just wondering, because my girlfriend converted me without any desperate warning.

[Espurr 449]

Yep. Some of the sweetest peeps I know. (Peeps as in people, not the candy!)
