In the “Chatting with Maaya Until Dawn” thread on 5ch’s Newsspeed VIP board, regular poster “Maaya” shared memories of a kind, married coworker from her part-time job, along with her own views on love.

Her remark that “people can only date others on the same level as them” drew responses from thread members like, “That’s surprisingly deep.”

So you're into 37-year-old shut-ins?

Being so spoiled by his mother is infuriating 😭 sigh…
Not 37 years old — he's 52 and has been a shut-in for 37 years
His mother is 80
And his sister is 56 and just got hit by a romance scam, lol

Maaya, you seem like you'd be popular in real life though
19Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 00:24:21.143ID:qE2QQT4Kr
>>16
I'm not popular at all 😭 sigh…
One of my happiest memories from my part-time job is a tall, average-looking guy (already had a girlfriend) who'd talk to me every time we crossed paths
He got married in no time, but he kept talking to me even after the wedding
I wonder why he even talked to me…

What, a new character just showed up? The legend of "Masaki"

Sounds like something out of "The Non-Fiction" (a Japanese documentary TV series)

Maybe it wasn't that he was into you — maybe you were just easy for him to talk to?

He and I worked different jobs so we didn't run into each other much
But we happened to meet on my first day at the part-time job
He introduced himself to me first
After that, whenever we crossed paths he'd say things like, "Aren't you cold? You're wearing a cardigan for sun protection"
Or he'd suddenly show up while I was working and show me an old anime-branded ruler, saying, "Doesn't this bring back memories?" 😭 sigh…

What anime was it?
32Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 00:41:34.394ID:YTl8sRsi0
>>28
He sounds like a friendly guy
You should've just stolen him from his girlfriend

Good evening, Maaya
What did you have for dinner?

Good evening 😭 sigh…
Grilled pork

Even if I started a YouTube channel, it probably wouldn't work out 😭 sigh…

If you promoted it on VIP, people would probably watch

Yesterday there were a bunch of Maaya threads where the ID didn't end in "r" — did you make those, Maaya, or was that someone else? (5ch posters often verify identity by the last character of their poster ID)
77Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:26:09.333ID:qE2QQT4Kr
>>72
That was me 😭 sigh…
I don't know why it changed
78Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:28:09.318ID:lMdbutTTd
>>77
Ah, I see, thanks
The last character can turn into a "d" or a "0" sometimes too — it just changes for no clear reason now and then
79Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:29:20.547ID:YdPUWZZcr
>>77
Lately even on SoftBank mobile data it sometimes turns into a 0
It's surprising — makes you think you accidentally connected to public wifi without realizing

>>85
I just want to date a normal person 😭 sigh…
95Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:40:16.560ID:YTl8sRsi0
>>89
Normal how? Were the guys you've dated before kind of messed up?
98Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:41:44.039ID:qE2QQT4Kr
>>95
People can only date others on the same level as them, you know 😭 sigh…
I long for someone who grew up in a decent, stable home

I see…
Guess if the levels don't match, it just doesn't last
102Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:43:45.591ID:YdPUWZZcr
That's surprisingly deep
