Cosplaying is fun, it encourages creativity and the childlike spirit of being innocent and happy with simple things and the idea of play. Of course, cosplaying is much more expensive than ordinary games played as a child, because cosplaying requires some swords, anime swords to be exact like the Sword of Calamiy From InuYasha Anime Show (Replica), for example. But there are also added benefits to participating in cosplays and that is your network of friends is expanded. Sure, at first you need to actively seek out and expand your network, but give it a little time and you will have too many friends without you really doing anything. When you attend cosplay eyeballs, there are certainly hundreds of like-minded people, you get to chat with them, exchange mobile numbers and email addresses, and pretty soon you will be friends in Facebook and soon you are inviting each other to dinner or bar hopping with other cosplayers. Or you get to meet the friend of a friend and soon after you are friends with him, then you meet his friend and the cycle continues on. There is nothing wrong with this, and in fact this is healthy. The people you meet through cosplays may be people who become your closest friends in life whom you run to when you are in trouble. Or they are the ones who cheer you up when you are feeling specially low. Most of all, you can now go to cosplay eyeballs as a group.
