Although i did go to two conventions last year (Supanova) and (Armageddon), I suppose there would be a few fans there.
If any girls are going to Armageddon this year give me a shout.
I'm in Australian and i love dragonball, obviously.
I haven't really met any other girls who do though.

You know, I manage a dutch DragonBall forum and girls are the majority! I currently have about 60 members (just rebooted the whole thing a couple of months back due spam), and this are the poll results of a couple of weeks back;
Male (27.8%)
Female (72.2%)
Pretty funny if you ask me.

I know a number of girls who like Dragonball in good old Australia. They're all taken already though. I live with one.
... Maybe later.

We hardly have any Dragonball fans in Sweden.
They released the manga (which had a great translation, except for some typos, they had only one month a volume to finish it), the animanga, and some badly dubbed movies.
When the manga was still being released, there were some Dragonball toys too (I bought some of those rare Bazooka-Radditz toys).
But it died out.
Now they only care for their precious One Piece.
My point is, if there are no fans, there are no female fans.
But I'm happy my girlfriend isn't a fan.
It's important for me to have my nerdy manga side for myself.
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

If a girl happens to be a Dragon Ball fan cool, if not that's fine too...as long as she doesn't criticize me over it.

Hate to necropost but...
On one of our recent dates, my girlfriend and I had our first kiss while listening to "The Blue Travelers" <3

My girlfriend owns! Not only does she nerd with me over video games but Dragonball as well! We once spent all night playing through all of Burst limit when it first came out. It was a lot of fun. Now a days it seems we have a discussion about Dragonball every night. Hell, she was the one who showed me the Abridged series.

My wife loves Dragon Ball (well, not as much as I do, but still), and we always watch an episode every Friday night. My sons only 2, but I'm sure we'll have another fan in the family once he gets older.

It's a Dragon Ball song.
If I found a girl living near me who remotely liked Dragon Ball, I wouldn't stop trying.

The Blue Travelers is an insert song used in episode 78 of
DragonBall. It's used as Goku and Upa travel back to the Karin Holy Land to summon Shenron so that Upa can wish Bora back to life after being killed by Tao Pai Pai.

Yup. Such a beautiful song...

Hello everybody. My names Greg...and I'm an anime addict.
Somehow, with that, I managed to find a wife. She absolutely HATES dragonball (and anime in general, except Shin Chan), but takes my love of anime in stride. She did manage to buy me every DVD available at the time for Xmas, though. <3

Woops, sorry, didn't notice. I don't normally read people's locations or any of the sort, I just scan their names then read what they have to say. Bad habit of mine that I'll have to change.
Hmm,you have a sense of sarcasm,

In this thread, we try to pretend we have significant others to compare e-penises!
Oh you guys!
