huh... interesting. *kenchan scratching chin*

yah, i know a few people that mentioned they met online. and they have a nice family and all.

and wat cracked me up was the folks that married their long time gf's pretty much all divorced.

ok, not a laughing matter ..but the point is, it seems there's more and more quality people are online and are willing to reach out.

Meeting online lets you get past the superficial surface stuff and right down into talking about who you really are deep down. Those are the connections that can last a lifetime, friends or otherwise. Just have to look out for the Crazy and the Damaged.

And the ones who clearly misunderstand what an "athletic" build is. Listen bitch, sumo doesn't count.

Yeah. I watch too much HGTV and want my house to look something like what I see on some of those shows.

This is where the gay friend comes in. Every straight man needs a gay friend. Stereotyping heavily, but they're great with decorations and clothes, and they are un-freaking-believable wingmen. Don't be afraid to accompany them to gay bars, either. There are straight women there accompanying their gay friends.

I have tried it, but no luck. I'm not the type of person to just hook up, I guess. That and I'm not very good at writing about myself or breaking the ice.

I lucked out. When I bought my house, my mom was a recently retired interior decorator. "Here's my budget, here's my credit card. Go nuts."

i c... hummm... would it help to note that you're not really good writing about yourself and stuff?

not sure, but i feel that there are many people out there that's not good at writing about one's self and also communicating their thoughts... without feeling awkward. perhaps that might be a common ground to start a relation?

That's how you tell the difference between the real people and the fake ones on dating sites. Real people sound awkward when writing about themselves.

i started on 28.8k dialup
i remember drooling to get an ISDN connection (128k), it was like holy cow that's fast!!!
thanks for giving me a nostalgia trip... doom deathmatches over dialup on my 33mhz 8mb ram system lol!

Haboob · 11-04-2013, 09:48 AM

Ugh, alright. Y'all are gonna make me go research house stuff again. Maybe this time I'll pull the trigger.

Since I butted into this thread, let me justify it.

I'm about 35 (beyond 30 it's a math effort to know my age) and single myself. Quite enjoying the life. Have friends with families and you can see the envy on their face when you get to enjoy your freedom!

You've got a year or two on me, but I'm in the same boat for the most part. It's a good gig. Loving the unmarried/no kids life.

I don't want the kids, at the moment, but being that all of my friends are married and most with kids, I'd like to not be the third wheel when I go out with those w/o kids.

That's a good thing to be. You need to be around them. That way, you'll be the "single guy friend" who gets set up with all of their single friend and coworkers. Tell them to bring along one of her friends so you're not the third wheel.

The only thing I question is the attractiveness of their friends. Everyone's taste is different, they say she's good looking and then I'm like... ehh, not really?

Plus, they seem to only know Mexican girls, which I'm not really attracted to and tell them (always exceptions though

).

I guess it's part of my pickiness (or pickyness? **** spelling)...
