Have We Become Like One Big Disfunctional Family, On C/S (155)
Arthur_Sixpence: I was challenged with this very question the other day.... "if you're single, why are you not here to date", whilst not verbatim, that was the gist of it...
Might be we start with an intent to date in one way or another, but become quick studies of our own form and the form of others...and lo, the forums become a 'friendship zone' (kinda sorta) and another social platform (boards lite / fb)... There's very likely a lot of singles who would rather be doubles, and I'm sure doubles who are attracted to the lure of a social presence, and of course, those who combine both...
I have come to believe if someone meets me in person, there's no mistaking who I am, and interpersonal exchanges are direct and in the moment, nothing calculated... Here we can go in and tweak the program when there's a glitch, 'ITRW', it's a different kettle of fish... Will I stay, possibly, would I be missed if I left again... Consider the way of the chip wrapper, once you were news, and then you were history...and as we say....'the world just keeps on turning'....

missed if you left.
You say it as it is, and your witt and intelligence are clear to be seen.
And i don't know of any woman that those two qualities don't appeal to.

Look Anna ... you have to understand that most posters are anti -social, or are the misfits of society & cannot interact on a social level in the real world .. the majority of forumers cannot hold a conversation & can only see one side of an argument!A bit of support would be nice
Then you get the word "troll" thrown about , by such people , who see humour , or banter , as a way of bullying, or harassment, when in fact , it's a funny way of light hearted communication.
