easygoingguy: I wonder how many of us that spend a lot of time at the forums are genuinely looking for a partner or is it TOO comfortable doing what we are doing now so why change the status quo? Maybe I`m wrong but it seems that more time is put into idle chit chat rather than courtship.
i think people that spend so much time idling on the forums are also into courtship they manage to do everything, just like Napoleon so don't worry abt that!

Interesting point, 'e-g-g',
I'm genuine. Serious.
I also 'have a life'. I can't do more than dip in to a site like this on a weekend when I can make the time.
It's certainly not a haven or a refuge or a 'hobby'. There's a lot more going on in my life. And, of course, I am open to dating, a relationship in 'the real world' if that happens. But I'm relaxed about it.
You raise an issue, though. I've noted only one person here who has defined her terms, qualified her status, and said she's with a partner, she's not looking, and she's here only for the social 'chat' on the forums.
I wonder why she doesn't prefer real, tactile, people - or at least a more relevant Internet chat site?
Surely most of us have joined this site because we are single and open to a new relationship?
Are you suggesting that some people are in fact using this an Internet site as a haven from their insecurities? That they are possibly too timid to confront the real world and ask, or be asked, or take a proper chance on a relationship?
You're probably correct.
I've also experienced combative response from two women here who seem too ready to attack a man, then applaud each other for having 'scored' a 'wikipedia' hit.
Of course, this might reflect more on PC American women. I don't know.

Nicely put, 'E'. I like your 'Napoleon' reference. But was his own timidity, his Naval neglect at the very least, or 'fear' of water, a factor in his downfall, his 'Waterloo'? Although if you're referring to his earlier romantic life, then you're absolutely correct ...!
It's great to be talking to someone from TL...!

I think he's saying American are more combative than their British and Australian counterparts. Hee, Hee....Oh, boy...I've bee working in an environment for the past few years where most of the people are native English speakers, and most are Austrialian or British.....first, combative is totally the wrong word--It's fiesty! Ha! and second, my wonderful friends from other English speaking nations are strong, intelligent women who are not afraid to speak their minds---So, I'd have to disagree with the assertion, if that is your assertion, that American women tend to be more combative....
