For me, I know myself. Out There, I would get utterly entranced with a woman who smells good and looks good, and we would have absolutely nothing in common. I know I'm a bit different, but normal, and I am looking for someone equally normal. But what about you? Why look in here instead of Out There?

You didn't say that on the snogging thread last night.

Cause of the amount of failures out there haven't reached the amount of failures I have had on here yet.

I don't worry about failures. Many great people have failed over and over again. I figure we just got to keep trying. Read about Abe Lincoln life: 1831 - Lost his job 1832 - Defeated in run for Illinois State Legislature 1833 - Failed in business 1834 - Elected to Illinois State Legislature (success) 1835 - Sweetheart died 1836 - Had nervous breakdown 1838 - Defeated in run for Illinois House Speaker 1843 - Defeated in run for nomination for U.S. Congress 1846 - Elected to Congress (success) 1848 - Lost re-nomination 1849 - Rejected for land officer position 1854 - Defeated in run for U.S. Senate 1856 - Defeated in run for nomination for Vice President 1858 - Again defeated in run for U.S. Senate 1860 - Elected President (success)
So a few failures at finding a soul mates isn't all that bad.

Maybe not necessarily in a romantic sense but I have always wanted to translate some of these connections from online to in person. That was the whole idea but after a lot of meeting people who were basically strangers and making a few friends out of it frankly I am weary of meeting people in person and have backed off from it for a while. The forums have shown me that everyone has a bit of wisdom, some are very brilliant, some are just really shining people in that even from a few comments on a screen you can tell how wonderful they are and most of us are still just trying to figure it all out. These forums have been a good experience too in a way a social experiment and it is true to life that you will connect with a few but most everyone will be simply an acquaintance. I have no fear of meeting any one of you in person there would be some I would be friends with no matter what the venue and others that we would simply not have a meeting of the minds or personalities.

Because even though I live in the place I grew up and should be comfortable with local culture there are so many things I don't like and since I can't move I thought maybe I'd meet some people with different values online. You've lived here you have some idea what I'm talking about.

I think this is what all of us are hoping for to find someone on line and to make in work in "real life". I have made some lasting friends from my on-line discussions. I haven't met Miss Right yet!
He had it made, so oh whaaaa he had trouble getting a few jobs or failure at business , some of us have done that double time, or the rough up bringing. And then to go for being president , Hell I just wished I could've afforded a divorce and kept the kids and house. I would've finished paying for it, no support needed.
