Sometimes I wonder why are we here instead looking around in the places where we are day to day in our own life. To me the attraction here is because we are sharing with people from everywhere, every culture. That is exiting and also sort of instructive. For those who are very serious in the hunt hoping to get a partner, maybe this site is just a help to get dates in his/her area and therefore they are not interested in the cultural side that this site offers. But for guys like me, living far away, the cultural side is practically the only one that counts.

im here for none other than a chat so i dont have any real expectations, if i find decent people who i do eventually have an interest in meeting, well its a bonus.. nothing wrong with having more friends or decent people in ur life is there :P
Nothing that would be really expected from a dating site, I just like reading and participating in the threads from time to time....some of them at least and appreciating, after reading some of the horror stories here, what I have.

IF we were meeting anybody in "the places where we are day to day in our life" then we probably wouldn't BE on here.
I don't expect much anymore, maybe to get cussed at by some single mom's and/or get criticized by complete strangers on CS for anything/everything I am... that's about it.
Almost 2 1/2 years now I've had my CS profile, and not a single date.

That's a great point you made.
Especially for those who have never been to other countries. But really curious about it.

Besides, for those of us which first language is not English it is daring. Many times I don’t get what some people say, other times I don’t dare to post because I’m afraid to be misunderstood. Anyway I love the challenge and learn a lot.
Hey Stef! Agreed! Having no particular expectation is the best way to approach these sites - then you won't be disappointed.
I am here - after being on other sites - because the people are much nicer! To meet people online and have a mix of online and IRL friends. And hope at some point a friend will turn into something more. But in the mean time to have fun and be stimulated...intellectually, of course-
I notice that almost everyone here finds the site and fora (plural for forum) boring and keep complaining about the decreasing quality of people that post here. But my observation is that everyone is still here and the ones complaining the most are the ones who are starring on the fora day and day after day.

OK, enough is enough. I've seen this repeated in at least 5 of your posts. Go take an RSD bootcamp and learn how to get laid. Or get some David De Angelo tapes. But for goodness sake stop whining like a little girl.
I like meeting new friends. I want to have an interesting experience. If love comes along then great. I know there are so many different loves. Not just romantic. Friendship makes me feel safe.

Sorry girls, no offence intended.
We now return you to your regular entertainment.
Lol ..... its like a broken record - not just 5 posts.
As for me, I'm here to have fun on the forums, keep in touch with friends and of course have my eyes, and heart open to hopefully find someone special. You just never know when someone special will come into your radar screen!
I think any site is what you make of it, I've meet some wonderful people in my time year, dated and connected with a few different people. If you want it in real life, you have to be willing to step outside of your room/computer screen - it is possible. I wish that we had meet & greets in my local area - they seem to be a lot of fun.

It passes the time and hope springs eternal!! Plus I've read some interesting verbal exchanges in the fora (apparently plural for forum - see, learn things too!) which are far more interesting than TV at times
I have no expectations as far as finding a partner from this site is concerned. I live like 4853485234152348152194234821 miles away from most people Been there done that with long distance things. So I'm perfectly fine with focusing on women who live in my city. But I never say never
So, basically I'm pretty much here to banter, make new internet friends, and flirt around---and I DO EXPECT my flowerbox to be flooded from time to time
At first time I have an expectation to find partner from another country & culture, but after a while that I met many fun people at forum, I think I just have so much fun here.. No expactation at all & ofcourse no dissappoints..
