Forums get boring after a while. Same old people repeating same old things. People leave (from tons of reasons), mostly because they find something more interesting - either in virtual or real life. New people aren't interested to join - they prefer picture/video social media that don't make them think, just watch and tap. In the end old members are left with nothing but fighting among themselves if they want to have any sort of interaction with others.
One shouldn't spend too much time on forums - no more than 15 minutes or a half an hour a week/ten days. Otherwise he becomes just a new fresh meat for forum predators.
I think that most people on this planet are average. Really beautiful people are rare everywhere and - you can also find them everywhere. All countries are the same... It's just that sometimes our own beauty standards don't allow us to see beauty in places we aren't accustomed to.
No, especially if old members have left... Threads with a lot of posts (videos, images) open very slowly, so they should be replaced with new ones after a while. Just some thoughts...
While being in my home country and still considering whether to move to another country or not, I spent a lot of time online talking to people from the country I planned to move to - both men and women - on various social media sites and also forums and dating sites. I thought it would be nice to make some friends before moving and - maybe even meet someone special. I made quite a number of virtual friends and potential dates, who were looking forward to meeting me.
When I finally decided to accept a job offer and move temporarily (to see how everything goes, before I make a final decision) - I was unpleasantly surprised by the behavior of my virtual acquaintances. Some got VERY busy the moment they realized that I was living in their country/town and never had the time to meet in RL. That was very curious since they used to have a lot of time to spend with me virtually (and not with me only, but on the internet in general). Some simply vanished. I did meet some, but they didn't seem too happy about it. They were distant and not very friendly. It was more a sort of a duty for them (they promised...). I preferred their "friendly virtual self" much much more. Only a couple of people were who they said they were and were really nice and friendly.
At least 90% of all my virtual contacts were actually time wasters - not only romantically, but also as potential friends.
People live more on the internet than in reality nowadays, I guess.
I've been very busy lately and I simply can't find the time to "search for love". When the weekend comes, all I want to do is relax, lie down, watch a film, surf the internet and - stay at home. I'm too tired to go out with friends, especially at night or on blind dates with men I might meet online. I wonder if I really have the time and energy for a relationship at the moment. Any others with the similar problem? How do you manage? And - do you?
I really hate gossiping on forums. There are so many people with too much free time at their hands who have nothing better to do but gossip about unknown people on some website. That's pathetic.
A couple of days ago I read an article saying that Facebook is already "yesterday's news". It's just a matter of time until it breaks up. People are migrating to other social networks and deleting their FB profiles more and more every day.
I'm very busy with my work at the moment, so I don't have much time to feel lonely. I'm surrounded with people every day all day long and I can't wait for the weekend to relax and be alone at home.
