The whole internet thing

[GaryNas]

I keep reading about guys on here talking with girls online. I'm definitely not into looking for an online relationship or whatever, but practicing convo skills would be nice. So where do you guys go? I signed up for this friendster thing, but it says I have to add friends and build a network. I tried doing searches, but everytime 0 results are returned. So that seems like a dud (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).

What else is there? I only use ICQ as an IM, but nobody is really on there any more except a few of my real life friends...

Help!

Practice convo skills in the real world, with real people. Much of your language doesn't come from what you say but the tone you use and the way you move your body. In other words, you will never learn a thing from online conversations because you can't implement it into real life. I hope every Online-DJs reads this.

i totally agree with lifeforce.

one other important disctinction - in real life u have to think on ure feet.

You have to add people to be able to see other people. It basically allows you to see your friend's friends and your friend's friend's friends etc...anyway, I just started the friendster So Suave group, join us. First Name: So Suave Last Name: Online

I hate chatting with girls online. It is incredibly lame and there is absolutely no excitment or mystery.

I know some guys who spend days at a time literally just chatting with people through MSN messenger and such.

I use messenger to send brief messages to friends and such but to have a conversation, I'd much rather meet in person or at least over the phone.

It's like people are getting used to hiding behind their computer screen and would rather do that than experience real human interaction.

I guess the same could be said about this forum.
