Myspace is a fun way to kill an hour or so.

Myspace is also a great way to meet single women...if you're single and unmarried like I am.
One thing that irks me about Myspace is how shy some of the women are.

Women from my city will send me a friend request and I'll approve it.
Usually, after I've approved them, I'll send a friendly e-mail greeting and then they'll respond to that e-mail saying that they thought I was good looking and they wanted to get to know me better.
If I find them attractive (which several of them have been) and try to initiate some kind of dialogue via IM, they all turn cold.
They just don't answer after our first correspondence.

What's up with that?

I could understand if I had said or did something to drive them away...
But with these women, I barely get the chance to talk with them at all.
It's like they get cold feet or something.

I don't have time for that B.S.

Someone send a sexy woman my way that has some friggin' confidence!

Ash...try talking to them in e-mail a few times first before suggesting IM...many women I know have complained to me how they get turned off by someone asking about IM that they don't really know...most of them seem to think that if you want IM right away, you're looking to cyber...which may not be the case but like I said, I've heard this from many women.

And yeah...nothing beats a sexy woman with confidence.


As far as internet dating being disastrous...yeah, if you're not careful it can be...I've heard horror stories and even when I was a mod, I had some women that made life hell for me by thinking something was there that really wasn't...(there's alot of nuts out there!)...but that's a different story.

I do have a positive story about internet dating as I did meet someone online quite by accident...not really looking...I have met her in real life as well and she is really something special. We were online friends for over a year but then things changed for me at home and we eventually became more than friends. She has really had a positive influence on me and I'm thankful to have met her.

I know i'm not here as often as usual, work is always so busy which is why i come here in spurts. But i'd love for you to drop a friend request or post your page on this msg.  I'd rather have friend requests from cool folks i've been knowing for years than some of the weird porno freaks that have been sending me requests lately.

You know, Susan, actually, I think I DID drop a friend request to you several months back, even mentioned how I knew you (well, knew OF you) from the Badmovies forum, but I didn't hear back from ya...

Course, I didn't include the link to my profile here, so maybe you thought I was just randomly messaging anyone with a female name... (which I'd never do..  )

Oh, I don't go all out and try to get a date in the first e-mail or anything like that.
My initial message to them is always very brief. 

What bugs me is that these women are contacting me.
They take the time to use the Myspace search function, look at my page and then send me a friend request.
And when I send them a quick message asking them if they'd like to chat sometime, I never hear from them again.  It's not like I'm asking for their e-mail address or phone number.

I sometimes feel like asking them why the heck they even bothered to add me as a friend in the first place.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when some women play childish games like that.
Most of them usually get deleted from my friends list if they won't talk to me.

[odinn7]

LOL...Ash...what can I say? You and I both know that some women are completely messed up. Maybe their whole idea is to just build up their number of friends, you know?
You never really know what goes on in some peoples minds...and I often wonder if I would really want to know.

I also wasn't suggesting that I think you jump all over them in the first e-mail...I never pictured you for something like that...all I was saying is that suggesting IM or some sort of chat early on may put them off as I have heard that it does.

Keep trying...it will happen. It did for me and I wasn't even looking.

I understand why that'd bug ya, my friend, but hell, you're not going to get much sympathy from me.  Usually when I get girls emailing me out of the blue, they want me to visit their "Website with adult pictures" they continently have linked, and they want to know my credit  card number.

The Top Friends list thing is bugging me.

I've had friends send me an irate message because I moved their position down a couple notches.  WTF is up with that!?
Some people take the Top Friends list seriously!
As if my moving their spot somehow makes them think that I feel differently about them.
They couldn't be further from the truth.

I regularly move my top friends around.  Just to mix it up so it doesn't get boring and so some of my other lesser known friends get a chance to be on top.

How about you?
Ever get grief from friends because you moved them around in your Top Friends list?

[HappyGilmore]

I have one of those Top like, 12 or 16 things, but half are like, bands/entertainers, with the top 8 people I know.  Never had grief over it.

I mean, why be bothered over a top 8 dispute.

[odinn7]

Never had a problem like that but I did have one "friend" who dropped me because...because I didn't answer their comments quick enough.

During the day, i am at work and can't always be checking...so she wrote to me and I responded a bit and then I had to get something done...next thing I know, she was gone...how childish.
