Yea games are another animal altogether. But if you are just sending a message to try to get to know someone, I would think one would want to at least try to make themselves understood. If I can't understand what they are saying, or it is just filled with laziness, I will reply but throw in as many big words as I can think of. Whether it makes sense or not.

Nothing in Waco at all! I go to the Texas thread sometimes but I was really trying to see if anyone was actually close to me. I've been here for years but don't get on much due to a horrible internet connection. I'm willing to bet that there are people close, they just aren't interested in posting.

Anybody near Waco or in the surrounding area or is it just me?

Just making sure because usually you get to know someone before discussing family and all that. Try putting a more positive spin on your profile. My life is crap too but nobody wants to dwell on the bad stuff. Talk about what you have to offer instead of what you don't have.

"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their ***** off)
The oceans and Pangea
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!"

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy)
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

Is there a relationship involved or just the childbearing?

I have been saying this for years! I can't stand when I can't understand people because they are just making up their own abbreviations. I can understand the "common" short hand terms but why make up your own? I got in an argument with an ex one time on yahoo because I asked him something and he said "y"...normally that means the question "why" but he made it stand for "yes" and totally confused me.

The only time I will even come close to short hand is if I am running out of room in a text and only have so many left. But even then I will make it readable.

Welcome, enjoy the forums and have fun getting to know people!

Never have lived with anybody and I get along just fine.

^^^This!

And long winded speakers should be taxed. Maybe they would learn to shut up

Never even gotten a glance from anyone remotely near me. The closest was like 8hrs away. I usually get the ones from the places I can't spell.

I just tell them I am not interested in sexting/cybering and that usually stops them.

Straight to the point is always good.

I constantly update my profile. I have changed it I don't know how many times since I started years ago.

Posting in forums

I've been here for years. Made all kinds of friends. Nobody I am really interested in as far as relationship material, but I am not really sweating it right now. Try messaging people you see in your area. Or like sing said, get in the forums and get to know people.

Mocospace "Near Me" chatroom anytime!

You can have all the ones I get from now on.

Great pics just talk a little bit more about yourself and what you are looking for in a person. Welcome and good luck!

Considering it's been like 5yrs since I have had sex, I probably couldn't control myself for too long. Of course I would want to make sure that there is a possibility of it going somewhere. Not looking to be used, but if it doesn't happen within the first month I would think something was wrong. I've been friend zoned way too many times this way.
