I'm talking about communication that's all!
As adults in the world of communications I wonder what's going on?
Shhhhhhhhhhh.....don't talk to me! Don't take a chance on typing a word it may just be taken the wrong way.
What's up with this?

I thought as we grew older we would love to talk to others to get there minds moving but I can really say that the one guy on this site was right. You can't say much if there isn't much coming back. It's a one way street, and all you hear is "Busy life, busy!" Then why would you even post at M2.com?
I'm not having problems meeting people on here but they all think I should be their entertainment to make their day. Mostly takers and no giving back. What's up with that?

Welcome to the world of free online dating...so what do you expect back?

I have not seen this...but then I am in the forums all the time and put myself out there and speak to people...sometimes not a good idea, but hey...I meet people, talk to people and have had no problem making friends....it's all a matter of putting yourself out there and allowing others to get to know you

Hey, Ill be glad to talk to you any time, really I enjoy good conversation!

Ditto. I think that adults now days have a different view on things then when we grew up. A lot don't know what being a parent is, or being held for your actions, or how to handle situations when they come up and their is no one to tell them what to do.

I've been here almost two years, and have seen a considerable amount of the thing you're talking about.

We used to have some people who would constantly post "I'm bored, entertain me!" threads (and usually in the wrong forum) -- there's nothing you can do for those people, best to just ignore them -- hopefully they'll go away and shrivel up into little bored lumps of clay.

On the other hand, there are some truly marvelous conversationalists and writers here. I've been surprised by the level of communications/writing skills I've seen on this site -- both high AND low (and, yes, the ratio is strongly skewed towards the latter!) -- but the good ones are definitely worth getting to know, even if they do live 897,000 miles away.

I kind don't understand what sort of information you're looking for here. People who participate in internet discussion forums are not all doing so for the same reason.



Again, this is so vaguely stated that I'm not sure what you want. Are you saying that you message people wanting to start a dialog, and they just antagonize you? Do you get unsolicited requests to "entertain" someone? Is this just a way of saying that you are one of those (extremely boring) guys that will message a lady and immediately either demand that she turn on her webcam, or start in with a diatribe about how lonely you are? (I hope not!)

It's not like the internet is solely for the use of "all the nice people who are good communicators"--anything but! It's usually more the opposite. Just like in real life, you have to weed through a bunch of jerks before you can find anyone who's really worth your while.

And I'm always up for a good discussion. I mean, you want to talk about something in depth: Bring it on! lol

I am always up for good conversation. Any takers?

It comes from years spent in the Public Education system. You know the place where they teach you to express yourself and communicate freely by telling you to sit down and be quiet every day you go to class.

Not sure what the gripe is here, guess it all depends on where you're seeking these conversations.

Plenty of people online to communicate with and you dont have to be their entertainment, just pick topics that interest you, avoid those that dont. Good luck, bunch of great people on this site, thats why I post on M2

i used to be a member of a different type of forum website a few years back and just loved how different everyone was. you had the ones who were serious and up for conversating and then you had the ones who just loved a good laugh. i was a part of that site for about four years and saw almost every type of person and you just learn which ones are serious about conversating and which ones are just there to waste time. I however love a good conversation or a good laugh :)

I post here because I love it. I've met some fantastic people. It was slow going at first, as there are a constant flux of people who don't stay... and I had to prove I was a fixture.

So I enjoy reading all the posts, and think I don't reply to as many as I could in the ways and means of communication that is appropriate. But after all, recognizing that you have a problem is the first step, right?

And Lexy is right, there are smart and, ummmmm simple posters here. But that is a reflection of the world. I do take umbrage with this being a site of words and feel those who post should be literate. But I'm a yankee snob so that is par for the course of mingle 2 (in my view, 'cus it's all about me, dammit.... )

Sure. What do you want to talk about?

Anything.

..ah man..that's pretty funny...that's why i went to a private school for grad school...

Always
