Many times the OP is fishing. JMO I'm sorry to quote you twice today, I promise I'm not stalking you. But you are correct, IMO. Human behavior is interesting. |

true... i even posted one and i think one person responded with who they liked,well that may have been the only response but you know what i mean 
I remember one that went on for about 46 pages and there were (I think) TWO actual posts where someone named a person they liked. And the rest were "I don't want to leave anyone out" or "They know!" or one of the smileys with no text. There are days I just want to make a post asking if anybody ever talked to that yummy Lyndsey girl who sits behind Jimmy in U.S. History....

I've learned that if I am interested in someone the threads would not be the place to announce it. Anyway, if you have enough gumption to say it out on the threads, why not e-mail? Those threads are only about informing other members that somebody likes me. Many times the OP is fishing. JMO Yeah, but then we get a break from "nice guys" and "Why are all men pigs" threads for a few minutes. |

There are all sorts of people whose posts I read with interest, either from an education standpoint and/or one of humour: Dan99, PinkLady, Heathersaygobucks, lillith and lily, waterloosunset, talldub, geniusboy, etrain, rskit, singmesweet, mr_music. You LIKE me! You REALLY LIKE me! 
Yeah but she likes me more! haha I think the 'who do you like?' threads are lame for the same reasons already mentioned. But also because i dont really care who likes who. Plus its none of my business. ..and this guy (Dan99), whether he cares or not...is one of the reasons I'm still around

So, every once in awhile somebody makes a thread that asks, "Who on Mingle really gets your sauce cookin'?" or some sort of inherently flawed metaphor/euphemism that might have actually seemed original back in 1322 A.D., but only because the word "Mingle' hadn't been invented yet.* Anyway, my point is that whenever someone asks this kind of question, there are immediately 671 posts all saying basically the same thing: "There are too many to mention, and I don't want to leave anybody out." Pshaw, I say. Or: "Well, there is someone but I don't want to name names." Or "They know who they are." Of COURSE they know who they are. That's not the issue. The issue is that the REST OF US don't know who they are, so why not just bite the bullet and SPILL, already? Come on now, Lex. Being a cynic, you already know the answer to that question. It's because the ones who say that are... 1) Afraid of the sentiment not being reciprocated 2) Still waiting for the other shoe to drop if they HAVE already let that person know. |

OK, but I'm really just trying to pry into everybody's business. Or fishing. Or making a sandwich. Or something. But I have occasionally been named in some of those threads (although generally very obtusely) and that makes no sense to me, either. Is it because I'm cynical? Is it because my sandwich isn't done? Is my sandwich not done because I can't find the bread? OK, this could be a new topic. |

The woman I have been seeing for the last month or so has been named elsewhere. I just wouldn't name her in one of those threads. ;-) |

I should probably poke some buttons.
How about a thread for poking those sensitive buttons? You are... Fat Loser Old Perverted Too Ignorant about Reality to be Genuinely Stupid Retro-Abort Yourself if You're Pro Abortion Opinionated Without Learning DemocratiCommiEgotisticaLiberal I can go back to the TIME OUT room, and burn some matches, for incense.

I just wouldn't name her in one of those threads. ;-) Well, I don't have a problem with that. But here's the part I don't understand -- somebody makes a post, basically asking "Who are you interested in?" Then 5000 people respond to that question without ever answering it. What is the point in posting "I can't tell you" or "There are too many to mention" or or "They already know" -- ??
I mean, there's a question on the table. People could answer it. Instead, they toss off the same kind of lame old tired cliches that seem to turn up in every MM profile I ever read. It's like if you went to a restaurant and said "What's the special today?" and the waitress said, "I can't tell you" or "I think you already know." Those aren't answers.... |

I saw one of those threads, in the poetry forum, expressing love for someone who "knows who this is for"
I replied: Maybe they think that you meant it for somebody else. |
