| Topic: Here's What's Wrong With "Who Do You Like" Threads | |

Definitely sounds like topic material to me....lol I will add this. 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. ;-) 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.... Very true. But I have been here long enough to see that an awful lot of people have thousands of posts, but yet, haven't managed to actually SAY anything. They have managed to make a living at being non responsive with their responses. |

I can see being non-committal once in awhile, however you do see people (not just on mingle) that have zero original opinion on anything. I'd almost rather be dead wrong in my convictions in lieu of having no spine. |

Actually, the "your too cute" was the only one I caught. And I only caught that because I was embarrassed....! |

Embarrassed???????? Oh my word! That's even cuter than the sandwich comment! Why in the world would you be embarrassed over someone complimenting you on your words? You should be used to that by now!

Well, usually they just say they're "intimidating." Hey, did you ever notice that "intimidating" ends with "dating"? That could be a new site -- IntimiDating.com. All the girls who actually WANT to be intimidated by writers who can use words of more than one syllable would sign up. Bet I could get a date over there. |

I love your words. Even the ones you make up.

Here's the thing about that. They can compliment my words all day and all night, and it ain't puttin' no Pepsi on the table. Maybe I'd feel better about that if I got more compliments. Hey, it's possible. |

Hey, it's possible. I outed myself on your thread just because it was you. If that's not a compliment, I don't know what is.

Good point. It proves my mission has not been in vain. Doesn't it? I could be totally misreading the whole thing. Anyway, thanks for the outcoming. Oooooh, made up another word.... |

Very true. But I have been here long enough to see that an awful lot of people have thousands of posts, but yet, haven't managed to actually SAY anything. They have managed to make a living at being non responsive with their responses. It's the old "quantity vs. quality" argument. I should talk, with 18,000 posts. Oh well. |

But, having read a bunch of your posts in my time here, you, at least, have something to say a lot of the time. Just because people may not GET it, doesn't mean you don't have something to say.

I cant say that i have seen Lex make too many 'nothing posts'. There is usually some point being made or joke being told.
Some people have 20 gazillion posts but 19 gazillion of them were just smileys, (hugs) or hi's. Why is it people feel the need to say hello in the threads, to EVERYBODY? I dont do hellos. |
