It's made my butt flatter, my legs atrophied, my fingertips calloused, and my brain fried.

But it's FUN!

what Other than the obvious “I met someone…” (it IS a “dating” site), what else has this site done for you? spock

think E.g.:
- Helped you open up more to others
- Validated your opinions on something
- Helped you be a better debater
- Opened your mind to other ways of thinking or feeling
- etc…



It has given me insight to the minds of many I normally would not associate myself with or generally would not be likely to meet (location, interests, circumstances) even if wanted.

Maybe it has provided a touch of reflection... 20 years old and on Mingle. Kind of depressing along with the rest of my life.


That's a very good question.

I thought I had made some friends here, and in a couple of cases, I have. Very good friends.

But, on the other hand, when I was forced to go away for a month or so ( not because of a suspension..I moved and couldn't get internet service right away ) 90% of the people who I thought were friends...

Well...let's just say that no one thought to try to find out if I was even alive.

I guess, the best I can say is that this site gives me a place to vent, make smart *** posts, answer a few people's questions ( although even that is dying a slow painful death at this point ) and keep myself from going out of my mind ( what's left of it ) from sheer boredom.


Sheer boredom... indeed, indeed. That 90% you talking about, been there and back twenty times over. There are definitely a lot more good people here than 'in the real world' (NO NOT THE SHOW! >_<).

I have met many wonderful friends and become more open to the idea of meeting someone that isn't so close to me that I could just drive over to their house and hang out.

I'm no longer on the site because I'm looking for that special someone, even though I haven't found them, I am still here because of all the friends I have made and so I can stay in touch with them. Yes, I have gone off site with some of them and we stay in touch that way but it isn't the same as seeing the poetry they post or playing in the games with them. Don't get me wrong, I love all the phone calls and emails but the fun is here to be had and I enjoy it very much.

This place has also given me an outlet for emotions that I don't know what to do with and it's better than seeing a shrink!! I write poetry and through that I've learned a lot about myself and the people that are here. Being here has helped me rediscover myself.

Thanks for this thread!!
