Question for all you ST posters

[mavs>spurs]

justify? I know your ego is large but why on earth would you assume I would feel a need to justify anything to you? Since when do I give a flying what you would think?

Yeah, I'm sure you're just the same IRL as you are on here. I'm sure IRL you act like you're different race and I'm sure your name changes every other week.

I did meet Jekka online though. It was one of those myspace like sites back in the day (friendster) and we met up to hang out one day, became friends, dated, etc etc. You are MORE than welcome to think me weird for that, but I'm pretty damn satisfied and very happy I met her.

Bingo, I knew it haha.

I don't have to justify to you, but here's 2 paragraphs about online dating...

[MannyIsGod]

I've lurked on those sites before out of curiosity and 99% of the women on there look wild and promiscuous. Women have it made, they don't have to do anything to get all kinds of attention from guys. Any girl who's worth it has so many suitors trying to get with her that she doesn't have time to look online.

Oh well , with that flawless logic who can argue? Hot smart successful women open to meeting someone online? Obviously ed up because they have plenty of people hitting on them elsewhere. Nevermind if those people don't meet their standards!

I go back to the original post I made in this thread. Do some of you realize how stupid the you say is?

[Reck]

depends how you meet, and how much it reeks of desperation. meeting someone on a messageboard or dating site is really really weird to me and you'd have to go out of your way in order to find out what the person even looked like, where they're from, and arrange a meeting.

now if its like say, you add some chick on facebook who you have a few friends in common with, talk to her and flirt a bit then exchange numbers and meet up that might not be as weird.

but for just about anything else, just check out some of those dating websites if you're wondering what weird and desperate looks like. i guess it's all about your intention when you go online: if you're going online with the intention of finding a girlfriend, you're probably a loser. if you just randomly happen to meet someone on facebook (not while internet hunting for girls) it could be a bit different i guess. even i've done that before, but we always had someone in common.

Is not at all wierd.

Sometimes, people just click.

You develope a friendship, than become good e-friends or whatever than you or her asks for your AIM than your name and so on.

What's so wierd about that? Question is, how far do you want to take it.

Anyway, this sport (Basketball) is a little different in that not alot of females are into it let alone register on boards (As far as I know) so you dont encounter alot of them.

The one baseball forum I used to go to had alot of female posters in, some probably really dudes acting and the ones that really are girls are possibly ugly and fat but the point I'm trying to make is that it is different than basketball boards where almost everyone who frequents it is a dude.

I don't have to justify to you, but here's 2 paragraphs about online dating...

Obviously, me typing to you immediately means I'm trying to justify something and looking for your approval. My life is simply not complete without it and I hope those two paragraphs help me get it.

[mavs>spurs]

The only thing stupid is your acting like online dating isn't for losers and freaks. Seriously bro, you can't just meet people in real life? Why do you think the internet is the place where all the people who "meet standards" as you put it go instead of being out in the real world? Because it's the opposite.

[MannyIsGod]

Do you really have to say it? , from the tone of your posts you seem to be a proponent of online dating. I don't need reading comprehension when you sound pretty polarizing in the posts you direct to me.

You said it has no basis in reality...it does to me. I'd rather meet people in person than online. But if I had to resort to meeting people online, I'd go for that.

The scenario you give in the last sentence is a "no " type of thing. Like I said, I understand why people would date online. Kori and timvp are a prime example of how it can be successful.

Also, you don't seem to understand that I don't care if you share my views on this. I simply think you're view is stupid. If you want to hold a stupid view, that's fine with me.

I'd be ashamed to tell my mother that I met my future wife/her future daughter in law on the ing internet crofl crofl. She'd probably look at me like wtf?

Nope, can't meet people in real life. Too emotionally and socially crippled. Thats why I go online to make up fake personalities and numerous names on sports message boards. Thats why when I get banned on those boards, I email, IM, PM, and all out try to contact the mods on those boards to let me back.

Oh wait. , n/m.

Of course you'd be ashamed. You're mentally weak as . You didn't need to spell that out man. We've known that for years.

^half of that stuff is make believe. i post on this site because it's a fun time waster while you're in class or at the computer doing homework, looking things up, etc. NOT to meet women lmfao.

@ Mr. Ashamed trying to act like anyone else is looking for justification on something.

Don't judge me

One of us is on the internet playing make believe while feeling full of shame.

The other one has been in a relationship with a hot smart woman for 8+ years.

Mommy issues

I've seen your girl she isn't hot bro. Just your average SA .

What makes you think I'm playing make believe? I've met some posters off here before who can vouche for me, I've got nothing to hide. I'm the same person on here as I am in real life and I'd tell you what an idiot your are for endorsing the internet as the way to meet women too.

The only one feeling shame is you, having to defend the last 8 years of your life to people on the internet.

Normal people take real life and their parents more seriously than they do the internets..it's not everyday you meet someone like you who does it vice versa. Internets is serious business to you huh? Meeting your future wife on there, and all your friends too. Going to "Spurstalk GTGs" to make friends.

Normal people want to make their mom proud, what kind of weirdo are you? Your mom is probably ashamed of you, hence this whole "I don't care what you think or what my mommy thinks either!" route.

No really, I don't have Mommy issues. I'm normal!

[mavs>spurs]

Justification! derp derp! but teh JUSTIFICATIONNNNNN!!!

Is this how you deflect from meeting your future wife on the ing internet? loser

[MannyIsGod]

Hey M>S, you may not start a relationship on the internet but I pretty much just reemed your ass on the internet. Don't tell your Mommy.

[TE]

Don't try to rewrite history. You said you'd have trouble taking a relationship seriously if you met someone online. You didn't say "I'd rather meet someone IRL". Not only does your reading comprehension suck, so do your communication skills.

I wouldn't take it seriously at first, but if the relationship was very successful, my opinion on online dating would change. Where the am I trying to rewrite history here?

You're using the world polarizing wrong. Polarizing in that context is used to describe something that pushes people toward two sides (IE - two poles) such as Abortion. How does that make sense in the way you used it? How can I sound polarizing to you?

Polarizing (one-sided) as in giving me your opinion about my dating preference and calling it stupid, while attacking it. I'm sure your little rhetorical e-buddies will come in here and attempt to give me , but it, I don't take this message board as seriously as you and others. I used polarizing because your opinions are polarizing. Pretty much everything about you and your opinions on this site (topics other than this one) are polarizing.

This whole "had to resort" argument is stupid. Do you limit yourself to ONE place or one method of meeting people? If you're open to meeting someone online does that mean you all of a sudden mean you can't go out and meet people? Does it mean that you can't ask that hot girl in your class out? Does it mean you can't talk to some hot girl you see walking around?

As it stands, I use one method to meet people. I introduce myself to others face-to-face, and I am myself. I don't need to go extra measures to find an appealing partner to date.

The whole idea that the relationship is somehow changed because you first encountered someone on the internet is beyond stupid. Girl of my dreams? Doesn't matter, I met her on the internet. THAT is exactly what you said.

Admittingly, I have an ego when it relates to where I meet my woman. I feel like I don't need to go extra measures to date though I understand why people would do it (your other post gives reasonable reasons as to why).
