Meet Internet People

[Pearl Jam]

i've met a handful of people through the internet and they are all confirmed radical dudes

One thing you should keep in mind is to not think of people as being "nerds" or anything like that just before you see them in person. Going into it with that kind of perspective only helps you to start off on the wrong foot.

riiight - that was a bad subspace joke i suppose. ignore it

Sit down children and listen to my story of internet ways.

I knew a girl once, whom I met through the internet. We talked and talked for a year or two and one of us finally decided to meet up, so one summer day I hopped onto a train and rode onwards into Sherwood Forest (You foreigners may know it as Nottingham) unaware of what was to happen at the end. Alas the train stopped and I met this girl I knew, however she was more interested in texting a friend instead of greeting me though. The lively chatting girl that I knew on the net had been replaced by this shy individual. So she whisked me into her arms (well, a bus) and took me to her castle (semi-terraced, grandparents) where I lived for 5 days. I shall not bore you with the details of what transpired, because they sure as hell bored me. However, I will sum it up in 5 words; shopping, tv and no sex. After this brief 'holiday' I returned home, never to see her again. Two years later she is pregnant and living in a council house.

The moral of the story?
1) Never meet someone unless you've known them a long time.
2) The person you meet may not necessarily be the same as the one you knew on the net.
3) I'm sure you can think of others.

did you talk to this girl several times on the phone before this? or at least once or twice?

1) Never meet someone unless youve known them for a while, 6 weeks or more.
2) Pictures of the person
3) Hours of phone time
4) If the phone time shows good connection and reveals personality as much as the phone will allow.

my story is the exact inverse of his. Christen from detroit came to stay with me in mid may, and like disliked, it was also 5 days. she was lively on the phone, and turned out to be filled with life in person. most are too boring and soft-core for me. my few words summery is: went out, did things, was not boring, and plenty of sex. twice i showed her the city of chicago where she has never been. i still talk to her daily on the phone and she is comming back. i did not have any terrible experiences meeting a few other people. i guess the way i am acts as a filter. if you can be a very open, empathic, aware and social person you can meet people online !

All my friends use internet and I use internet daily to communicate with them so what's the big deal? I don't have a friend who doesn't use internet. For all you geeks, I have plenty of friends.

everyone uses the net, we are talking about those who meet someone online first, then decide to anxiously or not meet in person.

But seriously, Tone, we're all computer programs, we don't actually exist, you're the only one who matters in the universe. It's like the Truman show, but on a cosmically larger scale.

perhaps you, zues, and DTF are philosophical zombies. that is, someone who is not conscious and has no ego, only looks and acts as if they do, like a super complex android

No, I think you are just fucking stupid.

Technically I met someone thru Myspace. Well... not directly. My best friend who I know, not from online, he met his girlfriend through friends and myspace hookups, so technically in the end I met that person who was from Myspace via my friend ... if you really wanna stretch it.

Outside of that, nah.

Kick Ass. I'm glad you're able to somewhere, since here you exhibit exactly zero of those traits. Maybe you're just all out by the time you get around here.

My story is the same as disliked's... minus the castle. And Sherwood forest.









And the train.





And the shopping.






And the TV.
