Did these types of threads ("I am a guy and I wanna chat with women here") ever work?

We should tell him the truth.


It doesn't matter if those threads have worked for other people. He has a right to be honest and reach out in the way he feels most comfortable. Lots of people here have male - female friendships via PM, whether they become romantic or not. I've talked to Leon by PM even though I'm not interested in a romantic relationship so yes it did "work", because he found a friend in me.

I don't want anyone to think they aren't welcome here.


Why is it in L&D then?


Why not? He's being honest. No one has to reply if they don't want to.

Leon, Face of Boo likes putting in funny replies, so I wouldn't consider it too much of a problem. Nobody's hating you for this.

I question why I was born a lot, but due to religion and my sense of adventure it takes on the attitude of a quest or a mighty battle. I'm also something of a crazy idealist.

Now back to your dating thing...yep, it seems odd to put a thread out that just says "bring on the dames" but if I was a lady I might be impressed by your audacity. As I'm a guy I'm impressed that you're going out to look for the ladies first. I don't know what the ladies think--is it brash, or is it attractive?--because, of course, I'm not one.

Hopefully you're getting some replies, even if they're outside the Pacific time zone.

A person wants to feel they're liked for who they are. Although you don't mean it like that, it feels like you're asking, "Anyone, I don't care who, wants to go out with me because you have fancy genitals?"

Hilarious, and appears to sum up any objections that could be raised. Thanks for the tip. :D

Just close this thread. I have had enough embarrassment and beration for one week. It is clear that whatever I say ends up offending or goads people into insulting me, so this thread is of no use.

If I wanted to be a glutton for punishment and get insulted, I would have just attended a meetup instead.

It saddens me that threads are derailed as this one has been. Good luck with your quest, don't give up, there are more sincere replies here than the derailers.

This is a support forum, according to its owner and founder Alex. A few ignore that because they appear to think they have "rights" to derail, flame, mock, and so on. In Love and Dating it tends to be the same few over the years.

This forum suffers from it and I hope that the new year will inspire some posters to try posting in a spirit of goodwill...
