Social Networking Site Profiles

Post Reply New Topic

Today I IM'd a girl whose AIM screen name was on her MySpace profile. We talked briefly (albeit with it taking over a minute to make a five-word response), and then she asked for my MySpace profile. I obliged, and after that, she completely stopped talking and responding. I've noticed this has happened a lot (not much recently because far fewer women put their screen names up). It's pretty hard to meet women when it's this tough to even get a conversation with them.

maybe get rid of the MySpace thing

You completely missed the point, which is that I am using MySpace (and in the past, other social networking sites like Facebook) to meet women. Obviously after taking a peek at their profile, one should reciprocate with a link to one's own (otherwise it's just plain creepy since you know about them, but they don't know about you).

Have you tried PlentyOfFish? It was designed for that purpose, where as Facebook/mySpace are more geared to networking with people you already know.

I was on PlentyOfFish briefly, and mustered one date from it, but that was about it. Apparently, people on there usually don't care for full-time college students who are older than 22.

The college-age people think anyone older than 22 is creepy, and the ones closer to my age won't date me because I am unemployed due to school. That's why I deleted my account, and why I don't date NTs. Yet available Aspies are in extremely short supply.

OP: I'm not clear exactly what sort of discussion you want to prompt. Anyway, if this is happening as a pattern, you need to work on your profile.

plenty of fish is a waste of time. Tried it a couple times, got lazy, and I just gave up.
