the truth is, that there are a lot of lonely people in this world they have nobody at work and nobody "in their road" either they are told "to go down the pub" or "join a social club" THEY DO SO! or they try for a while and horror of all horrors _ there's nobody for them! What do they do ? well nowadays there are plenty of "modern" schemes to try and an ABUNDANCE of internet 'systems' Delboycoder from Blitzcoder blundered across HOT OR NOT last week hehe I can tell you that I had never heard of it, but because of Delboycoder's intriguing "find" I had a look the site is an amazing "success" run by two bedroom coders from a simple house! you plough through photos of the opposite sex (having selected your region) and VOTE on one that you are attracted to NOTHING HAPPENS! because the system then waits (for ever and a day if necessary) to "see" whether your "chosen person" ever VOTES ON YOU! if they do, then the two of you are "sheperded together" but should ppl be meeting through a system like this? and why couldn't I HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS SCHEME!!!! ------------------ |

It is based on the physical. A person picks which person is most attractive, not which person they like the best *as a person* There is often someone you know that could be your good friend, just don't make judgements based on their gender or age. Seriously, i met a person and got to know a person that i have been in aquaintence with for 8 years. Now we are pretty good friends ------------------ |

quote: D-SIPL easy to say when you're not shy but many lonely ppl are shy and can spend plenty of years missing out on happiness Yes :HOT OR NOT is based on the physical, sure it is but I think if we're honest - so is meeting another person ANYWAY in a bar, a dance hall, a concert, at work etc ------------------ |

Let me wade in with my 2 cents worth. :-) I don't think lasting relationships are based on the physical. I did not think my wife attractive when I met her, I became attracted to her because of who she is, not what she is. Not wanting to sound preachy, I mean, I AM a guy, and a woman who looks like Britney Spears is not repellant to me, but I just think it's less important. Everyone looks lousy when they are 50, so why bother with the temporal. And I was also very shy once, so I know and sympathise with how hard it is for people like that to meet people and make friends. |

Yeah, Beauty's fleeting. Doesn't mean it's bad, but fleeting. don't base everything on it. You're marrying/dating a person, not they're looks. But, being a guy, am in no way saying good looks are bad... But yeah, character and personality are extremely important. No1 is that she needs to be a good christian. Yeah, and us "shy" people prefer the word "cautious." |
