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!
They charge $5 a month and the system is this:

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

Lonely people should stop wollowing in self pity and get out and meet people! Life's to short to be shy!

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
meeting a person you want to spend years with, is not as easy as it used to be when I were a lad it's got a lot harder lately and in fact some of these youngsters seem to need tips on it nowadays

Yeh and if they had any will power they could do something about it. They obviously don't want it bad enough.

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."
okay, I'm not that shy, I'm just not outgoing.
But, haha, yeah, I had to kill my shyness. especially when there's this girl I liked...
did you need to know that? no.

Which is my point exactly. Something gave you the drive and the will to get over it, and you did. Nice one... so take no and learn shy ones
