I think that's what he's saying :/ Or that it's somehow an advancement of current flirting/dating techniques, which I fail to see.

But I'll never need an ego boost, so..... yea.

Exactly! Another reason so stay far awaaaay from 2nd floor.

PS- Cheri, I think I saw you a few days ago, but we've never actually met, so I didn't wanna be a creeper and say hi-_-

I'm willing to bet many people will be more inclined to initiate contact through a medium such as this before approaching someone and being "creepy" as the kids call it these days.

The proof is in the pudding ladies and gents:

Nah, it wouldn't be creepy at all. I've already done that with Desda and Doug. Holla next time. xD

Good sample size. One person really represents the whole population.

(Side note: when did meeting people online become less creepy than initiating conversation with a stranger? Apparently I'm way behind the curve because I talked to almost every single person on Saturday night when I went out to a pub in cobourg)

Well then, these people need to work on their social + communication skills! This is different, I do know her, just through other people. Ever heard of networking, meeting new people, etc? And isn't that what university is all about? BUT only if you do it by taking a risk and "being creepy" once in a while and doing it face-to-face, not going and hiding behind some fruit/vegetable name to maintain anonymity.
And if that's your so-called proof, then sure. I agree...

Haha, sounds gooood . I was totally going to, but it was too busy in MUSC, I was waiting for someone and you looked confused/concentrated .

At a pub it is different. And then think of how much time you will save by being able to filter people through the application instead of having to walk up to everyone and ask them twenty questions to see if they are a match. One might argue that this dilutes the mystery involved but I disagree because there is so much more to building a strong attraction in a relationship.

Would you approach everyone and get a feel for where they are and what they want right now at say a library or coffee shop?

I think this website is starting to actually have a tangible effect...

Maybe its just me, but it seems like girls in Mills are dressing a lot nicer now than they were before this came out

That's pretty surprising, since most people don't care what they look like during exams, at least most of the people I know. Haha, and I'm guessing it's extra busy with girls?

Oh well. I'll never be okay with this, so I might as well just accept its existence

How is it different? I was TALKING to these people, not hitting on them. And yes, I do this in my day to day activities too. I know it's hard to believe that someone on the internet knows how to actually maintain a conversation irl, but it's true.

Explain to me how somebody commenting on your appearance on a website "saves time and filters people." If somebody posts "hey you're cute I'm the one in the red shirt over there" and the other person magically happens to see their post and responds with "so are you, come talk to me," then that really doesn't save any time at all or tells you anything more about the person. The only thing it does is saves your ego from actually having to go up to them and possibly be told to your face that they're not interested.

If the person you complimented DOES tell you to come over, are you going to proceed with asking them ONLINE "oh, are you single? How old are you? How many people have you been in a relationship? etc"
No.

All this site is doing is making everyone into bigger puss!es than they already are.

Sorry but I do believe you ignored the essence of my last post. Specifically I am referring to my claim that it saves time and is efficient in so much that you can know where someone is in their life and what they want without having to ask twenty questions.

Well although the saving face is reason enough...

I am talking about this as a general application not the current one in place. If you had a profile, etc. like facebook or myspace then yes filtering would be possible.

That's nice, I'm not talking about some theoretical website with hypothetical features known only to you, I'm talking about likealittle.

How does it save time if the person you wrote about doesn't see it (VERY high chance) or if you don't see what anyone wrote about you, etc. Also, tracking them down is a whole different deal- something the majority of people wouldn't even do. So in reality it's a waste of time, because you get NOWHERE (<-pun intended). Knowing the person.. how? Are you just going to keep posting back and forth HOPING that they'll see it and actually reply. How do you even know that's them?! And like Cheri said, once they see it, are you going to ask them out? Or just asking them random relationship questions which yes, ARE creepy coming from a stranger. I don't tell my life history to people I've just met, not even after 5 times of meeting them or whatever. For all you know this person you're talking to can be anyone at mac pretending to be that person i.e. trolls. As for efficiency, don't get me started! By the way, this is not about just what you're saying, I'm just against the entire concept overall.

I do agree with you about facebook though or myspace, because you're not hiding behind that anonymity and you're being yourself. And through that, people can somewhat actually get to know more about you.

Do you think the internet has worsened your quality of life? Why are you so negative for the future?

And my name is a pun in itself: nowhere = now here
