Alot of pople on line are immature. I have not met pepole that I can talk to more than once, why is that?

So, and in agreeing with your experiences because I find them to be true many times in this web based world, I believe the first thing is to establish right up front that two people actually have some common ground in interests. If so, then seems to me two relatively intelligent and mature adults should be able to sustain some kind of reasonable friendship simply based on those common interests. I'm reasonably intelligent, articulate and enjoy making new friends and finding out how the rest of the world lives and thinks. How about you ?

Seek out Yahoo, MSN , IRC messengers and chatrooms and since there are numerous users online you will have a good opportunity to seek out a chat friend with ur specific interests. But ofcourse this may take some time since you may have to distinguish the chaff from the grain in the pest infested chat rooms. Happy chatting

It is hard because of the format. Try the chat room and yahoo! groups to find someone to talk to.

I'm blunt, honest, open and sometimes sarcastic on here and in real life, however I always get my point across in a respectful manner. Of course it's so easy for kids to act all big and bad on here because they can remain anonymous and hide behind their computer screens. 9 times out of 10 they wont pull that immature crap in real life. I've seen some pretty ignorant "adults" on here too. :-&#92;

Sometimes you go lose your connection with your isp and they may be trying to log back on, but you think they are just not answering you...why don't you just ask this person what happened and if they don't answer you again I would find new people to talk to. Hope that helps!

join a yahoo chat room. talk to new people and eventually friendships will evolve. It is easy and very exciting to do this when your getting new friends online. Many will be on your friends list if your respectable and mature.

I agree.  The filters aren't going to help much, as you have probably seen there are ways around that.  I suggest something like they do with chat, go by the age on the account then shoot it to one area that is for underage only and moderated.  That is how they did chat when they had the adult only rooms.  It would work here as well.

Because people are dumb and stupid. They are bored and having nothing better to do in their lives then sit online and pick fights with people they don't know. And then they make the rest of us who are trying to find out answers to real questions fustrated and mad:) They are dumb.

satan, what's up with the pointless questions? it seems to me that what you're really lacking are friends, not answers. try a chat room, buddy.

Some people don't have the time. Maybe they've changed there mind about e-mailing you. Some people are busy e-mailing other people. People have their own topics to talk about, and if yours not interesting enough then they don't want to talk back. Or another thing, they could be acting funny, or playing games. It's all in who you give your e-mail to. Some people don't like to write all the time, they are phone talkers. I hope i've helped you.

I don't know.  Maybe they're intimidated by your syntax and spelling, but as you never have a chance to meet them except over the Internet, you haven't yet had an opportunity to show them what an eloquent and thoughtful guy you really are.

The web is full of all kinds of people. Some are intelligent, some mature. Some are just plain bored and spend a lot of time here. Chat rooms are mostly nonsense but now and then you can find an informative one. For the most intellegent and mature places, try forums or posting boards. They aren't discussions in a timely manner, but they are full of good information (within reason).

Because this is not that type of forum... Go to a chat room and find someone to chat with..

I think that most of the people on here are younger(you can tell by their spelling, grammar, and questions) and they think that they can get people to chat or send e-mails. I think they are a little dumb, but then look at me I'm on here too answering away. How smart does that make me?

In regards to the last answer. There are guys here that are looking for the same. In some ways this is the only way they can get the courage to talk to others. I can reconmend eharmony.com is a good way to go. Surely you can find an interest there. Not all people are bad. But you can tell by the ones who's talking more than they should. ;-)

With so much going on on the Internet now days it's hard not to form strong bonds with people you've met or even only known on line. Meeting people on line is interesting. There are some that see the Internet as a media to be whomever they've always wanted to be. Others use the Internet to truly be themselves, either way talking to people on line seems to be without the barriers that you find in the real world..which understandably leads to strong feelings at times. Unfortunately I've found that heartbreak on line is just as common if not more so than heartbreak in the real world.
