hey im not sure whether this is the right area to post this , hope it is hehe , was just asking really for tips on how to get involved in the chatroom when you dont really know anyone , it seems hard to get to talk to people as messages keep flying in and its hard to get noticed , also another quick question do people use the same nick names from in here , in there? thanks would really appreciate the help joey xxxxxx
I just cannot get into the swing of the chatroom at all!!....Its so fast paced and you often get ignored while everyone who knows each other are chatting away.
It would be nice if someone could make an effort to welcome the newer chatters to help them become more involved!
Depends what you go in the chatroom for .
If its to get a quick shag good luck.
Id say just go in to chat to get to know whos who.
Say your only looking to chat unless you get someone pming you lol thats diffrent.
I dont go in much i just get asked ASL i know its one way to meet people but id rather do that in the forum or munches socials ect weeds out the weirdos if i go in the chatromm i just want to chat not be chatted up lol but thats me everyones diffrent
Greetings Dune
thanx for tip I have tried that but will try again mayb being thick.
Joey,
don't know if this helps, but it kind of works for me.
Remember the chatroom has a different dynamic than to the forum. It is fast and furious and a lot of the "regulars" in chat know each other very well. Either from spending so much time in the chatroom or from SH meetings. This DOESN'T mean you aren't welcome, you just have to be aware you are entering a gang of established friends. Sit back and watch for a while, you'll start to notice a regular style from certain people, common piss-takes, jokes running over the course of hours or days or even months....
The last thing you want to do is think of the chatroom as a place to get a shag. Doesn't mean you wont, but if you think thats what the chatroom is, you'll be sorely disappointed.
In chat, like on here, people get to know your character. If you are a desperate single male gagging to only talk sex and looking for only women to chat to, you'll come across as a .... erm.... desperate single male. And that's not very interesting or attractive.
When you have sat back for a while, and sussed out a bit about the place, just join in. BUT simply be yourself. Reply as you would in real life. What you post may get lost in the hubbub of the screen. So what? It's a throw away line and you aren't going to worry about it, are you? It happens all the time to regulars too. Then when someone says something you feel you can reply to, add your tuppence worth. You may get a laugh or you may not. You may get a reply. Then just mellow out, if the conversation develops, fine. If not, just join in on the next thing you think you can add to.
Imagine it as a party where everyone is mingling... you'll have people joining and leaving the conversation all the time. No big deal. You'll mingle too....
The best advice I can give, other than don't treat it like an easy-shag chatroom. Is NEVER ask to pm a female. NEVER. (unless you know them very very very well and have met them in real life) Females in chat get pm's from idiots all the time. If they want to talk to you in private they'll ask YOU.
Have fun Joey.

The more you go in the chatroom the easier it will become as well, the speed does take a while to adjust too but it will come bit by bit.
