Hello all.
I'm prompted by a conversation I was having with Naisy here yesterday.
Currently most of us struggle to get to even what might be described as a decent conversation with females or couples on the site. The reasons for this are many and varied, but in the spirit of letting all us single males know, I would like to invite couples and females to post their pet loves and hates from the chat rooms and what encourages or discourages them to enter into "quality" chat, or simply what to consider in a particular male (looks apart).
It has been mentioned to me for example (on more than one occasion) that too many males seem to be "in yer face", partly down to the individual I feel but also perhaps due to the highly competitive nature of trying to "be heard"? I commented and Naisy agreed that many single males feel under pressure to come up with immediately witty or outstanding comments within the first couple of sentences of chat or run the risk of being ignored completely. This inevitably leads to more and more outlandish boasting or statements and ever-increasing "quips" and can lead to the frequently seen hostility between single males as they compete to be "head of the herd".
So, in the spirit of greater enlightenment, over to you all for your comments and pet hates and loves?....
I think some people are using the chatrooms to pull. Their main reason to go there is to find someone to meet, not really to chat.
I have no idea of the percentages, but some couples are not looking for single guys, so those couples may well ignore guys under those circumstances.
My experience of the chatroom has often been that if I chat with a single guy, often they will start pushing for a meet. Usually quite early on. Peronsally this can get a bit tiring.
From my own experience I have had one single guy go a bit postal on us when we didn't accept his advances. He even complained about us to the ops which resulted in us being banned from the site. It took us a couple of days to have our account reinstated by admin and the ban revoked. (it was the weekend) After that I decided I would stay well clear of single guys in the chatrooms.
Hello again.
Kind of what I anticipated so far to be honest.
Some people do not realise the effect of the "comments" they make, and others simply do not care.
I must admit to having come out with the odd stupid comment myself, but I never intend to offend, just to have a laugh with the person involved. Unfortuantely you cannot tell from typing, what the state of mind of the individual at the other end is?
Keep your comments coming though...

It seems that there is consensus on what we would like to happen and see.
Personally I love a good chat, the more humerous the better (must admit I get bored rigid by talk of the weather and mundane things like that) but I love a good bit of banter. I think it's excellent when fems in particular join in with the banter as it helps to keep the peace to a large degree? A womans influenece and all that?
I find that the best method for me in using the chatrooms is to spend a little time in differing rooms, having 10/15 mins of good conversation and catching up, then moving on? The danger otherwise is that the conversation becomes stale and lifeless for most parties?
Like my morning constitutional, I think regular movement is the key? :shock:
Always lovely to see you in here ranting Marya and as you say the winners are the guys and couples with humour, confidence and a general interest in you and what you are saying. They are also usually the guys who actually get to meet single females and couples.
I love the banter and hate the conversations you have just described. As was said earlier would they say that your face if you were standing in front of them??? I know there is a level of bravado in the chatrooms and thats great for shy people but we all like conversation in the rooms too.
Corrie xxxx
as well as all of the above, especially NN and Marya
there is also the be a nice guy in chat room, get your msn turn into total arsehole immediately wanting to cam, pushing for meets, first words out of mouth are so what do you like doing, that drives me mad
i will tell you or let you find out what i like doing if, and when i decide you are not a complete wanker and i will meet you.
from then on everytime they see you online, you are pounced on, 'so when we meeting' keep this up mate and try never.
i finally gave into a guy who has pestered me for a year, who is a total nob in chat and by text but is ok when you chat on phone
god i could go on will shut up now
Something I find extremely annoying is when the guy speaks only to the female half of the couple and makes no attempt to interact with the guy who's wife/partner he wants to meet/shag..
