Roughly how many people do you think you've heard say that? 5? 50? 500? And where are you seeing said people say such things? Keep in mind that even if you've heard personal accounts of 10,000 people saying they aren't "that type", that's only roughly .014% of the people on Myspace. And while the type of user that you describe certainly exists, I would hazard a guess that there are far more people that don't fit that stereotype than do.

I'm only defending it because I'm one of the people who doesn't feel like they're "that type"; I have only one person on there who I haven't met in real life, though I've known her for years from playing video games (and she's about to be removed due to her comments in this thread!). I've also caught up with several people that I hadn't seen or heard from in 5 or 10 years.

It's got the private messaging features of a message board like this one without limiting them to a specialized video game-centric site, the ability to find contact information for people you may have lost touch with (such as Classmates.com or one of those types of pay sites), I've been turned onto several musicians that I was unfamiliar with before someone I knew had a song embedded or a link to the artist's page, and I'm sure there are more uses that aren't readily available at the top of my head.

I don't know, it seems like a pretty decent resource to me...

Sylvus-

I was referring more to the fact that when I hear someone mention myspace to me in person, or even online, there's always a negative tone that goes with it.

"Do you use myspace?"
"*Sigh*, yeah, I do." or "Yeah but I don't do XYZ on it"

Clearly the site has some sort of reputation.

It's got the private messaging features of a message board like this one without limiting them to a specialized video game-centric site, the ability to find contact information for people you may have lost touch with (such as Classmates.com or one of those types of pay sites), I've been turned onto several musicians that I was unfamiliar with before someone I knew had a song embedded or a link to the artist's page, and I'm sure there are more uses that aren't readily available at the top of my head.

Refer to one of my previous messages - I stated that it has ton of benefits. I completely agree with you, these are GREAT features on the site, but at the same time there seem to be many negatives that bog down these benefits, mainly due to the users on the site, not the site itself. If you use the site legitimately, as you seem to, then more power to you my friend. I think it's great that you have quite a resource. But to the friend whoring 14 year olds that comment with hearts on every myspace page they see - what the hell?

hey lets b frends lol u seem vry nice

hugs and kisses xoxoxo

It's like the idea of sorting through a stocking filled with human feces in order to pull out a hundred dollar bill. In this case, to me at least, the money is about tree fiddy, and I'm not going to stick my hand in shit for that.

I have been reading the forums on myspace and trying to figure out how to make one of the couple of mp3 players that people have designed work, but its really complicated and I got frustrated with it last night.

If you can figure those out, and host an mp3 somewhere (I found a free site with 500mb storage) you can have an mp3 player on your page with as many songs in it as you want.

Using the default single song mp3 player that is on your page, if you go into edit profile, and click on profile songs or whatever the tab is, there is a box you can uncheck so that the song you have will not start up automatically.

I just removed the myspace player and set up the XSPF Web Music Player on my page. Was pretty easy to do, and now I can put a playlist of my own songs up there. All you need is an easily-created spiff playlist and some webspace to hold your mp3 files.

You can even set whether or not to autoload/play your playlist. I chose the annoying faggot route.

Mini rant here. Am I the only one that finds it incredibly creepy when guys comment on girls photos with shit like that? That's of course tame as hell, usually it's stuff like "Damn girl, wish I could suck on those". It goes right up there with the webcam pics of guys with no shirts on, what did you just finish jerking off or something?

Creepy fucks!

Lmao. There is nothing wrong with giving women compliments, regardless of the venue. Does the fact that it's on a board make it less appropriate than in person, on the phone, or even on pm? It is no more creepy than say... getting freaked out when other people do it.

I think the reason there is a misunderstanding here is that a fair amount of people here on these boards are too busy worrying about a computer game, or what tv they are buying next, or whether the 360 or the PS3 are going to be better, to concern themselves with women, and further yet, hitting on them.

Poorly developed insult. I thought you were done with this board? Addict?

Yeah, you're right on man. None of us - especially not the fathers and married men, know what the fuck a woman is. Get a clue.

I think it's something along the lines of catcalls from construction workers when a woman passes by. There are times when compliments as crude as that are not appropriate.

Since when does "a fair amount" mean none. Save your rabid responses to everything I say, your opinion couldn't possibly mean any less to me-especially considering that everything you have ever said to me is some form of poorly formed insult, most of the time with no basis.

I think a fair amount of people on this forum are in either a commited relationship or married.

I haven't been concerned about women or hitting on women for more than 15 years. Coincidentally, that's exactly how I met most of the women I have had relationships with in my life.

I think I'm confused as to what you are trying to say. I thought the conversation was about the choice of words, not the choice of women. Does calling a woman "hottie" automatically designate either the guy as creepy or the woman as a slut in your mind?

I'm just completely thrown off by the phrase "pick up a whore off the street" and I don't understand the relevance to this discussion.

I must have missed the part where I was complaining about people picking on me or anything of the sort, and you must have missed your fucking meds this morning. You shouldn't do that, you are a lot more enjoyable otherwise.
