Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Do any of you think post great awakening dating will change? I am happily married but feel sympathy for our single frogs
For example, do you think looks over everything dating and swipe culture will disappear then?
My wife could have been a 1/10 and it is how great even our very first chat went that told me she was the one
I don't think even if I was promised dinner with Trump and finding out who Q actually Is, I could even hold Lizzo's paw. Not a pleasant thought
i hope so.
older "chatrooms" on irc or aol or whatever gave you an opportunity to watch people play in the sandbox and go "oh that one seems funny and cool" or "yikes" without having to chat privately or trade pics or give info that maybe you shouldnt.
i don't want to sit there and talk one on one with 50 people. especially not in light of where these conversations usually go. i havent met anyone off an app in years and just fell back on what we did before we had an internet: friends of friends, introductions, or go out in public.
i think what did me in two years ago were former friends who would scream that i dont care about grandma and im a sociopathic monster who doesnt care about anyones health if im not masked and boosted........ as they go meet their third online hookup conquest of the day or the week ...
My first thought is I doubt me or my husband would have given each other a second look if we were not at least cute (not beautiful). I think that's just the mindset of an 18 to twenty something mind. However it takes more than good looks to make a relationship work.
Hopefully things will change for the better. Kids today have such a false narrative about what's acceptable for themselves and a mate. They have so many celebrities they look up to and it's all a lie. It's up to the parents to set an example of reality vs fantasy. Kinda hard to do when the parents have idols themselves, from over paid sports athletes to musicians and celebrities.
I've had a lot going apologizes it's taken me so long to reply. I love your spunk😀 unfortunately I missed your reply. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your weekend.
Definitely.
