Because as the picture says, they crave attention.

Is there any reason why some people insist on playing hip hop music from their cars so loud that you feel the beating from a completely separate car? With your windows closed?

Simple, they just want attention.

A car is so small you need a very small sub woofer to actually feel the right effect. Anything bigger and it only feels outside the car because the vehicle itself becomes a sub woofer enclosure.

A.K.A. Bigger not only isn't better, but it's actually much worse.


Edit > Well, that's if it actually is the sub woofer effect. If it's the speakers they will be deaf soon enough anyway. <_<;

Ahahahahahahaa....

I just think it that they can't even hear the music so they gotta make it loud. I just yell at people like that when I see them.

"DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE WITH YOUR PURCHASE!?" I so want to do that to see their face. I'll just say that I thought they couldn't hear well because they had their music so loud.

Okay so I feel like now's a good time to write a progress report on the online dating thing.

So far, I've had a few people who appear at least moderately interested in me. Right now though, I'm still like, so super intimidated to make any moves. I guess if I really see someone who interests me I'll take the leap, but for now I'm wondering if I'm being stupid for not responding to guys who "kinda" interest me. I mean, looking back on like 75% of the people I dated, I would have never thought before I got with them that I'd ever actually get with them. So a lot of this is probably actually taking the step to meeting someone. I've updated my profile a dozen times now and I'm going to get a few more photos on there.

So I guess the best advice is to kind of just jump in with both feet? I never know if I don't try, etc.? It's intimidating to make a move on a total stranger, but hell, wouldn't I do the same thing at a club? So I guess at least this way I can kind of see if they're a douche before I enter into the whole thing.

Kind of amazing, there are so many different guys just in the Tampa Bay area and it's hard to believe because this area seems so small to me, I guess because I only interact with about twenty people on the regular.

Yeah, Aks, you need to email with some guys your interested in. If you are really interested in them, give them your number. Then you talk with them no the phone and really feel them out. If you are still interested in them, agree to drinks or something. I wouldn't do dinner though, because if they suck, you're stuck with them for the whole dinner, unless, you really are that in to them.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Yeah right now I'm just so nervous about it, just intimidated. It's hard to make the first move! But I know I'll have to if I really want to find someone. I've only been on the site for like four days now, so I'm not trying to rush it.

Also, for some reason I get e-mails that seem to be "form" e-mails from people, they basically just scour the site for people they haven't e-mailed yet and send a "blah blah blah this is me" e-mail that seems to almost be copypasta from their profile - in one case it actually was. I have nothing against getting e-mails but as of yet, no one has sent me a personalized message. I'm not even going to dignify those with responses because I feel that if they're interested, they'll take the time to write me something real and personal and not just copypasta.

Does that seem to be the case a lot? I've only gotten a couple of these but it was enough to be an instant turn off. If you're interested, pick out something on my profile and tell me why you thought that was cool. Ask me about it. Don't just send me a form letter. It's not a job resume.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Agreed, that's what I would do. I'd find something on the profile I was interested in, point it out, tell a quick story or show my relation to it, and then ask them to write back if they're interested in taking more.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Okay I just don't want to feel like I'm being too picky, I mean it's right to be picky but I'm not going into this thinking that I'm going to weed everyone out and that the first person I meet is going to be "the one."
