    ok got a "im" from a guy on yahoo(i never go on this i just have it for my photo album), i asked if i knew him/talked to him before he said no and we just chatted for a bit. i made it clear that i had a bf(which i dont) and that i wasnt interested in anything,but a chat. he was fine with this(or so i thought)

    anyway that was about 1month ago and ever now and then i get an "im" from him i never contact him.its always him who "im"'s me. the conversation goes...
    him"hey how are you"
    me"fine and you?"
    him"great"
    me"well i'm in work cant really chat"
    him"ok maybe later "im" me back when your free"

    the other day he asked if i'd meet up with him i said no. he asked why i said i just didn't meet up with ppl of the internet. he then starts freaking out and sending really abusive messages.

    anyway i found this all funny(the only way i dare take it ) but what is the deal with amount of strange people on-line..

    i know alot of my friends(in the real world) as on-line people and they are all the same on and off line...


    my question is this are these strange a$$ people on-line just as strange in the real world or is it just a p!ss take?
    are they syco's or just having a laugh..
    its not a nice thought ...

    I personally think the internet is breading ground for weirdos in all forms, sure it has loads of genuine nice people too. But of course it has the same a$$holes that your gonna find in the real world, and these a$$holes can hide themselves better on the net.

    will you do me a favour?

    will you go to adult learning classes, because you have the literacy of a badly educated 5 year old. seriously.

    if you are going to post up the most nonsensical drivel, can you at least use the english language, instead of whatever esperanto-type language you and the clan use at home?

    wwm, reads fine to me, are you quality control supervisor of boards?

    its not that there is more weirdos online its just that there is better odds of interacting with them online

    infact, the weirdos that can actually use the internet, are less weird than their offline counterparts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    Maybe you draw attention to yourelf with the things you say, such as you sig, or the way you talk about your chest size etc. Not being mean, just suggesting you could give a litlle less information over the net??

    People are strange when you're a stranger
    Faces look ugly when you're alone
    Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
    Streets are uneven when you're down

    When you're strange
    Faces come out of the rain
    When you're strange
    No one remembers your name
    When you're strange
    When you're strange
    When you're strange

    People are strange when you're a stranger
    Faces look ugly when you're alone
    Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
    Streets are uneven when you're down

    When you're strange
    Faces come out of the rain
    When you're strange
    No one remembers your name
    When you're strange
    When you're strange
    When you're strange

    When you're strange
    Faces come out of the rain
    When you're strange
    No one remembers your name
    When you're strange
    When you're strange
    When you're strange


    Just my two cents :)

    the internet has no monopoly on wierdos, but it gives them an anonymous voice, and since by very definition* weirdos are socially inept, it suits them.


    *ok, not dictionary definition...

    Do you go to special hypocrite lessons or was it a natural talent?

    Looking back over some of your posts on boards you come across as a total attention seeker, I'm not saying you are, but the posts give the impression of someone stuck in a rut me who needs to be the centre of attention and uses the net for it. I may be well off though, thats just the impression the posts give. I mean look at your sig!

    In the same way, calling someone a weirdo or asshole over a net posting or IM when you have no idea about them is a bit out of order. Are you telling the full story or just your side? Maybe he was taking the piss out of you. I know I would.

    Spot on. If you don't talk about your boobs or sexual habits to strangers on the internet, they're less likely to send you weird messages. The thing about being attention seeking is that sometimes you'll get bad attention.

    So you post and people get pissed off.

    Is there a trend?

    Perhaps its the contents of your posts.

    I know I read your posts and it doesn't exactly inspire me to think you're a well balanced person with much sense.

    Perhaps try focus on quality rather than quantity and have a good look at yourself and what you are using the internet for before you go throwing rocks at glasshouses.

    I posted a constructive comment. If you don't want to listen, that's fine, but there was nothing wrong with my post.

    Seriously, if you post or say certain things, people are more likely to "stalk" you or send you inappropriate messages.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    ok


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Think of it this way. You walk into a pub and go "ohmygod I've got big boobs, it's great, hahahaha".

    Do you really think you're going to attract nice intelligent conversation that way? No. Some weirdos will come up to you and try to feel you up. The internet is the same, just with words instead of hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan

    no, just the opposite. i care.

    i am just worried that a 21 year old with a daughter who has an open realtionship with an abusive cheating lying boyfriend, is illiterate, and loves dicussing sex, has a sig asking to be fúcked, and loves to tell the world about her tits, may not have the sense to keep away from strange people on the internet.

    no honey. i care too much.

    but then again, i think i know you :)

    The prosecution rests your honour.

    she did say she didn't reply and refused to meet up. So she obviously does have the sense to keep away form strange people.

    Yeah but you kinda wonder how much she led the guy on first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    certain people here seem to have an opinion of me which is fine. seriously, all i was doing when i started this topic at first was talking about something that had happened. WWM if you want to constantly throw my mistakes back in my face, fine go for it. I'll PM you a list of more stuff you can play with.
    now this thread seems to have gone somewhere else...compleetly

    you've got the wrong end of the stick..... the ridiculous question posed was " OMG, are there weird people on the internet???? I'm Shocked!!!"

    navel gazing idiocy and mock outrage and incredulity, is what pissed me off. the world and its mother knows there are weirdo's on the net. Let me put it to you this way... there's a pattern to these posts.

    So now you're saying now you said youwould meet up with him.

    Sounds like you used him to get your kicks and boost your ego and it pissed him off.

    Perhaps if you stopped using peoples emotions to make yourself feel good you'd get less grief.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    And the moral of the story is; If someone on the intarnets who you've never heard of before strikes up a conversation with you from out of nowhere... they're weird, put them on ignore.
    For me, everyone on the net is a smelly weird old man until proven otherwise... although it's a bit hard to prove otherwise if you're not into meeting strange old men you meet on the interwebs... but no loss either way tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭tinkerbell


    Well if you're wondering how you attracted this "weirdo" in the first place - why did you bother to reply to him? And why didn't you just put the guy on ignore. Yes, there are gonna be a small % of weirdos on the net, but you just have to learn to ignore them.

    And maybe asking yourself what kind of stuff ye did talk about to lead him onto this crazy act of going nuts when you said you wouldn't meet up with him. If you have the same attitude as you have on IM as you have here (e.g. your signature), then tiz your own fault girl.
