looking to chat

[zysmith]

..
** For convenience, here's a list of all the topics that we've talked about:

1. Have you ever met a lit-ster? No
2. Guys, if you send a PM to a woman, are you really expecting a reply or is it "no biggie" if she doesnt send you a reply? How do you feel? I would like a reply, even if it is "I'm not interested"
3. This probably happens with both sexes, but since I generally chat with guys, my question would be: why do guys lie when they chat online? Anonymity gives them the freedom to be anyone or anything or sometimes they are just jerks.
4. How has your experience on lit been? if you have any particular experience you'd like to share, please do so. Can always find an interesting read, forums are always interesting and occasionally I get an interesting dm although they are few and far between.
5. Since I'm from South East Asia, have you been to this region? I have not
Yes? Please share where you've been and what you liked/disliked about it.
No? Well, if you could, where would you go? Why that destination? Never thought about it, I am not much of a world traveler outside of work
6. whats your best experience from lit? this could be anything from a story (tell us which one); a litster; a voice; a picture; something new you learnt about yourself; .... etc etc. hard to pick one thing, mostly learning more about what makes people tick, food and bad
7. tell me about yourself and what you'd like to chat about. I am ok with chatting about anything, how the day was, what did you have for dinner, or, given the general subject matter of lit, more personal subjects. About me, I am 60+ straight male, professional job, I enjoy movies and good food.
8. have you ever been to a lit gathering? No

Not forgetting: do you have any thoughts/questions to ask If you are interested in chatting I am sure 1 or 2 will come to mind

Hello!

Anonymity gives them the freedom to be anyone or anything or sometimes they are just jerks.

More likely this.

4. hard to pick one thing, mostly learning more about what makes people tick, food and bad

If you are interested in chatting I am sure 1 or 2 will come to mind

Feel free to open a topic here, there are a number of regulars that will participate.

Thanks for posting!

This is interesting coming from a misanthrope.


Lmk!

Nice profile pic btw.

That's the thing about misanthropy. Most people get the definition wrong, or at least in regards to me. I don't hate humanity. Instead I think we (I do include myself in this) are , in general, a bunch of self destructive idiots trying too late to fix the world. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

That being said, I like having meaningful and meaningless conversations and even making friends. It makes life bearable and yet also proves my opinion/theory correct. I'm ok with that though.

Work is going decently. Thank the Gods for night shift.

1. Have you ever met a lit-ster?
If you did, how did it go?
Not yet
If you havent, would you?
Probably, depends on time and availablity.
2. Guys, if you send a PM to a woman, are you really expecting a reply or is it "no biggie" if she doesnt send you a reply? How do you feel?
I would love a reply, but I expect nothing.
3. This probably happens with both sexes, but since I generally chat with guys, my question would be: why do guys lie when they chat online?
Because insecurity is a thing and humans enjoy making fantasies.
4. How has your experience on lit been? if you have any particular experience you'd like to share, please do so.
My experience here on Lit has been decent, if a bit self-inflicted solitary.
5. Since I'm from South East Asia, have you been to this region?
Yes? Please share where you've been and what you liked/disliked about it.
No? Well, if you could, where would you go? Why that destination?
I have yet to visit SE Asia. I would love to visit Vietnam for the food. Otherwise just wandering the area would be nice.
6. whats your best experience from lit? this could be anything from a story (tell us which one); a litster; a voice; a picture; something new you learnt about yourself; .... etc etc.
My best experience is the almost easy camaraderie I am part of here on the forums in the Playground threads.
7. tell me about yourself and what you'd like to chat about.
I am a nocturnal married white bloke. I'm 42 physically, and between 2 and 500 mentally depending on coffee consumption. Bit of loner and a geek. Pagan and Discordian
As for chat topics, I'll weigh in on almsot anything, it depends on my mood.
8. have you ever been to a lit gathering?
I have not and probably would not. I don't do crowds very well. (Though I do go to conventions.)
Not forgetting: do you have any thoughts/questions to ask and share?
Not yet, but I will eventually.

So perhaps you are not a misanthrope?

Here's Googles definition:

I classify myself as an amsued misanthrope. I dislike humanity, but also find a sad humour to life as it is. It isn't ALL bad, but cynicism does rear it's cranky head often.

If I can't avoid people in the world, I might as well either make jokes about it all or stay in my corner with my coffee.

Not a bad thought, hating people is very tiring.
I just constantly remind myself of Wizard's First Rule and then move on. Besides, I like it when individuals prove me wrong about my first impression of them. Opinions are like hair colors, they can be changed.
