well, I'm 24 and desperate so here I am..haha j/k I do go out, and meet people the old fashioned way, if you want to call it that (bars, parties, or just doing your own everyday thing), but other than working and doing other things on the computer I like to come on and talk to friends, maybe actually make some more. I've met some pretty cool people from the internet so I'm sticking around.

I don't go out enough to meet guys, and when I do go out 99% of the time I'm with a big group of big guys...so as you can probably tell, not very many guys will look at me twice because they assume I'm with one of the guys. Besides, due to some self esteem issues and crap like that I find it extremely difficult to go up to guys because I've been badly teased as a teen so most of the time I have that the guy I'm looking at is thinking that I'm ugly or something like that. I've met some really great guys (unfortunately long distance) online and I've had a wonderful year long relationship with one guy so I think that it might be easier for me to meet a guy online, let him judge me on my personality first and then maybe meet and hope for the best.

Sorry to hear that Dearest. To be honest anyone who called you ugly was way off target, if that picture does you any justice you're quite beautiful.

As to me it's a time think, that and I don't very often drink. I'm online pretty much 24/7 so seemed the best route for me personally ... of course I'm 27 so I'm at the outside of you're age group lol.

I agree. Weird isn't it? It is if the only meeting place they know is this. But if they do it for fun or just an extra is ok. Someday in the future somebody will come up with robots. These robots will come in male and female genders. People will buy their favorite robot. The downside is that humanity might end. Or the robots will take over the Earth and whatever other places colonized by humans. Ha ha ha but the robots won't be able to do anything about the cockroaches who around that time are evolving into intelligent beings.

"Question 13: Do you know what states have a drinking age that is under 21? I'm doing a research paper on alcohol and youths.

Answer: There are no states that allow drinking under the age of 21. This is a federal law and not an individual state law."

alabama has voted that if a man can get killed being sent to war at the age of 18, then they can get intoxicated at age 18. just because there is a federal law, it does not mean that alabama or any other state will inforce that law.

ask an alabama state trooper, or a georgia trooper for the real scoop.

true or false- you must wear a seatbelt in georgia if you are in the front seat of any vehicle?

Even if a state does not enforce a certain law, does not mean it's still not a law. A federal law is still a federal law.

a law does not mean anything unless it is enforced. it becomes useless words on parchment.

For myself, I pay no attention whatsoever to any laws that don't get enforced, unless I am in court using a point to make my case.

Ok, I have to put a stop to this argument about the legal drinking age, etc.. Birdman, just say you're sorry for being wrong. You stated that Alabama's drinking age was 18, and it isn't. You didn't say it wasn't enforced until the facts were presented to you. As an MP of 12+ years I can say for a fact that what you said about enforcement there is total bullshit. Ask a trooper? You're kidding right? About enforcing a law. We have what we call officer discretion. If I catch a kid with a beer who's 18, I myself will let him/her go because I do believe that if you can die for your country, you can drink in it, BUT, if I get a kid that's drunk off his ass acting stupid, I'll enforce the LAW and lock his ass up. It's a case-by-case judgement call on scene. Sorry, but maybe you should ask the thousands of underage drinkers that were busted in Alabama every year whether or not the law was enforced and to "ask a trooper". :/

On topic: I don't see why not, meaning, even though the internet wasn't around for me at 19, it's an extra avenue to look for people whether thats for friends or dating. The traditional things don't always work, i.e. the bars, etc..., so why not try here?
