There were at one time many places where people could chat on the internet.
I think the most popular, and one that is still very popular is Yahoo.
I don’t go there often but there was a time when I spent more time there than I should have, but it did indirectly pay off. I was looking for help at my job and I did find a couple people that were interested and did help some.
The real chat appears to be more about sex than anything else. I am not condemning it I am just stating it as a fact. I do think that the pay sites like dating.com or some of those might be the place to go even though they do charge for their services.
They do claim to do actual research before matching people up for what I assume is some nominal fee.
People do attempt this in the regular chat rooms, or at least the “romance” rooms in Yahoo. I very often found or still find that the general conversation is more sexual innuendos and joking, but is more often than not sexual in nature.
Some people are looking for sex, some for conversation, and some are seriously looking for a soul mate or possibly someone to spend their lives with.
The percentage of divorcees seems to be relatively high and often the attitude toward one sex or the other causes some lively debates at times. I don’t consider myself stuffy or a prude but the conversation can end up to sound something like some sort of pornography.
There are often a bunch of regulars that go there often and share their daily experiences with each other. They often schedule “chat parties” and usually invite most of the people in the room. This does permit people to meet and often some people meet that special someone.
I have personally found it difficult to break into anything that seems to be like a real conversation until you have been there a few times so if you do check the rooms, this can be a good thing to remember.
I find that most of the people are nice although I feel very strongly that many people will type things on the screen they would never say to someone.
It passes the time and for someone that is single and just wants to interact with others, I think it is a great way to get to talk with someone.
I do think there is a fairly large percentage of people purely looking for sex and many are married. I do know that not all of those that are married admit it until they get caught, so it is something to watch for.
I do think the romance rooms contain more talk of sex than might be necessary, but they are romance rooms, so it should be expected.
The thing I really like about them even though I haven’t been in one in months is that usually no matter what topic you discuss, someone has knowledge. The best part is that it is often useful. Things from how to fix a computer or how to find some special item that isn’t sold in all stores.
Either way and not matter why you go there, it can be fun.
