Hooking up on Forumosa

Hooking up on Forumosa (Feel free to choose more than 1 option)

  • Forumosa should have classified personals.
  • Forumosa should not have classified personals.
  • I have used online dating or personal ads before. (ICQ, Friendfinder, Adultfriendfinder, TeaLit, etc.)
  • I would use Forumosa personal classified ads.
  • I wouldn’t use them, but I’d enjoy reading them.

I think that would be better then the disguised Bodyfluid-Exchange, called language exchange

That might be something that’ll happen in the weeks and months to come. Stay tuned.

oh god no…not more of the “sad lonely american male, 53, seeks nubile high school girl for fun in the tub”…can’t we leave this to tealit…they do it so well

Why do we need to go to Tealit to read this stuff. Let’s put it in house. Yeah, can’t wait to read some of the replies.

There is already one in the flame forum. Somebody is wanting their nads sucked. Maybe we could use that as a trial thread.

I’m not sure we’ll allow replies. People could always PM or e-mail the people posting ads directly.

Replies would be a lot of fun. :smiling_imp:

on a related note has anyone else been getting msn’s from chinese girls…since i added my msn details to my tag i’ve had a couple of girls add me to their contact list then demand to know who i am, have photo? etc. etc ( i guess they’re scrolling thru the fora and adding any likely candidates to their lists)…they always lose interest after i show my passport photo…perhaps they’re expecting something a bit racier?

Well, posting replies is a bit unorthodox maybe, but one might think of some kind of literacy test, or an ethics test, before ads get accepted, to avoid the Tealit Meatmarket Syndrome from spreading to Forumosa. Let’s be fair: We have been running around on this planet for 500.000 years.

I know formosa is quite classier than T###T. But there are people out there looking to hook up and make friends. Anyone care to tell me why there isn’t a Dating/Make friends forum?

It was tried long ago with little activity.

So try it again. Forumosa is a lot bigger now than before.

Well, there’s the Language Exchange forum, Happy Hours, Games Club, and all that, plus, you know, real life.

If you’re in Taipei, it’s a natural dating scene. :wink:

If you like the way someone posts on Forumosa, just send them a PM – you never know, you might get lucky.

Which makes me wonder whether Forumosa has been instrumental in bringing any couples together? Stragbasher and Aprimo, perhaps? Any others?

Well, for one, a dating service here would be a sausage fest, given the relative small number of women active on the boards.

I introduced her to Forumosa, and now she’s gone home to Californee. I am no longer a couple, or even part of one.

Personals ads on forumosa may sound like a good idea to some, especially if you like sausages, but how many psycho xiao jies would that attract to our serious discussions about important questions concerning Taiwan? (Such as ‘who has the biggets willies, us or them?’ And ‘are they all on the game?’)

I’m not opposed to the real Taiwanesers who have stumbled into this site, and generally they seem like nice people, but this is primarily a site for ex-pats. For dating ads to be effective there would need to be more female traffic, which means reaching out into the local community and attracting more people who may change the character of the site.

On the other hand, we seem to have been inundated with nutters recently anyway, not the home-grown variety but the imported kind. And having more girls around the place can’t be a bad thing, can it?

I’ll start then:

Please forward this to all of your female friends. Thanks :sunglasses:

Sheesh, sb, why didn’t you tell me that BEFORE I left Taiwan?? :unamused:

Anyway, the real reason why there are no dating ads is quite simple. It would just be too difficult to organize, and folks don’t like forums that don’t get any traffic. So, if we set up the Dating section (kind of like the Legal Section) and divide it into:
Men seeking Women
Women seeking Men
Men seeking Western Women
Women seeking Western Women
Western women seeking anyone at all

The first category would be full, the second would be well-used, the third would be completely empty, the fourth would be full of genuinely well-meaning language exchange ads, and the fifth would be overflowing. :smiley: And we can’t have a forum with such low traffic as (3) above would generate. Doesn’t look good.

Maybe you split it up like that to crack jokes (which I by the way enjoyed), but it would only really need one forum. Then each post would have something in the subject that would describe what they’re looking for. There also could be a sticky with a list of all the acronyms to use:

and we’d be all good to go.

I really don’t care either way, just adding to the discussion.

I’ve been wondering that, too. Her ingenuous good nature and lusty delight in the pleasures of the flesh made her a lot of fun to have around.
