networking sites

a friend recommends another networking site, http://www.multiply.com it's something similar to friendster, i never did join frienster because i hate the testimonials' shit.

since this multiply site dont have it, i signed up to see what's it's all about. there's photo sharing, forums, blogging services etc. quite impressive, i must say.

speedwise is ok for now, guess not many people have caught on to it but if it start getting popular...

below are some of the details you had to fill in and some of them tickles me.

Looking For:
Relationship Status:
Gender Preference:
Drinking:
Smoking:
Religion:
Want Children:

Checkboxes for the following...

Looking for:
Friends
Activity Partners
Casual Dating
Serious Relationship
Adult Fun

haha, gender preference. this is a sensitive gesture. the creator dont assume that if you are male, you will be looking for a female partner.

drinking, smoking and religion. these 3, i can understand the need for a user to state but want children? wow, this is taking it a bit too far.

under the checkboxes for looking for, what do they exactly mean by adult fun? another term for causal sex? one night stand? anyway, i'd checked it...

if anyone did sign up, you can look for me under zulc under instant messenger id or something like that.

i heard about http://www.wholivesnearyou.com/ from a friend and later from a newspaper article. i signed up a few days later and one thing that struck me was how slow the access was.

anyway, i only went through gals' profiles. quite a number caught my eyes and i dont remember seeing them around in the neighborhood. well, that's what this website is for.

the next day after i signed up, i met one gal who was so familiar but i'm sure it's the first time i had met her face to face. yup, i first saw her on the website.

it's kinda weird to know she's 20, an undergrad from ntu too, her interests etc etc...even though i dont really know her.

on my way home yesterday, she sat beside me(the seat beside me was the last one available...), i gave her some weird glances and she too.

although i did have my profile, there's no way for her to link my profile to me.

for my headshot, i upload an anime picture of a pig.
