Snarky Brides

What does this board

mean to you?

I feel like every one was up in arms today about this and that. Just curious.

Also, are you here for internet friends or not? I am, but that seems like the real uncool thing to admit and I don't know why. People find love online all the time. I am also curious about this.

Re: What does this board

  • It may be uncool to meet friends this way but I am!  I have very limited free time and I started posting on E just to get some answers to wedding questions.  I gravitated over here because people I enjoyed listening to moved over here.  I lurked and hung around enough that I started posting and now I have some genuine friends here.  I have IRL friends but that doesn't mean I cannot enjoy meeting new people.

    We live so much of our lives via technology that I don't find it odd anymore to meet people this way.
  • Rach, I think you win? Actually, I am sure you do :)

    okkkk.... but, I do love the fact that people are able to say what they think and others still respect them.... for example I was swooning today when Missy (who I consider my girl) was totally cool with Vegas even though other people were pointing out things that they were not happy with. I want this for us.
  • I also like talking about dildos and poop.  =)
  • I enjoy being able to interact with people who have different opinions than I do. I haven't gotten into any in depth debates with anyone, but I've lurked and there are definitly people with different views. And I respect that.

    And making friends is an added bonus.

    It is true that pit bulls grab and hold on. But what they most
    often grab and refuse to let go of is your heart

  • I am displaced from all my family and friend besides Mike, my brother and some work people. I really love connecting with people and I have no problem being loud and proud about loving the internet.

    I am just confuzzled as to why the insult, "you all have no lives and spend all your time on here" repeatedly shows up and is a bad thing. Are we not more wise to the social networking the internet provides in this day and age?

    Also, how do people not realize they are not going to like everyone one here, just like real life />

    I am a loner with control issues - which is why i prefer to keep my friends at a distance and either only talk with them on the phone or on the internet. That way I can "be busy" when I want to be on my own and not really explain too much. I hate doing things with people, I prefer to be on my own. This lets me control that. I feel closer to some of my knot friends than I do to real life friends, because they dont make demands of me or make me feel bad for being busy or not wanting to hang out, we can just enjoy eachothers company when we happen to meet up online.

    That said, I think dildos are silly and its just cliche to talk about them.
  • I like hearing opinions from a more diverse crowd than my IRL friends.

    I also think it's great to have a group of people who will tell you what they think when you're being ridiculous and that's okay because you don't have to maintain a friendship with them. You end up getting more objective reactions to your thoughts and ideas than you would from a friend who doesn't want to hurt your feelings.

    I love the honesty, and my favorite posters are those who can tell posters the truth without being cruel.

    It is comforting to have a place to be yourself! Like Chichi said, it is also comforting to be open to different ideas and opinions. I may be very vocal that I don't agree, but I read every damn word of what some one else says kwim?

    Honestly, I get on here because I love you girls. You all are very smart and funny and I like wasting time with you all.

  • I recently started posting on the boards. I now check them at least a few times a week. It is nice to get someone else's perspective, especially when you need a "tie breaker". I agree that making internet friends is nice, as FI and I live busy lives and never seem to have time for friends.

    A year ago FI and I had just gotten engaged and we moved to a new town and knew hardly anyone besides eachother and our co-workers.  I started lurking for the entertainment, and I've stuck around because I like it.  We have one TV, so in the evenings I knot and play around online (aka, shop) while FI watches something. 

    I like you ladies.  I like hearing different perspectives on things and I like "knowing" people in different parts of the world.  I absolutely think that real friendships can be formed in places like this. 

    ETA:  I think that SB is a good place, I don't feel like I have to think of the 15 ways anything I type could be interpreted and used against me. 
  • I just like it around here.  I started posting because I was lurking a little bit after getting engaged and when I tried to answer some girl's question about something I learned I had to sign up.  I didn't find SB til after that.

    I know what you mean about it not "being cool" to make friends online M&M but being around on this board makes me feel like it's not that big of a deal.  Like many other girls have already said - they've met their loves online.

  • Soster- that is the same situation for my H and I. We have friends, but we don't have time to see them. They are working when we are not, or we are working when they are not.

  • I'm stuck in the middle of the cornfields (I say this, but this is a very metropolitan area) far away from anyone I know other than my husband. I do consider many people here to be friends, because to be completely honest, I haven't met anyone not connected with work or J's bicycling since I've been here. I've met some of his sister's friends, but -- they aren't anything like me. No one I could call and chat with on my own, or go do something with. His sister and I aren't all that compatible - we don't NOT get along, but we're very different.

    I met John in an internet chat room, so I know friendships can be made. I also casually dated someone before him from there. 

    And quite honestly, J works until 9:30, and I'm home alone. Soon, that's  liable to change to 11:30.

    Meg, you're cute. I kinda feel like Vegas is one of my boys from summer camp, but the tables are turned, and I've got his back instead of them watching over me.
    (funny; I've found about 5 of them on Facebook, and they all remember me having crushes on so and so and that it was "standard" for the executive's daughter - but they all watched over me and I was safe).

  • Meaghan, I remember you asking a similar question on E one day, and I thought, "I wonder if Meaghan and I could be friends?" But I was too scared to ask.

  • Ditto the time issue. 

    I just don't have the time and energy sometimes for my IRL friends.  I do love them, but it's hard for me to keep up the energy.

    I sometimes feel like I have mild social anxiety.  I get really nervous when going out, even when it's with people I know.  Coming here is low pressure and I feel like I can make friends without the usual stress.

  • Oh and also my two very best friends now live in Daytona and Alabama so that sucks :( I love that you people understand that it is hard sometimes to keep things up with IRL friends and this is an outlet for general banter without 'real life' eating it up.

  • For me, this board is a place to have some laughs, discuss WR and NWR topics and build a basic camaraderie with people and just enjoy it.

    I just like it here. I'm not the internet forum type of girl. I only posted on my local board a little bit about WR stuff but SB just sort of feels like home, even if I feel like I'm talking to a wall sometimes.

    For the record. I honest to god could not tell you one thing that would make people hate you. Sure, I have seen the KPS but it does not register. And, I think you know I am pretty on top of stuff like this. I mean, REALLY? really? Jealousy?
