The secret (for the shy solo traveler) is to pretend you're invisible. Don't worry for a second about sightseeing, eating, or strolling by yourself. You're just there to take it all in, every sight, sound, smell, texture. Like a benevolent observer from another dimension.

I didn't see the racism, as those are the "big three" for teen boys/young men all over the world, of all races. At least last I checked [quick browse...] yup, still is.

That's not necessarily true. I find that, after a second-or-later date request, dead air feels worse than a simple No Thanks. I'm not one to act out my hurt feelings like this winner, but I can't be alone in finding passive rejection more irritating.

Nah - one date. No explanation required, just a simple No Thanks. Then, if they get poopy about it, they're the jackasses.

You honestly think that the guy who called her a "self-interested princess" and "douchebag" for not returning a text promptly would have said, "I wish you well" if she had texted him back to say thanks but no thanks?

actually they had been on a date. This was his admittedly-feeble request for Seconds.

I agree. I was walking around the other day in a busy area. So many smiling happy couples. And lots of them included guys under 5'9" with nice-looking women. And tall handsome dudes with round-ish women. My first thought was "they did *not* meet online."

Some of the longer profiles come off as "I'm so fascinating! And my grammar is to-die-for!"

Also, it does not come off well.

she didn't make circles to dot her i's.

I bet mostly she gets messages like "Hey how's it goin"

No this is definitely real. It's an extreme case, but I find that 1 out of 4 women's profiles include include long lists of qualifications.

The story sounds off to me because on another site, there were other witness accounts, *supporting her* and none mentioned more than a single punch, and most say that she either grabbed or pushed his camera away. Now, she's saying there was some kind of extended beatdown, and all she did was tap him on the shoulder.

Her story sounds as bullshitty as his (especially because I've read accounts supporting her, and none of them mentioned more than a single punch, then flight).

Possibly the best controls ever on VT. It seemed to know exactly where you meant to hit the ball. I had so much fun playing that in multiplayer.

So great, right? Plus NFL and NBA 2k (and 2k1) were far and away the greatest video representations of their respective sports through that time.

What a weird game that was! Some cool designs, and pretty decent graphics for the time, but the camera actually made me a little nauseated.

Well I don't know about all that, because for some folks, hundreds of dollars are no biggie, so why not get a crack at the latest & greatest. It's the same logic of how stupid it is to buy an expensive car new - nothing loses value quicker than an expensive car. But some folks have money to burn.

Never mind "innocent until proven guilty", can we at least wait until he has been actually charged?
