to chat or not to chat thats the question

[Anonymous]

it is kind of odd. I got to a stage I chat with fellow sisters, but most east. while sisters on W.A side seem to have to many fears about talking or meeting.

I can say now I have more friends than 10 years ago. Even when I was with the local club there was so many up tight souls worried about image and who they spoke to.
And if you did not follow the flock and do as told and expected then goddess help you.

So I guess it’s a thing join a group and talk about what your into for me I’m into music and cycling clothes so I’ve join them chat rooms forum, I sometimes comment here but I’m not very interested in trans stuff. I fall under that caterigry but I have very little interest in it but from time to time I stop in

Over the past few years I have joined a few chat sites and what I have found that Australian girls seem to be affraid to chat to other Australian girls this is our best tool to make first contact and realy make new friends .So ask your self why did I join and be honest to make friends support and the big one to have someone to chat with so hi and bye just does not cut it I dont want to upset anyone at all but the chat is the best way to use your feelings and connect with someone.
I hope to hear your feed back just dont be to harsh on me

Fear not, I save my harsh words for the people who put those silly little stickers on my fruit.

I am a member of two overseas-based chat rooms and often drop in for a chat. There are sometimes other Aussie girls in there too so we can chat about local issues as well. I have made a couple of forays into the TgR chat room with less than successful results. I experienced exactly what Sasha mentions, that if you don’t follow the flock and do as expected then cyber ignoring quickly results. It is so hard to join an established clique.

You are correct though Salley, a chat room is a good place to connect with others, even if it never results in a physical meeting.

Hi Sall,

I think your observation is similar to the comment about emails, ‘many are sent but few are answered’. Why this is so I have absolutely no idea. It is a pity as I find it a good way to connect with other like minded people. I have to agree with Sasha though about WA girls. They are reticent bunch but I think that can be put down to trust and the fact that on the whole we are a secretive lot with very few venturing past the front door.

And Jane, I would have to disagree with you on the TgR chat room. I frequent it most nights and find the ladies there most welcoming. Sometimes the conversation can move rapidly and a comment/statement you have made can be overlooked. I have just come to realise that many are using smart phones to communicate and that can slow them down typing so the conversation moves on before they get a chance to answer. This, I suppose, could be interpreted as cyber ignoring.

I personally find the chat room a great place to inhabit… Yes, I know I should get a life…

I must be frank (Francine?) and admit that my efforts at TgR chat were some time ago. I suppose I just never really ventured back to it and stuck to what I was familiar with. Maybe time to give it another go.

The cyber space is a big place and as already has been mentioned there is more than one chat place to be.. Use your browser and expand your horizons if you wish .. I’m sure events and topic for TG/TS/TV people are probably the same all around the world.. Besides it makes you feel good about yourself to know how many other people are out there.. It’s a bit like having a pen pal really
