Can someone tell me why they have a MS page?
is it a way to make friends, join a lonely hearts club?, further encourage rebellious teenagers to diss their parents?

I'm 46 and think MS is mainly for youngster's
Confused

I have myspace. Like anything it is what you make of it, and there are a lot of old farts like me on it. My girls are on it too so I can see whats up with them also. I have friends there I have met on forums, and some I know in real life. There are creeps on it, but anything online has that, you simply have to weed them out.




Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones...

Lurch, you are not an 'old fart' LOLL

I guess i'm kinda scared to 'be involved' with ms... whenever i hear on the news that they caught another pedophile preying on under-ager's it always mentions MS Eeker

Well like I said, there are creeps on it. If everyone followed the age guide lines that wouldn't be a problem, but peds tend to break the law so why not lie about their age. The kids do it also, if you hit browse for 40-55 you will see under aged kids in there also. Its for us parent to watch out for that stuff. On MS you can set your profile to private, and let only people who want to add you that only have your name or email,

Myspace really shows the worst in some people or just the fake personas of others. There are plenty of good people there also.

I was talked in to getting a page by some friends that wanted to keep in touch that way. It's also a good way to find old friends. I did get a date out of nowhere within a week or two of signing up but that's not why I did.

I started one when my daughter did to keep an eye on her. Turns out I had some fun making it my page. And the lady I'm seeing now I met through there, we talked for a while and decided to start dating.....it's been going well Smiler
But yeah I have several family members on there, a good amount of SFV folks and a few others that I've met just by chance or like interests.

I did the same thing.... except the dating part. I can't seem to figure out why women on there ask me out .... seems like a generic blanket post because when I clicked on the woman's profile, she has a lot of messages that read "who are you?" LOL

Tom is still ignoring my questions Mad Razzer

There are a lot of spammers on there. They use that to get you to go to other sites where they sometimes get paid by how much traffic they drive there.

And Tom, he's a busy dude I guess. I heard that's not even him but.....I don't know.

Tess only accepts add requests from people he/she knows. You must enter either Tess's last name or email address to send your request.

umm. howzabout changing your settings? then i'll knock on your door and ask you to come out and play!

or you can request to be MY friend... much simpler. yay!
