I didn't try to turn this into dating, but it would be a sweet alternate thread to start up.
If you want to make a serious suggestion about this, you can post in the feedback forum, but I'll give you a quick opinion here. I think we already have ample ways for people to describe themselves (signatures, profiles, Community Discussion posts), chat about personal issues (Community Discussion), and contact each other privately as each of us chooses to permit (PM, IM, e-mail), which leads me to think a dedicated dating area wouldn't be worthwhile, but admittedly one of my goals is keeping moderation requirements low.

Of course we're still waiting for a happy couple to announce they've been married 50 years and have 24 grandchildren, all because they met at MacRumors. :)

it could be fun if people went to visit where other member's live and they hooked them up.

I know you meant that in a dating sense, but it would be could when traveling to meet some MR people at bars and stuff. I've heard about meetings before, but not something where someone is traveling to say Germany, so it would be a way of meeting some of the German MR members.

Ok, now I'm going way off topic here. But at least nobody has pestered me to post any more pictures after seeing my frst one. :D
 
I just can't resist- damn there are some fine guys on this site! Yeah, I'm a guy, get over it and take it as only the highest compliment. None of you should be having much girl trouble. :)

Being a bastard, and never one to be humble, I'll assume I am one of the guys you are referring to. On behalf of myself and all my handsome good-looking MacRumors counterparts (Diatribe obviously included), I extend my sincerest thanks. :cool: ;) :D

You're welcome. BTW- many of you can even dress yourselves too! You must have girlfriends already. :)

Actually, I have a fiancee who worked in Men's Wear for 7 years. Let's just say I've learned a lot about fashion from her. ;) (You can take a look at her, too, if you like, in post #1616) (how do you link to a specific post? anyone?)

I've been afraid to say this, but I whole-heartedly agree! :D
(except for the "I'm a guy" part. I'm not a dude.)

Not sure how to do it easily, but replace the post number in this link:

Ah, you are far too modest my friend! But, it is a personal thing, so if you'd rather not put another up, that's totally cool. Perhaps it's better that way so you can toy with everyone else and keep them guessing and curious! ;) :cool:

Hehe, thanks. I might eventually put one up again, we'll see. :) If I get too many fan letters I might ;)

Thanks for including me, not that a whole lot of people have seen my pic and could actually prove you wrong. :D

And about Diatribe- I didn't see his photo, but I noticed he's in Berlin. There's not one unattractive person Berlin. :) Be proud, you guys are a pretty city! If any of you don't believe me, GO.

As for YOU Shard- you and your GF are hotties. :)

Thanks for the nice words. Berlin is a pretty nice city.
For a short viewing pleasure... here ya go.

So why'd you take your picture down? Sheesh. If I looked like that I'd post it in every message I made. :p

I originally posted it for Shard to see. After he saw it I felt no need to leave it up. As I said I don't really like myself in pictures... but thanks for the nice words. :)

leekohler said:
Ok- so when you walk down the street, how many car accidents do you cause? A rough average will do. :)

Hehe, thanks for the flowers, I appreciate it. :)

Thanks guys, it’s appreciated!

Phew, that’s a relief! ;)

leekohler said:

You don’t have to tell me – I was in Berlin last year and absolutely loved it. I went on a walking tour of the city which I thought would last a few hours, and by the time my guide was done, I realized we had been walking for 11 hours! I completely lost track of time and was caught up in the city. Amazing city, I’d love to go back. And hopefully next time I’m there you won’t be in Madrid Diatribe!

Thank you, I’d like to think we both have good taste… ;) :cool:

See, now you guys know what I was talking about!

Diatribe said:
BTW, Shard, I totally missed to congratulate you on your new sign of complete RL-loss... ehm... ranking. :D

Congrats my friend. :)

Thanks, I appreciate it! Yes, I am now one of only 7 or so MacRumors 601s. :cool: I think it will be quite a while before I see another ranking though... ;)

And likewise, congrats on your new level of RL-loss as well, I assume that was fairly recent? Regardless, congrats. :cool:

...

May I suggest though to everyone in general that we keep the conversation to a minimum? I just don’t want to hijack and clutter Doctor Q’s great Pics thread here with too much off-topic chat. ;) :cool:

With the frequency girls usually go to the mall I can understand that this is a nuisance. :p :D

Some of us girls are more likely to smack you with a hammer that we spent all day shopping for in hardware stores instead of malls implying that some of us are actually willing to set foot in one of those consumer monstrosities. :)

wrc fan said:
Hmm... maybe we should post a request in site feedback for a MacRumors Dating Service. :)

Well, that can only lead to...

Or, inter-MR dating

Macrumors incest!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but if you're in the Bay Area...

That sounds fun. Too bad I'm not living there anymore! :(

What I was meaning is that next summer I'm planning on going to Germany for the world cup, so for instance to meet people over there for drinks while we watch a match at a pub or something. I dunno... the community discussion probably will work fine for that sorta stuff.
 
Just stumbled into this thread by accident... and decided to let you guys see what I look like.

Me, contemplative, before the last race of my life.

Last race? Why?


Awesome pics, too. :) :)
