So I'm guessing you've never dated anyone? Another car salesman with no game, what's up with that?
Huh? I had girlfriends pretty much steadily from age 16 until I was about 20 when my girlfriend of 18 months and I broke up. Since then nothing serious has happened. I think honestly it's the "change of crowd" of women in my area. My neighborhood has gone really trendy and I have nothing in common with these middle America college educated professional girls who are into arts and stuff
With working class girls it doesn't seem to be a problem, and with working class guys I can actually make friends. Even though technically I went to college I don't vibe well with the classy young professional degree educated types. I like working class people. Problem is NYC doesn't have that many working class white Italian/irish/polish types anymore...it's either new immigrants, or yuppies. That's why I joined this site to find a more working class type town. Not just for dating but in general upper class fancy educated people make me feel uncomfortable and that's who I am having this problem with.
Not unnecessary change. New doesn't always equal better. Sometimes things are best left untouched.
Like I said it seems my biggest problems socially are in these young professional crowds where everyone is tweeting and worried about making partner at their firm, I think I will thrive if I move to a place that is more working class less college girls and professionals in General more blue collar native NYers who don't gasp when I use the f bomb and tell them I don't have a tweeter
I don't get the implication you're making. Because I find technology cumbersome and I hate the feeling of constantly being connected. Yes. The modern world kind of sucks and I can't change the world but I can be true to my roots and my feelings. Your name is joe college so I'm assuming you're some young professional trendster that instagrams all day...you wouldn't get it

You keep repeating things like you didn't read any of the replies to your thread. Technology affords you the option to be as connected as you want to be, whether that's a little or a lot. It's within your ability to control it and only respond when you have the time/interest. Checking your texts or messages during a lunch hour or at the end of a workday is not that different than checking messages when you get home, but it gives you the freedom to be anywhere, not only in your house.
I had never been dependent in my cell phone, didn't leap to every text I received, didn't always keep my cell phone near me. But now that my mother is ill and has been in hospital for months, the ability to be reached by cell phone has been a blessing. The hospital can reach me at any time, and anywhere. Both my friends and my mother's friends can text me, which is a lot less intrusive than constant phone calls.
When this communication started to overwhelm me, I made adjustments so that it didn't. You always have the power and choice to determine the level of communication you want to have with modern technology. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I do find it odd that you see it as only extremes and don't want to find a happy medium.
The OP is no longer a member. I guess even the 25 year old technology of an Internet message board overwhelmed him.
