Default Lurkers!! What is keeping you from joining in?

Ok, you are seeing this, I know you are... so what is it that is keeping you from joining in in the forums? I know some of you have registered so you can enjoy other areas of the site (forums aren't for everyone) and that's cool... but I just want to know. I'll even make it a poll so if you have that serious of an aversion to posting you don't have to! LOL.

I lurk because I'm shy and have no opinions whatsoever.

Default Re: Lurkers!! What is keeping you from joining in?

I just checked the results and worrying about already saying what has already been said seems to be #1 worry.
That being said, don't worry about that. Perhaps you have a different way of saying the same thing but in a way that someone might relate to.
For example, I teach karate. I teach the same forms and fighting techniques as the other Black Belts at my school, and yet for some reason people learn better from me. Why is that? I have NO IDEA. Sometimes it is just in the delivery.
Post something, you may be suprised about how well your comment is recieved.
Your friend,
Prettylady

I'm not exactly worried about saying or asking something that already has been said or asked, but everytime I felt I had a question or doubt I have been able to find a very good answer in the forums without the need of me posting the question.

It's good to know you're finding the answers to your questions. But there are several theads/polls here that are just for fun. Feel free to jump in and participate on those, too (says the co-winner of an SB tee shirt)!

Wow... I double this. There are so many people who can eloquently post things I'm thinking, and they're so much better at "the delivery". I spill my opinion anyway.

I have no experience being a swinger. I have made love to one women in my life. But I have no objection to others having as much as they can.http://www.swingersboard.com/forums/...milies/sad.gif

Smile Re: Lurkers!! What is keeping you from joining in?

I find it can sometimes be a gruellling process to break the ice and form a habit... and there's only so many online habits to keep going. For me there's my regular fixes: Facebook, blogging, allpoetry, regular forums, torrent searching...

Having said that, I love being a swinger and don't think it'll be hard to keep this place as a frequent haunt. I think they're getting sick of me at my ex-christian forum. Over posting can annoy some people... ah frak 'em. Who wants too many rules in life eh?

There's no such thing as over-posting here . . . if there were, I'd have been kicked off a month ago. Post away, and who knows--you might even win a tee shirt.

Joseph!

I can't speak for the rest of the folks here, but I usually check under "New Posts (since Last Visit)" each time. If there's a forum I have a particular interest in, then I click on "Forums" and go from there.

I do recommend you post an introduction, so we can welcome you properly.

This is OUR board, so read and post on the threads/topics YOU are interested in. See ya' around!

=)

Default Re: Lurkers!! What is keeping you from joining in?

First and foremost, I enjoy the site and especially like reading the storys. But I am not in a swinging relationship or is there a chance that I ever will be. That said, I do have some female friends that I have erotic chats with on MSN and Yahoo Messinger. And not knowing anyone here, I find it difficult to chime in.... But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't appreciate an opportunity to visit with someone. I did respond here to a couple that was into interracial sex as two of my chat friend ladies are, but after a couple of e-mails I never heard from them again.
