So, I have this Myspace and I think it's getting in the way of meeting people. Yeah, I know... IT'S A MYSPACE, but every time I talk to a person and they see the Myspace I never hear from them again. I have a theme for it. The address is myspace.com/imrealsmyspace. You can also find it by searching imrealsmyspace on myspace. I am the only result. My name on it is 'I'M REAL', because I got cheated on and I know I will never put someone through that. Also, I don't drink or smoke and there's a banner for that on there. Plus, I am into smooth jazz a little, which might scare people away, considering I am only 21, but I like every kind of music except rap and classical. The page is just displaying who I am, and I have got to serious thinking. Maybe I should act like someone I am not, and take all this off, but what ever happened to just being yourself?! I know if people would just see that as just being a myspace and look past it, they would see how fun and how great of a person I can be. I would like some opinions guys. Thank you very much for all your help.

My opinion would be that maybe you should try to join some clubs or organizations in your community where you might meet and get to know people. Sounds like using the online stuff is just making you frustrated.

Hopefully, others will come along to address your question.

Thanks!

I have to agree with Clough. There are so many ways to meet people online nowadays, whatever happened to going out and actually meeting people? Don't really on your computer, go out, in person, meet other people, face to face, that's the way to go. And no, don't stop being yourself, you are fine just the way you are, but sometimes it's not easy to show that on a site.

Good luck.

I agree with Clough, go and join some clubs... Meet new people! Online relationships and meeting people have unlimited complications. Not that meeting people in person don't... but it's a bit safer.

Don't rely solely on internet! Go out have fun, relax and enjoy yourself!

Smooth jazz? Sweet!

Frequenting jazz clubs and following jazz bands would be a MUCH better use of your time than updating a MySpace page only unappreciative onlookers will frequent, anyway.

You don't need MySpace. You need to know who you are and what you like, then go lead that life, meet people in THAT environment. You don't MySpace for that. MySpace is not only a distraction for you, it's wasting your time...

A couple things:

1. Are you meeting people in person and then telling them about your myspace? I don't see a need to do that if that's the case. Just let people get to know you in person.

2. No, you shouldn't rely solely on myspace but at the same time I met my husband on myspace and wasn't even on there to meet anyone. Also his sister met a really great guy on there and they've been together for a while now. So does myspace work to meet people? Of course. Does it work for everyone? No.
