Who is doing MySpace?

Okay you guys - I have seen mention of MySpace here by Steph and Mark. How are you guys doing this? Put up a profile, indicate you are single and looking for dating - put up pix - and then what? Wait for guys to contact you? Or do you search and write to them?

Thought this might be interesting. What about Facebook? I am on that but use it to have fun with my friends (and spy on some - LOL!!)

Tips are appreciated!!

I am on Myspace and I used to indicate that I was dating and looking but I only got messages from geriatrics or really oddballs so now i am just on there for friends!

I did a myspace account so I could monitor my kids'sites! A friend of mine help me set it up. I just listed my status as divorced and looking for friends. I WASN'T looking for dates. I keep up with some of my friends on there that I went to Jr High and High school with.
You can do a search on members based on location and status (divored, single, etc) I have gotten several messages from guys. Most were NOT my type. My profile isn't set to private because I haven't had a problem with weirdos contacting me.

I also have one set up to see my childs activity, but otherwise, I don't use it. I think it's kind of POF type of thing and get some strange poeple asking you out.

I have a video of Jesus on my site, so that could be why I don't get contacted TOO often by weirdos! LOL!!

How I "do" MySpace


On MySpace, I do a search for single women within a certain geographic distance, height, and body type.

Same here on the myspace weirdo magnet so i changed my profile that im just staying in touch with friends. Its good to so I dont become a really overbearing mom with pics of my dd on every email i send them...now if they want to see her pics they can just check my page. I really like it, plus i stay current on any charities/organizations/bands that i like.

This is like the holy grail - how the male mind works - we just LOVE having you here!!

Picture first, content second....... LOL!!

I think we go in reverse - content first, picture second.

No wonder this matching thing is such a pain!! It is like you dumped out a huge block set of 3,000 different sized and colored blocks and you have to find a match in a sea of misfits!! LOL!!

LOL!!!! You are on a roll here!!

Now - for the big question. You are in search of your next spouse. Which would you choose:

1) hot dressed babe - could be centerfold - wearing promiscuous garb
2) business suit - pretty face, sounds responsible
3) hot - great body, face, attractive clothing - but not like #1
