In regards to the last answer. There are guys here that are looking for the same. In some ways this is the only way they can get the courage to talk to others. I can reconmend eharmony.com is a good way to go. Surely you can find an interest there. Not all people are bad. But you can tell by the ones who's talking more than they should. ;-)

If you approach it in an organized way, it can be very helpful. However, one of the big things about the internet is that since anyone can post information, the validity of the information is always in question. A source like wikipedia where people can edit answers as new information becomes available (or when people post incorrect information) can be very useful as a starting point.\n\nUsing a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or AltaVista can provide a lot of good information, but you must be careful about your sources. Something posted by an accepted authority carries a lot more weight than something someone posta on their personal website.

May people use the internet as a source of meeting people.  But, you have to be careful.  As you know, there are many fools and retards in this world.  The nearest mall to you could be a place to meet new people, or even at a club.  It all depends on your personality.  If you are a stay-at-home person, then meeting people on the internet is best for you.  If you are an outgoing person, then clubs (ME ;-)) would be a great source of finding friends.  If you are church going and "One With God", then the best place to find friends would be in a church-based environment.  You see, it all depends on your personality.

Wouldn't you rather create something for yourself rather than just do data entry for someone else?\n\nUSE the Internet.\n\nThe Internet is a second home. It's the easiest, most flexible, and most convenient tool for finding information now. \n\nThink about your favorites or bookmarks. You probably have a huge list of sites (sorted, if you're lucky, into folders!) about gardening, news, holidays, recipes, shopping, Christmas, family health, games, tips, TV, finance or whatever else catches your fancy. \n\nAnd the reason you bookmarked those sites? They gave you useful information. \n\nNow think about all those other people out there on the Web. Who are they? \n\nMoms, dads... single parents, grannies... sporty types, couch potatoes... teachers, homeschoolers, music freaks, would-be chefs. They all seek the same thing. And that is, of course, quality, relevant information for their kids, gardens, home projects, hobbies, and the list goes on and on. \n\nSurfers love Web sites that reflect the owner's passion about a specific topic (i.e., painting, dogs, travel, scrapbooking, etc.) They are excited to find articles, advice, and ideas that respond to their needs or fuel their dreams. And when they discover a site that appeals to them, they will return frequently. \n\nYou too can do this too. \n\nWhat is your passion? What information, based on your experiences (life, education, employment), could you share? How could you help someone else? \n\nEverybody knows something about something. Identify it and then write about it! There are thousands and thousands of people who want to read about it - and spend money on it - now. \n\nMy site was created just like this. I love to help others and I know a lot about resumes, so I created a site about that. A link to it is below. I make money on my site and so far, I don't sell a thing. That will come as my site continues to grow.\n\nBelieve me, if a 40 year old mother of two children can do it, you can, too. \n\nIt's an honest business because I created it myself. I will not do anything to "rip off" anyone else. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did that. \n\nThe first link is to my site. The second link is to the site that I created my web site with. \n\nNot that it matters, but I live in the Dallas area. When we moved here from OKC a few months ago, this was the perfect business because it goes where I go.

I'd say myspace or something similar.  Just tread VERY carefully - if you think you've met weirdos in the real world, that's nothing compared to some of the fruitloops that inhabit the net.\n\nTheres no substitute for meeting people in the real world.

It would be helpful if you listed more of your interests.  A lot of forums focus towards one activity (but have general forums to chat about other thins as well) such as video game forums or computer forums.\nI just found one called "SyberMoms"\nhttp://sybermoms.com/forums/\nMaybe you'll meet people you like there?\nThat's all I've got, but if you don't like SyberMoms, you can go here:\nhttp://rankings.big-boards.com/?p=all\nand see if you find anything you like =D.
