Dear Guy Talkers Why did you join Girltalk?

[jaymarvinlloren]

To make good conversation to girl what's the best for the girls. yeah! like what i said.

[carmilina]

IIRC...mid to late 90s nagsimula ang GT.

Mods, tama di ba?

--lol! 90"s nga ba? ang alam ko Kuya , mga early 2000...

[anon]

^ hmmm... I met someone special in the original GT forum before 2000. This I'm sure

[tamera_lorraine]

yeah tama si @akthung ...maganda talaga yung GirlTalk dati..

nagjoin ako kase sobrang daming magandang topic, well managed ang forum

may mga group EB din sila unfortunately hindi ako nakakattend

andito pa ba yung mga ibang old member?

[anon]

^di lang naman ang GT ang "shadow of its old self" eh. Most of the online forum these days are the same. They peaked in the past when various online forum were introduced in the net. I'm sure there are old timers here using new nicks. But I also see some orig nicks around

[akthung]

^ are you the old anon? the one with the eerie hannibal like eye sa profile pic?


I personally would like to focus on GT, after all when i "joined" gt, it was imho the best forums at that time.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the oldies have new nicks specially if you were once a male Gtalker because continuing to be a male Gtalker has limits if i'm not mistaken? but anyway, i do not see the Talinhaga-ness any more. if they frequent GT, then maybe they're keeping their posts simple.
(I like seeing posts from Mr. Punch, City Hunter, Aquacharly and the like. seeing them makes me miss the rest.)

now there was a time when the oldies were often given a "warning." napakavisible with the new system. so you'd ask, why? bakit nagkaka warning? eh dati naman hindi? maybe it has something with the newbies and the new way of handling things.

speaking of newbies, grabe, dami mali mali spelling. and minsan text speak pa. i hope sana they'd take the time to polish things up. i don't mind grammar mistakes, as this we're not making formal letters here or academic ek ek. or kahit sa title man lang ng thread man lang sana, maging malinis.

ang maganda sa gt noon talaga may structure.

and for some reason mas marami nang pumapasok na tao who's in it for the money.

[sh1n3]

pati GAYtalkers naglipana na rin dito.

[carmilina]

^ hmmm... I met someone special in the original GT forum before 2000. This I'm sure

--ah ganun po ba? matagal na nga etong GT!

[anon]

@ akthung -- no, im not the same anon. back then i had 1-2 nicks which i forgot already, much less their passwords. and also back then, i was mainly a lurker, not much a poster.

+1 on your other points...but there are young newbies that make sensible posts and even remind me of old personalities.

i guess one factor in the 'decline' of quality in online forum these days is because the new generation is more into "me" thinking (Facebook, Twitter, 'selfies') than in the past where community interaction and sharing thrived...

but do we want to sound like two grumpy old men harking back to the golden years ba? 

[akthung]

well we go with the flow. ang standards naman tao din mag seset. they will
not believe until they hear it from others. but then, even after hearing from such peeps,
nasa current members lang din naman.

remembering the past is negative if we're grumpy about it. but nothing wrong if
we can beat the golden age the modern way.

[anon]

^ True. one thing i lament in GT these days is there seems to be a dearth of intelligent young men around to exchange wit and ideas with women newbies. ikaw na lang ata matino dito who contributes quality input. most of the Guytalkers nowadays are the typical dickheads one finds in male dominated forum

[minatay91]

^ korek.

aww you guys make me regret I didn't find this forum sooner. I saw rin in another
topic na yung previous topics may major purging and a lot of post counts decreased rin
because something happened sa forum noon nasayangan ako sa information doon. hayy

[anon]

^ and you, minatay91, represent the new breed in GT that reminds me of some of the witty old timers here. Tawa ako ng tawa dun sa kwento mo about your very vain male officemate na may GF. LOL!

[minatay91]

^ LOL dami na kayo natuwa thanks I guess?
sayang talaga I didn't discover the forum earlier. I'm
always expecting guys to give one liner answers, brief and concise. Rare lang talaga
makita ko yung mga nag.expound so I have no choice but to backread

and if there are other guys stalking lang, share naman kayo

[mysteryman]

I came from Cosmo & got bored. Lately, there are fewer active members there.


Since Cosmo & GT are both under Summit Media, I came across GT onetime & gave it a try. I registered few months ago but got so busy, I just started reading this month.


I'm single & I know I will meet Ms Right oneday. I'm a work in progress & I want to learn more about the female specie. So I can be better equipped & be the best man for her. I'll do everything necessary to ensure that I will be a good partner to her.


I'm pleasantly surprised to know that GT has more singles threads & more singles? Hehe.


Thanks GT, I'm learning a lot. Kudos to the good ladies & gentlemen of GT!

[mrgrey]

other forums have more male members and most posts are BS, mostly nauuwi sa asaran. I find women posts more honest.

men tends to "add" something to spice up a story
women tends to "subtract"

both are not the whole truth but I find it easier to deal with.

[chinita02]

i think, guys are evolving nowadays. they are getting more sensitive na.. hehe

[mrgrey]

guys are sensitive now as it was then

XY parin chromosome namin lol

The internet is just more accessible now 

[Chinito]

to be honest,  I joined GT to look for a potential date and to check girls point of view in courtship, sex, relationship among others.. 

[angelique_1523]
