*yawn* - orkut

[ #18020 ]
So, out of boredom one night, I accepted an invite to join Orkut. I finally got around to doing most of my profile, and started futzing around.

Am I missing something? Seems pretty boring to me so far really. I spend most of my time just clicking on the pics of the pretty women.

One interesting thing, though. There seem to be more computer geek types in "open" relationships/marriages than I ever thought, including someone I used to hang out with here from time to time. I never really understood that - seems odd to me. Well, ok, when I was *in college* I understood it just fine because, hey, I wanted a girlfriend *and* I wanted to nail the girl next door without feeling guilty. But, that's something quite different I think. :)

You can't tell just by looking if someone's gay or bi, nor what sort of relationship they're in. Even if you meet their SO you've no idea--besides just not being a topic of general conversation (You're not likely talking about your sex life either :) folks who're not in standard het relationships are usually more circumspect about things.
