looners and geeks are terms that do not define young Muslims and Musalimahs.
Hmmmm
You are very intelligent .
Re: Are most people on this forum, quiet geeks and looners in real life ?
does it matter if anyone is a loner or a geek? thats the thing about internet, interact without your usual prejudices lurking.
Re: Are most people on this forum, quiet geeks and looners in real life ?
Am I a loner? No. A geek? ABSOLUTELY. I'm an outgoing, loud mouthed, opinionated SOB in real life. Believe it or not, I tone it down here on GS. GS is one of very few forums I frequent that aren't work/technology related. I come to GS to try to maintain some of my roots and identity. I work in a very white environment, my wife is a white American, so it's nice to come out here and talk to and read about other desis.

most of the people posting in the day time is usually from work, :D
so not a geek but kaam chor.
You caught me!
The Pakistani kaam chor mentality runs in our Pakistani blood!:D

About three years ago (thank you mister website) I decided to refuse the truth that is the universal desi condition. I like to believe that I come from both nobler and more intelligent stock.

i mostly use it when im like, stuck at home and have exams and am procrastinating and doing everything other than studying. and also when i feel someone is talking some stoopid **** and needs to be corrected
Re: Are most people on this forum, quiet geeks and looners in real life ?
looners? quiet? maybe, in a society where socialising means going out to drink alcohol...and dancing in clubs half naked! superficial relationships...we're supposed to seem more than to mean, but I mean, and I think internet is where those who want to mean more than to seem are hanging out these days! I am quiet because I prefer to shut up when people are badmouthing or saying bull****s. I am quiet because I prefer water or juice than alcohol at the pub/club
i understand what you're saying, but i really do think its sort of a one-sided view point... there are lots of places out there and lots of things to do that don't include alcohol and dancing if thats not your thing, and lots of ways of meeting people offline. i just feel like meeting someone online isn't a substitute for having a life in the real world, and if thats what the thinking is, then its not a good thing. and i'm not saying thats what you're thinking either - its just an observation.
and like others on here have said, there are loners and weirdos everywhere! haha i don't think the internet is exclusive to them.
