Who said anything about not having a full life? I just don't enjoy mob sceans, I am not shy on a one on one basis or in small groups.

Brianbear - if you're too shy to meet fellas then get help with that. Seriously. It's like saying "I'm afraid to go outdoors", it mean you've got a social problem & you're gonna miss out on a lot of life unless you fix it. Join Toast Masters, see a therapist, do some roleplaying, get a coach, whatever it takes, but don't be complacent and accept "I'm too shy" as reason for being in a corner / alone / disconnected. Everyone is somewhat shy, but if it is interfering with your ability to have a full life then you need to address it.

GentleBen, I've done that, still ended up looking at a wall of backs, I have also worked registration for bear events. For the former, they are just too tall and I am just to shy to inject myself into a conversation. As to working the registration desk, your just to busy at most events to do any thing else

GentleBen: 02-Oct-2006 13:46:02
Brianbear, don't just sit in the corner! sit (or stand) next to some other guys (like at the bar, if it ain't 3 deep in bears). make a comment/observatio n. ease into chat, then go from there...

GentleBen: 02-Oct-2006 13:43:35
manny, try working a registration desk at an event sometime. guaranteed you'll meet people that way (I have)!

choochoo68: 02-Oct-2006 12:25:16

Bruin: 02-Oct-2006 06:15:46
Maybe I should do sketches for "Project Runway" to execute.

Brianbear: 02-Oct-2006 06:08:28
Now that is what I call an entrance, and a damn spectacular dress as well

Bruin: 02-Oct-2006 06:02:13
Constance makes an entrance. Read "Bear With Me"

emanoyhl: 02-Oct-2006 05:05:22

choochoo68: 01-Oct-2006 12:19:22
if i can't have a hat i'd much rather have a t-shirt than a mouse pad...can i change mine? lol

emanoyhl: 01-Oct-2006 05:17:58
it's neck and neck at the voting booth

choochoo68: 30-Sep-2006 20:18:57
aaahhhhh yeah i know how that is

Bruin: 30-Sep-2006 17:04:23
Just...too many people, Chooch.

Brianbear: 30-Sep-2006 15:47:59
I can understand that Bruin, when ever I go to a bear event I find myself sitting in a corner faceing "The Great Wall of Backs", and while they are attractive backs, it is a bit intimidateing looking at a solid wall of leather and flannel clad bear backsides

choochoo68: 30-Sep-2006 12:25:51
emaoyhl when you figure it out drop me a line

choochoo68: 30-Sep-2006 12:24:45
too many people wanting your autograph bruin?

emanoyhl: 30-Sep-2006 07:19:50
i have a hard time meeting people - anyone have any advice?

Bruin: 29-Sep-2006 21:40:17
There's a reason I avoid Bear runs, Chooch.

choochoo68: 29-Sep-2006 20:08:24
meant you wouldn't want to be inundated with bears

Bruin: 29-Sep-2006 19:37:25
Here's hoping you get your wish.

choochoo68: 29-Sep-2006 19:31:01
ahh ok...would want to be inundated with bears lol

Bruin: 29-Sep-2006 17:28:29
Chooch: There's a difference between welcoming ONE guest and being obligated to take in any/everyone who drops by.

Bruin: 29-Sep-2006 17:03:06
GB - Generally, no. However, I find the implied requisite...odd.
