Ok, I love to shop... more so than my wife. When I came across this site, I thought it would be fun to see how it works.
I am looking for friends on here that can help me learn how this site works.
I have mainly selected men to be my friends on here only because I thought I would have more in common with the things guys buy than with what women buy, however I don't mine having women friends on here. :-)
I am open to all friendship especially if we can be of help to one another…..

Thanks for the add, and welcome aboard! I'm probably not the typical American guy, in that I am quite interested in the sort of stuff the ladies are shopping for, but then there's talking about that stuff, versus the stuff I'm actually buying. I send you a couple pointers to other cool guys around here. Still, a lot of the ladies have a lot to say about things like gadgets, books, movies, etc -- stuff that really transcends genders. You can tell a lot by the lists people have. I have yet to see anyone discussing power tools though.
Looks like you're on the right track -- find some people who share some of your interests, and check out what they have posted: lists, blogazines, and the like. I met a lot of my friends initially by voting on random polls and adding my thoughts -- people just started adding me. Then they send you stuff to look at, you comment on it, you post stuff and send it to your friends and they comment on it -- it just becomes this big cycle.
I will say one thing that's kind of weird for me is that the teenage girls outnumber the men like you and me who at the very least aren't getting any younger. :-) At first I was like, "Am I going to look like some sort of Internet creep?" So I might watch what I say a bit closer to make sure I'm not misinterpreted, but just like any group dynamic, now that I've gotten to know a number of them well and vice-versa, I'm much more comfortable with what's within the bounds of good taste. I suppose if you're just interested in talking about gadgets and stuff, that might be less of an issue, but it's certainly something I think about when I'm telling someone exactly what I think about that dress. :-)
