Antisocial Bishes?

[Dohmar]

Heyas

I've been to more than a few meets. and I have to ask.

Why are people so unkind?

No, really. I walk around the meets with a grin on my grille, introduce myself and start talking about shite. How come so many of u guys are hands-in-pocket type lookin-at-tarmac type non mingling elitist mf's ?

Seriously. It shits me. I dont go to these meets to say howdy to people and get the same sorta response that I might get if I try to teach my labrador a card trick. Sure shes looking at me but what the frig, is there any activity in the brain? Crikey.

All I'm asking guys, is that u take the cork out of your arse and say hello to people u dont know. Mingle a bit. Lifes to short.

K. Thx. Bai.

Laik. Dohmar.

dont feel no love from the sau crew hey not all people find it easy to go up and speak to someone they dont know ive had the same thing happen to me but there are also some people on here that are willing to talk think it all comes down to how we all feel on the night

[rad100]

ur not wrong!!!

its a car CLUB!! were not gonna get an sausa car club going if we cant be one group!!!!

[ISC-Performance]

haha little random but ok. I know what you mean though at meet ups people tend to chill by them selves or in there own little groups etc. Each to there own though, If you cant spark up a convo with one person just walk along to the next,lol. You drive a white R32 GTR like myself so I'll make sure to introduce myself at the next meet.

hey its the car scene, people like to bitch/complain, be anit-social, think they are better than other people, who cares, just find the guys who are nice to chat to and make new friends. and i think a lot of people are shy with the car scene and duno what to say about what. introduce urself first to the people hands in pockets and they will probably chat. if not rip a skid :lol:

[SLED]

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into it Ben......I think some of the younger ones might be a bit shy. I get on with some folk better than others and sometimes I'm guilty of not spreading myself around so I hope no one takes it wrong and thinks that I'm not approachable.......come and say hi peeps, I won't tear your head off, lol.

[Murry33]

hey steve what are you doing on here? lol

oh yeah and about the car scene thing, meh people are wierd these days........thats all i'm gonna say hah

[skylineguy19]

last night was too cold to be sociable lol, i stood there trying not to freeze, still chatted to people i had no idea who they were, but agreed, were all there for the same reason, i normally chat to people when im out there, if i know them or not, if someone comes upto me i'll definately have a convo with them.

[nos man]

hate that shit! on the first cruise i only met a few guys! but most people were like look at me and i look back and they turn and go a different direction! what's wrong? do i really look that dodgey?

anyway Pete! as for you, you're big and was wearing a harley davison tshirt and rocked up in a mint chopper just spelt bikie to me! not insulting you in anyway but it was just my ignorant judgement but it still didn't stop me from saying gday

Ben, I've had the same experiences some times, but it takes all kinds. Most are friendly, but just take a while to warm up. I put it down in part to the fact that I am so much older than many o0f you guys, but those who have had a chat probably realise I am the biggest kid out there and they are much more mature than me.

My other theory is that if we had social skills we would have girlfriends rather than cars. LOL

[madbung]

That's sad, going to a meet where every one stands around and nobody actually meets.

Sadly I think it's a side effect of the playstation generation, when I was young we all played in the streets or parks and knew every kid in the estate. It was a very social upbringing, with the generations coming through today a lot of them don't have the social skills.. reason being social skill are learnt through social interaction and become natural/comfortable over time. You don't get it free in the ps3 bundle, p.c or sitting alone in a room chatting online. As you've seen first hand, throw them in a social situation and they'll all just mill around until something happens....which seldom does.

We've bred a generation of malformed/unadjusted nublets.

Offer you're hand to shake and they'll take it as some sort of adversarial test.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of good-social younger people, they seem to be the ones who's parent/s actually had a go at parenting instead of leaving it up to the TV/ps3.

[Damo_R34]

I think its more of a case that people lack the confidence to just approach a group and introduce themselves. I know i do, its no crime. Its just how i am.

I did recognise alot of cars, i saw yours just before we were about to leave Dohmar, but no-one was next to the car, otherwise i would have come introduced myself. Next time, ill bring my "Hello my name is stickers" to make it easier for everyone

Oh yeah I'll still go to the meets and that. I just think people need to loosen up and lrn2party... I was the bloke in the black coat incidentally, and while I spoke to some cool people I'm more talking about people hanging around in little grps. And of course the ones lacking in confidence *shrug* I'm not going to eat your brains or anything...

[MikeyGTRmike]
