Howdy, Folks!

A search of "internet stalking" produces the following:
[ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking[/ame]
"Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone.
It has been defined as the use of information and communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group of individuals, to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization. The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual purposes, and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress."

Stalking? No.
I am not suggesting "...the use of information and communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group of individuals, to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization," nor am I suggesting "...false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual purposes, and gathering information for harassment purposes."
Let me reiterate - this is NOT the behavior I am describing. Feel free to go back and reread(or actually read, since it doesn't appear you did) my posts.
What I am describing is using social networking tools to be able to get into contact with a large number of women in a relatively short amount of time for the purposes of a hookup.
It's more akin to "adult friend finder" without all the drama or fees.
How in the world is it cyber-stalking if you friend a person on a social networking site, they GIVE you large amounts of information about themselves, then you use that information in determining in whether or not you want to contact them and possibly get together in the real world?
Is it because there may be potential sexual intercourse involved at a later time?
Get over it.
That's called "dating," and has been happening for a LONG time. That's what dating is for - determining if the person you are meeting might be a potential mate for you, i.e., someone you may have sex with in the future.
Main difference here is - no intention of any sort of emotional attachment.
Let's look at that definition of "stalking":
"Psychology and behaviors
People characterized as stalkers may have a mistaken belief that another person loves them..."
I harbor no such fantasies.
Say one contacts one of these ladies, and says, "not interested in meeting you." You go onto the next one in a very long list. that's not stalking - that's fishing.
Folks do it in clubs all the time, but it's not stalking there - how is this behavior stalking?
The question:
"If your were friends with your friends, wouldn't you already know their friends from attending similar parties?"
- Have you ever had a party where you invite XYZ friend, but don't invite ABC friend because you KNOW ABC won't get along with XYZ, and you want to introduce XYZ to GHI Friend?
- Your lady friend has a party for her Austin friends, but doesn't invite anyone from San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Kyle, Roundrock, or Georgetown because it's too far. You're invited, and only meet the "Austin" crowd.
- Your lady friend has a party for her Austin friends, but doesn't invite anyone from north of the river because it's too far. You're invited, and only meet the "South Austin" crowd(figure out the other possible demographics on this scenario; I know you can...).
- Mathematics: Your lady friend works for a company that employes 3000 people. She is friendly with approximately 200 of them. She's had 3 parties this year, each one with 15-20 people, every party it's been a different crowd. If the remaining 140-155 people all got into their cars and drove over to your house, and each one ate exactly 3 Pringles Potato Chips in your living room, how many ounces of crumbs would be created before you figured out you have no idea who the hell these people are?
I recommend a LEGAL, easy way to meet folks for a potential LEGAL hookup from the comfort of one's own home, and you accuse me of CRIMINAL behavior.
How DARE you.
Oh, I forgot - sorry, Folks. Mustn't feed the trolls. Don't worry; won't happen again...
