My wife looked over my shoulder and read your post "where got such thing?" she asks. I reckon there's a great deal of opportunity for good social networking sites in Malaysia. But I wonder if any site has what you're looking for. I remember lavalife had an 'Intimate encounter' (or something) section a long time ago. I looked in it a couple of times, and one time I saw an appealing photo, was about to write a message when I noticed the bit in their profile about "pre-op TS". There's a well known saying in advertising in the West: sex sells, but as with any financial transaction:
Caveat emptor.
You shouldn't give up - I reckon you'll easily find one out of three (serious, sex or friendship)!
My impression of the mygamester site is that someone put a lot of work into it (I like the artwork), but it hasn't got a community - it looks empty and unused. I don't know how to solve the 'no community' problem, they either need some very charismatic friends to join up and be active for a while, or some very attractive
sock puppets - wikipedia tells me this technique is called
astroturfing.
Perhaps Malaysia is a hard place to start community sites, in the West it's very common for people to rally behind any cause, no matter how hopeless, irrelevant or ill-conceived it is. I don't really know why it's like that, but I think it must make it easier for people to start community networks. In Malaysia, every time I think of some idea that depends on a network of willing contributors, I'm reminded of that cartoon I saw soon after I came to Malaysia (I can't find it on the Web - if anybody has seen it somewhere, let me know!) with the guy in the army recruitment office, looking at the employment contract with a calculator in his hand, saying "Where got profit?" or something...
Better type something in to one of my own projects...
