Send many messages, fail to receive many responses. How does this work?
I would love to get feedback on how to get more involved with this site.
I have been unable to get girls to write back and engage in conversations. Not withstanding that many may not like the way I look, getting no responses in writing (many emoticons, no actual messages) is making the experience on catholic match a disappointing one. Any suggestions or is there a proper protocol that must be observed?

**SIGH** Here we go again!
There seems to be a bit of confusion on if Itachi could defeat ToBI before he got the rinnegan... -__- really??? Itachi stood no chance at all! And im going to list facts on the situation since ppl dont read the manga!
Biggest misconception is: "Tobi was afraid of itachi, thats why he didnt attack the village".... Really? What Manga was anybody who believe this reading? Let me list the real FACTS FROM THE MANGA!
So STFU Little kids (i say Little kids because most kids under the age of 16 are the ones who seem to think this non-sense and cannot read the manga obviously). But im not down yet!
Now im going to go on the Battle aspect of the fight and how Tobi is just better! Im going to list how Tobi Counters everything Itachi has to offer!
This is the most easiest thing to counter! First off ima list what itachi himself STATED; http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/142/15 Right here is where he says some own with my blood (which obito is a full blooded Uchiha) so itachi would not even try to use a costful Jutsu on tobi (or Madara as he knows him to be). But more then that, Tobi would know what to expect and most likely know how to break it (disrupt your chakra like sasuke did). So in short Obito>>>>Genjutsu
Next we Have Taijutsu... Really? Tobi who can read movements from Might Guy Himself http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/596/11 whos is a better Taijutsu fighter then him btw. Not only that he was battling Naruto KM as well at the same damn time and winning! Plus the fact if Itachi gets to close and grabbed he is getting sucked up! GG Itachi! Obito FTW in this department!
This is where things gets fun!!! Im going to highlight itachi's known "advantages":
Again with Kamui this is the most useless of itachis 3 techs! Itachi would never lay a hit on tobi! We all know susanoo has no defense from below:
And keep in mind Obito Knows everything about the sharinagn and any version it has to offer! He would know about everything Itachi is doing and how it works!
Totsuka Blade has to pierce to seal anything it wants.
And as we know with Kamui this will never in a million years happen!!!
So in short anything Itachi can do that would be major will be useless based off Manga facts!!!
If itachi gets in range Tobi unleashes giant projectiles from his Kamui Dimension:
But besides all the manga facts i provided Itachi was sick and TOBI KNEW IT!!! Itachi healthy looses, Itachi sick gets RAPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
P.S. If shit gets real Izanagi instantly solves that problem! And dont say "he has izanami to counter that" when izanami takes forever to set up and preform and Tobi knows about it and would know how to counter it!

- Feb 13:
- MacFarlane gets Oscar-hosting advice from Crystal
He's a big-band crooner, a voice-over actor and the king of an animation empire whose alter ego sounds like a British B-movie evil genius, drawn in the body of a baby.
Seth MacFarlane is an acquired taste, much like the racy humor in his hilariously raunchy television show, "Family Guy." If you saw his movie "Ted," you know that among his specialties are homoerotic, bestial and teddy-bear humor. Once MacFarlane calls the Oscars proceedings to order Sunday night, the ABC censors will have bleep fingers poised.
Expect boundary pushing, or at least the feeling that something unexpected could enliven the event, when host MacFarlane helps navigate the 85th Academy Awards, which kick off locally at 6:30 p.m. Sunday on Channel 7. (Note ABC will take a page from the Super Bowl's pregame hoopla and make a day of it, with red-carpet coverage beginning at 3 p.m. E! will join in from 3:30-6:30.)
By handing the reins to MacFarlane, the Academy has signaled its hope for buzzworthiness: MacFarlane as host is more likely to light up social media than a veteran comic like Steve Martin (he hosted in 2003 and 2010), a smart satirist like Jon Stewart (2008), or even an awkward pairing like Anne Hathaway and James Franco (2011).
David Letterman (1995) was a boring host. Franco was barely present. But MacFarlane is likely to err on the side of impropriety and may draw in the tough-to-snare younger demographics.
Clearly, the Academy would rather court danger than irrelevance. Mr. "Family Guy" represents Fox TV animation, an off-color movie project and, possibly, a segment of the audience that wasn't alive when Billy Crystal first hosted (in 1990).
We're well past the mass-appeal, gentle Oscar emcees of the Bob Hope and Johnny Carson era. The tone this year may be closer to Chris Rock territory. ( Rock hosted the awards in 2005 with refreshingly edgy jokes.)
But MacFarlane is only the figurehead of what could be a heavily musical evening in the hands of producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the team behind the film versions of "Chicago" and "Hairspray." Zadan and Meron are also the executive producers of TV's ode to Broadway, "Smash," but don't hold that against them. The pair have done more to bring musical theater to the masses than anyone in recent showbiz history.
Continuing their efforts to open the world of musical performances to a new generation, they've enlisted all-time greats Shirley Bassey and Barbra Streisand to be highlights.
Adele will sing "Skyfall." Hugh Jackman ("Suddenly" from "Les Miserables") and Scarlett Johansson ("Before My Time" from "Chasing Ice") may perform their nominated songs, although nothing has been confirmed. And MacFarlane will probably belt his, as co-writer of the song "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from "Ted."
Norah Jones will serve the more contemporary music tastes.
Among the moments the producers have tipped in advance:
• A "Chicago" reunion. Zadan and Meron's film adaptation of "Chicago" won the best picture Oscar 10 years ago. Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere and Queen Latifah will commemorate the win.
• A Bond salute. Dame Shirley will be part of the tribute to the James Bond movie franchise, celebrating its 50th anniversary year. Bassey recorded three Bond theme songs: "Goldfinger" (1964), "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971), and "Moonraker" (1979).
• Streisand's first Oscars appearance in 36 years. Zadan and Meron promise "a very special performance" and, given the rarity, it's bound to be. As long as it doesn't involve her sharing the stage with MacFarlane.
