This and That
Things I Have Learned from Internet Dating Sites;
1) Most men who use internet dating sites simply want to locate sex partners.
2) Some men who use internet dating sites get very angry if you don't want to have sex with them.
3) Often, the username will offer great insights to the inner workings of the user . . . Examples may include;
'NDSLuT2DAy' and 'PrtyBoi4U' . This might illuminate the greater or lesser depth of that user.
4) Some guys are semi-stealth. These ones seem to be the better-looking and brighter ones. They say stuff like, 'to be with me, a woman must be in touch with her inner spirituality and the sensuous nature of the universe' and then later on, they mention that they are in a relationship. . . *OH*. I get it.
5) Somewhere in there must be mentioned the uneducated (just wow) and the PEOPLE WHO WRITE IN ALL CAPS NO MATTER WHAT. Words fail.
6) Worst of all from where I'm sitting? Really nice people who have some kind of a broken thing inside them that makes it impossible for them to form (or even consider forming) normal relationships with others. Yet they long for connection. That really rather makes me sad just to think about it. I ran into just one so far, but my heart goes out to him. No other part of me will join that, but still. He seemed so genuine and, once I figured out his deal, so lost.
So, for all my new friends (2Hawt4Yew, Male4U, Yng&hrd. . .) good luck and let's all keep open minds.

Or then again
Speaking of which, we watched Survivor last night, and in a break the network advertised a new TV show which is about swingers. As in, actual swingers. On TV. Prime timish. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Re: Or then again
But why would I want to attend contra dances? Sheva wept. I have not time for my actual friends, hardly, and none at all for stuff like that. The place would be full of yogurt weavers. As it happens, I'm already a member of a gym, so . . .?
Online is lovely since you can see, right up front, what the persons intentions are. No months-long dating thing only to discover that he's commitment phobic or in love with his mama or whatever.
Swingers. As in swingers? Ha ha ha ha ha. Lots of orange polyester?
