Erica posted yesterday in my comments that she has made some good friends from online, and I have to agree with her, I have too. I started on AOL in 1995 and over the years have met some wonderful people, had a few dates and all have been good experiences. I rarely go to a chat room anymore unless I'm extremely bored, out of something to read, write...or can't sleep.

Saturday about 6:30pm I decided to visit a chat room, so I look through the listings and see Michigan over 40, ok, maybe some sane chat going on. After a little over 30 minutes in this room, I had 4 letters of introduction, 3 phone numbers and easily 10 IM's.

The majority of these were from men under 40 who "like older women". I had one 22 year old male tell me he "could give me the thrill of my life". I told him he was too young to even know how let alone learn how to give me the thrill of my life, it takes years of practice to perfect. His response "teach me". Oh lord.

I have nothing in my profile to attract this attention, only 3 words. My name, my location and a one word quote "Karma" . That's it. So I can only imagine what the women are getting who are advertising their wares in a comprehensive profile are getting. Who knows, maybe it's exactly what they want.

Now I was invited to Bumpers a local club, dinner, a movie, to a park to watch the eclipse and from one more skeptical male..a cup of coffee.

Of course the majority all made it clear that gratuituous sex was available without preliminaries if I so choosed. The funny part was I asked 3 of them if they ever got lucky with this approach. All said no, but they keep on trying. Never could get them to comprehend maybe that's why they are sitting home alone on a Saturday night too.
