Golly, gee whiz, gosh and darn! Ever try to be  irresistible, enticing, original and otherwise charming to 50 potential sex partners in one night? I just finished, and lemme tell you, it's exhausting!
 
Let me back up a bit. I'd been getting "invitations" from various women to join this amateur sex site _ a place where one ostensibly may hook up for 1-on-1's, orgies, bi-encounters, BDSM or whatever is a couple's mutual desire.  One of the come-ons finally hit me on a quirky evening, and I went to the site and signed up. After all,  it was free,  right? Well, yes _ free to sign up. But if one wanted to contact anyone at the site, now, that costs money!
 
The thing is, I was totally honest _ within reason, I didn't put myself down by mentioning negatives, but certainly I was honest about my age and location, since after all these are crucial factors in real life LOL _ Yet suddenly, over a period of about three days, lo,  there were about 50 emails from women who ostensibly wanted my aging body, and with no strings attached!! Amazing!
 
I couldn't reply to them unless I paid a subscription fee, so I plunked my dollars down and got busy. It was only the equivalent of a few beers, after all _ my standard measure of relative costliness. I paid solely out of compassion, of course _ it is sooo sad and dismaying to have put one's heart (and more) on the line by initiating contact and then to get no reply, not even the courtesy of a gentle "no thanks, luv."
 
At first, since the only reason I had gone to the site was curiosity, I filled in only a bare-bones profile, just enough to be able to gain access. In light of the response, I went back in posted a full profile. That is how I came to be "making nice" to 50 women in one night. I mentioned that I now had a full profile and suggested they might wish to take a second look.
 
The emails I had received were quite varied. Some rather obviously were of a "form letter" type, carefully prepared to fit all circumstances with only minor adjustment at best. Some took me to task _ some gently and some in a testy tone, but directly _ for having said so little in my initial profile.
 
Several alleged that the internal email was the second or third attempt to contact me and if I were going to be that dilatory in response, I could go ... uh, well I could just buzz off. Of course, there had been no previous contact attempt, unless the site were incredibly prone to malfunction, so I figured them for a ploy _ guilt him out at the outset _ though why anyone would think that to be an enticing approach eludes me. What do you think of it?
 
Some approaches were, understandably given the nature of the site, overtly sexual _ some coy, some brazen, some crude, some delightfully imaginative. Suffice to say, they were quite varied.
 
Go to the profiles of these women, as I did, however, and mostly they read pretty much like those at any matchmaking site, replete with such a range of attributed virtues that one wonders how these people were still available. Why hadn't they been snapped up eons ago, now to be happily ensconced in the perfect relationship they all said they seek?
 
Perfect relationships? Geeee, had they lost track of the casual sex that supposedly brought them to the site in the first place?
 
Some, frankly, were totally blah. Manufacturing some response to those was difficult.
 
Some, however, were thoughtful and imaginative in their approach. Some seemed to be people I'd really like to know. These were, for me, the standouts. With them, I tended to forget that the ostensible reason for listing ourselves was lust, not love, and I took extra care in my responses. I mean, I am long single, after all _ as long as I was here and making the effort (and had paid the  tab),  shouldn't I at least give both lust AND love a chance?
 
There's yet one additional aspect to this story. It seems that by signing up backed by money, I automatically was added to two additional matchmaking sites. These obviously are operated by the same UK-oriented organization. Those two sites are more for love than lust _ they don't have a section in which one describes one's sexual activities, interests, practices and hopes, for instance.
 
In these sites, I haven't been much of a sensation _ my presence has resulted in only two approaches, rather than 50. Does that mean that love is more discerning than lust? I would think my age would be an equal deterrent at all these sites, but apparently lust is more tolerant than love. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, LOL (which may stand for "leer out loud" rather than the usual).
 
On the other hand, from these other two I already have an offer of marriage _ as soon as I bring the woman to the USA from Ghana, she will stand by me, making my breakfast and my bed forever, till death do us part. Uh oh.
 
Ah well, there's no end to this story _ yet. As I expected, once I offered more serious information via a full profile at the sex site, the interest dropped off with amazing rapidity. I won't be hard put to keep up with the response now *s*. However, perhaps surprisingly, some are undaunted, professing themselves ready for Round Two in this bout of love taps. Thus you may hope this blog may continue.
 
Up to a point, anyway.

===

I have been hesitant to post this blog _ it seems perhaps exploitational and crass, kind of sneering at folk behind their backs when they have entered into the situation in  all innocence. Well, in sort of innocence. So, some of you may wish to take me to task severely.  However, I think it has a potential to evoke lots of interesting comments _ one of the functions of Woyano, so _ obviously _ I've gone ahead. After all, haven't you always Wanted to Know? And, they even have sex in Second Life. So, fire at will  *wince _ duck.*

    Dang. That's quite an adventure, earsz! It must be equally exciting and scary to be on such a quest. Be careful out there! You definitely need to keep us up-to-date on this one.

      Earsz..first of all- great blog- love that you're putting it out there!! And always remember..it is not the critic that counts...

      So what is the next step I might ask- round two- is that where you will meet them or move on to a phone call to try to judge what they really are like?

      That is always the issue my friends have had with the dating sites- how long to do you try to get to know them before you meet them- is it easier to let them down if you haven't had much interaction previously or is it all a matter of safety.

      I have met many people from the internet- via VIP - but was never looking for romantic situations out of any of those meetings- so I think its different when you meet for friendship vs. potential hookup/match up. Anyone else feel that way?

      Def. keep us posted on how it goes! :)

        I met my best friend online, there used to be this chat site and I would go on it in the teen years, and we would always be in the same room talking to other regulars. A few years ago the chat system on the site shut down but I still talked to my friend over msn for a long time after that. Then after a year or so I moved to the same city as her for work and we decided to get together (as friends) so we did and we got along great! We never thought about jumping into a romantic relationship and I think we have a better friendship because of it. So I would agree with you in saying that it's better to meet up as friends instead of hooking up, when I went to meet my friend for the first time it was very relaxed and less nerve racking then I probably would have been meeting for first date type of thing.

          Good on ya bud! I filled out a matchmaking thing a little while ago and after filling it out the thing said it was "unable to match you with anyone at this time you pathetic loser" So congrats on getting the 50 right away!

              What i have found or heard is that generally people who fake a photo will never really meet up with you

              Plus- quality of photo helps- if it looks photoshopped or done up professionally good chance its a fake..

              candids..party pics.. "hey this was me at the wedding" USUALLY are not faked..but then again.. one never knows.. it can be a crap shoot

                  That's a great story, how has it worked out??? I have never looked for love online, but I remember once in 98 or 99 (yes, this sounds like I'm gonna tell a "gather around the story and let me tell you how it was when I was young, but nevermind.) I went to match.com and I couldn't resist to write an add where I asked for mailfriends. I got one which really intrigued me, from a bloke in San Fransisco, it has developed into one of my best friends, we send long mails, chat over the phone, send photos and books to eachother and he tries to improve my English, lucky for me, he is very patient...lol. Also, I used to hang in an 3dworld ten years ago, those folks I still talk to and have had several of them from other countries staying here when they've been on vacation.
                  Anyway, come on, how did it go? Good, I hope!

                    What timing! *s* See "Matchmaker II" within a day or three. Foreshadowing (or dead giveaway, LOL): I just closed my account.
