... issues and tissues with a touch of the spicy from the spirit hag ...
Published on May 3, 2004 By mignuna In Sex & Romance
the internet is now a major player in the romance world.

in the good old days, you had to go somewhere where there were actual people in order to "fall in love".

now all you have to do, apparently, is register "online" at an "agency" and wait for your dream partner to materialise from the depths of cyberspace.

i have a friend that did this. i will call him clay ... 'cause that's his name. . clay is 29 yrs old, funny, clever, interesting, and cute. he is also shy.

he did not mention his shyness in his profile ...

(... he really should have).

he did include a photo in his profile ...

(... he really shouldn't have).

the combination of a cute photo and a brief but well-written profile is all that some women appear to need to mount (pardon my pun) a quest to send the most sexually explicit and graphic emails to an otherwise total stranger.

clay is mortified that they somehow felt it necessary to respond in that way. not to mention confused. one girl even offered to do something to him that he claims to have never heard of before !.

when i enquired as to the "boost" he may have gotten from all this adoration, he replied simply that he felt much worse than before he joined. he explained the very peculiar from of disgust he feels when women misguidedly force sexuality down your throat in the belief that it is expected of them ... by the man.

he had replied to one girl in a mildly flirtatious way, as very clever men can do, and she returned a rapid fire volley of smut and innuendo that was just embarrassing to read. another girl told him she was masturbating over his photo ... one even looked up his phone number and phoned to offer to meet him for sex.

males dream come true ? ... not bloody likely !.

by clays' way of thinking, anybody with so little regard for themselves and such a misguided idea of "what men want" is to be avoided like the plague ... which is exactly what he is doing.

last time we spoke, clay had discontinued his dating agency membership. i don't blame him.

his desire to know at least the surname of someone before he has sex with has made him a dinosaur in the instant-gratification world of internet dating.

but a dinosaur that's now content to be one ... at least for as long as it takes him to work up the nerve to ask a "real" girl out ... for something much smaller than an orgy ...

... how about a little kiss, first ?

i did this. i will call myself Michael ... 'cause that's my name. . I am 29 yrs old, funny, clever, interesting, and cute. I am also shy.


I can't recall if I mentioned my shyness in my profile. 


perhaps online dating sites are different here in America than they are in Australia.  I found myself a very nice and respectable woman online.  We've been together for about 8 months now... There have been some ups & downs of course, but things are now stronger than ever... There's very little (if any) chance that we would have met had it not been for match.com...


so let me officially go on the record to say that while online dating may not work for everyone, it has worked for my girlfriend & me... you know what they say about throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

as a side note, I have to encourage you all to read my article on women taking their clothes off... Link

i'm glad that your version of the story had a much happier ending.

Mignuna I like your title for this post, it's real fitting. These days you can buy a wife on the internet that is ready to cook, clean, and due other wifely duties. It's as if there is no need for love really . I think eharmony.com asks you like 500 questions and then matches you with someone that answers similar to you. I still prefer the old fashioned way of asking a girl out, it's much more of a rush. Although I'd be open to meeting someone from one of those dating websites if they had a lot in common with me.

Just for the sake of argument, what is the name of this place full of wanton, willing women? Just so I can be sure to avoid it. Wouldn't want to accidently go there and be seduced over and over again you know. So... um... just to preserve my purity... what was that address?? Pretty please????

ooookay, lads, back in your cages.

smartaz ! naughty boy ! *cracks whip*

and YOU, psychx ... i read your first comment and i thought ... "ah, psychx is such a deep thinker ... not getting drawn into any of the smutty aspects" and lo and behold (whilst i admit you were encouraged by smartaz) i still have to say ... i'm really impressed !!!!. hehe. .

nobody will believe me, but i didn't ask him for the address. i wasn't interested in that part.

... but i will, i will.

you do realise though, that it's in australia ? ... which means the only way you could communicate is ... yep, you guessed it ... what do you think i WROTE this damn thing for. did you learn nothing ?...

okay, okay, so y'all think it's funny ... ok, so i think it's funny too, but come on ! ... i'm a girl !.. i'm supposed to have some moral responsibility here !!!.

i should be saying: "shame on all of you for not coming in here and saying: "oh mig, how simply awful for your friend, pet, to have been seeking a spiritual connection and to have been instead treated like a lump of meat. now we understand how women feel ... we have long hated women looking at us as sex objects and would like our minds appreciated. thanks, mig, now we will be kind to women when their insecurity causes them to offer us sex in the mistaken belief that we expect it. we are all going to be good boys from now on. (especially me, psychx)"

i will instead say:i am soooo chuffed that pshycx said something dirty in here, lol, and i do think it would be funny to send eric in there actually, to report his findings. i often wonder at the possibility of ju users conducting "social experiments" and blogging the results. so eric ... how about it ? ... plus, i know smartaz is dying to go and look, so i shouldn't be mean about it, i guess.

so, i decided to ask clay for the address, and i'll just have to live in hope that you actually got something deeper out of that article ... just a tiny point, even ...

i might feel somewhat better about posting this:

(and eric, don't forget your photo, petal !!!!) ... Link

ps: psychx, i thought you were about 47. . lol. sorry !. mig XX

interesting how today women on a whole are so much more like men than the real women that we fantasize about. a woman who acts like a man is not a real woman and how many guys are looking for real woman. they are a rariety and something that is a treasure. by the way i am only 20 and i realize this.

then i hope for your sake, benjamin, that you can somehow retain that mindset after the women of the world do their best to make your life a misery because of your truthfulness.

thanks for your comment.
