I signed on last night to see I had a mail waiting for me. Hoping it was from one of my friends that I write, I clicked on the link to my mailbox, only to find the announcement that I could receive mails all I wanted... I just could not read them.

Several of the other "adult naked fun dating" websites also had this feature: you could preview who was sending you messages, but you could not read them, nor could you chat with them, etc. At the time, I thought that I was pleased that FriendFinder-x had not gone down that route.

And, yet, here we are.

Personally, I am pissed. The same folks who not only couldn't protect their customer information, but they also didn't tell us that they had been hacked until after the media broke the story, now wants me to pay out my hard earned money so that I can have the same privileges I used to have for free - oh, and some other handy ones, as well. They've been hacked once; my account was one they originally announced hadn't been, then it had been, then it was undetermined if it had been or not.

This is a business. Their only job is to provide a service, and make money. If not enough people are paying for the service, you can do a few different things: raise membership prices; limit access to paying members; further limit site privileges to paying members; fire folks, or outsource their jobs to save money; or shut down. Which choice was best?
Raise membership rates
Limit access to paying customers only
Further limit site privileges
Fire/Outsource jobs
Shut down the site
Some combination of the above (feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments)
Another possibility that I did not mention (again, leave a comment)

What is October memorable for...?
Posted:Oct 1, 2015 7:46 pm
Last Updated:Oct 2, 2015 6:57 pm

For me, it's Halloween.

As a , we got to wander the neighborhood, collecting candy we normally wouldn't get to eat, wearing costumes, getting to strut our stuff. Later on, it was passing out the candy.

Costumes have always been a big part of Halloween for me. I got to be someone else. I got to wear clothes no one else would.

Then again, October, fittingly enough, was the month I got married to my first wife.

I still love costumes, but, now, I find my taste in costumes running to the more, well, sexy. So, what was the sexiest costume you've ever worn?

For myself, perhaps the sexiest costume I've ever worn... was a toga. In college, when I had a bit more color in my hair, and was in better shape, I took a bed sheet, tied it around myself, over one shoulder, and, eh voila! Instant Roman god.

One year, I did some research, and learned how to take a simple piece of fabric, and fold it on itself to make a kilt. Add a nice, white dress shirt, a bit o' plaid, and I was dressed up as a Scotsman.

What's worn under a Scotsman's kilt? Nothing worn - it's all in perfect working order.

What about you? Anything sexy planned for a costume this year?

Ok, I stopped going online to the various websites I have mentioned before, and I have asked them to discontinue my memberships. But I still get emails from them. The last one was a doozy...

In it, they listed the 7 women who had accessed my (inactive and hidden) profile. Of the seven, only one of them was in the age range I had listed on my (inactive and hidden) profile; of the seven, none of them were looking for men.

That's right, each and every one of the seven women who looked at my (inactive and hidden) profile were seeking women.

I know that, as far as my statistics go for this site, I have received a lot more attention from men than from women; and that I have received a lot of attention from men claiming to be search for men. But, now, add on to that women seeking women who think that I am a woman? Even after my (inactive and hidden) profile pic shows an incredibly hairy chest?

That's just downright embarrassing! But for whom, exactly, well, I'm not saying...

Compensating for what, exactly...?

Ok, we all know the lines - they've been in so many tv shows and movies that it is a bit of a cliche now.

A guy drives up in a fancy sports car, big engine under the hood... sooner or later, you know someone is going to ask if he is compensating for a lack in the cock department. Mind you, they won't say it like that, but we all know that's what it is.

If that were the case, I think I"d be driving a huge, band spanking new SUV. Something like a Hummer - which, due to its name, brings up a whole 'nother set of issues.

And, yet, I drive a subcompact. Yes, I could be compensating... but for what?

I do recognize that I am trying to show off my large... brain... when I am out here, that I try to come off a smart, witty, intelligent, etc. I guess that could be it.

Naah...

I was at the grocery store when the most amazing thing happened to me: a woman looked at me and, unprompted, smiled at me! Woohoo! It has been a long time since that happened. I was incredibly tempted to introduce myself, and see if she wanted to hang out for a while - I mean, not only did she smile at me, she was also rather attractive. Sounds like a "win-win" to me!

It really is the simple things in life that bring a glow to you!

Do men read profiles?

Seriously.

I think I have mentioned before that my profile mentions - in three places - that I am not interested in men.I have mentioned it in my blog posts. I have written to those men who have written me that I am not interested. Last time I checked, I did not have any testimonials saying how I have great relationships with men.

And, yet, I keep getting hotlisted by - and flirts from - men.

At my latest count, my list of members who have added me to their hotlist has 15 members - 2 of them are couples, so I count them as both 1 male and 1 female. Of those 17 people in this list, 10 are men, and 7 are women.

I have seven friends, all of whom are female - but that is because I get to approve or decline requests. It does not really count, for that reason, but I have declined a few friend requests from men.

My flirts? Well, they keep changing. Right now, I have 10, all individuals, and most of them are actually women - 6 women to 4 men.

So my question: to any who have noticed a trend, one way or the other, do men read profiles?
Absolutely - every single time!
Most of the time.
Sometimes...
from time to time, maybe, when the mood strikes them...
about as many times as men pass a day without thinking about sex.
Absolutely never - what were you thinking?

I have heard a lot of comments from various folks about whether or not women enjoy looking at dick pics. Frankly, I have never posted one - until now.



Ok, how about this one?



No? How about a blast from the past?



Ok, ok... so how about some pics that aren't dicks?



Not good enough for you? How about this one?



I know, funny... what about one more?



Hey, if nothing else, this one might be able to make you a vibrator with nothing but a bowling ball and some coffee filters...

Every parents' dream - and nightmare - is coming soon... my darling ar going back to school!

As they get ready, we try to cram all the stuff we didn't get ready for into the last few days, which is probably one of the reasons I have not written much in Blogland. Well, that, and there really isn't much to write about.

How about those folks from Ashley Madison? Dang... I was tempted to try there, but, since I am not willing to meet yet, it didn't seem to be a good match. Now I am damn glad I didn't - but I have to wonder about all of the lives that have been disrupted by this hack. I mean, there are claims of some people trying to use the data for blackmail, other reports of suicides related to the hack, and all those people who's information was supposedly safe and is not fully visible to anyone with a computer and a bit of time.

So, not much happening here - which is both good and bad news. Good news in that things are not getting worse; bad news in that things are not getting better. Oh, well...

Dang, they seem to get younger...

I believe I have brought up, from time to time, that I have . Well, one of my is getting swimming lessons - a very important thing, I think many will agree, both for fun and safety.

There is this one lifeguard there who has been very friendly, and loves to talk to both the parents and the . She remembers my from last year's lessons, and seemed to remember me as well. She was the most mature lifeguard of the troupe (not necessarily the most physically attractive, mind you), but she really impressed me with her humor, her sassy attitude towards life, and her energy for her job. She was also rather attractive, and I developed what I would call a "crush" on her.

Mind you, I could never - and would never - act on such a thing. Being as unsuave as I am, it would destroy any friendship, and might lead to rather bad feelings between her and my .

It turns out that there was another reason: she's still in college. I had thought that she was in her early 30's, maybe late 20's at the youngest. But no. She is about three decades my junior.

The women I develop crushes on seem to get younger and younger each year.

Of course, I am crappy at estimating ages. At one job I held in the past, there was a young woman working during weekdays who held herself with such poise and dignity that I was positive she was only a few years younger than myself. But, no, sadly, she was only 14 years old, a good decade younger than myself. Well, and jail bait, to boot.

I really don't feel like I'm 52 years old. But I don't feel like I'm 22, either.

On a related note, I keep getting emails from one site that does not have a way to discontinue membership that I have found. Some of these are advertisements for other sites in their family of sites. Catfishing abounds on this site: the latest ad I received had pictures of 12 very attractive women - of which only two were older than half my age, and not a single one was over 30.

Seriously?

On top of that, the first email of this nature I received from this site had two different women - of two different ages AND ethnicity - using the same user name. Uh... I think that would be considered a subtle hint that this site has fake profiles they use to entice desperate and lonely men in to spend their hard-earned money for a chance to fuck a beautiful young woman, only to have their dreams crushed by the fact that these women are not real.

I find this behavior to be particularly cruel: these men are lonely, and you are trying to get them to waste their hard-earned money on fake profiles, hiring either someone to pretend to be the woman in question OR (my theory) hiring a programmer to create a "personality profile" program that could interact with users. Once you have their money, and have shot them down time after time, what happens when you crush that spirit within?

I've had a hard week here on FriendFinder-x: I used the points to become a member's number one fan, and dropped her a quick note to compliment her on her profile picture, and to wish her luck on her search. I got a return message a few days later, letting me know that, well, she is not interested. And that's exactly how she wrote it: "Thank you for looking at my profile but I'm not interested."

I know she looked over my profile, and I know my profile says I'm not wanting to meet folks for sex. And, yes, I know men will try many tricks to get into a woman's panties. And, yes, I know that becoming a number 1 fan is a RATHER SUBTLE HINT that you want to hook up. But it's not what I was after.

What was I after? I really don't know for sure. Would I have tried to meet her? Maybe... I have to admit, the temptation to meet for sex with folks is very strong, and I am rather frustrated. All of my recent attempts to meet with women from this site have been for friendship, not sex, so I can't even claim I was seriously trying to court her. I do know that my conscious mind wanted to pay her a compliment, and about the only way I could do that was to become her fan. Becoming the number 1 fan was rather easy, too, as she is a very new member, and had very few fans.

At no point in my message did I ever mention getting together. She just jumped to that conclusion. I understand how that could work, and I can even admit to wanting to meet with her. And she did try not to be too rude about it, but wanted to make sure I understood that SHE IS NOT INTERESTED.

Yeah, I got that. At least she didn't put it in all caps.

Eh. I wrote her back, and told her that I was not trying to meet (maybe... there is that niggling doubt), and that I still wished her success on her search.

Maybe it's me (it probably is), or maybe it's the city I live in. It still hurts that someone you wouldn't hook up with (not that you didn't want to) didn't want you.

Sigh...

Shaved or not...?

Ok, before you start to think about it, which is your preference: a partner who is shaved, or one who is not?

See, this question is even harder for me, because, as I mentioned in an earlier blog, I am incredibly hairy.

The thing is, the hair gets caught in the lining of my swimming suit. I've been mentioning how much my like to go to the swimming pool, right? Well, we've gone several times in the past two weeks, and will probably go several more before school starts back up again. Around the same time I was contemplating that little problem, a female friend of mine mentioned that she preferred men who were at least trimmed around their dick so she wouldn't gag on the hair. After thinking about that for a minute, and the hair getting caught in the lining (man, that hurts!), I thought, why not?

So I took the trimmer, and trimmed.

First off, ouch. Trimmers are supposed to work on areas that do not shift around, you know?

Secondly, it feels very weird - once hairs are trimmed, I've found, they feel very a lot like little spikes, until they get a chance to wear the tips down. So the hair was catching even more, and moving around feels rather, well, bizarre.

So I grabbed my razor, and shaved.

Better. Well, hard not to be better, but still weird. It's nearly the only place on my body that does not have hair covering it. So it looks weird. Imagine looking in the mirror, and seeing a body that has a fairly thick covering of hair on it - except on the pubes right about his dick. Oh, and the hair is mostly a dark brown or black, too, so it's hard to miss.

And, since I don't trust what I cannot see, I did not shave around the balls. Trim, sure - but a sharp implement so close to those? I don't think so. I mean, if a trimmer had a hard time because of the shirting skin, I can't imagine a razor would be much better.

So, ladies... do you prefer a man who has trimmed/shaved down there, or not?

Again... sigh...

I really wonder what goes through the minds of the folks who have to program which profiles are going to be "viewing" my profile. Last time, the email claimed 6 women from out of state wanted to meet me...

This time it was 6 women... 3 of which were from out of state. The other three were from one of the corners of the state (I live nearly in the middle). Again, all of the women were between 20-30, and all of them were seeking women.

Um... hello? It's a dead giveaway that your crew doesn't know what it's doing when the folks who show up on my profile don't match ANY criteria I have listed.

Except that they are female. That's about it.

I realized a while back that one way to recognize the catfish was to look at all of the information they published in the profile. At first, most profiles contained at least 50% of the information filled out; now, it's the bare minimum, like they've given up working all that hard. Seriously, all that is usually filled out is the gender, the age, where they live... and that's it. Even if a pic is posted, they will not identify their body type or hair color.

Pretty sad, really. I mean, they're trying to cheat me, but they really aren't putting much effort into it.

Interesting thing here... I'm starting to get more profiles viewing mine... when I"m not online... and they are out of state... and looking for women.

I've checked - and rechecked - and rechecked yet again - my profile does not list me as female. It does list me as male. The photographs show hair on my chest, and either a long white beard or a scruffy beard. So, either these people are looking me up for a specific reason (seriously, what would it be? I am not female, although I keep getting men hitting me up), or this site is trying to get me to pay for a membership, since I am obviously so popular.

Well, at least they put more effort into it...

Song Lyrics...

This song came out a few years ago (1991). I loved it back then. Recently, I heard it again on an oldies station, and listened more carefully to the lyrics, and it made more sense to me now.

Do any songs just speak to you, like the old Roberta Flack song, Killing Me Softly?

Losing My Religion by REM

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought, I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every wakin' hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this, consider this
Hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around?
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought, I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought, I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

Interesting thing...

I posted about a few sites I had joined (similar to FriendFinder-x), and how, if I didn't give them any credit card info, they would bombard me with emails claiming to have received flirts, messages, and date requests from women who were waaaaay out of my league.

Well, one of the sites went one step further...

According to an email I got this morning, my profile on this unnamed site has been visited not once... not twice... but eight times - by women between the ages of 20 and 30 (well outside the range of ages I am looking for), all of whom are from other states (when my profile is looking for women within 25 miles of my home)... and who are only interested in meeting women, according to their profiles.

They're batting 1.000! They missed on all three criteria!

Things that make you go, WTF???

And they wonder why I won't trust them with my information...

Catfishing.

I have been reading some blogs out here, and I find more and more bloggers are mentioning that they see other people commenting that no on is real out here.

Huh. That may be true - but, if that is true, and I know I am a standard (ie, free) member, how are they making their money?

Still, I signed on at another couple of sites that were related to one another because I wanted to test something... on one of them, I gave them enough info to qualify for the lifetime membership, so I can qualify for messaging, adding friends, the whole nine yards... the other one I gave them enough to sign up, but no further information.

Guess which site has been getting all the messages?!? That's right, site #2! At last count, I have 63 messages in just over a week, plus probably over 80 instant messages on the site I was a "bronze" member, but only 13 messages and, maybe, 5 instant messages - of which I instigated probably 4 of them.

And the member profiles are the same between the two websites. The messages I can read on the first site? Very vague, asking leading questions, but never actually responding to my inquiries when I respond. And many of these women are WAAAAAY out of my league - again. Seriously. I am getting all these frantic "FUCK ME NOW!!!" IM's from women in their 20's, who, as part of their profile, claim they want nothing to do with a man older than 35.

No, I did not lie about my age. No, I did not lie about who - and what - I am. And, yet, all these hot women who are young enough that they could be my adult and who don't want to date men my age are dropping me IM's asking to meet, to fuck, to send pics, whatever. Some of these IM's are from people who live outside of my hometown - indeed, outside of my home state! - if their profiles are to be believed. Yet they want to know what part of town I live in, whether or not I can send them pics of my cock, and when we can we get together so she can "fuck my brains out" (yup, that was part of an IM I got on the second site).

I wonder how many lonely, or bored, or just plain sad men and women fall for this crap?

I joined another site to see how bad it was, and, well, I can only see three or four profiles per day, I cannot IM, I cannot message, I cannot flirt... you get the picture... unless I pay their membership fees. Needless to say, I am deleting my profile on that site, and I have disabled all notifications and search options on the second site.

The first one? Well, it allows me to view pics (most of them not so fabulous) and x-rated movies (for the most part, they seem to be extended clips from other movies). I have a feeling I'll be deleting that one soon, too.
