Hi everyone! Possibly my last blog post on this site as I have CONFIRMED that this site is scamming people.
The IM program built into this site sucks. Yes its the biggest pile of trash you could find (makes 1999 Yahoo Messenger look like an advanced system). So if you arent upgraded on this site (which is a scam by itself), you are required to spend coins to use the chat function. Well I now have PROOF that the IM program only works less that 10% of the time unless you are upgraded member. Confirmed how you ask? Well, I have several friends that use this site (that are friends in real life) and I decided to test my theory and send them messages that I would normally send someone new. On my end, the message status would bounce back and forth between "sent" "delivered" and even "read". But what you dont see is that the recipient NEVER GETS THE MESSAGE even if they are Gold. They have manipulated the IM system to rarely allow messages to go thru if you arent an upgraded member, which is why they push the upgrades to a ridiculous level. Spending coins to chat has less than a 10% message success ratio (based on my tests). So this website is STEALING YOUR MONEY. Yes even for upgraded members because you are supposed to be able to talk to anyone, but if you arent getting your messages, then you are being stolen from as well!
I have not confirmed yet if Gold Level members messages actually all go thru yet, but thats irrelevant at this point in time because they arent receiving all of their messages anyway.
So here is a big FUCK YOU to the thieves that run this FriendFinder-x website.

So a number of months ago, this site changed up its system and took away the 3 free chats in the IM system each day. I decided to step away from here for a bit and chill on the attempted hooking up life.
Fast forward to today and I log in for the first time in close to a year it seems (probably less actually) and the IM system is changed so I cant even see profile previews anymore, the 3 free chats per day is still gone and if you arent GOLD it now requires 15 coins to start a chat (used to be 12).
On top of that, I also spoke to over a dozen women from this site (mostly offline) that told me they have had GOLD/VIP membership for several years without ever paying for it. No it wasnt donated by other members either. They were literally given status by the website just because they were attractive females. With that said, I get it. Attractive women on the site brings more men to the table. Bot female profiles will only work for a period of time before guys run and wont pay anymore. Instead of making things more reasonable for men on this site, they actually went the other direction and increased it while removing free features that gave people the ability to test the waters without committing to a membership. No I have not paid for a membership for this site BUT yes I have paid several times over the years for coins to use chat. Oh and if you are wondering, yes I have met up (in person) with several people from this site and yes I have hooked up with some of them. Does that make this website successful to me? Yes and no. The people werent the most reliable, some had significant others and nothing lasted more than a few meetups.
So that means I am back at it on here for the time being. We shall see if I get more coins to be able to talk to people....

Losing coins and daily free messages...

I don't go on other people's blogs or read a bunch about this site so if this is something thats common knowledge, then so be it...
People on this site that don't pay for a membership are given 3 free IM "conversation starter" messages to send per day. Once you use (whether sending your own start or replying to someone else) your 3, you have to wait for the next day to start talking to anyone else unless you use coins. Coins can be acquired by posting blogs, completing profile updates, status updates, posting pictures, etc, etc... To message someone using coins, it requires 10 coins.
So now that you understand that a little better, here is what I have been noticing as a "free member":
#1. There is a LARGE abundance of fake profiles on this site. Quite a few are even Verified and Gold Members.
#2. The IM system blocks messages containing certain words that it construes as attempting to steer the convo to another platform.
#3. The IM system doesnt send all messages and/or delays quite a few.
That all being said, what I have discovered is that this website has created its own fake accounts intended to get free members to waste their daily free messages as well as waste their earned/purchased coins. No this isnt a bitter person that is mad because people dont respond to me. I have tested this over the past few weeks. I messaged a handful of people who had just come online. My messages would say "delivered" under them. Never change to "Read" and the person would sign out of messenger within 15-20 seconds. I also messaged a handful of people who I watched be online for +10 mins and did the same to see the same result.
I did have several profiles get my messages and stay online but it was easy to tell which of these instances were "bots" or fake profiles intended to waste peoples coins and such.
What I have yet to figure out is if these "coin wasters" even show up for paid members as its easy to tell the website devs can easily manipulate search results and who you see in your area.
Maybe if I decide to actually pursue this research, I will sign up and finish my findings for people but from what I have seen of this site so far, its a waste of money to pay for a half-ass chat program and ridiculously restricted viewing of a large community of fake profiles intended to steer people toward cam shows.

I took some time recently to step back and take some things into perspective. I didnt date at all during that time or even have any hookups. I was just trying to get some things accomplished without anything interfering.
That being said, I am back (obviously). I will probably be on here a few times a week. Chatting on messenger, adding to blog, updating status...all that stuff. Still probably won't for the membership as I am still unsure that this site is worth it as I have noticed a rather high influx of bots and spam accounts in the brief amount of time I have had a profile here. Plus, the messenger chat program really leaves a lot to be desired. If you want to talk to me, you can see a way to contact me in another blog as well as my status updates.

Well, Bellingham wasn't as exciting as I had hoped it to be this time. There weren't any cuties that caught my eye at the casino and the craps table was cold. At least the food was solid and work kept me busy during the daylight hours. Evenings would have been a lot better with someone the covers with me....just sayin. lol

For anyone who is actually reading these, my range of frequent is Vancouver, BC to Portland, OR (and surrounding areas obviously). I am in those areas for work on a semi-regular basis. So if you are someone that falls the type of person I refer to in my profile, hit me up if you are anywhere between those locations. Worst case is we can meet up for a drink.
Also, the easiest way to get ahold of me is on the app called:
K
I
K
My username is romeo_echo1 on there.
If you reach out, tell me you got the info here and share some info about you please. Dont just say HI and not give me anything to go on.
Thanks

Tip for FriendFinder-x IM program

Some of you that use the IM feature on here (which if you haven't figured it out yet, it really is a shitty IM program), if you are not a Gold Member, you think that you are limited to 3 new messages per day or use your Points to start a convo. Well thats not entirely true:
You can send pictures to an unlimited amount of people via the IM program (as long as you send it through the actual IM program and not the short link in some profiles). This gives you the ability to have a conversation with some WITHOUT actually typing anything. You could use chat pics that have text in them, or you could type and screenshot it on a device. There are dozens of ways to capture the words you want to type but are restricted from. So save yourself your points/ and chat on IM by using pictures!

Bored on a Friday at my office. Figured it would be fun to see what some of the other people on this site have done or want to do...or just fantasize about. Prefer this be answered by the people mentioned in my profile as me being interested in but who knows where this will end up!
FYI, there is no order to these questions.
Copy and paste with answers in the comments
1. Have you ever had sex with a stranger (someone you just met within 2 hours)?
2. Have you ever been involved in a Glory Hole (either side of it)?
3. Have you ever done anything sexual with a member of the same sex?
4. Have you ever let someone who you weren't involved with sexually, watch you masterbate?
5. Have you ever witnessed someone that you weren't involved with sexually, masterbate?
6. Did you stay quiet and watch? Did they notice?
7. Have you ever met up with anyone from the internet JUST for sex?
8. Have you ever met someone in person that you did NOT meet from online, and have sex with them in the same day?
9. Have you ever had an audience when having sex?
10. Would you let someone use a sex toy on you?
11. Have you ever snuck off when in public to have sex with someone?
12. What is the most amount of times that you have cum in a single day?
13. When giving oral, do you swallow?
14. Do you use online hookup sites for actually hooking up or just to talk to people online?
15. Have you ever been involved in a threesome, foursome or orgy? Which? How many times?
16. How old were you when you first had penetration sex?
17. How older were you the first time someone else gave you oral/foreplay? Age the first time you did that to someone else?
18. Do you ever play with yourself on camera for people to watch?
19. Have you ever filmed yourself having sex with someone or live streamed it for others?
20. When do you plan on having sex next?

My older vs younger...

Throughout life we constantly deal with the question of older or . Literally in everything we come across. Vehicles, wine, spirits, clothing, furniture and yes interactions with other people. Whether it be just a conversation, a hookup or a relationship, the situation is there more times than most people realize. The undeniable part of it is that every single person deals with a paradigm shift in their life in going from the to the old. The midway point is the toughest section of life because there are so many questions about what is considered versus the other.
Over the course of my adult life (18+), I have had the opportunity to experience both sides of the coin (sexually) from, well, both sides of the coin. When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I was fortunate enough to have several sexual partners that were in my as well as experiencing being with a woman in her mid 30s. By my mid 20s I still had a few encounter with girls in the 18/19 range, girls in their mid 20s, women in their early 30s and even a couple of women in their 40s. When I reached late 20s, I covered all of that again and even expanded into being with woman in her early 50s. My early 30s still brought on the experience of an 18 year old followed by a 23 year old. Since those , I have also been with a woman in her early 30s, 40s and as in as 54.
back through all of that mentioned above I came to the conclusion that I really love sex. Oh, wait, that wasnt the point. Where was I???? Oh yes, I came to the conclusion that there really hasnt been any that really covered everything sexually. Each had positives and negatives (and the positives each outweigh the negatives by far!). When I was in my early 20s, fucking girls in the same was all about hard-hitting, speed, getting drunk, fucking 25 times in 6 hours and then doing it all again the next night. Fucking a woman in her 30s was more of a "slow down and learn" experience and figure out what sort of things make my partner more. I learned a great deal during that about giving oral AND about the touching involved leading up to, during AND after sex. When I got into my late 20s, I had become more focused on relations with women that were above my . I was really enjoying the sex drive that the late 30s/early 40s brought on and learned that women in that range were actually hornier than any teenage I ever knew. I did enjoy a couple of people during that time as well and those were a lot of fun too. The downside was the drama that followed. In bed, it was a whirlwind. Outside of bed, most of them were flaky, inconsistent and over-dramatic. not saying that the sex wasnt worth it on a few occasions though. lol My 30s era sex-life has tamed WAY down in terms of who I sleep with. I have been selective almost to an extreme level at times. I have, again, had encounters with the 18-24 that have been intense, wild, crazy sex but there tends to be less similar interests and things we have in common. I have, however, been with at least 1 person in their early 20s that was a knockout physically, emotionally stable, intelligent beyond the they were and we connected really well. This person I wouldnt have imagined was only 21/22 old. So there are ALWAYS exceptions to a rule. My experiences during my 30s that covers being with people in their mid 30s all the way to 54 (I believe is the oldest I have been with) has been mostly everything I expected. For the most part, slower paced, communicative, sensual, etc...At the same time the people in this range have also been more verbal with me about how often they want to meet, how soon and what they want. There hasnt been as much of the above mentioned & "drama".
Overall I would have to say that with the people, I tended to see more physical appeal traits above anything else. Whether it be a tighter body, endurance or whatnot. Whereas the people in the higher groups could also offer similar things, it was more often than not a better sexual connection because of openness, communication, sex drive, less drama, etc...
Again, what I have said is that there are always exceptions to everything so when "categorizing" people into groups, orientation or whatever, keep in mind that some can always be quite a bit different than the other in that group.

Throughout my adult life I have come to realize that people (in general) make a lot of stupid decisions concerning relationships and emotions. Is that because we lose all capability for rational thought when the heart is involved? Take these for example:
Example A: A buddy of mine has been head over heels in love with a girl that he has known since middle hool. They are both 38 now. I have known him for -10 and her for around 5ish of that. They call each other "good friends" but his feelings for her go WAY beyond the other way around. I know they have hooked up over and over and over (I know this because I have walked in on them, woke up in the same room, heard them in the next room, etc, etc.... They have never dated (as far as they have told me) in all the time they have known each other. According to him, they started sleeping together around 1 old but never with any consistency. He has dated 2 other women since graduating from High hool and those relationships didn't last longer than 6 months and that was because it was blatant that he has feelings for his friend. This woman has been in numerous relationships throughout the and even was engaged at point. She doesn't typically spend more than a few months of being single/not dating some. Going back to them sleeping together, I can't confirm that they ever slept together while being in a different relationship although I know he has tried to make it happen (I saw/read the attempts first hand but do not know for sure if he was successful).
From what I see/hear about between these is that she loves the dick (obviously) and she also "friend-zd" him in terms of a relationship. She uses him as a constant rebound every time she gets out of a relationship and I wouldn't doubt it if she uses him as an excuse to end relationships she doesn't want to continue. Typically they end up hooking up within a night or of her becoming single again. He stays single and waits around for her. He meets the guys that she is dating/fucking and he acts like a total prick. I have had his back on numerous occasions where the other guy wanted to his ass. Yeah I know my buddy was the instigator and in the wrong, but he's a good enough friend that I have his back no matter what. Yes she has even gotten in his face about it as well. Then a month later, I go over to his place on a Saturday morning to pick him up to go Paintballing and I can hear her getting destroyed inside his place or I walk in and he literally has her bent over the kitchen counter. Yeah, right? Only slightly awkward for me but its now such a commonality that it doesn't phase me.
He always tells me that she is "the " and that day she will realize that. All the while she dates countless guys and continues to lead him on over and over and give him hope by dragging him back every time she is single even if its only for 1 night.
Dumbass right?
Example B:
I sat at a bar/grill evening waiting on some friends to show up (I got there an hour early so I had plenty of time to eavesdrop on other conversations, lol). Not 5 minutes into sitting down and getting a beer a pair of women sat down at the table right behind me. So you can visualize it, they are literally within 4 feet of my back...oh and these women were both extremely attractive. The type that I would have had no qualms about going into a bathroom stall with either and fucking so loud that every single person in the bar knew I was annihilating her. Anyway, so girl "A" is an emotional wreck. How do I know this? Well if you have never met a female before, they cant contain their emotions, especially when they are around a "bestie". Not more than 30 seconds into sitting down, you can hear her choking up when she talks. Her boyfriend of now 7 is physically abusive and cheats on her with regularity. Did you catch the part where I said she was hot? This woman was a level of hot that I'm not sure I could find any within a 100 mile radius that I would rather fuck. Back to the story...Boyfriend of 7 , physically abusive and cheats on her often. How does she know he cheats? During the convo, she mentid that she came home and CAUGHT him literally balls deep inside of another girl. When she went home that night to talk to him about it, he beat the shit out of her and broke her arm. Seriously, right?!? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???? She went on to say that he does really love her and tells her that he wants to get married. Yeah thats a GREAT idea. Trap yourself in a life threatening situation with some who has no problems with beating the hell out of you. According to the conversation that I could hear PLAIN AS DAY AS IF I WAS ACTUALLY A PART OF IT, he has caused her to go to the ER at least 5 times that were mentid. of the mentions was that she become pregnant a couple of prior and he accused her of it being some else's and he punched her in the stomach and then the face. She ended up miarrying.
Yes all of the was overheard during around 45 minutes. While they were talking, girl "B" mentid HER OWN man problems (I can only assume as a means to comfort/empathize with her friend). She tells her friend that "all men are like that" even her own boyfriend (of 5 ) except his physical violent nature toward her has never g beyond an open handed slap. No joke, she said that was acceptable because he didn't use a closed fist. HE DID NOT USE A CLOSED FIST TO HIT A WOMAN SO THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. Yes you read that right. Those were HER words, not mine. She also mentid that her boyfriend forces her to have sex with other men while he watches even though she refused every single time. He also makes her watch him with other women. Again, the guy professes his love to her and that he wants to get married and have but treats her this way.
Neither of these women are using any sort of rational thought when it comes to their own safety/well-being. If you sat and listened to a friend telling you they are going through either situation, you would be on them about getting the fuck out. I have witnessed female friends say that to other friends and then turn around and do the exact opposite.
All in all, the 3 people (4 technically if you count the woman in Example A) aren't using any sort of common sense and allow themselves to be abused whether its physically, mentally, emotionally or sexually. Its always easier to see a situation from the outside and give advice about how to handle it. People should start listening more to their own advice rather than look for reaffirmation that what they are doing is right.

Complicated?

Do you think that it is complicated to meet someone online?
Whether it be for a NSA hookup, fwb, just friends, potential LTR or whatever you are looking for. Why does it seem harder for some people to meet someone online? Half of the point of meeting online is that the socially awkward people can talk to other people without showing their hand that they struggle when meeting new people in person. Maybe its that people are looking for people that they think they want, but really don't click with that type of person. Maybe their standards are way off base (this is often referred to as "Stay in your lane"). A lot of people seem to get "duped" by a "catfish" or someone who just has zero intention of actually meeting and is just getting their kicks by toying with people online.
I've spent a little time over the past 18 years on several various sites for meeting people. Here, CL, NSAHookup, HotorNot, Facebook, MySpace, Hookup, OKMeet, etc...Though I have yet to try Tinder. The common variable in all of those sites is that its dominated by men. If you run a gender poll on any of those sites, you would see its 2/3 men (maybe not Facebook or MySpace as those aren't directed at being dating sites). The other common variable with the dating sites mentioned are the SPAM bots and fake profiles. Obviously this is effects men more often than women but the trickle-down effect is real. When there is an abundance of fake profiles and spam on a website that men see and get responses from, it makes them leery of ALL the profiles/ads/responses. I'm guilty of that mindset as well. I have responded rudely to what turned out to be a real female that was sincere about meeting because I thought she was a "bot."
So once you can filter through the garbage mentioned above, why is it still hard to meet someone online? Unrealistic expectations. I could turn this part of my blog into a 5,000 page novel but I will summarize instead.
A. Stay in Your Lane! If you are a clean 6, don't go chasing all solid 10s when you cant woo them in person first.
B. If you are on a site dedicated to NSA sex (AKA: Hooking up), then don't get offended when people hit you up about it regardless of whats in your profile. Hell, 95% of people don't actually read a profile anyway, at least not until after they start talking to someone.
C. Don't be shady about swapping pics. Oh, my bad. You're discreet? That doesn't mean you don't send a pic to someone. Discreet means that you are quiet about the situation and you aren't posting that shit on Social Media or telling your co-workers. Which leads me to the next one...
D. If you are on a hookup site, be prepared to SHOW A PIC. If someone is willing to come to your place without knowing what you look like and have sex with you, then you should really question the quality of person you are inviting over/going over to.
E. RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. If you start talking to someone in the middle of the day but you are at work or about to do something, TELL THEM. Don't leave them hanging cuz most of those people think you are a flake when that happens. Guess what!! What?! Oh, I'm glad you asked...When it comes time to meet in person, you just raised your chances of being the one who gets flaked on.
F. Partially tied to the previous statement, If you set and time and place to meet someone, MAKE SURE YOU ARE FREE. Don't be that flake that comes up with a last minute excuse because you're such a space cadet that you forgot you had plans. Also, don't be the shit that makes up a big emergency at the last minute either. That is in the "catfish" handbook for RED FLAGS so all you do is look like an idiot.
I'm sure I will add more to this blog since I have a ton more in my head but I figured it might be fun to keep this one going over time.
