by Joe B. Hi folks, you know by now it takes me time to try something new, get out of a comfort zone. Like the slowly boiling frogs dying in comfort. I was told about dating online and that folks my age in their 40’s and up it is difficult without the face to face plus down loading material. Being in a decade or more relationship makes one set in their way however unlike slowly boiling frog I have to jump out of the pot away from the flame into the pond where the other frogs are metaphorically speaking. So far I’ve joined two online date sites to find a match while learning Ballroom, Salsa, Meringue, and tap dance for dancing for the fun of it. Now the hard part. After sighing up, wrote about myself in my profile, what kind of person I am and who is supposedly a match for me. Economically, physically I tell the truth about medical and the job situation. The photo of myself is too large and has to shrunken to fit size needed. Still have problems trying to shrink it to the correct size. If I get some help that’s cool except them seeing where the photo’s going but other people online have their pictures up its only fair to have mine up there too at least to get all the people who’ll automatically reject me on looks alone out of the way. I do believe in getting the bad press out of the way first and have ones that really want email, call, and give me a chance. Women, men trying to find suitable partners to talk, link up, kick it with, or long term relationships. Dating, to be on our best behavior and yet not really being our true ourselves until both of us are comfortable enough to let more of our true selves shine through. Dating women online gives me the shivers not knowing what kind are reading the words, what preconceived notions held, if they’re sharing it with other girlfriends having giggles or outright horse laughs on people writing them. Maybe this is a physical record of my electronic dating and if married or not will have taught me about myself and others. What do you women, wimin, wymyn, Grrrr Cyber Fems really think? What have your experiences been? Were you disappointed or pleasantly supplied "uh surprised? More on my dates if I ever get my photo shrunk in a size the web date sites want. Bye.
