Life in Progress

Photo fraud and Soft Porn..Now I have your attention!

Every day in the life of a single gal can bring about so many interesting things. Dating; we've already discussed that I joined Match.com, but we haven't discussed any of the prospects. As always I will never reveal true names but hell you don't know them anyway. Let's just say that I learned from one of my "matches" about this thing called "photo fraud". Apparently the photo one of his matches was displaying was not really a "true" replica of what she really looked like. Surprise!!!

Then there's my friend, T., who went out with Ms. X, who very blatantly committed photo fraud. Being the gentleman that he is he decided to honor his "date" and have dinner with her anyway. Upon ordering, Ms. X proceeded to order one of everything off of the menu much to his astonishment. Then 1/2 way through the dinner her chair broke sending her crashing to the floor. Needless to say T. was mortified but even more so when the manager apologized to him for his "wife's" faulty chair! Embarrassed and wanting to change his identity, T., still ever the nice guy stayed until the ambulance came. Yes, an ambulance! Ms. X asked him to call her sister, which he did. Her sister asked T. what hospital they were taking her to. Well, he didn't know, so he had to track down the hospital by calling the ambulance company and then call the sister back. The sister then asked if he would be meeting them at the hospital. At this point T. stopped being the gentleman that he had been all night. He was done.

S., one of my matches, has lived in my area for 5 months. He was on Match once before in the state where he lived. He too has been a victim of photo fraud as well as some soft porn photos. He said he never received photos like this till he moved here. Go figure, I live in a city full of ho's! Now, how is a nice girl ever supposed to get a date? I am all about one's goodies but keep 'em in the jar till someone deserves 'em.

And so it goes on, ulaughinatme, clipcat32, U4ME, and princecharmin' send you a wink, yeah, did you know they can do that? They can wink at you and let you know they are interested or they can attach a message to it. And I, of course, send their photo off to my friends (good laugh) or send them a polite no thanks courtesy of Match. You probably think I am mean and possibly shallow. But you gotta trust me on this, there is a reason I pass'em up.

My guy friend, H. says I don't need to be on Match. But then of course, he just wants to date me. Who really needs to be on this site? Certainly we are not all desperate, lonely losers. I stress not all. Some of us are just people who prefer not to meet someone in a bar yet want to meet someone that we can share part of our lives with. Will we find true love, who knows? Some do.

I found true love a couple times in my life. Not on Match, mind you. I know you can fall in love with more than one person in your life. I fell at different times in my life but I knew what it was.

So, I give this a try and if it doesn't work out then I try something else. The good thing is that I am comfortable with me and with my life and that's all that really matters.
