Good News!!

.. Someone actually reads my blog!! Sike!! You thought I had a date. Yea, this one person who's at home on maternity leave is quite upset that I haven't given her anything to read lately.

In other news, POF has decided that it doesn't want people sending me nasty messages anymore. I received a message from Markus, don't get excited, he's the site creator; he says:

1. Any first contact between users that contains sexual references will not be sent. Anyone who tries to get around this rule will be deleted without warning. This rule has actually been in effect since last month and it's made the site so much better.

Hallelujah the internet gods are listening. I was getting real tired of people telling me how much they wanted to go downtown on my taco. It really seems as though the whole internet aspect removes all of the manners that you would be forced to have in an actual meeting. Could you imagine a man walking up to you and saying,

Hey what up? Just curious what do u thin of guys in speedos/thongs?

Or how about,

I'd pay a lot of money to go down on you

Would you not scream out, "Pervert!" and look for the nearest police officer? Why is it any different on the internet? And truthfully, what kind of girl would actually respond to that kind of message? I'll tell you what kind, the one who would write the following,

OMG, it's so nice to meet a guy who's not afraid of a genital wart. They're not too bad today so when do you want to meet up?

2. You can only contact people +/- 14 years of your age. There is no reason for a 50 year old man to contact a 18 year old women. The majority of messages sent outside those age ranges are all about hookups. Anyone who tries to get around this rule will get deleted.

First off, there's a spelling mistake in there. Can you find it? I didn't put it there, it was like that when I copied it. I always find it extra funny when large companies send out mass messages with spelling mistakes in them. But back to the point, this is another example of a scenario that would send off alarm bells in real life. If a 50 year old man came up to an 18 year old... Actually, most people might not bat an eye because they might assume it's her father. That is until he asks her how she feels about speedos and thongs and she slaps him across the face.

Thanks Markus, I appreciate the updates, now if only they could weed out the messages with spelling mistakes...

I'll try to post at least once a week for those of you who need something to read.
