Hmmm
Well, I feel like an addict who has cut off.. I hadnt realized how much I had invsted and how dependent I had become to the IM in this site to initiating contact.
I have been actually suffering withdrawl... I now log on to this site out of habit, but the rush is gone... I have not been able to start a single correspondence since IM was removed, despite my futile attempts at email initiations..
Well, the pof withdrawl has passed, and I tried an alternative... I actually went out to a singles bar... and summoned up some resolve and talked with more women in one night than in the past month on this site.. (of course, that wasn't many.. and it certianly wasnt free... the bar tab could have provided a few months on a Pay Site )
Funny, because I turned to on line dating a couple of years ago as an alternative to the mounting frustrations with the bar scene.
I do much better out than in here, also, because of my age, I suppose. I looke better in person than in pictures.
The tagline for my profile on POF was a simple question..
"Is this (PoF) really better than the Bars"
well, without IM, the answer , sadly, is not any more!!
