Here is continuing right from where Sagnik left off in A friend when not in need…. Those samaritans who throng social (and business!) networking sites looking to “make friendship”. And then there are those who want 2 make franship. Or frndshp (depending on whether or not he is a txt msg addct) wid u.
So much for sexual networking. Social, I mean.
And then there are the hey-you-are-on-instant-messenger-so-will-you-have-sex-with-me types. The instant messenger – another place on the internet where these friend-ship-makers prowl.Their approach line, as I found out today is unbelievably direct.
smenon this morning pops up on my husband’s messenger with hi-asl.
Husband looks at the duh? writ large on my face and says – age, sex, location.
Pale-face speaks in strange tongue.
Duh? widens. Apparently strangers interested in chatting-friendship-sex (not at all in that order, believe me) pop up with alarming regularity on his instant messenger with request for asl. Someone remind me to get him to remove that mug shot from his messenger…
Should I feel discriminated against because this doesn’t happen to me? Even though I have been wise enough to not put up a mug-shot … Gah!
J.A.P.
Would you believe it, somebody actually thought I, yes I, was a girl and wanted to meet me. My usual photo (the profile silhouette) notwithstanding.

JAP, I dont think the mug shot matters. he got asl offers when the profile showed the pic of a daisy – or was it a football? 🙂 but yes, you ought to feel discriminated. here, let me make you feel better. u wanna make franship with me now?
Ravages, heh! I dont believe spomeone was *that* desperate 🙂
