One Member's Testimonial

Like many things it started simply enough – find a female friend with benefits. After a nasty divorce I was not ready to settle into a regular live in situation. I need a little air, but I also needed to get laid regularly. They said it’s hard to find a good man in LA. Let me tell you it’s hard to find a real woman online. Site after site it was variations on a theme. Sign up with the free account and the mail starts pouring in. The old ego gets going, hope swings into action and the imagination starts running wild. Two, three, eight notices of mail a day – but all you can do is wink back. The first site got me with eight e-mails from potential matches. The second one got my money at around the twenty-five e-mail mark. Both sites were adult sites promising singles in my area ready for action. Based on the initial responses from both sites I was planning on buying stock in Trojan condoms. But as soon as I joined it was like I suddenly contracted leprosy or farted – I’m standing in the middle of an empty room. That was really annoying. And to make it worse no matter how many creative e-mails I sent out nothing was coming back. Some of the e-mails were really good – I put some thought into them, someone somewhere should have said something back.
Then it dawned on me – these are not real people. These are dummy ads except for the Nigerian in London who wanted me to send her computers and the two professional hookers. After this revelation, the scales really fell from my eyes when it came into focus that the initial flurry of e-mail from both sites had been from paid responders. That’s right – people who bait you into joining. It was a scheme, a sham, a con game designed to separate me from my money by using my penis as a crowbar. Now I’m pissed. I’d been mugged on the Internet. No physical damage just a dent in my self image – I was pissed at myself for being gullible. Vindication came in the form of site number three and my new perspective on how this game works. It took 93 e-mails before I joined, and I signed up just so I could ambush the responder assigned to me. At e-mail 122 a lady in my age group, professional, educated without a picture pops into my mail box. The line in her e-mail that got me was something about having to produce a copy of my divorce decree as part of the first meeting. I’ll not repeat exactly what I wrote but it was smartass – in fact that’s how she (he/it) addressed the reply “Dear Smartass”. Pay dirt! I was talking with a real person. It was a true five round flamer. The last word was mine – “Honey you don’t need paperwork – you need someone with a sense of humor and a prescription for Cialis.” It was true I guess (he/she/it) never wrote back. Five weeks, $119.85, and 241 e-mails to fake ads – I was not ready to do this again. A friend suggested I try a site he’d see advertised locally www.winkwinkplayplay.com. The logo is “Real…Local, and ready to Play”. That was refreshing, and after I singed up for my free account I got an one e-mail from the owners of the site assuring me that they screened everyone and there were not fake ads or paid responder. I don’t get as much mail, in fact it’s a fraction of what I got from the other sites, but it’s from real people and I have one lady who really seems to like me, she can’t spell, but that’s OK, at least she writes me and I know she’s real. Like they say “Real…local, and ready to play.” It really is a different kind of adult dating site – I like it, it’s a breath of fresh air. Give it a try. thomas90025
