Part I: the wild frontier by laudablepuss 05/30/2012, 9:39pm PDT
So I guess 2005 or so I jumped onto a site called Mate1, with some pictures my friends took of me. A few were really good, and I'm quite sure (in retrospect) that I looked good enough in one that it basically amounted to a flat-out lie. Armed with this, and a modest ability to string a couple words together, I found a bunch of girls who wanted to talk to me. This was pretty exciting since at this time, I was a virgin. Let's get that out of the way. Due to a variety of reasons -- unrealistic expectations, poor hygiene, cultivated lack of charm, shyness, stupidity, and I'd downplay it but health issues undoubtedly were involved to some extent too -- I never did do it. Oh yeah, and an escapist personality plus a rich imagination, that was a factor. Maybe at some point I'll make a part 0 or -1 to talk about the prehistory of sucking at online dating and go into that a little more.

Anyway, dunno if you've noticed this, but people are pretty different online than they are IRL. And sexy-talk is awesome if you've never done it before. (That works on two levels I guess.) High fives all around! My delusion was: if they wanted to do that, maybe they wanted to meet? Turns out, 100% of the time sexy talk and nudey pictures do not lead to anything. At least for me. Ever.

HOWEVER, there is also this invention called the "web cam". It may surprise you to learn that on only one occasion did I ever use it to see a girl naked. Rather, on a dozen occasions, these girls wanted to see me masturbate for them. This was a thrill like you wouldn't believe! On one weird but totally exciting occasion, I had three girls watching. Started with one, then another saw my webcam was on and requested to join and I clicked ok. Then a the third did the same. Hooray, I'm popular! Interestingly, while being a webcam whore was exciting, doing sexy talk via IM or on the phone I almost always faked the orgasm. It was fun enough just hearing the girls, then later I'd take care of business. But it just didn't work for me, especially typing with one hand. :/

It's tough to imagine the thrill now with the passage of a bunch of years -- I have no inclination to try that again, and I can't feel, through memory, what I felt back then. So it's odd. (I'd like to mention that I've talked to a few people who were similarly stupid when they first tried online dating, so I beg you, please take that into account before sentencing me. Thank you, Colonel Worf.)

Lots of the girls I talked to were from all around the country, because back then I supposed maybe I'd go meet them. And on one occasion I actually did, I visited an 18 year-old in a state that will remain nameless. So, she would have been 13 years younger than me. And oh boy, sex. But it was terrible, again probably for a variety of reasons, and it was a mess. Jhoh has nothing on me, folks.

Here's a great moment though: I was talking to another, I dunno 18 year-old probably, on the phone in the same period where I was talking to the girl above about visiting her. And they had similar voices, and I was *totally exhausted* from work and I don't recall what else. Packing and getting things set, probably. And I got them mixed up, so I said I couldn't wait to go visit her and she said, "what? Do you know who I am?" Uh, you're [wrong name]? CLICK. Haha! Duurrr.

The last entry for the wild frontier period is a girl who was possibly the sexiest woman I've ever met, personality-wise and dirty-talking-wise, and who lived in a neighboring state. And she's the one that I did the webcam thing where I actually saw her. And, shallow that I am (and I think all of us are to some extent), she just wasn't very cute. I feel bad about this even now, because I suspect she actually had a pretty serious thing for me. Or could have. I dunno. Oh! Good moment: outside in my car at my brother's place late at night on the phone with her, talking dirty (because I wasn't gonna do that inside his house, and I planned to return later) . . . and I locked myself out when we were done. My memory is now a little hazy* but I think I must not have noticed right away and gone back inside. Then later, I discovered that my keys were in my car and my phone was dead, so I threw little pebbles at my brother's window for half an hour before he woke up and let me use his phone for a locksmith. AWE. SOME.

*[Joke blaming the hole they drilled in my head when I had liver failure for my poor memory goes here.]
