Yes, but when we need to disappear, it works for us as well
[QUOTE=Golfcart;1363931]This seems to be the modern method the modern woman uses to say good bye. It sends a clear message and avoids drama.[/QUOTE]Before we excoriate these babies for hiding behind their technological cloak of invisibility, shouldn't we all admit that we have donned that same garment ourselves once or twice? It only stings if you're the one getting slapped. This from a man, I will freely admit, who seems to be getting slapped at the moment, but in stages.
Some observations and questions
[QUOTE=F Scott;1363880]Don't even contemplate paying to be a member of whatever site you are referring to here.[/QUOTE]An interesting observation. Even more interesting: before I'd paid to join SA, before I even had a pic posted, I was got at least two "winks". So yeah, a lot of sites use fake profiles to "robo-respond" to guys to get them to join up (been there, done that too) , that doesn't mean they're all fakes. I'm also not sure all the profiles on SA are "real" either, given some of the experiences I've had there already, which brings me to the question part of the post.
I had one SB who contacted me fairly early on. The usual drill: wink, message, response, more messages, more responses. In this case, though, the SB sent me an email address and asked if I'd 'contact her off the site'. Past experience has taught me that this is usually Step #1 to getting you to sign up for a pay-per-view porn site or a "cam show" site. I sent her a response back indicating taht I'd be happy to keep discussing matters, if she'd stick with the site email service. Haven't heard from her since, so now to the question for the experts: did I guess right, or did I run off a HYB who might happily have met me for several hours worth of sweaty fun?
The collected wisdom is needed on this
Gentlemen,
A sugar brother who has requested anonymity sent me a pm recently, part of which I am quoting here: "In reading one of the sugar baby blogs, a very interesting website was mentioned that I checked out today and nearly wet myself. Have you ever heard of pipl. Com? It is a people search website, but, unlike other site's I have seen, this one has tons of information (read: of the incriminating type) available to the casual surfer without even getting into the purchasing of Archive. Com or the like. And I know this because I checked on myself, just using first and last names. Yikes! Everything, including EVERY addressed I have ever lived at, including the current one! Wife's name, my work place, everything! This is very disturbing even if I wasn't a player! All a disgruntled baby would need is the name off of a receipt, vehicle registration, credit card, etc and she would know everything. Not good! I know you preach the message of keeping sterile but it would only take one slip up. So, along with passing along this, I would ask if it is possible to erase this crap! Some sort of application, one time eraser service, something? Possibly one of the mongering crew would know."
I pipled myself, and he's right! Fortunately there are a lot of guys with my name across the country, and even quite a few in my area (who knew?) , but still, the potential for mayhem by an angry baby is out there. Does anyone know of an erasing service, as he suggests?
I will copy this post to the "Legal issues" thread as well.
Best,
Scott
Reputation defender sites
Guys, just be aware than in many cases, sites like pipl are run by the reputation-defender company; the pipl site's purpose is to drive business to the defender company. I've heard both good and not-so-good results out of these reputation companies. YMMV, so keep your expectations in check.
