Mods to SA. Profile photos
I have made a practice of investigating the profiles of POTs I'm advancing with, including trying to find their photos elsewhere online (in case they are spoofing them). I have always just used my browser's function to save the image as a file. However, what downloads now is a little, 6 KB jpg, and I can't get it to open with my viewer. Tineye will also not use the downloaded file as input for a search. Is anyone else experienced with image searching having the same issues?
It seems like this might be a good thing for everyone, since none of our profile photos could be downloaded to either search for us or post on some of those predator sites mentioned here lately.
Platonic Only and 18-year-olds
[QUOTE=FarFarAway;3425417]Another observation. It seems like there was just an influx of POTs. Perhaps this is because of the end of the school year for both public schools and universities where I am, southern California.[/QUOTE]I've also noted, at least in my area, a much higher proportion than formerly of those who say "platonic only" or "no sex" or the like. It used to be rare, but now it seems like 5 to 10 percent have that disclaimer. I have the impression that some source where the SBs get their information is leading them to take this approach.
There's also been a very large influx of new SBs listing their age at 18. I'm assuming these are girls who are just finishing up high school. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like a girl ought to have some college under her belt before she's ready for the game. Somehow, it seems creepy to go out with a high-school senior, even if she's 18, although once she's a freshman, then it seems perfectly reasonable.
Rosie Palm and her five sisters
[QUOTE=FarFarAway;3428865]I'd like some perspective. I am messaging w / a gal with a dream profile. Model quality, lists high lifestyle expectations, lives in an expensive area in California. I am amazed I was able to get a response from her. PM if you want the link. She also seems pretty taken with herself, but I think I've tapped into her deal. She's a kept woman who is bored, maybe kinky. She wants me to take her on a sunset dinner cruise for the M&G. I don't know how I can get away from the SO for this, but I'd really like to pursue her. I likely couldn't afford her ongoing, but then some other guy seems to be paying her freight already. Potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.[/QUOTE]I don't know, my brother. To me, this has SCAM written all over it! You take her out on the sunset dinner cruise after making up some dubious story to get a hall pass from your SO. The baby's all cuddly, touchy-feely during the boatride, and then when the gangplank hits the dock, it's "thanks for a lovely evening, let's stay in touch", and you're left wankin' in the parking lot.
Suggest a much more modest M&G, with the promise that the difference in cost will be added to her first FC sugar gift and see what she says. If the answer is affirmative, I will gladly eat crow, but my spidey sense says I will go hungry!
Keep us in the loop either way.
Scott.
