Got off work a few hours ago. Boringly uninteresting day, as usual, on a sunday for the spa.
So, a new friend of mine has told me about this thing called the Reader its for the Chicago area social stuff. He said that it could be interesting for someone my age group and that's who they gun for. Cool, so after much arguing with myself I check it out.
What's the first thing I see? They have a personals section. What do I do? yea, you guessed it. I havn't even looked at the damn site completely but been sitting there tweekin out my freaking profile. Go figure.
This site is definatly awesome tho because it has this 'I saw you' section and people place ads on there for someone they saw but wanted to talk to and couldn't get up the nerve, yada yada. Its really neat. And you can either go with payin a $5 charge for 1 day to initiate contact (replies are free) or you can buy up to a month or more of service (for the personals ads not the 'i saw you' stuff). I figure its better than yahoo and adult friend finder and definatly less expensive which I can't afford them anyways, and I have really got to take myself off that AFF. I'm not out for just sex and they all seem to be. ADULT FRIEND, what the fuck was I thinking? Apperantly not!
lol, atleast I can laugh at myself!
So hey, fellow DuPager that I met accidentally with the help via a mutual friend, thanks for the tip on the Reader mag, i got a good feeling about this whole situation now :D
"I'm not out for just sex"... is this the same girl who was pretty much slipping off her seat last night at mention of sweaty guys in armour beating each-other with swords?
ReplyDeleteThat's doesn't prove I'm out for just sex, Murray -lol
ReplyDeleteJust means I have an appetite at the moment
Glad you thought there was at least some merit to the site/publication. Although you should be ready for the fact that a lot of the Reader's pesonal ads clientele is probably not going to be readily distinguishable from the AFF crowd. More local, perhaps, but the same basic critter.

Tonight with it being nasty outside I plan on exploring all aspects of the Reader that I can (besides the personals ads, lol) and go from there.
ReplyDeleteMy daddy is trying to keep me outa the city (says its unsafe, daddy's are awesome) maybe it'll hold some cool info on the suburban side and I wont have to go in city?
Cheers to not having to go downtown if I can help it!
While I am not a real city lover, it isn't too bad - if you have a little guidance on where to go and where to avoid, Chicago is not very dangerous. Not knowing where you are going can get prty dicey though.

So let me just get it sorted out here.
ReplyDeleteYou're fighting a deep seated phobia to travel half way round the world at mention of sweaty guys in saucy little chain and metal numbers because you want to establish a meaningful dialogue with them?
I merely seek information.
well, ya know. i'm always 2 minds about everything. the Devil & the Angel.
