Over the past several months, I've "chatted" up a few members of the opposite sex in an effort to fill a void in my personal life. Some of these conversations turned graphic while other remained fairly harmless. Some I've just been curious to learn more about (udolipixie comes to mind as a particularly interesting character that I hope no poor guy ever crosses IRL, but I haven't seen her around much recently).
It was no coincidence that the vast majority of them were easy on the eyes and/or had something going on upstairs (I wouldn't be hitting on a woman that I couldn't find something to like about). But I've found out that what I've been doing isn't filling the void at all and only further fuels my own character faults (an unwarranted level of narcissism and ego as I'm not as awesome as I appear). Oh, that and the fact that I made a complete ass out of myself and broke my own rules last friday by sending someone a way too honest DM while consuming top shelf liquor on a gorgeous hill country ranch. So I'm choosing to stop and confess my sins and transgressions to the world.
My advice to unsuspecting folks is not to share too much of your own personal thoughts and feelings (impossible on an anonymous forum, where people feel "safe" to share things they wouldn't normally do with people IRL). They can and will be used against you if a charmer/seducer takes a liking to you. Make your profile private. Don't keep a photo up long. Be careful who you flirt with and befriend (no, I'm not a crazy stalker, but I could be...). It's easy to create an illusion when there is no face to face interaction and no non-verbal cues to pick up on.
For anyone reading this that I did chat up, don't feel bad. You're in pretty exclusive company (the number isn't as high as you may think and all of my compliments were genuine). And if some weren't a thousand miles away or 10+ years older than me, I would have loved to develop an exclusive loving relationship. I'm not naive enough to believe I'm the only doing these things. Just wanted to put it out there.

You're a piece of work. What is the point to this?
Since you want to put yourself out there so much I responded to your DM's and texts trying to be friendly while you proceeded to try have inappropriate conversations with me. No thanks. Why don't you try to make some friends and get some dates with people not off of an internet forum? That's my advice to you.

To have a scarlet letter placed on my chest for the world to see. Because I'm tired of feeling like a giant POS and am hoping for some sort of redemption...
Sorry

Sorry Snip
I've chatted up quite a few people on this forum via text, e-mail, even becomming Facebook friends with some of them. A few I've even become friends with and hung out with in person. There are a lot of interesting and good people here. I've never had anyone come back and say they chatted with me to try to make themselves feel like some sort of internet stud. Really really odd.
