Dubious winks etc.

Dubious winks etc. Don't die of shock, but I'm actually adding something to (for want of a better term) "my blog". Call me a naive, trusting soul if you like, but I would prefer to take people's profiles at face value. Sadly, however, the internet is a medium that by necessity anonymizes people: it gives everyone a voice, but the origin of the voice is pure conjecture. In the present context I'm not here to rant about so-called "couple" profiles which, in a high proportion of cases, appear to have been concocted by a male for his own gratification, armed with a few photos of a woman who may/may not be his current/ex GF/wife. Instead I'm talking about the incessant stream of "winks" that flow into my mailbox on a daily basis, all of which appear to be from female 20-somethings located in the US (or occasionally - for originality - my native UK or Japan). Speaking as a man who is "of a certain age", it's inevitable that my thoughts sometimes stray into the realms of Lolita-land. However, age and experience of life also bring with them (at least in my case) a sense of reality. Therefore, if a 23-yr-old in Cincinnati decides to wink at me, I'm not stupid enough to think it's a real attempt at communication, let alone a reflection of my sexual attractiveness through the eyes of a living, breathing woman of tender years. So I'm forced to conclude that these "Lolita winks" are "bots" generated by the site with the express aim of giving a little thrill to middle-aged men so that they will continue to be engaged with the site. If that's the case, then I find it insulting, and also a damned nuisance, because it makes it much harder to discriminate between what's real and what's fake here. As a result, if any *genuine* woman decides to write to me, is it surprising that her honest intent is immediately viewed with suspicion? If anyone is employed by VisionPersonals.com to scour the blogs and profiles of members to search for clues as to how they can improve the site, then I'm saying to you: "Stop this ridiculous "dubious winks" system". It serves the interests of neither the site nor its members. I suspect that many men of an age similar to myself on here have a pretty good idea of the types of profiles from which these "winks" emanate. However, for those of a perhaps more gullible/inexperienced nature, I've compiled a short list of criteria to look out for. "Bot" profiles may not necessarily have *all* of these features, but hopefully this will serve as a helpful guide: 1. About 90% of them are allegedly in the US of A, but a few purport to be in Japan, Oz, NZ etc. Those that claim to be in Japan are generally of non-Asian ethnicity, and are called "Ashley". 2. The vast majority are aged 22-25 (with a few token 30-yr-olds thrown in to make things a little confusing). 3. Their handle names are generally some sort of corny prefix ("sweetnsexy", etc.) followed by a string of numbers. 4. The majority lack any type of photo, but the pic on display in those that do is invariably a "too good to be true" glamour model. 5. The wording of their self-intro has a distinctly generic sort of feel to it ("My friends would say I have an easy-going personality." etc.) 6. Many of them claim to be "God-fearing" (sic) and simply gagging to settle down with a nice mature man. (Presumably none of these "bots" have read the "religion" entry on my profile.) They love and cooking too, and are "good listeners"  . Certainly they'd be the very gal that a battered, world-weary, over-the-hill has-been such as myself would grab with both hands and retire from A F F to a life of Lolita-bliss. The big give-away is some kind of statement that they "love older guys" or have a "father complex": attraction for a guy 25 years a girl's senior is something that does not happen in real life, except if it is motivated by money.7. Their profiles mysteriously disappear a few day after emanating the "wink": a bit like a UFO. Although this article is (probably) aimed at male members of a similar age, I'd be interested to hear from members of all ages and sexes as to whether they are similarly targeted. For example, are women in the 40-50 age bracket targeted by fake winks from Latino/Italian lovers with a site age of 20-30, or are young men aged 20-30 targeted by "fake MILFs" ?? Your input on this would be informative and might give us all a laugh. ©Crusoe 09/2012 |

Instead of having to deal with "dubious winks", we women on this site have to deal with clueless "wanna fuck tonight?" emails/chat posts  There's the occasional scammer who fill their emails with so much fake sweetness there's suddenly a craving to eat an entire bag of potato chips, and I'm talking the big US sized bags. When intelligence was being passed out, clearly these idiots didn't get any

Thanks for that. It seems we all have our crosses to bear I was wondering whether "dubious winks" are actually manufactured to appease the likes of the intellectually challenged to whom you refer. After all - someone's gotta love 'em, right ? Incidentally I *loved* the list of idiot comments you'd compiled in your blog. Obviously it was a labour (sorry "labor") of love
