As I said, it matters not WHERE you meet a perspective mate. It only matters WHO it is so it goes without say that if I am standing on line waiting to pee at a concert and a guy approaches me as long as I am without my kids and he SEEMS the type I would be interested in then it is on.
READ MY POST.
As for your friend only meeting trash online, well if that is all he has met thus far then I am sorry to say - trash is EXACTLY what he was seeking. So, it wasn't HOW he came to know the women that decided who he met, it was WHO he was seeking.
To answer healother's question, you know and I know that MANY men are pigs and trashtalk whether he got play or not. If I meet a man online then whatever I do or do not do with him will never affect my real life because he will not be wherever I am in real time. Get it? I have dated ad nauseum and 99% of them recieved not even a kiss. (I put up a thread about it many months ago and was lambasted because of my naivite. Was told that if I was inclined to invite a man into my apartment that I should EXPECT that he expects play. Silly me, I thought that if I invite a man into my apartment to show him my artwork and or portfolio it means that he is going to see some art and/or photos - NOT MY ASS.)
And what do you define by "sleeping with someone right away"? First date, first month, first year? What is "the proper amount of time"? I am nearly 40 years old and answer to no one. I have a daddy and believe me when I tell you that I don't date him.
Sorta like my time here. It's so entertaining how all the guys I shoot down HERE go on and on (when they can no longer contain themselves from being ignored by me) calling me all sorts of "whore" blah, blah, blah yet the six years that I have been on elite - ONLY ONE MAN has ever gotten anywhere near me. So now what? LOL
As far as this marriage being a good idea or not. I married at the age of 22 the first time. At 39 I HOPE I would make better decisions.
