On-Line Guidelines
Dear Dyke Whisperer, I live in a small town with limited social possibilities. I have decided to try to find a woman on-line. Can you offer me some tips for meeting women on-line?
Alone in Alabama
Dear Alabama,
I think we all know someone who has found “true love” (if only for a short time) on-line. My advice to you is to be vigilant. You must be a skeptic because you’re physical safety could be in jeopardy. You MUST be a skeptic.
-
Don’t send your picture to anyone. Pervs collect pictures. Blot out your face if you feel you MUST post a picture on-line.
-
Don’t assume that women-for-women Craigslist ads are written by women.
-
Push for voice confirmation EARLY. Purchase a pay-as-you-go phone. Use that number to call and receive calls from women. Tell them that you must confirm their gender using the phone. You’ll screen out most men this way.
-
Meet for lunch at a public place.
-
Spending hours talking to her on the phone is not getting to know her. It’s talking to someone on the phone. Lying is easier when you’re not looking directly at someone.
-
Proofread your ad if you plan on placing one. Really.
-
Ignore married women, women with boyfriends, and women with girlfriends.
-
People who complain a lot when you first meet will only complain more as the relationship progresses.
-
Remember: prisons offer Internet access.
-
Do a search on “her” e-mail address; do a name-search when you get “her” name.
