ATTENTION, GUYS: What NOT to do....

ATTENTION, GUYS: What NOT to do....


This weekend I had plans to “meet and greet” two different guys from Find a Cougar. Both guys initiated communications with me. Both guys had my phone number. Both guys stated that they were anxious to meet me. Both guys stood me up. Now, I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, so on Sunday, I checked both of their profiles, and both had been on Find a Cougar that day. And just to be sure, I waited, and checked again today, and both had been on Find a Cougar today. Uncool, guys. Way uncool and an epic fail. Both of them have now been moved from my “Interested” folder to my “No” folder.

I think it’s safe to say that the people on this site are 1,000 times more honest and straightforward than any other site. I may not be as adventurous or open-minded as most (partially, because I’ve been there, done that, and the thrill wore off), but I am honest and straightforward as fuck. If we meet, and there’s no chemistry or spark, I won’t hesitate to tell you. So, yeah, my feelings won’t be hurt if you even have the not-so-common-anymore common courtesy to call, text or even message through Find a Cougar that something came up or even that you have changed your mind.

So, what NOT to do: If you start communicating with someone, and then you change your mind (or maybe someone that you like better comes along), be straightforward and let the person know. “It’s been great messaging with you. You’re an amazing person, but my situation has changed, and I’m unable to meet up/pursue this interaction further.”

I’m sure other things should be on the “NOT to do” list, but let’s start with this.

"I think it’s safe to say that the people on this site are 1,000 times more honest and straightforward than any other site."

You're kidding, right? With all the flakes and fakes you really believe that? Not to mention getting stood up by two guys - probably married/attached and couldn't get away - and you believe the people on here are honest? A bit naive of you if I may say.

You have to sift through the bad to get to the good, but they're out there.

THAN OTHER SITES...I completely agree that you have to weed through the shit, but I usually will only agree to meet guys who have confirmed their identities. Not that the guys aren't saying they're single when they're not. I have run into that. I'm just saying don't make plans and then nothing. At least have the common courtesy of letting the other party know not to wait around.

This is why we have nothing to do with single guys anymore, besides they cant read a damn profile . Ours say no flirt, no hotlist, no friends request, but that doesn't stop them , that and 1/2 couldn't keep a damn hard on when we did play , taking a break for now

Single guys and women get flirts, hotlists and messages from couples they don't want anything to do with either. So it's happening all over the site. People not respecting the choices of others.

Some guys just don't have any idea of how to treat a woman. Then if theyvdo ever show up and get think they're gonna get lucky they soak they're tighty whities.

My profile is very specific too, and I know that most are not going to read my profile, comply with my requests (one of being to send me a picture - of their face, not their package, and preferably without glasses so you can actually see what they look like), or fit my criteria/preferences. These two had sent me pictures, had read my profile (I could tell by comments they made), and fit my preferences. *sigh* NEXT!!!! LMAO!

Thanks, Brockmanbites and funsnellvillecpl for contributing to the "NOT to do list"...such as "hey, read the profile" and "people not respecting others requests/choices". And thanks for letting me get on my soapbox for a few moments.

12pleas, it is generally those with a modicum of maturity, decency and of course common courtesy that comment to my rants. Thanks.

Zeke53028..."soak their tighty whities". Thanks for almost making me pass beer through my nose. LOL

And hornydude514484, no wasted chance...just postponed.

Thanks all for letting me vent. More silly ramblings tomorrow.

What you are dealing with are guys that never get replies from all their copy and paste messages.When someone that
does reply their already pissed off it isn't who they were
hoping it would be.Standing some up is their little pissy pay back.Do a better job of dudiligence.Two guys in one day seems a bit desperate.

Using more than all the road!


VarietyPlay77 replies on 8/22/2016 8:21 pm:
s2ndegree, thanks for covering all the bases. In the spirit of brevity, I only mentioned the pertinent facts. I always do my due diligence. I make them send me a picture OF THEIR FACE, I had made both of them jump through a few hoops, and I even tried to discourage them from meeting out with me, in order to determine their level of interest. And it was 2 in one weekend - one Friday night and one Saturday night...and it wasn't for an encounter, but just for the first "meet and greet" to see if there was even any chemistry to take it to the next step. I'm not desperate.

Yah, that's incredibly rude! I wish you the best on your next encounter.

Funny women are incredibly sexy!

pacnwlover42, thanks for wishing me the best on my next "meet and greet"...even if it is probably coming from a UDub fan...LMAO. Yeah, I had to give you a little shit since I'm a UA Wildcat.

I was over it almost as fast as I was annoyed by it. In the end, all it turned out to be was a topic for my blog.

Wow. No call equalls no courtesy. I think s2ndegree might be right. Those guys are little pissy people taking out their anger.
I would think of it as "their loss" not yours.


VarietyPlay77 replies on 8/22/2016 8:29 pm:
iwalkstilts...well, apparently Washington guys are gentlemen! And, yeah, it is totally their loss.

Thank you for sparing me from what I really deserved.You'll never have to read something so blatantly callous or ignorantly inane from this quasi dead geriatric zombie!
My sincerest apologies!

Using more than all the road!


VarietyPlay77 replies on 8/23/2016 4:06 am:
s2ndegree, no apology is necessary! I went back and reread, and you are spot on that it sounded like I was not being thorough, and a little reckless.

You have my word that future blogs will be less of a rant and more silliness.

I find myself wincing at some of the stories I have read.I guess maybe I am just to old school and place to much importance on making dates comfortable.I am a listener not a one track minder.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you
find that for for which makes you happy!
