It finally dawned on me that I could use a blog post as a way to coordinate IM/chat times or otherwise pass information on to other standard members.
So, that's what this is for.

Home sick with a cold

What can I say - it's boring to be stuck home with a cold and hanging out here is a very odd thing to do (it isn't as if I'm at my most attractive.)
So - what do you find boring? Or is your life too hectic for boredom?

Giving up on Gold

It just isn't worth it to me anymore. I can't justify the cost with the miserable lack of results. Even the eye candy isn't worth it. It's too frustrating to keep trying.
I've subscribed to Gold Membership for about a year now. I've gotten one (or two) dates out of it. I've sent thousands of e-mail messages.
I've used the "Page" system to try to interact with women. Frankly, I think that most of the time it doesn't work at all - that the alert doesn't even reach them. Of course, whether they even notice the gently flashing alert in time or decide to answer it (even negatively) is another matter.
This place isn't worth my money.
The last time I paid for the Gold membership, the charges went through Hong Kong. Frankly, I don't see the need to launder transactions through China - unless they need the protection of a semi-corrupt system of government.
This place isn't sure if it's Couples Dating.COM or Couples Dating.COM
It's time to say goodbye. I tried. To keep on trying, expecting results when none occur, is an act of insanity - repeating an action over and over, expecting somehow the results to change.

It's March and Time To Post

A sunny day in March now - although a bit cold to be outside long. I was at a local park (Bird Hills) for a short hike. It was overcast then, although not so overcast I lost my sense of direction. The sun still offered a bright spot through the clouds, and once I got into the little ravines away from the highway, it was enjoyable. However, there was so much spring mud that I couldn't drift off into any spring reveries - dancing over the black stuff without slipping on last fall's leaves required too much attention.
I'm bored, and feeling kind of edgy. It isn't pleasant. The sun is here and gone as the clouds drift by.

In the hope of improving the quality of my eye-candy (web cam viewing) on this site, I offer the following for the women here (I am not interested in viewing men or TV/TS):
(*) Don't scowl into the camera. If you can't help but scowl (because you're face is permanently frozen into a grimace of intense misery), show your torso (I am most appreciative of the rounded curves of a woman - breasts, hips, shoulders.)
(*) Don't show close-ups of you tickling your clit. I'd rather see a scowling face. I understand you're pleased, but I'd rather imagine an embrace - not a visit to a meat market.
(*) If you have audio on, please don't play loud music. I'd rather have the vicarious experience of listening to your thoughts than some banging 70s era rock-n-roll.
(*) Check your lighting. A middle range of lighting offers the best contrast - strong sunlight or dark rooms can spoil my lecherous window shopping.
----------------
I'm not asking you to respond to my pages or refrain from kicking me off your webcam - that's your policy. If you have a reason to boot me off, I'd appreciate learning what it is so I don't offend you in the future, but I understand that sending of personalized messages to every jerk on this site can leave you with no time for your own enjoyment.
To your good health. Spring (Northern Hemisphere) is coming...

Arghhhhh!
Now that I have some time off from the , I'm sick with a nasty cold.
Worse, I'm horny as hell and my brain is stuck on the idea of watching Battlestar Galactica tonight cuddled up with a woman.
Gahhhhhhhh.

More grumbling about chat rooms

Chat rooms bug me. Too busy, too cliqueish, at least as far as I can tell.
Given that I like to think about what I'm writing and have never adopted cell-phone texting methods, I'm a poor candidate for participating in a chat room - certainly a poor candidate for building up a reputation sufficient for being paid attention to in a chat room.
Do you have any stories about getting noticed in a chat room? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Or should I go back to chasing off my lawn?

If anyone's listening, I'm sure I'm going to catch grief for this, but it's been on the edge of my consciousness here for some time and like a 5th grader with a juicy fart joke, I can't help but speak out:
What possesses people to put up pictures of themselves scowling, frowning, or in poor lighting? I can (mostly) excuse the lack of thought given about the background of the photo (even if it does make the picture unappealing), but some of the other photographic sins I mention result in truly horrifying images.
It's even worse when the handle suggests that they eat body parts.
I imagine what a zombie would put in their profile.
The only thing missing is a groan of "BRAINS!"
Of course, given that my handle is "beardedgeek", a handle that isn't exactly positive, what do I know.

Ok. So much for being so angry as to let my subscription lapse. (Actually I did, but then suffered withdraw pangs.)
I'm still miffed about their credit card number retention policy, and it's even worse that they don't encrypt (hash, actually) the account password. And it seems that the charges go through China.
This is one scary operation.
But I'm still here.
I want to see the pretty women. I want the pretty women to see me. With luck, one will even talk to me someday.

AutoRENEW mysteriously turned back on

Couples Dating recently sent me notices that my subscriptions were about to expire. Since I was sure I had AutoRENEW set off, I thought it would be OK to just let things expire. (I've had almost no luck here with dates, but the online chat is fun. I had mixed feelings.)
This morning, I checked my account. AutoRENEW was back on.
I might have changed my mind about renewing before, but they've lost my trust, especially as they seem to be keeping my credit card number.

My Second Couples Dating Date! -- Is Couples Dating candy to other sites dinner?

My first Couples Dating date was shortly after I originally joined. It was a picnic lunch in the park sort of date, and while nice enough, nothing ever came of it. I was lonely, horny, and still in shock from my ex wanting a divorce. (And now, I'm occasionally lonely, still horny, and a bit glum over being unemployed after 22 years at the same job.)
My latest date, last night, was nice enough. Just a meeting for coffee (her) and ice-cream (me, mint chocolate chip) and a chat. She was honest and I'd like to think she enjoyed our chat too, but as far as I could tell, we didn't click. (We certainly didn't end up bumping.) We each come at life from very different directions, and I'm just too cautious (and perhaps still too jumpy from my relationship with my ex) to "click". Or maybe we just didn't click.
But that's OK. I've had dates from other sites too. Most didn't click. Most were nice enough. Actually, most of my dates were from one particular other site, but that site doesn't offer the visual candy that Couples Dating does.
So, is Couples Dating a candy shop to other sites more satisfying restaurants? Does that matter?

Standards of Normality

I hope that most people do a reality-check every once in a while and wonders what "Normal" is, and whether they're "Normal Enough". The only ones I can think of that wouldn't be interested would be the sociopathic types like meth addicts, spammers, financiers, CEOs, and people like that.
Right now, I'm wondering if I need to put a penis picture up.
After all, it seems as if most of the males here have one up there and a lot of women have pictures of their vagina. Wouldn't that make me abnormal to not have a penis picture, especially as my main picture?
On the other hand, making snarky comments about genital photography seems pretty normal too.
Whew.
This better than talk-therapy!
