“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”. –Albert Einstein<\/p>\n
Meeting a great guy online is possible. People do it. But, based on my own experience, online fora are a terrible way to meet quality guys. (note: livejournal is not primarily about meeting guys for me, and yet, somehow, I’ve had a better signal to noise ratio from it. Anyway…). <\/p>\n
After a spectacularly dishonest fellow I met last night, I’m inclined to recognize that my various online meeting mechanisms are unproductive, time wasting habits that I’m better off without. I’ll retain the friends I’ve made from them and find better ways of wasting time. <\/p>\n
And just to raise the barrier to entry a bit on getting back in to bad habits, I’ll delete all the relevant accounts, including gay.com, and the various personals services (yahoo, salon, planetout, gaydar, etc). I guess this leaves real life, face to face fora. Maybe I can find one or two that will work for me. Hmmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
