I'm not being dismissive of personal interaction. I met my love who I have been with for the past 10 years online. When we met for the first time over a couple of drinks, she casually mentioned upon us leaving she had a hood piercing.
Now, if I wished to, or wanted to I could have just deleted that from my mind and moved on. But, because I had met her, we sat and chatted for hours, circumstances and body language became more to the fore.
It just so happened we had a connection on other levels.
If someone wished on the other hand just to send photos of cock or vagina, and that would seem the sole purpose of their communication, then don't answer, move on, if someone wishes to know you, they will make the attempt to actually know you.
I often get accused of, stupidity, dumbfuckery and having a bar set to high.
What a lot of people do not see, and the majority of the time I do not allow myself to show it, is my depth, my honesty and my stupid at times ( and I curse ) conscience which for some reason I have inherited from somewhere which steers my life.
I have become comfortable in the years getting to know me.
I am dismissive of the internet because it has drifted from a place of enjoyment and knowledge sharing, to a place of opinion. It allows everyone to express an opinion, without really knowing everyone else.
This might droll on a bit, but....My first wife used to work in Data, when the first computers punched holes in cards for your personal information to be stored. Before credit cards, bank cards or ID.
These days, people think it is all new..that they can enter the internet and it's all hush, hush
.
The only true interaction is going to be between individuals. I am dismissive of the aura of the almighty internet to control lives. Because it knows all anyway, it was uploaded from previous technology.
If you do not want an identity on the internet to influence your life, you delete them. If you feel there is something there, you meet them.
Body language has always been my clincher.
No, I am not dismissive, nor am I that liberally permissive either. Well, I like the odd, the different, the kinky and unusual. But, it's one of those things I have come to accept about myself, anyone who does not like it. Tough.
