One a day, plus iron

I think the ads on Craigslist for W4M are indicative of the fact that men will pay for it where women, mostly, don't. There's probably more "Set up an account to view my profile" porn marketing crap going on in the W4M listings than there is in the M4W listings.

I've done my time on IRC, yes. It's actually a medium where I do quite well -- none of the annoying facial expression stuff, I don't have to think about how far away to stand from people, and nobody expects me to pick up on their nonverbal cues because there aren't any nonverbal cues. What IRC does is force the flesh people to interact with me on a level playing field, and it's really kind of fun because when I don't have to deal with all the other crap, I don't mind talking to people.

However, IRC is also a nonproductive time sink which keeps me from doing wholesome and educational activities in the real world... so I haven't touched it much at all since I quit sitting in front of a computer for eight(plus) hours a day.
