So… it gets to be a month since I’ve seen the NH Man… and he shows no sign of wanting to meet again.  It seems fair to give up after a month?  I am getting really frustrated!  I need to be touched!  But I don’t want to put myself out there again.

Then Ashley Madison sends me an email mid-afternoon.  A man has written me a message.  They say that whether the guy “winked” or “made you a favorite” or wrote an actual message.  But they don’t tell you what or show you the message.  Of course, I have to log in to see it.  They used to send the message but now it’s all about the clicks.

I’ve been getting a lot of these emails, but no actual messages.  I dutifully go look at the guy’s profile anyway and… I dunno.  No one interests me.  They don’t write enough for me to tell.  Or they write way too much about role playing and one-night stands.  Or there are 10 typos in the three sentences they wrote.  *sigh

The email shows the stats from his profile and a photo.  His profile name is fine – something like FreeSpirit77.  Doesn’t mean much, but it’s way better than the Best69-4U or BigSchlongUdig guys.

I stare at the photo.  It’s a color photo of the back of a man steering a boat.  Not a cropped photo with his arm around a woman barely cut out or a strange selfie with a mask photoshopped over his eyes, but a great photo of a man and a body of water on a beautiful day!  I am not into boating but he has nice shoulders.

I read that over the stats:

Hmm… 62.  That’s about the same age as the NH Man.  Age doesn’t mean much to me, except that I’ve had good luck with older men.  It probably means he is a couple years older, at least.

Another NH Man?  Never heard of the town.  I check Google Maps for the location.  It’s about an hour away.  That sounds perfect.  Not the coast but near the big highways.  He probably lives somewhere around there.  Most men pick the swankiest town near where they live, so they don’t give away their true location, and sound better than they are.

Hmmm… I ask for men 6’0.  He’s close…

190 pounds?  That seems skinny to me.

Something long term?  Nice.  Please let it be true!  Men think women want to see that so they say it no matter what their real goals are.

Attached.  Good.  I don’t deal with single men.  They have odd expectations.

And he is male.  I like those!

Ethnicity: White… fine.  Whatever.  Most of the men on AM are.

============

So… definitely worth a look.  I logged on to AM and read his profile.

No checkboxes!  Yay!  He wrote three complete paragraphs with no typos!  He sounded wonderful.  It had me smiling and nodding, even giggled a bit.  It went something like this:

I noticed he had already given me access to his photo.  There was a great one of his smile!  It made me feel like he would be a lot of fun.  And make my day better.  He had white hair and beard and looked like… a skinny Santa Claus!  Ho ho ho!
