Married with one child (daughter) from my first marriage and she is 23. I robbed the cradle for my second marriage. I am 47 and my wife is 29!
 
Yep and hookers there aren't "hookers", "prostitutes" or even "sex workers", they're "providers". Human trafficking is just a myth concocted by evil feminists who need to be bent over a table and shown that men are still in charge, and divorce is everyone's fault but the hobbyist's own.
Well, prostitutes are providers. Is their forum about prostitution or human trafficking?

On the fringes you'll have sex addicts and celibates.
We prefer the term "sex enthusiast."

You mean we prefer the term sex enthusiast :lol:
It's still a fringe, but it's a nicer fringe. :mallory:

"Provider" is a euphemism used by the forum's participants in their efforts to ignore, deny and rationalize their participation in human trafficking, if that's what you want to know. Makes a compelling case study in psychological self-delusion and other repellant human behaviors.

"Reviews" of trafficking victims' services are routinely posted in these forums, and participants are regularly shouted down by others and banned by admin if they air their suspicions about a possibly trafficked 'provider' publicly. Links to articles and police reports detailing trafficking busts are usually removed from the forum and the poster banned.

Not all hookers are trafficked, but I can point you to the ones that are. The current profile of a traffic victim is: Russian, Asian or Central American immigrant, speaks limited/no English, works for an agency or claims to be independent with a "manager" (their traffickers/pimps), and does high volume (8+ men per day) incall-only appointments in major coastal cities. They're also the most popular prostitutes on these sites.
 
In a relationship - common law married, you could say, if that had any standing whatsoever. Public-sector-wage-married would be my phrase.

Same here, but I am happy to say that, very soon, I will no longer be babysitting a 39 year old big baby anymore <3

Good riddance, tiny.

Wow, have you finally decided to call it quits with that verbally abusive partner of yours? Good decision.
Yeah, good for you KT :)
 
Single and If i'm being honest, loving it...heres why

*Not having to spend money on gifts and crap
*Not having to pay compliments
*Not having to make the bed
*Not having to worry about not calling or texting
*Not hiding the fact I check out other girls when i'm out

And numerous other reasons, sure, I miss the sex, but being able to give yourself a good old scratch and not worry about getting stick for being so disgusting from your partner is just bliss :D
 
Single, and not seeing anyone. Waiting for the 'right' guy, I suppose, but I'm not in a big rush or anything.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a basement nerd, however, considering I don't have a basement here in college housing.
 
^ When I was in college, the dorm room I lived in was rather basement-like (even though it was on the 12th floor :lol: ). Assuming dorm rooms these days are similar, you can still fulfill the need for nerd. :techman:

Side note: 12-floor dorms make GREAT lazer tag arenas.
 
Single. Just dumped by boyfriend of 4 years over religion.
Meaning he thought he was God and you didn’t?

(Yeah, it’s old. But still funny.)

Close. Apparently marrying me would be a sin and his option of marrying someone else and still seeing me was quickly rejected. If you try to make sense of it your head might explode.
How could marrying someone be a sin? Are you not in the same caste or something?:confused:

Well, if these people are in bondage, this should be a useful site for law enforcement.

This type of sites' continued existence can be attributed to two factors:

1). The servers for these types of sites are over seas and outside of US jurisdiction, so they can't be shut down. However, the postings, if made by an IP originating in the US, can be collected as evidence in a court of law, which leads me to:

2). From an LE POV, nabbing the participants is like shooting fish in a barrel. The sites crawl with law enforcement trolls. Quite a dynamic to observe.

May sound strange, and I don't know the cultural/religious context behind your situation, I can say I have more or less been there. I wasn't "spiritual" enough and did not display proper deference to the gender hierarchy in the religion I was raised in; therefore I was incapable of being "reasonable and rational" (lulz I know, coming from a religious fundamentalist.) He did display an interest in keeping me as a friend he could make out with (this again being a religious fundamentalist who was terrified of actual sex) until he found a more suitable mate. When I turned that offer down, well that was just proof of how stubborn, irrational, uncompliant and unsuitable I was! :lol:
