Seriously SLS?

hahaha. ikr?

I can't even tell you how irked I would be to find that someone had shit in my hat.

See, you got me paranoid now. INo, I'm just fucking with Current. He was giving me a little PA and I gave him a little back for it. Ok, maybe a little more than a little.

Nothing serious about it. And now that you made me say it, he'll probably tell me to go shit in my hat. So thanks for that.

Whatever feels right for her. Give her our best.

All good. The Mrs is fine, she just wants to get down a little more so her confidence is a little better.

All good. I read the profile, hope YOU guys are well.

Take care.

Always good to read anything from you.

Hoping you are well.

Too much vaca time.

Mah bad.

Pixie, I’ll just chalk that up to Wild Card Weekend shenanigans ;-P

Baaah! Where did all this nonsense come from? The Current and I... well... no matter.

Another time, Current!

Another. Time. Indeed.

If their membership had expired, then they were no longer paying members and reverted to ‘free’ membership status and as such were not entitled to all the perks of a pay or lifetime member.
You do get a message when you’re a paying member that your account is expiring to give you time to extend or convert to Lifetime or you can just choose to let it run out.

Pretty sure free members can’t even read the forums now

Unfortunately Mayhem, the "Free" membership comes with really bare bones access here.

The profiles are accessible (sans nude photos), forums are readable but one cannot post, and e-mails are not accessible for reading or responding.

Should a paying member have contacted someone with a free membership and wonder why no reply, it is completely due to the fact that they cannot see what you sent nor contact you back.

When the Federal Law was put in place, every website similar to SLS had to cover their ass to keep from getting in a heap 'o trouble.

And there you have it; Someone's gone and done it! ...introduced logic into the conversation...

Sadly, Mayhem, thats gone the way of the slide rule, or as my son used to call it, that weird ruler thing.

More of an observation than anything else, but a search on a couple that was paying and their account expired (meaning they are free members) returned no results. We met them at a party and I know that I got their online name correct.

I would think being able to read (but not respond) to email from paying members would give people more incentive to become paying members so kind of surprised that it doesn't work that way.

either I have someone blocked or pixie is talking to himself...

Here's the problem with assholes, and I dare say, even fucking assholes, present company excluded of course. At first glance, it would appear to be a gender-neutral term, but upon closer examination I ask you, is it really? It is true some have been critical of my genius in the past, but they are mostly assholes, so bear with me here.

When your lovely one, the one who certainly must possess the patience of Job, comes in to say, "The Asshole next door has blocked the driveway," would you not generally expect she would be referring to a male? It's just another way the girls get over on us, but that's rambling drivel for another time, my point is, we need more appropriate, truly gender-nuetral insults. Christ, it's almost 2020! If I should spot some douchebag, (another example, no one calls a chic a douchebag), headed into the women's restroom, I'm not sure "Hey Asshole" works. What if he hasn't declared a gender for the day yet, and I address him with a gender specific (I contend) pronoun? The ramifications of a tramatic experience such as this are terrifying and could lead to a very expensive and lengthy Starbucks therapy session. And somehow, someway, you and I, just a couple of average Joe Asshole taxpayers will end up paying for it!

Short story shorter, take time to examine those "gender-nuetral" terms of not-so-endearment. The life you enhance could be your own. And let's face it, you're already putting one poor woman thru a living hell. Do you really want more on your conscience?

"Asshole", and even "Fucking Asshole" are, on the other hand, gender neutral and therefore perfectly acceptable.

If it was still allowed, I would sooo tell you how gay you are right now.
But it ISN'T allowed because it is mean and insensitive and inconsiderate and bad. Really bad. It's what really bad people do.
Like people who don't pick up after their dog when it poops at the dog park, or when they're just out for a walk and it poops in some random minority or gay couple's yard and they say something really fucked up like, "Who cares? They're gay." Which truly is fucked up because even though I have never personally asked one, I feel strongly that gay couples probably don't want random dog poop in their yards. They probably don't want any kind of random poop in their yards, come to think of it. I know I don't. They say you can use it for like a compost, but have you ever lived around anyone with a compost? They're like "We're very earth considerate." And you're thinking, yes, but it smells like dog shit. So you ask, "Got a lot of shit in there, right?" Oooh yes. Lots. "Yep. Knew it."

But anyway, back to the first people. The bad ones. These people still use other human's sexual preferences as insults. And THAT is why I don't do it. So stop making me want to.

Temptress.

Gee with such a winning attitude I can see why you have carpel tunnel in your delete button finger. Must be tons of people who want to get close to you. And who could blame them?

And right back at you. You can guess which part.

How rude of me. I neglected to wish you a Happy New Year!

Nah. It was more of a "Go fuck yourself".

So that's a yes?

"And - here is an open question - Is anyone out there really hot enough to be so inundated with single male emails that they're a enormous burden to delete?"

LOL

"For those who get peeped but not contacted, call it the price of doing business and be glad someone stopped by."

Oh come on! Seriously? Would you even want a date with a guy who was so lacking in the "having a life" department as to be living for the hope that some couple with a blocked profile will perve his?

And - here is an open question - Is anyone out there really hot enough to be so inundated with single male emails that they're a enormous burden to delete? Our couples profile is open to single males with minimal interest shown and we are very clear that our profile is only open to males so we can network and chat with friends, and though we are sometimes interested in single males that we meet at parties and clubs, we have no interest in setting up special meets on line - so please respect that and don't message us. Probably half to two thirds of the profile views we get are from single males. Maybe a quarter of the emails we get (we're hardly overwhelmed by emails in general after being on the site for years) are from single males. So most males seem to be respecting our wishes. Maybe a quarter of these are fishing by saying something like "just wanted to complement you on your outlook, your profile, etc". They get a terse "Thanks" in lieu of a "Right. Nice try dude". The rest are immediately deleted. the few who email more than once are blocked. It doesn't take any time, thought or emotion. All in all it's much easier than getting an invitation for a meet and greet from a couple who are either massively unfit, or just plain not very attractive. Coming up with a polite "No thank you" and letting someone down who actually deserves a response is much more of a challenge. At least for me.
