Dear Jane,

I, too have experienced weird instant messages on AOL.  Some were
discussed here.  I asked one whether he was a pervert!  The instant
messages slowed way down when I changed my member profile (take a look,
I'm [log in to unmask]).

I did get propositioned the other day...  Guy gave me his age, eye and
hair color, asked me whether I had ever had an affair.  I tried to look
up his member profile, then asked what he was hiding, since he didn't
have one.  He said he was married.  I told him if he'd work on his
marriage, he wouldn't have to look for sex on the internet!  He hasn't
written back...

Apparantly the words the perverts look for are "milk" and "lactation".
Sometimes "breastfeeding".  Staying matter-of-fact and scientific seems
to discourage the weird ones.

Good luck on the internet,


Margie Forrest in WPB, still fighting my cold.
