January 5, 2000, on Using the Internet to Pick up Babes and/or Hunks:
Speaking as a netter (since 1993, before I cruised this page I felt like a pseudo-veteran, now I realize I'm just out of short pants) who managed to marry a fellow netter, I think some advice for the male gender (you females don't need any advice, at least, none that I can give you) would be this: Go on IRC and elsewhere and find out how many of your gender behave. Then, do the exact opposite. In addition, it doesn't hurt to plot. My story: On my profile in ICQ, I put down that I had three cats, because I figured I would seem like a nice, harmless guy. My wife-to-be messaged me in random chat because... I said I had three cats and was therefore probably a nice harmless guy. We've been married over a year now. Plotting works. Cheers, -Brian
