Computer Literacy


When I find someone here that I want to get to know a little better, I, like many others, go from A F F communications to other instant messengers. I am reluctant to give out a phone number until I am sure it is someone I'd consider meeting since blocking is a lot more difficult than blocking an email or IM.

Occasionally, someone intrigues me who isn't much of an online chatter and not very familiar with IMing. I find myself reluctant to pursue getting to know him because I am very computer and internet oriented. I email, IM or text at work, with friends and family. I read newspapers, magazines, opinion pages, blogs, and use google to look up or research pretty much anything that I need to know or is just on my mind. I question whether I can be compatible with someone who isn't fully computer literate.

I also have to question men who say they can't figure out how to send a picture or sign on to IMs, but seemed to find their way to A F F and most likely are able to navigate themselves to porn sites.

I am really getting picky, aren't I? Or am I?

 Even for guys, that should be a requirement before meeting someone....I have helped some people how to do some of those things, yes the effort should be there if you want the goodies...

 You are NOT picky at all! I'm also reluctant to pursue people who are leery of the internet. That's how it seems to me when people say they don't chat or email or cam. That can't figure out how to send a picture from their phone. For me, those are red flags, not of the neanderthal kind but of the "I'm keeping this a secret" kind.

I wonder about the secrecy thing too. You have to wonder how truthful someone is if they hold back info. I have a rule, unless they send a picture and chat somewhere other than A F F I don't meet.

 seems your questions are 2 possibly 3 fold ,tech compatibility can be trained if that's the true reason for non contact. as for men saying they cant post a pic or log into IMs those people I feel are just silly game players that use this site as a tool to fool others for some reasons of their own as I found many playing with me during my tenure on this site. women and men alike play out their fantasy full well knowing they will never meet or do the thing they claim to on here. picky you say ,,,hmmm you are prolly just weeding thru all the BS on here I believe !

Over the years I've become quite the gardening weeding through the bs here and other dating sites. Quite beneficial since I believe in the adage you reap what you sow.
