The evil perils of the net...

A quick lesson here in paying close attention.

Eager as I am to entertainingly devour as much time on-line as I can, I spend a good deal of my time chatting to people and slowly building up a network of friends from all over the world. This place does half the work, for the other half I use various chat rooms and what not.

I was so chatting last night on the MSN chatrooms when I started to receive what I can best term as 'unwanted attention'. This went on for a good two hours with me being incresingly confused as to what the cause of it as.

I finally twigged when I saw the icon of myself in the chatroom was a female one. Which I was rather shocked to see, to say the least, as I was certain I had defined myself as a male and was sure that I had seen the male icon by myself lots of times.

I checked my profile, and discovered it had been hacked, and changed into the profile of a 30 year old woman, complete with small personal history and so on.

It took me bloody hours to change it all back; even when I had re-done my profile and 're-sexed' myself to male, I still had the female icon in the chat rooms, and was still receving a private message every few minutes from guys, many of which of a sexual nature...

Got it worked out in the end, which involved shutting all Microsoft software down, dumping my history files, temp files and cookies, re-downloading the chat software and returning. All the time in between when I had been checking if I had had any success yet was spent getting more PMs, as the only way to chec was to enter the chat rooms and look at my icon and scream when it was still female.

Didn't feel like explaining to the guys that tried to talk to me (who were also apparently too lazy to check my profile) that I was in fact a man, so I must have come across as a very rude woman, never answering back...

Well, all sorted now, but in future I think I will pay more attention to my own icon...

Being as on the net you are who you say you are, my two hour experience as a 30 year old woman did at least have the benefit in informing me just how much bloody harrassment females can get on-line! I;d rather I'd found it out in a less embarrassing way, though...

Admit it you enjoyed the attention really. In fact I'll bet you are sat in high heels and stocking right now logged on to MSN, in fact aren't you Big Bertha with whom I am conversing with right now?

Ooh, you naughty boy...

It must be you otherwise you wouldn't know that i was a naughty boy - damn I really thought I was in there.

EGAD, Ush. You could almost make a movie out of that. Or something.

I knew Ush was a woman, and 30 years old at that....don't let Ush lie to you, he doesn't want to let everyone know that he's always been a woman on the inside, yearning to get out....

lol.....poor Ush!....now you know why I don't even bother with profiles and such on chat sites...I am far too busy with school to chat long at any place....except here

Ush, you should have played along at first. Then told those guys you were a nasty she-male with an 11 inch love stick!!!!!!!!

So my hacking worked! Lovely. 😈

hehehe, on a music-forum someone started to speak russian to me, 'cause my profile said I was a 26 year old russian

Think my birthday is never correct on any forum/website

I said you were a totty magnet Ush, its just a shame that this time the totty was hairy arsed blokes. Eeep!

Were the chat-up lines really bad? I have a few cheesey gems I love to tell people.....

1. Excuse me love, did you hurt yourself?

When? (She replies)

When you fell from heaven!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Do you know there's a letter missing from my alphabet?

Which one? (She asks)

U.

I am the cheese-meister. 😄

The chat-up line least likely to work that actually did was done by my friend who simply approached a random woman in a nightclub and asked if she was 16. She was, in fact, 20 but that seemed to do the trick.

Well, I am sure as hell gonna stay away from prison...

The most direct approach I've ever seen was my mucka Davey, he just walked up to a girl and left nothing to the imagination about what he'd like to do to her that very evening. She put down her drink straight away and they left.

Had that been me I'd have been beaten up and arrested.

A friend of mine uses that approach all the time and he seldom fails to pick someone up on a night out, he does have many slapped faces etc before his final success.

'Are you 16?' though... I mean, the mentality behind that quesyion... baffles me.
