Everybody dating online is vulnerable to hearing that they need to step aside for the object of their affection's next challenge, and everybody at some point looks at what they have and thinks that they can do better. The sea is so full it becomes a feeding frenzy of daters chasing the next floating morsel, thinking every bite not yet chomped might make a more perfect meal. The distraction floating before me arrived in a message that simply said hi and nothing else. Clicking through this brief email led to a woman's profile that was scantly filled out but illustrated with jarringly salacious photos. This woman who sent me a single word greeting was young and in incredible shape. One of her pictures was a closeup of her ass in yoga pants with a caption boasting that hard work pays off. Another photo was a closeup of her bust with a caption teasing that buying her a drink might pay off, too. I messaged this new woman for a date and she promptly sent back her phone number.
