  1. It's most certainly a gender thing. Not totally, but for the most part. It seems as if most women....even older mature women...don't seem to take their financial or personal safety seriously when it comes to online behavior. I warned my stepdaughter so many times about posting all of her information online years ago, she ignored my warnings and ended up with an ex-boyfriend who stalked her and took her through an ordeal. She told me I was right and after the drama with her ex was cleared up she started being more cautious....for maybe HALF A YEAR.....and then went right back to posting all of her shit on Meta and TikTok again! She's her own paparazzi.
  2. LOL! you don't! Shoot, I doubt you wanna see a regular woman all natural So you wanna see warts and all huh? puckered hips, flabby stomachs, bat wings, hair everywhere -- most of it grey, bald spots, scars, keloids, moles age spots, wrinkles.... If that is what people clamored for that is what we would get.
  3. I had not considered there may be gender component to doing this. I’ve known so many women, over so many years that post so much personal information on social, that I have long since given up even commenting about the activity to them. That behavior will not change anytime soon, as social media creates all types of incentives for people to share as much as possible about themselves. It’s one of the reasons I deleted my original Facebook account. But going back to the point of this conversation 🙂 I’ve considered the fact that something that I, or someone else, has written here could be taken out of context and come back to bite me in the real worl. I’m not anonymous, because it takes some effort to do it, and I’m too lazy to maintain anonymity. @Mel Hopkins I might stop short of the word “love.” but if you consider the fact that AALBC.com is almost 30 years old with the boatload of content and there’s increasingly less competition from other website, AALBC really should rank high in search be referenced by aggregators. But I still feel that Google search has done more harm to the web than it has to benefit it. I think AI will do even more harm so much more that it poses and existential threat to the WWW we know today. I’m not confident what we get in return will be better than what we have today.
  4. 2010 -- Wow! Another thing I noticed as I get older, besides loosing someone every five minutes ☹️ is that my perception of time has really sped up! It is hard to believe 2026 is already half over!
