I was doing some sketchy shite way before it was accepted Positively in society

I loved the tiered friends people would put in their profile:

MY ABSOLUTE BFFs: Kim, Alexis, Jamie, and Lauren H.

My other best girls: Lauren C., Erin, Lindsay, Nicole, and Jessica

AOL and Yahoo IM were definitely a hookup machine for me in the late 90s/early 2000s, especially considering I was a broke college kid and broke college graduate.



I got my first hand job at 15 from AOL and this thread made me remember it. The thing was, it was from this married woman that was in her mid 20's. Somehow we got to messaging and it turned out she was on a street behind me. She was a bigger woman, married with kids. I go over there to meet her and she ended up jerking me off. Even comparing it to my other sexual experiences the whole thing was odd even if you take out the pedo stuff

I think I learned to flirt in AIM, but I never translated that to the real world.

I think I still have some random convos I screenshotted.

I remember having Yahoo messenger & talking in the chat rooms.

You were the shite if you had a webcam back then. Haha. I still remember the Logitech one I had and how it was such a pain in the arse if it got moved to set it back properly on the base with the thick cord.

You have good memory of this Pio for being a 19 yr old :winky face: ;)
