The first thing that brought me to iV was The Diary of V, part of the Redbook pages.
I've been following this soap opera for a couple of years now, and V has now entered the world of OLD. Her comments today were SO stereotypical (IMO) - part of her first phone conversation with an OLD dude:
I told him about the one guy who told me straight off that he was interested only in very buxom women, and the other one who assumed I was a Native American and asked me for my Indian name. "Mine is Soaring Crow," he said, noting that he was 1/16th Chippewa on his father's side. I wrote back and politely explained that I didn't think we'd be a good match. (I'd never tell him the truth: I can't date a guy who's five feet tall. No offense to the little people, but I am simply not attracted to very short men.) I never did ask him where he got the idea that I was Native American.
JP made me laugh hard (big points for that) and asked about my work (more points). When he asked about Pete I was circumspect; I just don't feel comfortable talking about my son with strangers I've met online. For all I know, he's a pedophile who gets to kids through their single mothers. He didn't probe, and I didn't offer any more information. I was amazed at how easy our conversation was; before I knew it, we'd talked for almost an hour. I didn't want to seem overeager, so I moved first to end the conversation.
Here is the Redbook page, in case anyone else wants to get sucked into an on line soap opera! LOL http://magazines.ivillage.com/redbook


That was an entertaining read. I just read the current installment. .
I think someone needs to direct V to our board for a little support. But she does seem to have her head on pretty straight all things considered.
Oh, my goodness, this line had me ROTFLMAO: "I didn't want to seem overeager, so I moved first to end the conversation."
Um, honey, if you talked for "almost an hour", that ship sailed a LOOONG time ago!!!
Besides, as we all know, appearing overeager isn't the issue here. What a newbie...she needs this board!!!

I LOVE this:
"There was an email from JP waiting for me when I got home. It said, simply, "G'night, cutie."
I did the next logical thing. I Googled him."
See? She's not completely lost.
But I'm also thinking of changing my headline to "I'm good cook and make nice sex."
ROFLMAO
You'd get more responses than you could deal with.
