The short answer is that I came here for the boobs, and stayed because people were nice to me and friendly. I had heard of suicide girls years ago, and just figured it was another porn site. Never gave it much thought after that.
Then last spring, some friends said, let's go check out this burlesque show, having never been to one, I said sure why not. I had just had a birthday and these friends were breaking me out of a huge shell I had dealing with lots of social anxiety and depression for a long time. So I went with them to the Patio Theater in Chicago. We stood outside in line for a while, watching all the uber and lyft drivers drop people off, one crashed onto the poles they set up in front of the theater. Saw Kurt Russell standing in line to get in. We didn't pay for the primo seats or the meet and greet which I will probably spring for in October when they come back, but once inside and in our seats, we headed up to see what was for sale in the Merchandise booth. Standing there I got to meet @goose who was friendly and overheard my friend say, "pick something out for your birthday." She asked then if I wanted a picture with her and I said sure if you don't mind. She was so sweet and nice and gave me a hug. Later during the show when she was picking things up on stage as she was being the DJ too, I had to yell out, all right Goose!
The next day I joined the website, sent her a message saging thanks for being so cool to me and wishing her the best.
From there I started poking my way around here and seeing who is close to me, who has similar interests, and just who I may have something to share with. I've met some great people here, all of you are so friendly and kind. This is such a wonderful and supportive place.
I never knew what to expect here when I signed up, was not sure how people would treat each other as with so many other social media places, but I truly love it here. I have no expectations, and do not plan on using this as a hook up or dating site. I'm a realist and I bring no expectations. I just hope to make a couple of friends and enjoy some conversations with like minded people.
I would like to say I think I have made at least one friend here, and I was lucky enough to meet her as well @romany Thanks all of you for reading this, it's great to feel so welcome here, thanks to you who have decided to follow me, I appreciate it, and especially thanks to @romany for being so kind to me. It means alot.
