Welcome.
I read your bio. good luck, Sir.
I hope he is kidding, lol.
Don't expect too much, and no, you're not getting laid.
since you are here to use the site's dating aspect, my advice is... don't treat it like other dating sites. this doesn't work as well, i am told (since i'm not looking) if you just put yourself out as a product, or someone looking for a product. rather, it works best when you find posts on topics that interest you and respond to them, and make posts on topics (other than dating) that interest you, too. you will learn who everyone is, make some friends, and maybe make a friend who becomes more than a friend. in this respect it's more natural than most dating sites, where you say who you are, say who you're looking for, and then either sit back and wait for bites, or go bite someone else's promo. this way, you can really get to know people to an extent BEFORE trying to get intimate. watch out for scammers: if the picture looks like a model, it's probably stolen, and the profile along with it. you'll get hit with private messages designed to hook you and then rob you. love just doesn't happen that fast. friendship is the best basis for love.
