I'll admit I fell for two chicks online. I used to talk to Whiteacid a lot, laugh together etc. I always had this corny idea of her visiting Michigan and needing a place to stay, so naturally she'd stay with me. It wasn't sexual, I just wanted to chill with her and be friends/cuddle/watch tv/etc.
The second of course was/is electrikluv. We talked in high school, college, after graduation, etc. Her humor and reading obsession mirrors mine, and obviously she's beautiful. I really wanted to go London this year for the Detroit Lions game, and perhaps meet up with her, but I didn't have time. We have another London game next year so maybe I'll be able to go.
I never offered to buy them shit or outright simp like GAFers do but I definitely did some low level simping. Nor did I lust after them sexually. Just awkward e-friendships. I think a major separator between myself and that gaf thread is that I have had female friends; my best, closest friend for a decade+ was a girl. It's pretty clear a lot of guys on gaf have never really talked to women, so any conversation is viewed with an importance and assumed undertone. You can tell a lot of them think WhereAreMahDragonz legit likes them for instance.
I see this at work all the time and it makes me feel bad for women. In many cases they can't be nice or friendly with a guy without him assuming she wants to bang. I've never respected the idea that men and women can't be friends, it seems to breed some really stupid shit on the lower levels.
