So on a side note why you stop swinging? Is Amp world better?
MY GF, who was a SO for maybe 6 years and I amicably split up as I was heading to my 40's, and wanted to start a family (there is more to life than swinging, drinking, mongering, making money until it's time to die IMHO) and she didn't. We still exchange Christmas cards.
Plus my swinging phase (6 years of it) was starting to get old in my mind. So I started with the personal ad's (they were actually an ad you placed in Newsday with a box # and people respond to it (to the ND box #) via a letter snail mail wise. Was something like 20 bucks for the ad.
I was actually looking for a long term relationship but I got so many responses (100/mo of which 1/3 were very doable — and I did them. This doesn't include the ones I met at various sigles night (Unitarian Church in Setauket was a gold mine
I was getting laid with 4 or 5 different women a week) and I was running my tech company (10 hours a day) travelling on business everywhere, and I was bringing talent I picked up on the street in the middle of the night (
@billyS lala and shelia were two) back to the building to do them in various parts of the building, that I came to realize that if I didn't slow down I was going to crash and burn. Things got so bad that I yelled at my secretary once when she said Irene called and I said "are you sure it was Irene and not Eileen?" so I knew it was getting out of hand.
Luckily I had no alcohol of drug issues.
