An Account Of Deactivated Accounts

An Account Of Deactivated Accounts Previously on Passion, Peeves and Ponderings... When last we met, we shared with you the story of a little experiment we did, wherein we emailed the same basic letter to 21 different people over the course of 7 days. What we didn't say was that this little test took place some time back, and therefore, as we "researched" the facts of that tale, we needed to go All the way back through our email file to find those particular missives. One of the things that struck us during that search, was the number of times we saw "Deactivated Account" on those older emails. Starkly shining through in bold red print, they stand out as beacons of loss in a Sea of Conversation. Somewhere, somehow, folk with a somewhat similar mindset to ours felt the light of joy fade away for them ; enough so that they felt the need to pull the plug on their conduit to meeting similar people in the future. Who knows what may have led to this precipitous decision? Relationship breakdown? Ill health? Boredom? Bad experiences? Compromised discretion? A lack of successful outcomes?? .... Whatever the reasons, { and we didn't even include fake profiles....} the Lovely Siren and I feel a small loss with every glowing red notice. As you might recall, the two of us are rather conversational, and we like to believe that a large part of the happiness we achieve with our playmates comes from establishing an ongoing rapport. Some might even go so far as to refer to it as friendship. At some point with each of these profiles, we believed that this was what was about to happen. Contact was established, chat was exchanged, and the process of getting to know someone new was begun. And while many, if not all, of these deactivated accounts withered on the vine, there still had been that initial flush of hope that something real lay just over the horizon. Even with so many of these profiles laying dormant, a sentimental pair like Siren and myself always felt a fondness for those past encounters. { Feel free to replace "sentimental" with "gullible" if you so choose...} With the discovery of the scarlet letters "DEACTIVATED ACCOUNT", these long lost acquaintances are well and truly gone forever. As we've said many times in the past, we KNOW we aren't the average couple here on the site. Perhaps the soft focus that we exhibit in this regard merely reinforces those differences. Still, whatever the case, we remain true to our original intent in creating a profile here. That is : Finding friendly people who think the same way that we do, and enjoying spending some time together with them. Possibly naked. Given the somewhat less than optimal parameters created with these preferences, we tend to ( perhaps) overvalue the people who might seem to fulfill our requirements. Small wonder then that the loss of each one of these who visited with us, however briefly, causes a momentary touch of sadness. Now.... It's time to get out there and send off a few emails to get the whole process started all over again!
