Opting Out

To whose benefit is the doubt? Well
you never know, do you? On the one hand
it is a charitable act of benevolence on
initially bringing to mind that the world
is a notoriously lonely place leaving the
unaccompanied unhappy in a never
ending search for companionship. So he
could of course be one of those who are
in fact legion and not what his overture
might claim him to be, a creep more or
less. It's happy hunting season, you know
on the Internet with the irresistible presence
of so many and varied social sites to prowl
and it takes no energy whatever, simply
following basic barbarian instinct to
strike and hope the note you hit seemed
appropriately musical to the ear of the
woman flattered by a male attestation of
immediate attraction to the deep pool
of her eyes, so forgive him, he could not
help himself, and do you mind? Flattery
often does draw the attention of the target
and then common sense and instinct prevail
identifying the creep. All of this gaming 
has a simple solution: when preening and
posting attractive photos of self, remember
to add date of birth; just settle for 1936.
