Looking for friends?

Thinking about this for a few minutes... you need to bear in mind that this collective writes erotica for fun. So for many, the social and sexual inhibitions that were drilled into our heads have been cast aside and we tend to express ourselves openly, especially in this quasi-anonymous setting.

And don't forget the "fun" part. We play off and with each other here - some more than others. Don't always feel it necessary to jump in. I don't, usually - sometimes it's entertaining to simply sit back and enjoy your popcorn.
When I said forward I more meant some messages I was getting that I hadn’t expected. I do understand your perspective though
 
Please do know that most of the 'authors' are, in reality, a recluse and avoid people. It's here that many get to interact with others. Do remember, when asking for an opinion. That opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. But, regardless we are genuinely nice people.
Well I wasn’t really asking for an opinion. I worded my post that way because of a few aggressive messages I got but I’ve been more filled in on how things works now. Thank you

Oh, right, you're a woman so it makes sense the forum creepers have sniffed you out. Anyone who sends you something like that just put them on ignore. This is a writing forum, not Tinder, but grabby little boys will be grabby little boys.

One of these days I'm going to create a female alt and make a list of the creeps and post it along with their messages.

Thank you. I was very put off and intimidated but some nice people have reached out so I’m feeling better about it all.

Oh. OK. I keep overlooking the backchannels. That they are frequently a tool for sexual harassment... well... that's on the site's ownership, in my opinion. Sadly, that's also the way of the online world in general. ...sigh...

Yes. I’m not a fan but finding like minded people irl is also difficult.

The problem is amplified here by the fact its an erotic/ sex story site.

Guys see a woman who writes sex stories and automatically assume that must mean she's open to...well, whatever little perversion they have in mind.
 
Welcome to the AH. Stop by the coffee shop when you get settled in. Some very nice people infest, I mean, inhabit the place. Lots of coffee drank and lots of conversations had across the worlds spectrum's.

As for me, I'm just a dirty old man and I'm always upfront about it but then again I'm more or less harmless.

I think guys that think like that would be highly disappointed by my content.

My wife and kids make fun of me because I have four apps on my phone. Paypal/cashapp/waze and words with friends, which is the only online game I play.

I guess in addition to how many followers you have on social media, how cluttered your phone is can be used to rate your social status.

Weird thing to make fun of one for. I wish my phone was less cluttered
 
The Hangout is primarily about discussing writing for me, but the social side (I'm told) hangs out in the AH Coffeehouse. Many of us are a bit ornery about some things, but I like to think that in the end, we're all united in wanting to tell good stories people can enjoy.

The coffeehouse? What is this?
 
I’m a dirty-minded middle-aged man in Central Texas. I’m moderately wealthy, good looking, and knowledgeable about various things. I have always enjoyed visiting here and sharing stories on Lit. I’m single and would love more friends. I’m a recluse but it’s not by choice. Every dating site I visit gets me nothing but fakers or ignores. Was married for 7 years, then we developed irreconcilable differences and she left me 6 years ago. I would love to try dating again, but don’t see it happening any time soon. Does this depress me? Would I like for someone from this site who’s into me to hook up with me sometime somehow? Yes and yes.

At the same time, I’m not about to try and force the issue by harassing anyone. I don’t know anyone here personally and there’s a lot of potential for words to be taken the wrong way. I also don’t even know if anyone is in my area or would be interested in me even if they were. Or if they’d be IRL the same as they are here. I would be, but not everyone feels as I do regarding masks.

Let’s make it easy. Stay online friends and leave it at that. Or message me privately if *you* want more- but I’m NOT expecting it. Thank you.
 
Hello! Just looking to meet other authors that might want to form friendships. I’m new to using forums and stuff so maybe that’s not allowed? I’m not sure. Hoping to meet nice people. That is all.
Welcome. You will get all kinds of responses. Just weed through them and enjoy.
