Heeheehee<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My fall annual conference is going to be held in Chicago this year.\u00a0 Last year it was held in Miami, Florida and I spent months hoping that Hottie would clear his schedule and come with me for 3 days of playing.\u00a0 But alas, he just couldn&#8217;t afford the ticket nor the time off work.<\/p>\n<p>This year I asked Sex God and while he WAS able to afford the ticket to the conference at the END of October to San Francisco (Yay!) he couldn&#8217;t do SF AND Chicago also.\u00a0\u00a0 So I got it into\u00a0 my head to try my dating profile to see if I could line up any company.\u00a0\u00a0 And you know you&#8217;re dying to hear about how THAT went!\u00a0 You naughty readers!<\/p>\n<p>See I never really end my membership off the site.\u00a0 I only close my profile to viewing so it SEEMs as if I left.\u00a0 And when I&#8217;m feeling bored with my current lovers, or of the amount of &#8220;want you&#8221; adoration THIS Aries needs&#8230; well, then I open my profile and see who emails me.<\/p>\n<p>I HAVE used the site to try and find some company when I&#8217;ve been on a work trip but it was extremely short notice and there were no answers to my emails.\u00a0 Which is why I decided to do this now in August.\u00a0 Giving me plenty of time to see what members in Chicago might enjoy a night out.\u00a0 And in.\u00a0\u00a0 So I updated the profile with a few new pix of me and a detailed opening paragraph clearly stating that I&#8217;m NOT interested in local guys only looking for &#8220;Chicago Cougar Connection for mid-October&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0 Literally, that was the tag line on my profile! lol<\/p>\n<p>And boy was that fun!\u00a0\u00a0 I can never tell which I love the most.\u00a0 The ego boost of their email when they see my profile or the ego boost of how pleased they are at the REAL me when they meet me or how I rock them in the bedroom if they get that far!<\/p>\n<p>But within 6 days I realized I needed to close this lovely profile as I was having a lot of fun but had more prospects than the 3 nights in Chicago would allow!\u00a0\u00a0 The numbers are:\u00a0 Total views of my profile in 6 days time = 1627.\u00a0\u00a0 Total flirts (non-email inquiries) 62&#8230; 33 of them were men &#8220;hotlisting&#8221; me.\u00a0\u00a0 I sent out 93 emails, but only 5 of them were me contacting men I was interested in.\u00a0 The rest were me answering emails sent to me.\u00a0 Because I STILL believe if you have the balls to send me an email I have the class to reply, even with a nice, &#8220;No, thank you&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Which is the reason I keep my profile closed.\u00a0 As I tend to compulsively want to answer emails and then someone might interest me and suddenly all my free time is sucked into this whirlwind void of dating NEW men and I don&#8217;t get to play with the other men!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m sure you are all wondering if I was successful\u00a0\u00a0 Oh, don&#8217;t be silly, of course I was!\u00a0 I clicked with several men in the first few days but when I realized I was favoring two and already HAD two additional I felt were in the running, I knew it was time to stop!\u00a0 Ironically the numbers are exactly even between Cubs and Men-My Age.\u00a0\u00a0 Even between the two local men who snuck past my defenses and clicked with my libido! lol<\/p>\n<p>And of those two, the man my age turns out to be a very good kisser, we shall see how he does on a Date.\u00a0 And the local Cub is both delicious, smart, interesting and has his own apartment!\u00a0 I cannot tell you how much of a plus that is!<\/p>\n<p>Oh but I&#8217;m now very, very excited about going to Chicago, too. \u00a0 With almost a month of email, texting, phone foreplay, this will be very fun!\u00a0 Very fun, indeed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fall annual conference is going to be held in Chicago this year.\u00a0 Last year it was held in Miami, Florida and I spent months hoping that Hottie would clear his schedule and come with me for 3 days of &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/?p=3793\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-just-ramblings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3793"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3808,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3793\/revisions\/3808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.heatherbarton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
