"For some people, it is a way of life; for others, it wasn't meant to be........" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (Original Article) HEARTBREAK IN CYBERSPACE Having too many on-line affairs gets a computer Casanova strung up on an electronic bulletin board Have a seat. Switch on the computer. Dial into a network. Type in a password. And welcome to the world of the WELL -- the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link. Romance may be just a few keystrokes or the click of a mouse away. The California-based electronic bulletin board is one of the many new cybersocieties where men and women can meet and message each other in a network less smoky than a singles bar, less nerve-racking than a blind date. There are no worries about appearances. No flesh. No sweat. Utopia? No way. Romance gone awry has gummed up even this most sophisticated of social circuits. Meet Lisa, Nancy and Beth (not their real names). In January, Lisa, 42, made contact with a man by way of the electronic bulletin board. Entranced with his terminal manner, Lisa allowed their e-mail relationship to progress to "voice-level" -- that is, they called each other and soon were satisfying their mutual lust in steamy phone sex that sometimes lasted up to four hours. The bills were huge. He lived on the East Coast, she on the West. Lisa thought she was in love, and she believe he felt the same way. Nancy, 31, met her man electronically in May and began a near daily phone relationship that she found so satisfying it drove her to distraction. He made her believe she was the only one he was so intimate with, and he soon had her complete trust. Beth, 38, also logged on to an intimate relationship with a WELL man. They communicated regularly, and he made her feel unique and special. Describing herself as "no anive young thing," Beth nevertheless says, "when someone tells you what you need to hear, you begin to wonder if some kind of magic has happened." Lisa was so enthralled with her bulletin-board lover that she decided to move on to what WELL users call an F2F -- a face-to-face. She agreed to split the cost of a plane ticket to fly her telephonic paramour to the West Coast. "We had a great weekend," she says, "including fabulous sex." But afterwards her lover turned cold, and the e-mail correspondence dissolved. A heartbroken Lisa grieved on a section of the network called WOW (Women on the WELL) -- where no men are allowed. And that is how she met Beth and Nancy and discovered that they had all been involved with the same man. Let's call him Mr. X. ~~~~~~~~~pkp~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~pkp~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^_^ 키즈의 아저씨 pkp palindrome ^L^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
