"Linked In is Not A Dating Site" ..By Maureen McNeil-Finerty
This is NOT going to be a hit piece on Linked In. I have always enjoyed being a member here. My friends are here, family members, Favorite Boss too. While we all struggled through the Pandemic & working from home ,The #WeAreAllInThisTogether Movement ..I thought to write a little piece on how even with some of the most fascinating & intelligent Men & Women here as members that Linked In is not and never has been a dating website.
When I first joined as a member this site was very different from what it is now. I noticed several young ladies selling themselves very discreetly here..I even was approached by a Lady "Manager" from the UK asking Me when I was coming to visit the UK as she " arranged" dates with wealthy men and all I had to do was accept a limo ride, fine meal & wines and be eye candy on the men's arms. I told the nice "manager" that I would be travelling with a man and she said, "Oh that's fine..Just let me know when you are coming to the UK." Linked in was a wild place to be in those days.
As an Actor/Writer I have received some interesting email messages over the years. When I began writing Erotica to just see if I could, it opened up a lot more doors for Me. I admit I ran into a lot of married men who were dealing with sick wives who no longer could keep up with their husbands sexual demands/needs. I am a great listener and felt sorry for these men..If there is a tale or story to be told, I have heard it or know someone who experienced it. The one problem I ran into on Linked ? Where there are married men ..there are the wives they are married too.. The wives began looking at my profile and creating one of their own to confront me..Here on Linked, to my blog even to Facebook..I kept hearing what a BAD girl I was. Every insulting word one can think of for a woman, it was thrown at me. One wife even threatened to divorce her Husband ( who was ONLY a Great friend of mine. His heart belonged to some Other woman in San Diego ) for talking to me. I tried so hard to explain time and time again that I was only a friend to them..but no, I am a woman so I had to be a Bad Girl , homewrecker or just plain whore/trollop. You get the idea. One time I was even in the middle of a friend and his Girlfriend ( who he later married ) who fought because he said "Giddyup" in a private message to me over his horrible April 1 joke on Facebook where his friends became very angry with him and I encouraged him to apologize to those he had worried. They fought, he is arrested and the GF and I kept talking to help her through this mess..(They later ended up married and he told me ( after calling me for hours and begging me to help him get his GF back ) I was only a bad memory of that night so he could not be friends with me anymore. His GF kept messaging me until they married. I truly hope they will make it.
Next up, my latest tale of erotica ..I worked very hard on this tale and the memories of the "incident" that inspired it ..I was chatting with a male friend here and I noticed one of his female connections kept looking at my profile..I accepted her on my Linked In connection list and she began sending me messages every time I logged onto the site..I did not mind that as she seemed nice. Until the day I logged into Linked and voila the message from her was why did I write about her Sex life with my male friend ? I sent my male buddy a message asking if he knew what this was about..Next up a message from her demanding to know why I had asked him about this..Turns out the two of them were "involved" in sexting and she came to Linked ( a site her own husband is on ) to as she told me, "Help please men." She likes to please a lot of men it seems and came to Linked to do it..One moment she is telling me to be her friend, I remind me of her own daughter, than she says she wants to write erotica, next that she has never been in love, is a virgin ..Loved "C" (My male buddy) AND is terrified of losing her meal ticket Hubby..She raced to find me at Facebook to be her friend, to help her write sci fi, how she can't lose her marriage..How she is simply a Great-Grandmother who cybers men in need. How my erotica had done something to her.. This is why I tell my Male & female friends to be wary of people who pretend to be one thing or another that is not truth based. She quit Linked, Her hubby stayed here as a member and "C" fled the site vowing to never return. WHO got the blame for this mess ? Me and my erotica which drove a raging Great-Grandmother from Florida to quit the site after threatening to tell "C"s family & company he works for the "truth" about their interlude and threatening Me too.
This is why I keep reminding people...LINKED IN is not and has never been a dating site. There are 3 thousand+ dating sites online to enjoy. I have noticed a number of Linked In Profiles that clearly state "NOT HERE FOR DATING." (along with that they are not here for Bitcoin or investments either )
Don't get me wrong, I adore men & admire all the amazing women here..I just do not want to see any of You have to go through what I have. I think I heard some laughter and that is a great thing to hear after all we've been through since #2020. You are all wonderful men and women who work so hard for all you Have and want to achieve.
Just one thing...If a Great-Grandmother named Diana from Florida wants to "help please you." Just say NO and run away, far away and it will not be my fault or my erotic tales..I merely created the scenes of a man and a woman enjoying their bodies and NO, I did not know about her sex life nor wrote about it either.
Feel Free to laugh, chuckle and guffaw..I know I did while recalling My adventures in Linked In Land..
Has anything like this happened to you on this site or another ??? Want to share a funny story ? Or even a Sad story ? Feel free to share.
Happy Linked In-ing,
Maureen McNeil-Finerty
