"Her Virtual Reality"

You've read my older posts about telephone chatlines. The ones I told you of work like this. 30 men call in 50 women call in. You scroll thru the ads and if you hear somebody you want to talk to you do one of 2 things. You either press 2 and send them a brief recorded message, or you press one for "live connect" where you talk in real time.

But some of the oddest chatlines work like this. One is called "Hotel California" You enter different "rooms" each room (like room 1) had one or two people who greet you in a prerecorded message. These tend to be folks with zero formal education and strong accents and rural drawls. So, a greeting for room 15 might say this "Hey, this is Psycho bitch and welcome to room 15. Here's the rules
I don't take no shit off of nobody so if you're gonna come in here and talk shit your ass is either gonna get booted or blocked. I don't put up with no drama"

So, if you like what you hear on the outside greeting you can enter a room. In these chatlines there are plenty of folks who are married but who have never met. People who have their marital ceremonies conducted over the phone. Talk for years but have never met. One woman "Playboy 4 u" is getting ready to move from Las Vegas to Nowhere Utah to be with her mr. right. She told me that all that is needed is "a will to make a relationship work" It is my udnerstanding that she has never met this guy. Onece you enter a room you're on a party line so to speak. The folks some of the "married" ones or "best"friends watch t.v. together. Both parties turn on channel 2 then discuss the show that's on. Some couoples prepare the same dinner and eat at the same time even tho they are in different states!

I don't know about u folks, but don't these relationships sounds a bit empty?
