The web cam affair

I don't know about you, but I don't use webcam. I don't switch mine on, and i don't accept video calls even if they were from Oprah Winfrey. There are  a lot of freaks out there and i don't like to take any chances. No offence Oprah.
That being said , i am not a "معقدة" kind of person. I just believe that a photo is as good as a webcam to get to know how the other person looks like. You want to know more, meet the person up and get the real live feed.
On the dating scene , there are these men who are  all about webcam. As soon as someone ads you to their messenger , the first words that they type is "Do you have a webcam?'.
The answer to that question is very tricky. If you say No, well the messenger shows that u have a webcam (which is very stupid of  MSN)  and basically you are caught lying. If you say Yes, then of course "switch your cam on" is the next sentence that you will see  appearing on your chat window from  your chat partner.
The well mannered person in me tries to always be nice and to assume that not everyone who wants to use a webcam is a pervert sitting in their underwear. So i say " i do have a webcam, but i don't think that's the way to know a person, we can chat and if we get along, we meet up for coffee somewhere"
At that point, Mr. Chatter will respond with "انتي معقده منو يتزوجج مدام ابسط شي ما تبين تسوينه" "ترا انا ماقولج تعالي طلعي وياي كلها كام " .
This Scenario has happened so many times that its enough for me to call it a phenomenon. If you don't open your webcam to chatters , immediately you are diagnosed with Webcam Rex, you are officially a psychopath and closed minded . You will never ever date or marry and  you will miss your chance on becoming a porn movie star with tens of Youtube videos. That's something i will  live to  regret, or maybe not.

Women are the new men

I am as open minded and non judgmental as they come but female interaction is not my thing.
The dating site that i am on doesn't allow members of the same gender to contact each other. So, if someone wants to do that, they would have to create a profile posing as a member of the opposite sex (a female who wants to contact females, have to create a profile as a guy).  A lot of work, and you have to pay for it as well. Nothing in life comes free, even memberships on dating sites.
A nickname like C-Dior  could be very well used by a guy. There are lots of  cosmopolitan men out there who are into fashion and designer clothes. Nothing , so far , is weird in getting an email from Mr. Dater AKA C-Dior.
I looked at the profile, right age group, tall, & athletic so when a chat request came, i was at my keyboard typing. All me fellow women  know you cant resist a man who is into designers , esp Christian Dior.
Mr. Dater & I start talking .All general stuff, the weather, things to do in Kuwait , TV shows. Mr. Dater loves Christian Dior Saddle purse. Mr. dater also knows that the decent woman does not wear two different colours on her fingernails and toenails. All common beauty knowledge EVERYMAN should know, right ? nothing weird so far ? As a matter of fact , things couldn't be better, a guy who knows about make up , cool  .
BUT when we talk lipstick and a man says that the best red lipstick ever is  Chanel Rouge Hydra base Creme Lipstick in Red N°5, you know something is wrong. Only  a woman would know that  precise information. Mr. C-dior is definitely a Miss Dior.
Merci Mademoiselle Chanel
