Maybe not a good idea to post a advert asking for a young lady, it might make people think the wrong ideas about you. Please do bear in mind that wrong planet is not a pick up joint, singles bar, dating agency etc etc.
This may be true. However, this is the 21st century. It's not like the old days, when people could buy a paper subscription to the dating want ads and see a bunch of profiles in there. I'm more than confident that there's more going on behind the scenes of this forum that what people want to admit - meaning there's a number of people I'd venture to guess who could see WP as a "pick up joint" and such. There's various ways to meet people, and this forum is just one of them to whomever sees it that way.
Well I see a difference in two people randomly meeting and then finding each other attractive. I have heard of people finding love in all manner of odd places. Such as I have heard of a couple who meet at a scientific conference. If a person was single and unattached and was for argument sakes to meet someone on WP who made them happy and was attractive to them. That is in terms of one mind attracting the other, then if it was mutual it could be the start of a friendship which might then turn into a sexual attraction thing. I guess that it has happened more than once on the wrong planet. To me there is nothing wrong with that, if it happens to two people here then I would feel happy for them and wish that they have found partners for life and that it works out for them and they get to grow old together.
However I take a different view of a person who comes to the wrong planet looking for sex, or who asks in a crude and sexually explicit manner for a partner. The OP did not ask for sex or for a partner in a crude or rude manner but I thought it was my duty as a good citizen of WP to gently remind him and others that WP is not a pick up joint.
I did not like it when someone put "facepalm" in a post, if the person had made an honest mistake I think it is better to gently tell them the error of they ways rather than to mock them. I think that punishing a person by mocking them is wrong, it is better to put someone on the straight and narrow rather then mocking them or throwing stones at them while they wallow in a mud filled pit.
A range of people come here for mutual support, they (we) come here to try to make our lives a little better. We come here sometimes to make contact with our own kind. I have had dealings with members of both genders, I have never thought of the other members as possible partners for sex or romance. If I was to go 'skirt chasing' on wrong planet then it would poison my relationship with the other members of WP, make female members uncomfortable and contribute to a poisoning of the common air of the wrong planet. If a sizeable group of men where to spend their time 'skirt chasing' here then it would drive away a large number of members and ruin the community.
