I'd always wondered why some women have very sexual e-mail addresses, or use very sexual nicknames on forums and such. This puzzled me when I first set out on the internet and encountered such nicknames.
Surely everyone on the internet for even just a few weeks will come across some, such as: hotlips4u, softnsilky, hornybaby, sweetnsexy, sugarkissmamma, etc.
Heck, even if you only use the internet for work purposes you might come across such nicknames, because some women use e-mail addresses like that to conduct business correspondence. I've heard of people actually sending resumes for corporate jobs using those types of e-mail addresses.
Why would a woman choose such a nickname when she's going to be judged first by her internet nickname? Even in a strictly social environment, it would seem to me that it's inviting sexual objectification right from the get-go. I would've thought actually defeats the once often pushed idea that someone can get to know someone else's mind before their body on the internet.
And then it occurred to me... it's the way to "dress provocatively" in places on the internet where otherwise no one would know if the girl was wearing a low cut dress sans bra & down to the belly button, a mini-skirt without underwear, or deliberately letting g-string underwear show in some butt cleavage.
No wonder why it struck me that women with such nicknames were "on the make".
And no wonder why it would never occur to me to choose a nickname like domebigboyimeasy. Because I'm not 'on the make'... I don't want to get mixed up in sexual contexts on the internet with people who would objectify me.
I was particularly put off of internet dating services, when I heard women using the service have actually been recommended to use such sexual nicknames, because apparently it significantly boosts the offers a woman will get from men on the service. Frankly, from my point of view, that doesn't speak well of the men on the service. And it confirmed my suspicion that internet dating services are really just the internet equivalent of meeting in a bar... 'the meat market'.
Am I saying it's wrong for a woman to tend to her appearance and want to look attractive? Not at all.
Do I think it's wrong that people pick each other up for meaningless affairs based on cheap carnal lust in 'meat markets'? Definitely not my business to tell other people what to do or not to do.
But do I think showing butt cleavage is attractive? Not at all.
So you won't see me sporting a nickname on the internet like sweetloverpie.
