I've not met another known zoo in person, perhaps due to my shyness and reluctance to let anyone know. I imagine it would be a completely liberating experience.

I've have met a few people from the internet (BF, aol, etc.) for the purpose of doing or talking about animal related stuff. There was one guy in NJ who shared his mare with me once, which was nice. Usually though I don't get beyond the talking online or on the phone stage. I have found that most people aren't interested in men with animals; only women. So most men, women and couples are really only interested in meeting women into the lifestyle in RL :-(

I haven't met anyone because they're a zoo, or to share zoo experiences, and I can't say that I really plan to. I get to know people, and if I find out they're a zoo, cool. If not, cool. And even if they are, I'm very squicked by the idea of meeting somebody who's not a partner for the purposes of that kind of thing. It's something I've never understood and don't really want to take part in.

The only zoo type people I've met have been zoo because of sheer luck and coincidence, one of them is currently my boyfriend. And yes, distance is a problem.

I haven't met anyone from BF, and I've only met maybe a dozen people over the last 10+ years of online interactions through AOL chatrooms (way back in the day), an online blog/journal community, and a few other message boards. Sometimes there was a sexual undertone to the interactions, where we'd established something of a flirtatious and sexual rapport, but with every person I met, there was never the intent or expectation for anything sexual. We met because we had good chemistry when chatting online or over the phone, we shared numerous common interests and compatible personality traits, and the idea of meeting, hanging out, and spending time together in the real world was mutually appealing. And, sure, there was definitely an interest in seeing where it might lead. But going into it, we never had any expectations beyond good company, and I think that's key.

I think whenever you meet anyone from online, you need to approach it realistically and with as few expectations as possible. If you have your heart set on a specific outcome or you have all those preconceived expectations, it puts entirely too much pressure on everyone involved. You may even try to force things, or you may get easily frustrated that it's not working out like you imagined, and that's likely going to doom the endeavor before you ever get started. First time meetings, regardless of how long you've known the person or how comfortable you are online, can make anyone tense or anxious, so you don't want to do anything to exacerbate the situation. Best to approach meetings as fun little adventures, going into them with no expectations and an open mind while being equally mindful of the other person's feelings and the vibe you get from them. You really need to just go with the flow.

Of the people I've met, I ended up dating a couple for a time, I became and still am good friends with a few, a handful were enjoyable company but we eventually drifted apart due to distance and whatnot, and only one or two were bad experiences. So all I can say is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Take a chance, see where it goes, and remember to have fun and stay safe.

I don't have any gargoyles, I'm glad for that :D

Well EV, what if they were literally like one of the gargoyles off the old cartoon show Gargoyles. What about then ;)

It has been my dream to meet some of the people on this forum, but some of the people that seem to be the nicest are just too far away from my local area. I wish sometimes that I could travel anywhere in the world, not just to meet bf members, but also so that I could visit all the countries that I've dreamed of visiting like Australia, New Zealand, the Cook Islands and Tonga.

I have placed several personals in the section of the bf personals that pertains to me, but no one seems interested in my ads at all and I guess that's not surprising, given the fact that I am totally blind. What this means, is that I can't chat with you folks in the chat room because the chat client for this forum simply won't work for me using my Window Eyes speech program so this would mean that I'd have to pm people, graduate to E-mails and then possibly phone calls if it seems that we have a lot in common and obviously no one at least in the Toronto area seems interested in doing this. Of course, another problem is the age difference. Most of the folks putting personals on the forum are anywhere from 18 to 30 years old, and I am nearly 54.

I have seen discrimination in terms of dating women throughout the years, and several dating services that I became involved with even told me right out that they doubted if they could find even one date for me because one of the questions asked in their questionaires, was would a person be willing to date someone with a disability, and in most cases, women said absolutely not. I guess I am glad that these dating services were totally honest and leveled with me and didn't just take my money like they could have. Still, I must admit that it's rather disappointing that even on a beastiality and zoophilia forum, I'm still running into the same shit because I had really hoped to make some friends and eventually meet some folks here.

Now, last Christmas evening something very interesting happened. One particular bf member that I had become pretty close to and had been exchanging lots of
E-mails and audio messages with, actually called me and revealed his true identity to me. He had kept mentioning a particular guide dog school that was located in a former home town of mine, and amazingly we discovered that we had actually met each other some 25 years previous. So that was quite a revilation.

I think that it is important not to rush head long into meeting someone. You should take things very slowly and be careful. I do have a few people that I exchange both ER-mails and private messages with but none of them are in my local area. Anyway, there are always new people joining this forum every day, and I am in hopes that maybe some day, I will really click with someone and perhaps we'll meet. That would really be nice.

Shy

I'm new here (this is just day 2) and am curious to see to what extent I can get to know others and eventually meet some of them for real life experiences. I have met a half dozen or so people from other non-beast sites but since developing and interest in K9, I thought I would give this a try. Good luck to us both! :beer:

i would love to meet anyone from here but havent and im shure my k9 would too
