This is why I THINK board presence should be comparable to or even outweigh references. If a guy is on here enough, people know his handle, has a posting history, etc., these are things I would think should be taken into account.
Potential references aren’t always waiting around to be used as a reference. That and, maybe I’m overthinking here, but it seems that no one LIKES giving references anyway.
I know the spirit of giving them may be there, but we’re all human. Oftentimes mental fatigue gets the best of us, particularly when it involves something of no immediate gain.
[Provider of reference] Oh, geez. You want me remember a guy I fucked 7 weeks ago??
Ummm, he was OK, I guess. He didn’t try to hurt me or run off with my money or anything. What do you want me to say?
(She May just be THINKING this, but won’t type it. These never come at a good time)
Am I ball parking it, ladies?
