(Full disclosure: story below is part true and part fiction. You'll need to figure out which is which.)
Have you ever voted on a FCF poll fight, commented with your reasons why you voted that way, and had one of the women contact you to thank you? I have, and am here to tell you what happened.
You can call me sinclairfan. A few months ago, I voted for Kristen_spoiled in a FCF poll vs bobby1. I then wrote a gushing note, explaining my reasons why Kristen_spoiled was the better woman in every way. Well, wouldn't you know, my comments carried Kristen_spoiled to a come-from-behind victory in the poll by a single vote, 109-108. Kristen_spoiled must have had some IRL animosity with bobby1, because she emailed me a gushing thank you note. After 2-3 weeks of some flirtatious email and YIM exchanges, we flew to meet each other IRL.
Now, a gentleman doesn't kiss-and-tell, so don't expect any details of our meetup. But, suffice to say, within a month I had arranged for a job transfer to Kristen_spoiled's city, and we were quite the item.
About a month after that, Kristen_spoiled started receiving some, shall we say, stalker-ish emails from bobby1. Seems bobby1 had experienced the mirror-image experience to Kristen_spoiled. After bobby1's close poll defeat, her longtime partner had seen her in a new light, the thrill was gone, and he moved out in a trial separation. He told bobby1 that only an IRL avenging of her loss would allow him to feel the way he had before about bobby1.
(I'll let everyone know what happened next, but only if there's interest.)
