Ever wonder what it was like for fursuiters and furries in general back in the days before the internet?

This article appeared in the UK edition of Marie Claire magazine for October 1997.

The article go into detail of how cons were formed just so furries can hang out together. As well as profiles of other furries and their stories. I really like the photos though like the one I borrowed for this article. It shows what fursuits were like some 20 years ago. If your interested in the early days of the fandom, you really need to read this article

Recently I got reminded about an article I seen on Flayrah.com about Online Dating. After mentioning it to some, that was when the HORROR stories came out. Including my personal one where my date was a arrested on 5 felony counts at the place where we were to hook up. Yes, that really did happen. Like the ones of sexual predators, insane perverts, and the one that seems to be the most common. This wasn’t what I was looking for. After getting kicked off both eHarmony and Match.com for not looking good enough. Also especially after my experience on Pounced.com where I didn’t get a single reply to my post. I am not really into these sites, mainly because I agree with the common complaint in the article that these sites prey upon your weaknesses. They know you want someone, so they are constantly drawing you in, targeting what little hope you have. It isn’t illegal, it’s just a way for them to making more money, I don’t care which site you try it’s all the same. Really besides the ads on TV and online I don’t know of a single one that has ever gotten a date from any of those sites. I have a friend who tried FurFling, paid what he had to and didn’t get a single reply in 6 months before he quit.

Really I would only be guessing at the reasons why, like why I hadn’t had a date in so long I can’t even remember. Sometimes I think I am happier without someone. Mainly because I can do what I like and no one telling me I am wrong.
