The year was 2012. I think it was a combination of curiosity and feeling like dating was a big sham - both guy and girl put forward their best selves but both individuals have different expectations. Anyway I hadn't found SH yet so I was literally walking in to random parlors and trying to act like I knew the game and failing miserably. Finally I stumbled on this little spot off canal and mulberry (201c canal) and found magic. I became determined to find other places ... There had to be other guys out there like me who were in search of the same thing. I found SH soon thereafter and started absorbing and sharing as much as I could.
Life has changed quite a bit for me since that faithful day. I still hobby. Some days I wish I didn't as I hate the feeling of feeling addicted or in need.
Anyway...that's my first time. Would be happy to hear the various stories from fellow mongers...what got you into it? Do you regret it? Was it sheer luck or a calculated strategy that led you to your first time?
