Ozzo (Then: Feb 2009)

I come to realise that the Tagged website is not for business networking. In the space of a few hours surfing it I get hit on by men across all the Eastern Block asking me if I want a nice Husband. I get a message from a frenchman who tells me he is looking for a mistress. Most of the profile photographs of men look like police mugshots of undesirables. The ones that do look interesting have posted a fake photograph. Everyone is lying. The extent of the conversation I can get out of most of them is along the lines of "Sup?"

Im about to delete my profile in frustration when I stumble over a guy who proclaims himself to  be the biggest event manager in Londons Westend and is looking to network with people in the same industry. Perfect! I email him and tell him about my experience at Disney World and on Cruiseships. He writes back and asks me to meet for coffee so that he can advise me about setting up my Events Business.

Great! I think to myself. Little did I know.
