This week we kick off a new blog where Brooklyn-based singer/writer Alina Simone teaches us how to use the Internet for its penultimate purpose: chatting with random men.

“…how to use the Internet for its penultimate purpose: chatting with random men.”
Its second-to-last purpose?
I was reading Alina Simone’s Chats With Random Men on her blog before it was cool. No but seriously, I love these conversations and it’s great to see them reproduced here. I don’t know how all these colourful individuals manage to track her down, but I hope they continue to find and harass her.
