DISQUS

Wow, I've known about your effect on women, and it seems to go beyond proximity (i.e., when you date them or spend more than 20 minutes with one). You can reach them through their computer screens! This convo sounds like a drawn-out break-up.

I suggest a disclaimer on your Twitter profile, Web site, etc...

"My online presences are for males only. This is not sexism, but for the protection of general female mental health. Exposure to me by females, in direct or electronic form, leads to disorientation, confusion, hormone imbalance, fits of rage, cognitive dissonance, dementia, memory loss, loss of coherent speech, mild and situational psychosis, and Tourette's Syndrome."

I just based the symptoms on what you've told me about your ex-girlfriends and dating experiences ;-)

Google has been my primary tool - using both GMail and GTalk-in-Gmail to maintain everything from quick conversations to project management issues. I try to avoid the phone for project management conversation, and when I do get on the phone, do my best to keep it concise and on-topic, so not to occupy time and attention without good reason.

My Area of Opportunity is embracing social networking more - Twitter, blog commenting, forums, etc. For those who do, it's shown to work. Social networking is just a challenging habit to develop for some (or maybe just me).
