EXTRAIT

Des aventures surprenantes et parfois cocasses allaient en découler.
Au cours de nos tribulations, mon esprit logique et réaliste, je dirais même scientifique (fruit de mes études), s’est confronté aux délires insouciants de l. a. gesticulante Lili.
En revanche, notre alliance pour traquer « l’homme », un « gibier » dont nous allions apprendre petit à petit les moeurs et les issues faibles, nous rendit encore plus soudées. Nos différences, mais aussi notre complémentarité, nous permirent de faire une étude plus plentiful à propos de ces fameux websites et du potentiel de séduction qu’il reste aux femmes lorsque los angeles soixantaine est passée.
Nous dévalâmes ainsi, en tandem bancal, mais étrangement solide, un nouveau chemin qui nous mena à vitesse grand V au sexe opposé : le chemin du virtuel…
Une grande et enrichissante aventure.
