Frustrated with the low sex quality due to the awkward position, PokiMonk gradually gave up the useless communication with Princess Pea who simply would not yield during her weekly act. He started to become emotionally more unsatisfied and disengaged.
He started to fall back to the behavior during the short period when he decided to file divorce after the third quarter of the Seasonal Treats. He went online, browsed pretty girls, attempted to contact shamelessly, but knowing fully well that 95% of the people online were scammers for his money, and most of the rest were prostitutes or phone sex workers. He went through so many profiles that he could spot out a cat-fishing profile right away. It was always someone pretty, playing golf, on a yatch, dining or shopping luxuriously, travelling at expensive destination, and with a catchy philosophical headline in profile to show her life wisdom. It was basically a display of wealth and beauty.
Once in a very long while, he would come across somebody real. It was then that he would be agitated out of his complacency from his seemingly infidelity game. Not wanting to mis-lead any real women, he would explain carefully his current situation, pretending that there was an unfinished divorce or a future divorce, and that he was basically not ready yet for a new relationship for a few years. Otherwise, most of the other time, he continued his naughty way to chat with scammers on commodity trading, cryptocurrency investment, or meme stocks like Gamestop or AMC.
He would want to waste and frustrate the scammers in the maximal way. PokiMonk was not nice to them. Whatever time that he wasted with scammers, he saved the time that scammers could cheat another naive person. He had his evil fun.
Then he would even post his balances of his outsized stock portfolio. Not only it would frustrate the scammers, he wanted to see if he could still attract youth and beauty at his slightly advanced age. Like any alpha males, he wanted to prove his worth and demonstrate that he had the potential and attraction. Shameless and heartless. He thought that if he did not tell Princess Pea about any of his doing, everything would go its blissful way.
But Princess Pea always had ESP (extra-sensory perception) for any Peas out there. PokiMonk didn't know how, even when he thought he was an excellent disguiser. She just sensed everything. Repeatedly asking PokiMonk to reform his ways if he was still doing it prior to Monk's old divorce decision, she had never given up on PokiMonk, until ....
Likely, Princess' best friend posted as a pretty girl on Facebook name "Cat Cat" added and contacted PokiMonk. PokiMonk realizing that the person was not a scammer, explained and made up his usual fake divorce story to push the lady away but kept the door open, just in case the lady was still interested. "Cat Cat" was unlike any others and asked many questions. PokiMonk did not have too many thoughts about anything due to the perceived anonymity. He was just blatantly frank most of the time, and mixed in whatever stupid stories that he made up along the way. Who cares about all the lies and garbage that was said to a stranger?! He didn't give it a damn.
