That is easy to anwser, because most people are not honest...period sad but true..

you are so right and it goes both ways. Makes it hard to trust anyone these days.

it just seems that people will tell you what they think you want to hear just so they can get what they want from you...whatever it may be...and then just walk away like nothing is wrong...I don't get it...

Hi darling.....

I will skip the relationship bit since I truly at this moment in time am not looking for a relationship....

Having said that however, I find that I am highly enjoying the 'on-line' ones that have evolved.....

I was here before and then deleted my membership for a few months....have only just come back on lately......

and to my amazement discovered it's really nice to stay in touch....I am not lonely, nor alone and in real life have a healthy social environ to enjoy...

but being here is in fact like being in a pub with a load of friends and acquaintances......

I enjoy the banter, the talk, the sexual innuendos, the laughter, with people my own age, but with different and certainly more entertaining and stimulating then the ones I can possibly meet here by going to the local pub or something like that.

And you can do it comfortably on the sofa in front of the fire too....

Those are my thoughts.....

I'm with gozoman on this one. This "dating" online is simply another social outlet. Just don't make it the top priority in your life. I have found I must still do things locally to maintain that human touch and interaction thing. Having this as another outlet is simply that: another outlet.

thanks for sharing Gozo...I understand where you are coming from.

Honest, I got ten minutes before the fourth quarter... is that enough time?

I guess not all people here are looking someone for relatiohip,some of us want only to make friendship in online to get knows people fom other countries and diffirent cultures and etc..

Yeah in these days its really hard to find people who is honest and whom you can trust, and want to have a serious relationship.

but if we are looking for a serious relationship we should not lost our hopes,and no need to hurry to find our soulmate somewhere ,speccially if we are thinking to settled well in futured with the person you want to be with ,love is very interesing when you dont find it.

your funny...

I fully agree. I just came out of a 3 month relationship where she stole almost 1700 dollars from me. I thought she was the genuine article. Tell me who I am going to trust now. The police have a warrent out for her arrest.

I undertsand what is being said about dishonesty, but I don't understand it. Why lie? The truth always comes out in the end (no pun intended). Why post pics that aren't you? Don't you think anyone will catch on? Are people that insecure? I am me and I just post as me. I don't do anything to impress anyone or mislead them because it will truly never work with anyone if your basing meeting someone with lies. Maybe I am naive, maybe you don't like me for me, but thats life. You don't like everyone you meet, and if we were all the same what be be the point? WE are all different and that is what attracts people to each other, being different in some ways and similar in others. But lying seems to me to be counter productive and a waste of time. For all anyone knows I am 75 yrs old, 856 lbs, living in a dumpster using a stolen laptop connecting to the internet via a wifi hotspot, and if I was, what would be the point? Integrety and honesty seem to have dissappeared from society and it is a shame.

It is the ME generation. Some ME's never see past ME. Some ME"S will do anything to others to get what is in it for ME. SO! there is no trust! Each person seems to be fighting for ego and selfesteem while doing this the ME's tear down all others around them. There are a few who do not live this ME.....they live life fair and honest thinking of others.....and get a royal screwing!



"The love of many shall wax cold."

Thought's..............I hav none.........

I dunno but somehow...the words what goes around comes around come to mind and we get what we give....Sometimes when we do things to win the love of someone...that are underhanded...or what we think is love at the time...it comes back on us 10 fold....so it's always good to be careful what you wish for....

My experience...
I don't do any effort to find love at this moment. Not here, not in real life. If i found love here it would be a bonus, but never i cared about impressing because i don't believe in the guys that are here. Once here, always here, they never disconnect from "being available" online because it's a way they find to feel extra desired. Relationships do have their ups and downs, internet is a rescue to their souls when their partner annoyed them. I don't want my future husband in here, out!

The one thing that interests me on this thread is that we all agree that being dishonest about who you are is common on online sites. But I have to wonder what someone must feel about themselves if they can't be who they are online? Or anywhere for that matter? We all want to get to know the true person. I'm a full figured girl and say so. Telling strangers I'm a size 4 would be counterproductive to me. If I meet a great guy I'd have to explain why I suddenly gained lots of weight or am using a old picture. What would be the point? I would just be setting us both up for a let down. Life has enough of those, why create more? But unfortunately for those of us who are honest about ourselves it's hard to sift through the dishonest people to find the genuine article. I think this is why it's called " the dating game". Play along, ladies and gentlemen and find your needle in the haystack! Good luck to all of us and may we all find friends along the way!

Truthfully, I don't think it's that hard.

I have been spereated 8 years and in that 8 years I have had 2 realtionships, which meant I have only been alone for about a year and a half of my adult life.

I came on the site to make some friends around the world as my intention was to travel...........free acomodation
jokin......but hav found a little community of people to interact with.

I would not laugh as I do in another environment and that is really why I come on the forums.

If a relationship comes along well and good.

I can't answer you, Squirly. I had that happen to me. No explanation, nothing. Just *poof*, up and disappeared. It won't stop me from trying again, but I'll give a bit less of myself next time until I'm more sure of the person and the relationship.
