I don't think there's any difference in the people online as there are out there imn teh non-cyber world. I have met and/or dated as many liars that I have met in the real world as I have online. I think that no matter what the means are to dating, in this day and age, dating really is a crap shoot.

It depends on their motives, if they r into cybering then they can do whatever leads you to play with them and yeah sometimes lying is more difficult online than in real life i suppose...but who knows ppl are always lying anyways doesnt matter real or cyber world...

I agree with your friend. After you get familiar with these sites, I just take all the fabrications as comic relief, and NEVER believe anything anyone types really. They can show me face to face how real they are, or aren't. Sure there are liars in the real world too, but a lot easier to get busted in real life than the cyber world. I honestly believe that a large percentage of the profiles on here are posted by people who are projecting an imaginary personna, like they are still playing make believe with their Barbies and GI Joes. Bummer for the real people, for some how we seem to weed out those types and sometimes find REAL PEOPLE.

You guys are right. I understand that there are liars everywhere. But what can we do? Just try to sift through the bull crap and try to find someone worth while.

it is interesting how people lie so much.my brother is a pathological liar so it is very easy for me to call someones BS.yeah this day and age now dating is almost not worth the time.just think how bad its gonna get in the future

I agree! It seems like people lie to make themselves look better but the lie will show it's self sometime! I have dealt with liars and it is annoying! But again there are good people out there who are honest. Here's to the future!

I don't like liars they make me sick. I am one of these kinds of people if you can't be honest about who you are then you aren't really all that great of a person if you have to lie to get noticed. Rule #1 in real life or the cyber world just be yourself and who cares what others think. You're you so lying about who you are is just lame and stupid. Peace to all those who are true to themselves.

Well, it also depends on how vulnerable you are. If you are playing the "woes me" role, IRL or Online... you're going to get played and lied to. If you put it straight and dont expect pity "Oh all my exes treated me like crap" What emotions do they have to play on? Also, I learned a good way of weeding out the liars and players is to take time. If someone is willing to take it one step at a time, not rush things... they're more likely to be in it for the long haul and tell you the truth!

That is very smart! Thaks for the advice!

Basically, same rules apply when meeting people in person. Take everything people says with a grain of salt.

What I'm seeing in this thread , goes on all the time in life, like the earth revolving on it's axis for eternity. People just keep on clinging to garbage and not living when it comes to real love. Ones selfish and the other also. It's never ending. I wish I was young again because in my younger years, we all lived and loved and kicked the crap to the curb on the most part. Those were the days when love was so much easier today. This worlds a mess when it comes to love. People have lost sight of it because all they do is think of all the little things in life that is going to please them and forget the BIG PICTURE.

"IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU"

"IT'S ALL ABOUT US"

I have found, that there are as many REAL people online, as there are fakes.... I have found taking your time will be the key to finding genuine friends and mates.... At least, online you have a safety buffer, which allows you to decide....

It is the truth, so many game players on line. I met a lady in a public place and we dated a few times and she turned out to be " not who she said whe was.

Time and consistency are your greatest allies against deceit. Personally, I tend to believe a person until I have reason not to. Even the best liars aren't very consistent and the longer you know a liar, the number of inconsistencies will increase.

I'm the same way. I believe people until they give me reason not to.

A person can only lie so much until they're figured out.

You said a mouth full. There are alot of people out there just looking for one thing and one thing only. and they fabricate all sorts of things or lies. Grow up people games are for kids.

It's true that people consciously lie. Some people even get a kick out of lying or playing a role just to see how far they can get. It's a game. But the ones I feel the most sorry for are the people who lie to themselves. In my experience, human beings are very good at deceiving themselves, one way or the other, and our lack of honesty makes developing trust and good communication difficult. On the brighter side -- I think there are sincere, well-meaning people everywhere who want to love and be loved.
