So, we all receive it, whether it´s from scammers, members, or forum posters.

Is there really any difference? I mean, do people a million miles away really want, or indeed think they are ever going to meet us?

Like most women here I´ve been messaged with some interest by scammers, members, and regular forum posters. I don´t think at the end of the day there is too much difference in many cases. It´s a game, play if you will. What for? Stroking egos, boosting confidence whatever, it´s still a game imo which is why I flatly refuse to play.

There are exceptions I know, but very, very few.

Of course there's a difference, and yes, I have met others from the site, and hope to meet more in the future. It's not a game, at least not to me anyway.

I do see what you're saying though, sorry you feel that way. hug

The thing I find weird is, I get loads of messages from far away but never any from guys locally. I have on occasion messaged them but they never reply so Im now wondering is there safety in distance, are the majority of people really only looking for an online relationship and literally wet themselves if they receive a message from someone just down the road. In my experience this seems to be the case!

I have met some wonderful people from CS in the RL and I hope to meet many more. I doubt seriously that anyone I meet will be my "love interest" but it is great to make friends, either from the country I live in or from other countries.handshake

I know, it's happened to me too. Gets to be rather disheartening when you discover the person you've been chatting with is a complete fake. There are also those that are just here to pass the time, with no intentions of ever taking it any further, but tell you different.

Despite all of the crap, I'm still here, although I find it hard to take most people seriously at all. Never know though, I might meet my future ex wife on here yet. laugh

I have had messages from local guys and actually met them, but I´ve never been interested in taking it further romantically which has caused problems with stalking and constant messaging, so I really don´t want to meet anybody from here who is local. However, like you, I´ve also had more interest from afar and agree that some are simply playing with the distance factor.

I met someone from Australia, that's about as far on the other side of the globe as it gets.laugh She stayed with me for 5 weeks, and we had a wonderful time while she was here.

I haven't been able to travel for quite a while, money and other responsibilities have kept me close to home, but I'm hoping to be able to in the very near future, and I will. grin

You are right Jan but, I reckon there are folk here who do not play games and can be trusted just to be decent....I have been lucky enough to meet some of them. Like you I get the scammers and although I am not sure, I suspect they target folk who are more active on the forums....

And as for those idiots who cannot take no for an answer I have no solution except the Block and ignore.

I know the ladies get it worse than us lads but, is that not also true in the "real" world.

A sad but often fact of todays life if you smile or acknowledge someone they think they have "cracked it" and you have a snag.

Only a snag as they and only they have the problem ...As always JMO grin cheers

I agree with this in a sense...However, that being said, I also feel that love knows no bounds. If two people are able to see one another regardless of the distance, then why should they let that be an obstacle.

Aye Pat, but I reckon a vast majority have no intention of ever meeting anyone, its just a way to pass the time....our little aussie beaut was a wonderful exception to the rule, as were the other lovely people I've met from here...trouble is 90% are female.
Freckles n I reckon weve had more "dates" with each other than any of the blokes here!laugh

I've got some meets in the offing and one definite. I'm not here for anything other than friendship and fun on the forums.

Is there something wrong with that?

Is there something wrong with folk interacting and making each other feel good and all warm and fluffy inside?

Isn't it remarkably like how it is in the RW?

Friends, fun and if you're really bloody lucky, love?

Hm, I've met up with someone, who just happened to be in my town for a conference, and who knew me from the forums. He asked me, if I wanted to meet up with him, and we ended up having a good time together. It was a great experience.

So no, maybe I won't make plans to travel for a date, but if I was going somewhere on holiday or for work, I'd look up CS members in the area and see, if they'd like hang out with me for an evening too. Why not?? dunno
