If you found out (or very highly suspected and had some decent proof) that somebody on the site wasn't who they portrayed themselves to be, would you tell anybody? With this, I mean their pictures are not real and they are lying about or embellishing their occupation.

My own answer is no,I will not but I had to argue with myself. Yes, you are saving any such person from humiliation but are you not also setting other unsuspecting women up for heartache? Should you just let them (and hope they do) figure it out for themselves? Does any of this even make sense?...maybe I need to lay off the Elmers fumes. doh

yes i would let someone know because it is not right to falsly portray yourself in hopes of finding a date/partner/friend. and would you feel right if you knew that you could have stopped it before it happened?

Great question Xstacy. If you have the facts you could email the ladies that this freak is corrosponding with and let them know. The culprit will be tarred and feathered soon enough I suspect.

I have been at the beach all night waiting for you...I even brought my balloon. Where have you been?




--------- I would never do it in a room and since I have no idea who else this person is talking to, I couldn't email them. If somebody asked me though, I may give my oppinions.

It makes sense and your wise in your judgement not to
disclose that info in the forums...It's been done before
and most people would rather form their own opinion....
and do....But your right it is sad to think that someone
could be taken in or hurt by it.....Just An Opinion

Yes I would personally email my friends . I would not post it here. I do think it is wrong. My ex husband had posted for years that he was a single man no kids and that he lived in another state and would meet women off line. He would try to talk to people in his state and say he was from other places. It was humiliating to me, but i can't immagine the women he talked to when they found out the truth. Some I'm sure never did.confused

when i knew a friend was falling for a fake, i took the time to let her know about it.

i don't feel the need to oust them all, however.

Go to Burger King and order 2 drinks. When the window person tries to hand them to you, tell her to keep the drinks and high-tail it out of there with your straws!!
