Ive nearly forgot what i was going to say ,
O yes confused The Internet and dating sites .

OK , now im not going to generalise ,as there are good/bad every were , but the internet gives some peeps the opportunity to use there wildest imaginations ,trickery ,and some even dupe themselves into thinking thats who they really are after inventing the 2 dimentional character they perceive themselves to be on screen .

This also is a fact in the reality world by some , so no difference there really .

Some claim in profiles that there this or that {Male/Female}but evidence and facts show by there comments in Forums there not anything like they say they are in there profiles {People watcher me {again Male/Female .}

But hey ho , is this but all a Game .

Certainly not by some but possibly by the many .

skippyguy: I've noticed this quite a bit at times on here...And let me state this is in some cases...People state on their profiles that they are either here just for the forums, or to chat, penpal etc, not looking for a relationship lets say

Then their comments often tell another story, either in a sad sense, how they have not found anyone, or their prince/princess, or stories of
what they look for or what they like, what they don't like, so which is it !?... , these things seem kinda contradictory at times to me....


So who in particular are we talking about?

Well, it's a very tricky situation. Sometimes people who state they are looking for a relationship are not being honest and use that to entice interests. Others state they do want a relationship but eventually do a U-Turn and say they're not ready for one. Others say they are just here for forums etc, but somehow get lucky in connecting with a great person, and change their mind. It's too complex ..... dunno

and realistic too, thumbs up does it really matter if a person changes their mind, unless of course you see contact someone on the profile and then you get rejected or something.

If you believe that you're going to fail pretend that you're not even trying - it's a low self-esteem thing about protecting the ego.

Carmengetme: Oh yep....plenty of times, but got annoyed with it.

So contrived.

Giving it another shot with the local site.

Not sure what is about New Zealand guys....but they also seem to be a bit backward in coming forward. It gets confusing...


i could say exactly the same thing about the woman......and they are totally confusing !

Hi Skippy, wave I joined up once upon a time on CS to meet someone. I didn't even know that the forums/blogs existed.

I'm not interested in the type of guys who are on here locally and that's what I put on my profile. "Insanity is trying the same thing again and expecting a different outcome." Meeting people on social occasions through friends worked for me in the past and I do like going out socialising.

The forums and blogs are fun and I met some interesting people from all over world and that's why I hang around. wine
