Maya74: I wonder...
How many real people are here?
Some are obviously CS staff - people with 10+ years old photos and profiles without profile photos, who are just here to keep the discussions and blogs going and when someone suspects something, there's always another one who claims that they know them in person (although they often live in different countries) or that they talk often of the phone. Still, they hide everything about themselves, just tell the stories, but that's all. And they spend way too much time here - probably because this is their workplace, actually.
Some are real people, but they obviously have 3-4 profiles, male and female, talk to themselves, flatter themselves, flirt with themselves here and there, and make fools of other people who get caught in their fun net. Who knows who they really are and - they are definitely here just for entertainment.
Some people are real and keep one profile, but they live in some imaginary worlds, imagine stories about themselves, in order to fulfill too much free time and just - be around other people.
Some people are single, but many are married or in a relationship, still pretending that they are single and deluding others.
And then - there are real ones - genuine people with just one profile, a real profile photo and real stories and - really single.
But how many of them are there? 10%?
(This is not about scammers - they usually don't speak English so well to be able to join discussions and write blogs). I have my doubts about it. At first it was fun chatting with people here, but then - I started to wonder... Is it worth coming back? Is it safe talking about anything private - telling personal stories, putting personal photos?

There is a huge amount of real people on here.
Posters are only a very small percentage of members on CS. There is a lot of Irish people on the site and I have met a good few (both on dates and at a CS meeting) years ago.
I don't know if the people that are on here all the time are necessary CS staff (didn't actually cross my mind). I have chatted with enough people to know that a good few are sick (as in physically unable to work and a lot of free time on their hands and they are lonely) and this is their social outlet. Then there are the socially inept that don't have a social life and get very upset if they don't get their way - these are often the ones setting up several profiles to get back at the ones that dared to reject them.
It was fun chatting with people when I started off on here, but after a while the reality started to hit that a lot of people on here are the socially inept ones that don't have friends, don't go out and don't have healthy reactions. It's up to you to decide who is good for you to chat/keep in contact with and who not. It can get very daunting otherwise.
Does anyone know... Is it according to the rules to make a new profile, but use the same photos you used on the old one or you have to make and use new photos?

You mean create a new profile totally, with a new username?

No, it's not against the rules. I changed my username on a couple of occasions, when I got an idefinate ban but posted the same profile pictures. (Updated since) I don't see the point of changing profile names .. people have great memories & will recognise you by you posts.
