with age, many endearing traits/characteristic of a person will come or go.

thus the use of words like... healthy, vibrant, young, adventurous, passionate, romantic, relaxed, stable,even secure being placed in front of ones age of the person, should be strongly encouraged.

I've met some people ten years my senior that can claim any number of these and then again I've met some that where only honestly capable of one of these.

misrepresenting who or what you are can sometimes cause you yourself more pain and heartache then you can imagine...regardless of how much you try to place blame on the one you lied to from the beginning.

at these ages mentioned, some are not dating to find someone for the long term, albeit the profile clearly states something else.

We were discussing this in the EU forums.

Interesting it was.

hollandgirl: Seeing some of the pictures, they say; "I am 58 years old" Really, how come you look 70 plus? Sorry!

Next guy; He is 5/8 we meet and he is 5/2 wow he shrunk must have used water that was too hot.
Hey guy you think I would not notice?
So I asked how come......? Well I thought once we met you would not care. Maybe so, but now I am asking; What other lies have you told me?

Age is just a number I am 70 years old.
Looking for women between 50-60 so the "only a number" was only meant for him. lol

Next; He is ready for a woman. Okay, that sounds good to me.
We meet and before he gets out of the car he has to check as he is a diabetic.
We walk 200 yards and he tells me that he can't go on. He needs to rest.

Next; Any real honest men left out there, (or I die trying!)
wel the only thing i lied about is my height i honestly don't know if am 5'9 or 6'1 can't remember

Honest me or honest women? Either can be 'not honest'. Particularly if someone says 'To be honest', or 'honestly', or 'I have to be honest'...hmmmm I then very much wonder.

Now I just hope I haven't used the word 'honest' anywhere in my profile!!!rolling on the floor laughing

It is what this is meant to be about. Unfortunately, between people trying to be funny, myself included, being flippant at that moment 'cos that's how you might feel, or the person is into chronic FLIRTING, it can become a bit of a chore to sort out what is actually real and what is not. I am not really one for online dating sites. I never last very long on them. But it can be interesting for the time.

I have made good friends whom I originally met online, but not on dating sites. I think online 'friendships' can become just as muddied as through any other manner of relating. I think dating sites can be prime candidates for this.dunno

well, I can afford to be honest on this site...because I won't ever meet anyone on this site . I have made it very clear, that I am not looking for a oartner. My profile couldn't be more clear and honest.


Bottom line, I really am here for the forums and nothing else

Good for you, ship. Glad to know there is someone straight and upfront. At least people know exactly where they stand with you. No doubt in one's mind whatsoever. And that is a good thing, at least that is what I think. I stumbled upon this site when I was looking for stuff for my pending Italy trip. I was led to the 'it' version of this CS site. I was very surprised to find there was more than 'CS.it' .

Anyway, I agree, these forums can be interesting and fun, and a place to safely meet and discuss.conversing

friendsfirst: All my information is recent.JUST ASK!


excellent point.....if you are skeptical, ask. If certain things seem too good to be true, verify. If certain things are too important for you to establish before the meeting, do so....thumbs up

If it means anything, I've met three woamn from this site, and they were exactly who they said they were, and so am I. No BS or lies, just real people, and lovely people at that. grin

Not everyone lies on their profile, and not everyone is a scammer. If you're constantly looking for it, that's what you'll find. Being suspicious of everyone isn't a good policy and is no way to meet anyone.
