IMO, people that misrepresent themselves are looking for casual and not long term relationships because at some point they will get found out - they always do because they fail to realise that the wheel has already been invented.


I donno Baby...I have always been a long term minded guy. But, I am carefree enough that people think otherwise. Lot's of people here think I am a slut, and I am good with that. My woman knows.

I play the "Casual" card all the time.

"Misrepresenting" is a valid tactic.

Do you really want people to know know that sometimes you pee or shart when you sneeze? I don't want anyone to know.

Honesty has it's place....but, it is only when you are in love.


I disagree. There will always be those that read what’s on the surface and there will always be those that read beyond the surface.

Getting back to the point, I date online and therefore accept that some/most people are fairly liberal with the truth. Misrepresentation may be a valid tactic and I accept that BUT what I don’t/won’t accept is out and out re-invention which is what some people do. These are the people that WILL always get found out (eventually).



This is exactly what I'm talking about.

People cannot keep up a facade forever. You are how you are. You think I am a huge spaz on here, you should meet me. You think I am obnoxious, yet again you should meet me.

I am shallow from the surface, all the way down to the bone.

I just don't understand why people get on these dating sites, and then misrepresent themselves, saying they are the most honest person you will every know, and then fill you with a bunch of lies. If they are on here trying to meet people, don't they know they will eventually be found out? Or maybe they have a different motive???


Well, you ever go out to a club, then you get the same thing. Guys always come on to women with "pick up lines" to get a woman. Most of the time it's for sex. But, the thing is, we all want to make ourselves "look" impressive. Ever met a guy and you thought he was out of your league? And so you try to make yourself look like a million bucks. It's like a resume. You build yourself up cause you want to be the one chosen. It's a crude analogy, but hopefully ya get the point.

Pick up lines are a turn off to me. Just light casual conversation is all you need. And no, I don't try to make myself seem more than I am. I am me. I don't try to over-impress. But I do get your point.

I try to be as honest as possible. I will tell little "white" lies but I prefer blunt honesty.

I choose to believe that my life is interesting enough to be honest about it.
I don't see any reason to be deceitful.
But I look for lasting friendships and a long term relationship, so it makes no sense to be dishonest.
But Hey.....
Thats just the way I roll!!!

Saying/being something when you're not.

Well, that individual has many issues and you can't fix them. Insecurity being high on that list. What's funky about all this is that its never clear when you meet them. Nobody ever tells you: "Here's the deal, I just wanna phuck around here, I am still obsessed with my ex, still have feelings for her, I stalk her occasionally BUT I wanna keep my options open here. How about you and me get a drink and go through the boring lines of "getting to know each other" before I use you as much as I want until you wake up and figure out my game? How about it?" We are all wired to impress?? Seriously? Why is that? Who says this is how it has to be for you to get to someone you like? Men? Women? Does anyone really feel all that great after doing this? Knowing they've hooked someone based on a lie? Me thinks it spirals downward and the person in charge normally can't stop the lying because they enjoy controlling someone. They simply cannot admit they don't know what they want.

I was thinking it will be easy to find some are lying about their age. Just imagine this, you're at their house. You suddenly see their birthday cards from everyone. You look at these cards, only to find it says something like 'Happy 55th Birthday'. They really WEREN'T that 37 year old they claimed to be. They can't hide their age. As everytime their birthday comes around, you'll find out from their family and friends about how old they are. Ha

What kind of white lies help with being as honest as possible?
