I wish there was a way to varify, as many other sites do..........I've gotten several, several messages this past 2 weeks from obvious fakes, their messages are almost identical, photos or most definately false.

It is frustrating enough to be living an alternative way of life and to be piled on by a bunch of fake profiles and messages makes it even harder

what say you???




LadyHibiscus -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 8:26:32 PM)

Really?




DarkSteven -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 8:40:53 PM)

I say that things happen sometime. I waste very little time with fakes.

I'll give you a hint - if someone else initiates the conversation, they're almost always fake.

This is the internet, laddie. Tineye and Google Image are your friends. Due diligence, ever heard of it?





erieangel -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 9:40:09 PM)

Really? Fakes you say?? Hard to believe there would be fakes on the internet.





Findinghappiness -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 9:41:12 PM)

I see more 'bots' than I do 'fakes'.

Pertaining to others starting conversations, I don't usually see them as being fake to me.




RealLady -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 9:54:56 PM)

Block.  Delete.  It's a beautiful thing.




Findinghappiness -> RE: FAKES (3/4/2012 9:57:03 PM)

To someone, each of us is fake.

What I always say - you men are lucky that "women" only interested in $$$ make that abundantly clear right off the bat while sneaky married cheating men take much longer to out.

I say instead of wasting these 68 or so words, you could have clicked Delete, then Block, and moved on to expend your energies and focus on the positive.

You've further shot yourself in the foot because now anyone who might consider you a viable partner is going to see that your very first post here was a whine.

I realised today after seeing yet another forum thread (elsewhere) that I have been seriously deprived.

The reason being: I did not have scores of cmails from fakes and scammers.

I have met quite a few people in r/l and they were all real.

Thinking back on it I wonder if the reason why I never found scores of fakes and wannabes is simply because I wasn't looking for them.

I sought information and found plenty of that.
I was interested in the possibility of friendships and discovered people I could have that with in varying depths.
I was interested in connection and I found that too!

When one relationship ended, I did not wring my hands, nor gnash my teeth over how fake he turned out to be.
I was gratetful for the experience.
I learned.
In the beginning, I learned to trust.
In the middle, I learned that "direction was more important than speed".
In the end, I learned I was stronger than I knew.
We are still friends.

Now I am in a different relationship that is better suited to my needs.
I want to serve Him well...as well as He leads.

The chances of it lasting forever are pretty close to nil.
I am being realistic, not pessimistic: the odds that any relationship will last forever, is also pretty close to nil.
Rumor has it that people eventually die.
Today is all we ever really have.


So...I am loving being His and loving my "happy middle".


IF it were to end tomorrow however, he will not suddenly go from being Master Wonderful to a scum sucking fake.

I know the search is frustrating to so many people.

There probably are tons of fakes, scammers, liars and wankers.
I just didn't notice them.
I was too busy getting to know good people and reading interesting posts to have much time for anything else, I think.



I posted this 2 1/2 years ago.

That was my experience.
YMMV




Kainundeva -> RE: FAKES (3/6/2012 4:25:49 AM)

you deal with fakes with a combo move. it´s called block´n´delete, you get that with level 2 after you visit the shopkeeper.
But you need to visit the wilderness before and collect some common-sense-packs and look some dumbass to hit to collect wits.
before that you won´t level. just did that myself. works.

Umm, I say that if you are living an alternative way of life, you must be a fake.




CRYPTICLXVI -> RE: FAKES (3/6/2012 12:24:52 PM)

Five threads down is a thread titled "Fake"...so we have moved on to more than one.

I thought there was only one "fake" I had to watch out for, this is worse than the damned zombies...
