Everyone likes to claim they know who they are and what they are...but the truth is that it's a constantly changing state of evolution. Who you are with, what you are doing, the age and stage of your life... If you "know" I suspect you are stagnant. Keep moving. Keep breathing. Keep growing. Keep figuring it out. No silly ..ii know who I am. The other)idiots. ....got an uphill battle. |

I would rather fight an uphill battle. It gives you leverage.....

I claim to be an a$$hole, which most people believe to be untrue... Until I do or say something that makes them realize I really am but it's not personal.

Seriously, think about it...anyone can be what they want to be. Sure we all can sit here and say I am who I am...but do we really know if each person is telling the truth? Anyone can sit here and type whatever they want to type and who is going to sit there and call them a liar? Sure we might get a gut feeling that we can't trust someone BUT are we really going to say something?
All I know is before I date someone...I usually do a background check on them. I do have a friend that can do some checking for me IF that is what I need BUT I have not dated for a LONG time so I don't worry to much about it. |

In your profile, you say, "I am looking for a man that can look deep into my eyes and know exactly what I am thinking." Well, no man has the ability to read a woman's mind. That is why there is such a thing as divorce. |

Such a funny topic.
I am always me even when I'm not playing the part. The beauty I, like a lot of people, find in the internet is I don't have to be me. I have all sorts of names out there. They are characters, but they all represent a side of my personality. The best characters are the ones I don't get to play in real life. I remember a saying from sociology "I am, what I think, you think I am". In real life there are expectations of how you should act and preconcieved ideas of who you are. Online, no one knows who I am. So, I can be whoever I want. People get attached to characters all the time, tv, movies, books, ect. My characters are real to the same extent. I'm sure people will think I'm weird or wrong, but I don't really care. It's just entertainment to me, and since I'll never meet any of them, it's simply entertainment for them too. So, am I me? or a character of me? You'll never know. |

That is why there is such a thing as divorce. Well actually I have not dated for a LONG time because I choose not to, I am trying to get healthy again...cancer drags you down. I do realize that men can not look into your eyes and know what you are thinking...I just thought it was a cute little saying. Hell, you can sit there and tell a man what you a thinking and they still don't get it half the time! Plus I got a divorce because I didn't want to share with 8 different woman...so there ya go!!! |

I know of a few who like to act as if they are the best at everything and the smartest of all because they are online and not sitting before me. Any of us can lie all we want on the internet and it might make us feel good. As for me, if I were to lie and lie I would have to remember what I said. The truth is much easier.
I have met several people from another site and they all seem to be who they were online. I made one good friend with whom I went bicycling or walking several times a week, and several others with whom I keep in contact. I am a truthful person and I am here to communicate with truthful people. I would not, however, meet anyone in private for the first time. You never know. |

Can I just ask one thing? If someone can't trust people on a dating site, then why be on one? It doesn't make sense. It's ironic, if anything. You can't trust anyone online. I think that's like the first rule of being online. I've been bouncing around the internet for like 10yrs now. I've only found 1 person that I acctually trusted to be who they said they were, and it never mattered because I never met her. The only 2 people I've met from online, I made sure someone knew where I was going, and took personal protection. To trust them would have been naivety bordering on stupidity. You can only be betrayed by those you trust. If you don't trust them, they can't betray you. |

You can only be betrayed by those you trust. If you don't trust them, they can't betray you. So, you don't trust people in person either, do you? From the sounds of it, you don't really trust anyone. While it's a good idea to be careful, there has to be a point sometime where you trust someone. I've met several people in person that I first got to know online. Most were exactly who they said they were. |

Those whom I met were the same people onoine as they were off. But you never know.

I'm as much myself as I can be, on-line and off. Things change daily, but lying about who you are is never an option. What's the point?
