ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I have met several people from connecting online. In only two of those circumstances were there misrepresentations about who they were. Those two lied about their height. I have only met two people that became romantic (or should I say BDSM-ish) relationships. Both of these people did not misrepresent themselves online to me... and I did not meet them right away. We got to know each other over the course of months. I am sorry that you are jaded, but I would ask you this, how many liars have you met in the real world? I have met many that lied about being married or other things like what they do for a living. Just because you meet someone flesh and blood does not make them honest. I too have met some great people from online, including meeting my Master online. Most of the others that I met have remained friends and are people I am still in contact with. In fact Master met his wife / slave online and she was from the US. They had 8 very happy years together. I understand there is a difference between real life and online, but I do find the online "protector" idea very hard to understand. Although people may be new to the lifestyle they are not new to life. As I said earlier if someone is not capable of choosing a Dom or sub online how on earth are they capable of choosing someone to "protect them"?
