Fake is in the eye of the beholder. I often think that people who start threads about others being fake probably have issues about being fake themselves. You know, a little bit of self-loathing.

On the internet, in the cyber world, everyone can be whatever he or she likes. It is easy to be a fake, a lot easier than in any real life situation, where all kinds of clues can give away what/who you really are.

So, the cyberworld attracts those who need a fake identity. It is my impression after quite a few years on this and other sites that there are a lot of fakers around. After many sincere and polite attempts to make contact, it would seem that internet invites a lot of people that are not ready to make the least investment in social contacts or display a modicum of politeness and good manners. Anonimity doesn't always bring out the best in people.

Each and everytime one complains about this, the standard reaction, by the dozen, is "what do you expect, this is internet, welcome to the cyberworld" and one is chastized for being so naive (or worse). Fakeness seems to be an accepted standard on the net. I do not like this one bit, but I accept it, as it seems to be the price of literally having the whole world at your disposal. I do prefer this over the modest impact of an add in the local newspaper.

Besides the real fakers, that see this site as a mere source of amusement to the detriment of the more serious seekers here, there are the 'would-be's' that just spoil some of the fun, especially here on the boards. One form of borderline fakeness in my opinion is people consistently giving "funny" answers to questions that are intended seriously and kill a thread by hijacking it. Or people making posts just for the sake of it (you know, some of the 10,000+ posters in just 3 years) or to prove how 'twuely' genuine and seasoned lifestylers they are.
Some funny comments really are hilarious and appreciated though (thanks Ron & others!).

To balance this all: I have met quite a few wonderful people here, often people solidly grounded in a lifestyle relationship or community, lacking the need to prove anything. It just takes a lot of tenacity and resilience to sort out these people from between the chaff. And I have learnt a great deal from frequenting the message boards, from people willing to share their knowledge, experience and wisdom.

Before the end of the year, during a lifestyle weekend in a wonderful place, I hope to get to know better a lady that I met through the internet . . . Well, even on this site, now I've come to think of it! So, maybe all's well that ends well; even this truly disastrous year for me :-)

Bless you all and a very happy and fulfilling 2008!

P.S.: I think accusing people of having issues about a subject themselves if they are just asking a question is a bit cheap, Katy.

so pray tell, how do you determine how a profile is fake? is there a list of standards you go through to make that assumption? should we tailor our profiles to the exact letter like yours so it doesn't look fake?

inquiring minds would like to know

I'm not fake, but dammit, I feel left out now. Can I be a super unicorn princess sub with magical powers, and a blue mane with silver polka dots?

This is just a general comment. I'm in an on-line motorcycle group and that is how I got my start on the internet. Seems this same topic comes up there all the time too, real bikers vs fake bikers. I tend to think this might come up in most on line groups. I did also belong to a small group that the only way you could join is if you had actually met and ridden with a member in real life. That is pretty extreme but it did guarantee that there were no fakes.Just my 2 cents while waiting for the kids to come over and tear into their presents.Have Merry Christmas.

Original question from Sirandlil1: "How many CM profiles do you think are phony?"

quote:

ORIGINAL: LadyKarin

more than 200 applications - 9 slaves to call me on the phone - 1 (proved) flight booking till now.

not too bad. 0,5% real?

Now We know: The answer is ninety-nine and one-half percent fakes! Therefore, I need look into only one hundred eighty more people to find My real one.

Oh, goody! I must say, though, I had hoped for somewhat better success than that!

As far as profiles are concerned, Mine is relatively long, but still does not get "Me" across to the reader! Profiles which say "Slave needs master" say nothing.

At Sambamanslilgirl:

Though one cannot be sure all the time, there are tell-tale signs that a profile is a fake or at least the person behind a profile is a faker.

Like if a person refuses to show her/himself after a long period of internet/mail/phone contact and your ample proof of integrity. Talking years here, not weeks or months.
Like not showing up at appointments.
Like profiles that read like they have been entered by someone blindfolded on a brokendown keyboard.
Like profiles with pictures of natural blonde, obviously caucasian, supermodels, belonging to someone of 'mixed ethnicity' in Batangas, UK, whereas Batangas, to my knowledge, is in the Philippines.
Like the "truly, devotionally submissive" persons that answer with oneliners to your mails, ignoring questions, just interested in what you feed them. Same persons showing that they obviously haven't read to the end of your profile, or even two lines into it. And showing lack of commitment through lack of care in composing a mail (allowing for disabilities of course).
Like the gorgeous ladies with profiles that are every man's secret dream, but are ('looking', that is) on the site for years without apparently being wooed succesfully once.
Like, like, .... like dozens of signs that you learn to recognise after having been on sites like this for some time.

Do fake profiles exist? Do we have to prove the obvious?

so if i don't show up for an appointment - i'm a fake?

if i refuse to offer proof that i'm a woman via cam/photo after chatting online/email/phone - then i'm a fake?

holy cow ...then i'm a fake because i don't own a cam nor do i readily hand out photos of myself until i'm comfortable with you as a person, then as a man and lastly as a dom. if i cancel an appointment at last minute, perhaps an emergency happens (and with a UM who has brain injury - it does).

the same could apply to you ...dontcha ya know

I have been here only four months, but I have run into many of the problems Herakon listed:
Those who do not show themselves. I do show Myself--on sites which accept My photos, that is!
Not showing up for appointments.
Profiles in which grammar is a passed-away fad.
Ignoring questions. This one is particularly irksome!
Last but not least: The "desperately need a Master", but has been here four-plus years person.

Its all part of the game… if you write it, you are it, or want it. No one can describe themselves in a few paragraphs. Finding common interests is the purpose of a profile. I hope you are not so gullible to be looking for truth.

This is fun…amusement…maybe some excitement not a place to find a life mate. If that happens great but it is sad if you are exclusively looking for the perfect partner here.

At Dave: thank you, thank you, thank you.
And how about another one: persons reading only half of what you wrote and comment on what you did not say . . .

At Sambamanslilgirl: please read my post carefully and my answer will be superfluous!

As your post , Bounty, seemed to be directed towards me, I reread my posts carefully and did not find where I accused someone in peculiar of being a fake. I just alluded to the existence of fakers and spoilsports in general, which seems more obvious to me than to some other people here. Your 'ad hominem' seems unprovoked, but if I wrote anything incorrect or insincere in my posts, I'll gladly apologise. If you would like to help me reevaluating myself, I would appreciate that. I will keep a keen eye on my mailbox, but have to go now: Christmas' social duties . . .
