ORIGINAL: MasterRobert1 Lying does seem to be the norm here. It's something I have simply accepted. Wish it weren't true, but it is. Wish I give give you better advice than, be diligent and patient and ignore the bullshit. I know: easily said but hard to do. So true! I wonder if all the "lying" that seems so prevalent, is more that people just aren't sure of themselves, so they say what they think someone wants to hear. I've had correspondence with quite a few people, and I've noticed the majority that "lie," either lack self esteem, are new and unsure of "everything," or are filled with such fear on venturing into real life relationships that they hide behind a false persona. (Many submen tend to say what they "think" I want to hear. To bad for them...I "want" to hear the truth...I can handle it, really. [:D]) I don't know that they "all" do it deliberately, but many find it easier to communicate. They do get caught, if conversation heightens, or a real meeting takes place. It's just easier from some to hide behind the computer screen, and truth be told, they will probably remain there. Another good reason not to expect too much from online contacts, and to get out and enjoy folks in real life (if there's something in your own area). I have met a few decent play partners from initial online communications, but far more via friends and group affiliations. I've chatted with many more that were full of it though. Not unlike any other real world contacts, as I see it. K
