I guess I'm a different from most of the posters. As a dominant man, I usually end up talking and getting acquainted with submissive woman (or just women in general), and I generally don't press them for much in the way of proof, because I'm not trying to get them into any type of "compromising position" any time soon. But my BS detector is always on, especially at the beginning of the get acquainted stage. If there are some inconsistencies, I'll ask about them. Over time, it is very, very difficult to not slip up, if you aren't in a state of "wanna believe", and especially if you aren't promising them anything. I've usually found that over time, they will send ME photos and personal information, even if I don't ask, of various sorts, or talk about subjects I'm familiar with. While I can't categorically say I've never been deceived, any that I've eventually meet have been exactly as represented. Eventually we will trade phone numbers - and not just cell phone numbers - and chat person to person. As for me, since I'm not necessarily in a hurry to "do" anything other than get acquainted, I don't usually feel like I have to prove anything to them - like me, I believe if they are the intelligent person I hope and believe them to be, that they'll be able to detect BS over time. But I have occasionally given some personal information out, or links to sites where they can see evidence of me, before I ever got to know them, such as forums, or sites that still have copies of my e-book for download, or even some of my own websites which they can trace through ICANN's and such, if it's that important to them. I've never taken my phone number off of Google, so they can get my home address, if they want (and if they don't, I want to know why they didn't do that simple precautionary thing). Still waiting for Glenn Close to show up, but she hasn't yet. If we plan on meeting over coffee or anything else, I make sure they know what a safe call is, and explain how they should set it up, if they don't. I can send photos, and have - but I don't cam. Dialup, and it's a pain in the butt (no, don't tell me it's not, I've hooked up plenty on my network, for my kids, but I'm a curmudgeon in some respects, and the damn things keep falling off the monitor, eating my memory, and generally being a nuisance). If I don't come across to you as geniune and truthful, then either you have insecurity issue, or I'm not clicking with you otherwise. FHky
