SirGuy68 -> RE: what do you expect when chatting with a potential sub? (8/22/2010 7:51:57 PM)

at SunShoneMiss. Thank you for Chop Stick compliment before. I also am good with a fork and knife. " (I know what that 68 means! *wink), " OK What does it mean? I'll give you a hint that will tie in farther down in this thread. I am not trying to hide my age. " >1. It smacks of cynicism. I try to avoid that." Let me propose an idea. What if EVERYONE on CM, or any other sight requested a bona fide picture or test? What if that was the norm? What if that was a filter setting? What would happen to the web bots then? Would it make this relatively new social networking medium more suited for those looking to meet others? " >2. I am a decent and honest human being. I don't like being presumed to be a liar." I can think of a very similar entity that does just that <presumed to be a liar> in the states. The court system. If you are arrested it is automatically assumed you are guilty. You've got a crusty olde judge who is envious of a stiff wind with a court room full of people all saying I'm innocent. Yeah sure you are, so why did you get arrested? You are surrounded by criminals so you must be one too. If the web is 99.999% BS, and you and I are here then there is a 99.999% probability that I am so full of shit I need a septic tank on a first date. That is not cynical that is probability. CM is not ALT a decade ago - Actually I wonder if CM ever was that?- But people I know only by email have said CM is bona fide and they have met, or know others who have met others from CM. Friends I know in real life, female and male view CM as I do from their experience with it. " > 3. If we're going to meet, you're (or I'm) gonna show up or not. I take a book, I go to the park / coffee shop / event / whatever no matter what. You show or don't show. I still have a good time by myself, with my books, or in the company of the other peeps around me. " That is good for you. But if I am going to travel to Korea to get a coffee, I might be a little bit upset. " > 4. Enough people know me that we gotta have somebody in common... and if we don't, see numbers 1-3. " I don't know any one in Korea. All be it my ex GF was from Korea. I am sure by the rule of six degrees of separation everyone in the world knows everyone. From CM I do not know any one. <MUSICMYSTERY of the record> I made a typo in a reply; in 10 years I have met 3 'peopl'e from CM, not 2. But they were about as fake in person as the typical profile and me dragging my ass out just to be able to say HEY CM WORKS!!! is not what I consider a LTR or doing something fun. " > 5. From a psychological point of view, good / decent people don't like to be called liars - despite the fact that you've been lied to by a bazillion others. We are offended by that. It's just how we roll. " Then as a good decent person who has no qualms about proving my stature, I can not understand why another, especially on an alternative sight would be offended. But see the crusty olde judge scenario in #2. To add some personal experience that to me IS believable as I have seen it first hand. My ex, a model, fetish performer, pro domme and a very beautiful person wrote to a 'thing' on CM to please remove her pictures and stop using her likeness. It didn't. So she wrote to all of 'Its' friends and let them know what they listed as friend on CM is not really behind the pictures It has up. It was in NYC. Now how would any one know It's profile was not bona fide unless you personally knew _ _ _ _? But a good thing, one of 'Its' friends replied that he would gladly remove 'Its' fingers with vice grips so It could not use a key board. In the LA area of CM I happened to see a profile on CM that for what ever reason stuck out in my mind. I saw the same image on POF of a girl near me recently. I happened to mention that to her and she said yes, she has seen her images stolen and used by others. Although I would not give POF much credence either, I will believe this girl's POF profile is the real one. So what is real to me? Is it cynical to use technology to prove ones honesty when using the web as a medium for social networking, dating, marriage etc? I don't think so and I come from an era where my first account on CM was via a dial up modem. Now, that could be the issue with me. Age. Going back to the start, when I said I will explain that further down. I do realize that I am getting on in years. What hair I do have is thinning, grays are popping in and when not skiing, I do ballon up to 186 lbs in the summer. But ya know something? I still stick my ugly mug up on the web with recent photos. That should be a pretty good sign that I am real. What person would use fake pictures of Quasimoto on a dating sight? At Red Stapler " > people in 2010 actually still read news on DEAD TREES!!!!! " - -lol. The current newspaper, name and photo is just a simple test - actually that was from a movie that I forget the name - course another movie 'test' the kidnapper ripped out the girls teeth with pliers and mailed them to the cops to prove he had her from her dental records. I could have used that idea then we would possibly have a CM full of denture wearing members. Be Well
