I admit it! I'm coming clean! I'm a fake. I dye my hair and my beard grey so that I give the illusion of "experience" and "wisdom". Otherwise, I would have nothing going for me. If I stop dying the hair/beard, maybe if I got one of those "professors' jackets" with the patches, at the elbows? Oooooh! I could put on my reading glasses and light my pipe! Of course I don't really dye my hair grey. I am not really sanguine about a website that uses so many arbitrary criteria to label a person in a horrible way. Of course there are people "living out their fantasies" on the interwebs. To expect that not to happen is kind of foolish but, there are people that are looking to find that special someone(s) and when the fantasy/role players aren't honest about their intent, they do some emotional damage and that's where the issue is (I think). I have no problem with a 19 year old college boy who wants to pretend he's a girl because he has some gender identity issues or whatever. I have an issue when they do so with people that are looking for something real . Let me be very clear, here: I won't label a lady as "fake" because she doesn't wish to meet with me (I usually get the "You look pretty scary, in your photo" line). I will, however, label them a time waster when they have contacted me, first and then, won't even get on the phone or Skype (very anonymous) so that I can convince them that the photo may be scary but that I am not such a scary guy (unless you're afraid of middle-aged, pacifist, Star Trek geeks that like to sing karaoke). Peace and comfort, Michael
