The British saying the live in Canada - 6/8/2012 10:47:15 AM

I've been noticing something strange when talking to quite a few slaves/submissives. I'm in Canada, so I'm searching for others in Canada as well. So I've been messaging a few submissive girls who have their country set as Canada, and it turns out they live in England. It hasn't been one or two girls that have done this, more like 5-8.

Does anybody know why this is? Initially my mind keeps on ringing the 'scam' alarms when I see miss information like this. I have yet to have a sub ask me for money or anything like that, so they appear to be genuine. I'm wondering if they are just not filling out the form correctly, lazy, etc. Anybody know anything more about this?

I've asked about the subs about it, and I'll get quick responses that 'they live in England' and that's about as far as the conversation goes.

Status: offline 		Yeah I've found it happens to me as well and it makes me rather annoyed. I also find it bloody irritating that on the main profile pages (rather than the forums) I can't turn off the 'state' selector even though I can choose a country other than the United States... but hey, this is the internet where things can work and not work all at the same time ;)

Yep. I've had that a few times myself.
Claiming that it's just down to users failing to proof their profiles or change their location it when it gets switched to something they didn't say isn't much of an excuse, really.

I guess that's why some people choose to show their monuments in their photos.

CM was lovingly built with no funds and still operates on a shoestring, so little weirdnesses like this remain. Hey, it's been well worth my investment of zero dollars over the years.

But take heart, when you find that Canadian... you will be well pleased and blessed to have them in your life.

That's what I was thinking. I do web development for a living, and while I love this site I'm noticing some things I wouldn't normally do with a project. My name is spelled incorrectly, it's supposed to be eliotRosewater not eliotRosewster, I'm nervous to change it because of how I think the DB may be setup. I'm not complaining, this site has been good to me.

So it's good to know that these girls are genuine and not trying to pull anything.

Thank you everyone!

Yup, we have a London as well. It's usually easy for me to spot an English girl when she has their province set to 'somethingsomething-shire' or 'something-ster'. We don't have many of those. Actually we're kinda lazy with our names 'NewFoundLand' for example. Or "what do you Indians call this land? Canada? Yeah, we'll call it the same thing"

The Queen isn't slipping English reinforcements across to Canada for the re-invasion of those French backed, treasonous insurgent's once the jubilee got them nostalgic for 1814.
CM is not part of a militant metrication conspiracy. Like they say, it's just a glitch.
