"If my posts are any indication of the same?" Hmm.... Which means you assume I don't have the intelligence?
First of all my dear, you don't know me. Secondly, although I am correct most of the time, what do you care about the times I am wrong? What's it to you?
I honestly don't get this "I'm going to prove something to you ladies, and here's where you are going to go look and see my proof."
HOwever, after reading further and finding you say this:
"For me, I enjoy teaching and pleasing and helping others who are less gifted than I in intellectual prowess. Lest you think that statement overly pompous, consider that most people are, well, most people are average in intelligence. Ask 100 people if they're smarter than the average person, and I'll wager a large percentage will think they are. Why? They rely on their intuition. And, in their minds, they're always right. That's the problem I'm seeing here."
NO ONE has said that in relying on their own intuition they are always right...NO ONE.
And as for needing to come online and prove that we are a bunch of individuals with lower intelligence than YOU?
Only PROVES how insecure in yourself you must be to have to go to the lengths that you have.

Keeping in mind that this is a discussion forum, I will state the obvious that you will be wrong a good percentage of the time if you only go on your own logic, experience, and intuition (if your posts are any indication of same).
Some of these incontrovertibly proven fake profile pictures (specifically of people passing themselves off using stolen photos) are pretty clever; but, if you've never even looked at what I'm talking about, you'll never know, will you?

What you fail to take into consideration is, we do not need to go there to see who the latest fake is, because the majority of folks have enough common sense to figure these things out on their own.
That is the problem I'm failing to make you aware of. Sigh. And, which is the problem with the OP (in a different sense of the issue).
Since this is a discussion forum, I'll again state the obvious.
1. People who base their evidence on their personal intuition are dead wrong a healthy percentage of the time.
Why?
Because they never bother to check up to see if they're actually right. They ASSUME they are right.
Another statement that should be obvious to all is:
2. People who post fake profiles are (sometimes) rather clever.
Personally, my intuition is pretty good that I can spot an obviously fake profile a mile away - yet - I have also spotted a cleverly fake profile upon close inspection.
Why does it matter?
Well, that is the harder question to expound upon. For me, I enjoy teaching and pleasing and helping others who are less gifted than I in intellectual prowess. Lest you think that statement overly pompous, consider that most people are, well, most people are average in intelligence. Ask 100 people if they're smarter than the average person, and I'll wager a large percentage will think they are. Why? They rely on their intuition. And, in their minds, they're always right. That's the problem I'm seeing here.

Just curious...but where does Subano get the idea that the posters to this thread are anal enough to care about all his rantings?
I thought the forum was for intelligent discussion.

Really????? Seriously? I've been on the internet for over 10 years and I have never ONCE fallen for a "fake".
Heh heh.
I'm fake.
And you're having a discussion with me.

All I had to do was read their profile and look at their pic or yanno...here's an odd way of finding out.....talking to them.
I do agree that talking to them on the phone or via chat will prove them out rather quickly (although I'll wager that there are a huge number of women who only belatedly discover their newly found dream lover is actually, ahem, married.
