My opinion is that really you run a risk with meeting anyone, online or in real-life. You have to learn people and find out their qualities... some you meet in person turn out to be total frauds, complete false-faces.

Online there is only a limited amount of personal investment, so if I find out someone was playing false I've not lost much. Just a little bit of time that was free for fiddling around. If I had needed to be doing something serious, I would have been. No large harm done!

My own behavior is to be honest about me and my life in the things I share. It harms me none to do so and I may make a friend or three through it. As with real-time interactions, I only share what I am comfortable with being out and known and do not fret with anything I say being spread about.

I've had little trouble with people lying to me online. I've had the occasional person that turned out to be dishonest or who I suspected of being, but never anything important. It's not as though I had made any special connection with them; at the most, I've felt for a couple people that I'd like to meet them and begin getting to know them real-time. Of those few, I've met less than a handful and they were quite real and as they'd led me to believe. Most folks have been pretty straight in my person correspondences.

what do people think about being honest and telling the truth about yourself online? how easy is it to download a picture of someone else and then say it is you. how do you really know that they are the person in the picture? for all we know they could be a guy, which has been known to happen. Would love to hear other peoples view on this.

My solution to this problem is to look at a photo id on cam they can put tape over their address or whatever as long as I can see the face matches the name.
Not a fool proof thing though they can use a roommates if they have one.
I also Google their name see if they come up.If I feel like I need to know more.I can look at marriage certificates online,as they are a public record.Those records give an address which helps in a further search.

i just dont like the idea if someone lies to me about who they are. i know it happens but the idea that i might be talking to a guy instead of a girl is very off putting. But getting more pictures of them and seeing them on cam and hearing them are all good ways to find out if they are telling the truth, but if they wont provide one or more of them i wouldnt bother with them.
