I recently met up with someone (from another site). We msn'd & chatted on the phone for a week of so before meeting. The day arrived we met at a pub for a drink and a chat and a flirt so that we could take things further.
She looked great from her picture - just the type of person I was looking for.
We met up and she disclosed to me that:-
Despite asking her on a couple of occasions 'Is that really you in the pic?' - Her opening line was 'I guess you can tell it's not really me in the picture'
She wasn't married but divorced.
She also went on to say that she wasn't 35 but 42 (and looked more like 52)
and she wasn't a size 10-12 but a size 18-20.
Also the two names she gave were both false (I accept that many people including myself use a different screen name than their actual name until personal contact is made and then you tell them!)
and didn't like giving oral - something she was supposed to love!
And lied about where she lives
Bascially lied about just about everything.
Consequently I have had no further contact with her and it was a complete waste of my time and hers.
The thing is I didn't lie about a single thing & felt betrayed - How could I trust her at all?
It does seem to be different here and I do feel safe that poeple are generally truthfull as I am.
Has anyone else had a similar experience or is it me being too naive?
No way! That's hugely disappointing - I feel sorry for you.
Lieing is just going to attract people who won't find them attractive. Surely if they were truthful then they are more likely to meet people who find them attractive!
I just hope it doen't happen much on SH.
Couldn't agree more. It's not that I have anything against people who fit that description - It's just now what I was looking for!
Well it escapes me why people do this it has no purpose. I try and be as honest as i can be.
At the end of the day lies don't work. If you lie you have to keep tha lie going and sooner or later it will bite your arse big style.
Thinking about it - doesn't a watered down version of that happen in just about every meet/date/courtship?
My sister and I have discussed this. She flirts big time and is, in my opinion, a completely different person when she is dating a bloke. Things go well until about a year into the relationship when she can't keep up the masquerade anymore. Okay so physically she doesn't change - this is all about the way she acts. My sister's relationships hardly last more than 1 - 2 years.
Me - well she always had a go at me becuase I kind of go with the "what you see is what you get" attitude. If you don't like me at the beginning - well you just aren't going to like me full stop. Okay so I haven't dated as much as she has - but I'd rather be me from the beginning.
As for the absolute blatant lie -( the old photo being a fave for example) - it seems to happen a lot. I have been fortunate and not come across it in my life - but I would have to walk away and feel (if not say) the same as POLO. You are a Liar!
RSxx :color:
Rainbows has it pretty much sorted, but unfortunately same as many things a little lie turns into a bog lie and people then end up trapped. We are honest and open and not rushing into any meets but having fun
