I usually don't bother "verifying" myself, since I've never been in an online relationship, and don't particularly care if random people in the chat room believe me or not.
But I do have an awesome friend on cc (Shout-out time! She knows who she is! <3 <3 <3 <3) who had gotten creeped on in the past by an older guy pretending to be a teen girl. I realized that I had never "proven" myself, so I got on cam and we had a fashion show!

o have decided not to do any dating online ... Just friendships .. As of late a Christian minister approached
Me.... I thought " okay". let's see what he has to say ... very gentlemanly, no inappropriate conversation ... Friends ..... Shared hobbies written stories ...after about a month of back and forth writing ... he said something ... "hidden well and deep behind the walls of religion ". I quickly brought it to
Light and forefront and asked what he was doing ? of course There was " what are you talking about and threw " you are of your father the devil " for confronting him of such a thing... the comment he made was in reference to how
" pure i am" Me? Please!! ... , little Enuendos will reveal themselves later .... I inderstMd we all slip, but we should also help another enough to call one another out on it If that happens .. I'm just not willing to compromise ... ...... I was like "WHAT??". that's all sorts of
Jacked up.... So be careful in situations like that too... I quickly broke contact ..... I agree with julliana .. Discernment is the key... This guy panned out with his church an reverend status .... I know we are human and no one is
Perfect ..... Just be willing to stand up and say .. No! Then walk away if they rebuke you instead
Of
Listening to you ... Anyway. ... that's why I keep it on friendship basis only ... ... Don't want anything serious with something I can't look in the face and say "yep" you're human !! I think spending time with someone in developing a relatshionio is the best answer....

I don't go on the chat much anymore for the same reason... a certain guy who follows me and tried to push me to be his friend outside of CC even after I told him no many times. He flat out told me he was lonely and wanted to be more than friends after the first time he messaged me. NO THANK YOU SIR !

I used to play an online game based on Star wars Galaxies (yes I am a gamer but not at the expense of a relationship just say.. I actually quit playing to spend time with my now ex)
I heard stories of these people having as their partners members of the opposite sex that were actually the same sex but their characters were females and they gave off the illusion (through chat and voice chat) of being a female..for a whole YEAR but they were male..without the partner even knowing it.. (male partner) that isn't a place you usually consider a romantic meeting place but you develop close "friendships" with people and this was not the only deceptive relationships on that game... it was just weird..
and today I read a new story about a sting operation using a 10 year old "fake girl" made by computer graphics that drew in over 20,000 hits and chats to this girl from adult men.
There's some sick stuff going on online I have to say.. and you just don't know..who they really are..unless you follow some guidelines.. Not sure Still's guidelines are enough tbh

All the more reason to find someone close.
Online 'dating'?, really?
Like God can't provide a suitable mate in your general vicinity?
If a person happens to meet another online, the whole point is to meet face to face as soon as possible right?
- So you know who you are dealing with, for compatibility and such.

I can't imagine the weight the deceivers are carrying on their shoulders.
Assuming they have a wee lil bit of a conscience.
From most of the cases I hear of, they're not doing it to be mean, it's due to some hurt. Thus they resort to online deception to establish some sort of connection they perceive can't be created in person. I've never read about any of them coming clean just to lift the weight. It's really understandable why they do what they do. In a sense there really isn't any shame in coming clean, because when others know the why behind the why, often people understand.

I saw this documentary were a guy thought he was talking to a girl his age. (twentyish)
Every time he tried to set up a meeting she would defer. (they lived at least 1000 miles apart.)
So he traced her computer and traveled to meet her. It turned out to be a married middle aged woman who was posting pictures of a model.
The woman was so ashamed, she was making excuses. It was sad.
Be true to yourself so you can be true to others.

Not sure which prospect is more terrifying... the woman deceiving the man, or the man tracing and tracking down the woman.
I actually read somewhere that if a man "doesn't have facebook", he's likely to be a scammer. I think this is pretty harsh, since lots of people don't do facebook, but it's true that facebook instantly "outs" you, if you have IRL friends and family on it. It's like instant verification of who you say that you are. The one person I really connected with from a dating site told me he couldn't have a facebook account because of his job. (I know some corporations don't allow it.) But it did turn out that he was untruthful about several things, and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd turned out to be married or something.
