Well i've had a look at the world of internet dating and have come across a guy that has a lovely fake profile.
We chatted for a while and i discovered it wasn't really him , after getting me on the webcam i wondered why he wasn't going on so switched off .
He has his contact list showing and has lots of contacts i'm presuming women , this makes me wonder are there women who would continually do the webcam chat thingy with someone who wouldn't go on screen?
It wasn't just chatting he wanted on there either , it's obviously free porn for him but would women do this if they couldn't see the other person im baffled??

Well, I wouldn't - because if I've got an OD profile up it's because I'm having yet another go (triumph of hope over experience) at trying to find a nice guy to get involved with. Why did you agree to webchat if you knew profile was fake? He's not gonna turn out to be a nice genuine guy who just happened to set up a fake profile, believe me...,

Id say there is...some women get their kicks from that kind of thing, the same as men. You spotted the fake so well done you...onward and upwards! There are good guys out there...I was dating online for around 2 years then met DP...the dating ranged from divine to disasterous lol ...

It was after the cam incident i realised he was fake , i wondered why he didn't go on it and so i put his pictures into tin eye and it was someone famous in sports lol!!
I've met someone very nice so am not on there now but the whole thing just baffled me i spose and made me wonder what the hell ... and why folk would do that .

there is a guy i talk to occasionally on POF he has a webcam but i dont, so he puts his cam on and talks to me via IM (no he is dressed and just talks) but i cant talk back via cam as i dont own one, i did have one guy who asked for cam said yes and a willy appeared so told him where to get the fuck off to and had a good laugh afterwards about that one

flamingnorah · 30/12/2012 20:56

haha it's a very strange place isn't it ?

it sure is the amount of guys who have messaged me saying lets meet and then when i say yes they sort of vanish, dont know what that one is about maybe they get some ego boost from the amount of women who maybe want to meet them, or they are only brave with a keyboard i dont know,

     i had one this week said wanted to meet me, so i said ok will sort out a date in the week for a coffee and all i have had back from him is 3 or 4 word not even sentences saying yes, we meet, we meet we kiss so if he cant even string together a whole sentence guess what hes well and truly blocked lol,

im mid fifties so not a youngster and the amount of mid sixties who want to meet me is unbelievable, no i dont want to date a pensioner just someone near my age, but even mid fifties men havent grown up yet, good luck ont internet nd treat it lightly

issey6cats · 30/12/2012 21:52

sorry just noticed you have a new man good luck and hope it works out

flamingnorah · 30/12/2012 21:59

Thanks we have had a few dates and seem to like one another , he seems quite lax with arrangements at the moment so may be back on line sooner than i think !! haha
It is strange the amount of men that do just disappear in places like that and the amount that can't string a sentance together .
