Living With A Psychopath - When The Mask Slips.: How To Spot The Online Cyberpath/Player.
Just google how to spot an Internet player and all sorts of sites will come up! To sum it up, some men will fake injuries, job titles, illnesses, and even some women will pretend to be men using voice altering machines! There are some sick, sick people out there who intentionally seek out vulnerable and lonely people online, and not just on dating sites.
They do it for attention and to stroke their ego. Chances are that they are losers in real life who can't get most women to pay attention to them. Perhaps they live at home and are looking to sponge off you in some way. Never ever offer to borrow money to anyone on here! Also, be very, very careful about sexting and sharing risque pics of yourself as well as your personal info like your address.
If the guy you're talking to refuses to meet in person, delete and block him asap! When some people are lonely and vulnerable with low self esteem, it's hard to resist getting what you think is exclusive attention from someone who is considered to be a "catch". Especially if you've been told that you're not worthy, loveable, not attractive, or have been in bad relationships before. Thank goodness that I'm married! Online dating seems like a nightmare, literally!
There is this movie based on a real life story called TalHotBlond that is quite good. The twist at the end was great. I did not see that coming! It's sad, but it's very enlightening. On a positive note, not everyone on dating sites are out to use and abuse you for attention, sex, or money.
There is a BETTER way to meet people for dates, and that place is meetup.com! It's free to join and you get to see what the person really looks and sounds like in person! Of course they could still lie about other things, but at least you know who you'll be dealing with in person, and in the safety of a group too! If you ladies decide to meet someone in person, always make it at a public place!
Oh, and if that place happens to be at a bar late at night, the guy is a pig who is only after sex. I used to listen to this sexist guy called Tom Lykas quite a bit and he always advised guys to take women to bars, get them drunk, and dump them after the third date if they don't put out. It's called a Tom Lykas date. He also advised men to spend no more than a total of $40 on a woman before they get dumped.
Wow, there are some really pathetic and scary dogs out there! Ugh! On a final note, always review all emails and look for any inconsistencies. You can also find out if they're lying or not very easily by enlisting the help of a trusted and objective female friend or relative. I hope this helped ladies!
