I want to start a chat site that is paid for and people are vetted so they have to be their real selves. Many people, including myself are who I say I am online. I met my husband online and he was exactly as he claimed to be. I've made friends online who weren't who they pretended to be and that is sad. I've met people in person who weren't who they claimed to be in person. It's all a gamble and sneaky people can get away with more online unfortunately. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences. People can really suck. (((Hugs)))
