Why is that many of our men and women in an online dating site are not truthful,sincere and openminded.why?

its hard to tell whats what in cyber reality,,,,,

Well, often times truth hurts. Often times hiding behind a lie feels safe. Not that it is the right thing to do. Some times telling the truth drives folks away. I've seen this happen with families and with friends.

c

Cause they aren't any of those things in real life?

What he said

in some shape form or fashion ....."everyone lies"

Anyone can be dishonest, closed minded and insincere. It doesn't just happen online.

Because people are not truthful, sincere and open minded.

You know!we all have one thing or the other in mind even outside online dating.why i asked this question is that i came across a man online and eventually we were talking on phone for quite a long time of six months before we met face to face.when we met what i found out from him was nt what he told me when were communicating on line and phone.i felt bad because i had fallen for him and this had me made me to just have the guys as friends.until may be the right man comes but ever since then i dont have that heart to date.am not happy at all.

noway.. I don't tell lies.

it's b'cos that is what people want to hear... it's easy online b'cos it's hard to find out.

lying is boring, the truth is way more fun.

I do not see the point of lying online,
there is to much deception in real life,
no reason to hide who you are online.

personally I don't care what anyone online
thinks of me, as I don't know them and
will likely never meet them. their opinion
simply does not matter. Online in my opinion
is the only place one can safely be themselves.

For a site such as this what it is way more
beneficial as a potential match knows what
to expect. lie and you could lose that special
someone upon meeting, then all is lost and for what?

Nah I am me, love me or hate me, I am who I am.

(Note: most people in real life are no different
then online people their opinions simply don't
matter. best to be who you are and tell the truth
and not worry what others may think.)

to me i think we should be ourselves anywhere we are.whether online or not.how i wish to find someone who is truthful,sincere and open minded.

We all ask that, I have not found
someone like this yet. I hope to
one day but till then I always
know I can trust myself.

Unfortunately, this is one of the pitfalls of online dating.

Some misrepresent themselves hoping that you will 'fall' for them regardless of the lies...not realising they WILL be rejected them not because of who they are but because of the lies they told.

Maybe I’m just cynical but it does amaze me that some people loose their common sense when it comes to online dating...take whatever is typed to you or said to you with a pinch of salt until you know differently.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t ‘fall’ for someone that you met online someone it just means that until you meet face to face and spent some time with him/her, it’s not really real.

yes!thanks.bt it scares me.so is better am alone for nw.

Take a break but don't give up Judy. The fact that you are hurt by what he did means that your heart isn't encased in stone as mine sometimes is.

Also, there's nothing wrong in taking chances...sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't...to quote one of my good friends..."such is life babe"

alrite,thanks my spirit is lifted now.

so your birth name is "joy4gud"?

if it's not, then it's an example of how "Everyone Lies"

if it is, then it's an example of how sometimes parents can be so cruel
