stormingflame Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 In my search for a site where people can post their online meeting experiences and questions, I found this site....I am now wondering the age medium here. Seems to me that we females are used as comodities and that upsets me dearly. I wish for us females to help each other. How to find out if the man that we are supposedly getting to know for a relationship is not talking to fifty more out there? making us believe that we are the only one. It's scary now days and I feel so unlucky in a way to be living this era. Who else feels like me?[/b] Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 It is scary meeting new people, period. I know a woman who is now with someone who murdered someone. It wasn't part of their initial conversations! People on LS have met and gone out with people in 3D only to find out, months later, that the men were married. Men have deceived women many ways long before the Internet existed - this just is one more place you can find that sort. But you can also find good ones - you just have to be discerning. Meeting someone online is not the problem; conducting a lengthy relationship online without having met is. There are plenty of red flags - he lives close but makes excuses not to see you; he won't give you a phone number even after a fair bit of communication online - stuff like that. Bottom line is that you need to be cautious meeting any fellow, but not so scared that you miss out on a potentially great guy. Link to post Share on other sites
UCFKevin Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Men have deceived women many ways long before the Internet existed - this just is one more place you can find that sort. Sounds a little one-sided. Women can be just as evil as men. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Well, she was worried about men in particular since she's looking for a man. I could have launched into a treatise on human relations, but I decided - nah. Link to post Share on other sites
Author stormingflame Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Moimeme......I agree with you thanks so much for replying..... I don't mean for this to be one sided, it's just that since I am a female I am expressing my concerns and fears. Now, I don't want to get into a debate of who is who and who is worst. I also think that we have forgotten that society plays a big, no, a huge role in how our rules are established and enforced. Now, everything it's more accepted disregarding some of us who don't agree or feel comfortable. We are simply classified as old fashion or close minded.......Just to label some. When in the world before, adultery was allowed or at least not punishable?....Lets not forget that some of the things that keep happening now and which indeed happened before, weren't allowed then or unpunished, that's the difference, from the now and then....So, I do think that even though we have better our technology, we didn't not necessarily better our quality of life.
