why do men do thisPage 2 of 3    (1, 2, 3)
It's nothing short of schoolyard juvenility when people start down this road of "Why do MEN/WOMEN do this.....". Some people like playing the field and so they will tell you whatever lie suits their efforts with that goal in mind and this refers to men AND women.

It's nothing short of childish stupidity to talk about this kind of cheating or deceit as being a uniquely male or female thing, men and women will lie about themselves and anyone or anything else if it suits their purposes. I'm sure we've all come across profiles littered with photoshopped pictures, completely fake or stolen pictures, or dealt with people that have done nothing but spun yarns out of some pathological need to lie.

OP it sucks that this guy lied to you and the girl he's seeing. There is not sure fire way to know 100 % that someone is telling you the truth. Unfortunately all relationships require at least a small amount of faith and even more unfortunately that faith is going to be thrown back in your face more times than not.

Best of luck.

All you have to go on is what your friend has heard, did you ask him. Were you certain of the situation.

Played it badly!

I don't put my face on my profile because I'm a private person. I mail a pic with messages. I don't have something to hide! Care to retract your statement?

Will never retract anything !

This the most common thing that women do wonder and i have chatted to quiet a few women, after all it's a dating site not a adult sex site is it ?

People not only like to read others profiles but they do like to see a photo to see if there's a attraction so correct me on that if i'm wrong!

And if such a private person then why on earth would you be on a dating site , look bottom line is this .... women will wonder why that anyone won't put up a face photo as it is known very well on this dating site that there is on both sides people who are cheating so don't get on your high horse here as i'm not saying you are but it's a fact on here, so you should understand why so many think that way.

I think we should have a name and,shame page so women can check the list. I suppose it would be open to abuse by those who had a grudge but,at least the main culprits would be exposed.
Although,I'm in Kent and,it's quite a built up area now ,it's still a small world.Several friends of mine have profiles here and,they too have dated the same guy.One guy did get his come uppance when both girls met him when he was expecting just the one.
That said,I have met some genuine people here and,remain long term platonic friends socially not,just cyber so,good guys are around.

Im sorry he wasn't worth the worth right he was given. (Single) guy from the USA and I meet girls who want a piggy bank for the shopping spree or a daddy for the child(not against a girl with kids just line of weird. Don't get me wrong being a father figure is one thing be the kids dad is totally different unless the two parties in a relationships have agreed that is where they would like to move to. Im sure you're a beautiful gal. Keep your head up the right guy maybe just around the corner. :-)

Sometimes in life we met people who are morally lacking.
This typ of person is bad no matter where you are. I am from the USA and we have them also.
Hold on to your word and your values. It all works out in the wash;)

At the risk of been shouted by the men on here I'm going to have to go against the grain a little. Yes both men and women cheat but its certainly more on the male side than the female side. I'd guess at least 70/30 if not more. As for the question "why do men do this" well we don't all do it. I can honestly say I have never cheated on a girl but I do think a lot of men see it as a badge of honour. Something to brag to their mates about or perhaps it makes them feel like some kind of sex good. I guess growing up watching people like james bond who could have all these women may have affected them too. Its a shame really but it does seem to be "normal" these days I guess with the internet and sites like this or social networks it has become much easier and less risky to cheat.

Its not a gender thing, there are many many reasons why people might do this.

But non of them would be an excuse not your fault.

Just don't give up on all men there are some nice people around.

well i met a guy online here about three weeks ago. he drove to meet me for lunch then spent a week and a half ringing and texting me saying he couldnt wait to see me again, then broke off a meeting and i never hear from him again. I did send him a message, but still got nothing back.

I cant understand why anyone would spend time texting and ringing if they werent going to meet. I was so confused..
his loss .

Come on :-) the post was only entitled as it was because it was a MAN that caused her pain, that is all. Don't You get sexist here LOL! :-) We all know that both men and women have the same possibility to have aberrant behaviours.

its a game everyone plays males / females. its a kin to a lucky dip u may get the genuine prize, or the dud ? do anyone using these sites actually believe the person or information given is 100% true ? heavens above wake up its 2013 reality bites, so take a good look around, don't allow profanity cloud your judgement. ask the important questions if interested in someone >>> are u in a current relationship / are u married / women can play this game every bit if not better than men. it goes without saying the old saying Stranger Danger. u can never err on the side of caution use your wits not your bits ?

I have been known to creat a profile for them telling their "true qualities".
Although there are cheaters/twotimers on both sides of the gender pool, I feel us females need to watch out for each other.
No one deserves to be lied to or mislead.

agreed barbd wire n lace. but when one enters the jungle of social media sites....beware of the pitfalls contained expecting 100% truth is going to get u disappointment. tread wearily for the jungle contains many Beast's, and sadly not all are as friendly as they may seem ?
