| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/20/2006 11:22:00 AM | | As long as there is websites like this one there will always be fakes, most are so painfully obvious but occasionally you hear of people who have been stung by them, and no matter what people tell you its not harmless fun, I know of a friend who was stung by a fake but the fake was her best friend claiming to be someone else just to get closerto her, after 11 months of therapy she still wasn't 100% and I don't think she will ever be able to allow anyone to get close to her...this is the damage they can do, all I can suggest is, if you think someone is a fake.....its better to be safe than sorry before any more damage is done, get rid!! and move on | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/20/2006 1:25:17 PM | At the end of the day I just think if the profile seems to go to be true it probably isnt.
My intuition is usually right so if I receive correspondence I am not convinced is true I wont pursue it. | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/20/2006 2:27:08 PM | | I dont see the point in being fake. I once got asked (on another site) if the pic was actually me..........I thought to myself why would I put a pic up that wasnt me! If I was going to use a fake pic then it would be of someone stunningly beautiful! lol | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/20/2006 4:28:28 PM | There are always people who will lie, cheat etc to get onto forums, these are very sad f...ing people.
I have come across a couple of them, and nearly got banned from pof due to mentioning the name of one of them on here!!!!!
They obviously have nothing better to do in their poor pathetic lives than to try and hurt people, my advice ignore them!!!!! Unfortunately though you will always get this type of person on internet sites!!!! | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 12:37:29 AM | I spent ages trying to convince a friend on here that the stunning woman, with the professionally taken bikini pics, who lived in Africa and needed £500 to fix her pc, was telling porkies !!! Took him a while to catch on tho ... | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 5:40:08 AM | | everyone has different reasons for being here.... each to there own i suppose.... but as for the people banned i have seen gangs of so called nice people on here do nothing but bully and intimidate people and why should they be judge and jury or think they own the site and when someone is banned they can hardly defend themselfs about bitchy snipes about them posted here now can they!!! | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 5:43:10 AM | | i find that when it comes down to it the people that do that are sad individuals who dont want to be happy in life, at least we can come on sites like this to find happiness. | |
|
| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 1:13:49 PM | I have been reading the forums for a great while now. I think some of the funny fake ones are very amusing and are there just to amuse people and put a smile on peoples faces.  | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 1:18:50 PM | | its all about free speech and different opinions.. | |
|
| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/21/2006 8:08:15 PM | | I spotted few fakes and have them removed, soon they appeared again in adifferent id, some asking for money as they tell me they are hookers, or to cover their flights. You know what I mean, some married and do not want their partner to find out, others are bent on crime and scamming of many kinds. | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 8/22/2006 12:27:40 AM | | well people find it easy on the internet to hide from the world....escapism | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/7/2007 12:51:01 PM | | laura_sweetie is a fake , the pic on her profile is my friend Chloe and Chloe is not from portsmouth | |
|
| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/7/2007 1:00:13 PM | | Because some people are too afraid of being themselves and having people judge them on looks/appearance etc | |
|
| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/7/2007 1:05:34 PM | fakes? many people find their lives dull or themselfs unattractive!! i cannot see the point in fake pictures, as many are so clear that they are fake!! i use to be gallery picture admin at another site and could tell a mile off who had fake pictures and who had real pictures. as regards making up, another life. being somebody you are not that is just sad! especially with a dating site. fakes will get found out, in the end | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/7/2007 1:15:08 PM | | stick with the genuine ones you can spot them easily. | |
|
| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/7/2007 1:30:07 PM | there are people who are fakes in real life, i dont expect to find folk any different just cause they are on line, you just got to rise above it, and not get to upset, after all, they are the ones that make themselves a laughing stock, | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/8/2007 12:33:52 AM | I have tested the fake theory out,not on this site...I made a profile and used a pic of madonna LOL...My mailbox was full of mail when I went and checked weeks later..Of course I didnt answer it I was just testing my theory that looks actually do matter to a lot of people as my own profile didnt get diddly...yet my profile was obviously genuine as I had so many pics of me from different places and times... I only have the one profile here but If you are uncertain that the pic you are looking at isnt genuine always ask to see more...Obviously doesnt always work but its a start... | |

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/8/2007 12:37:42 AM | I think it depends on the type of fake... There are fake profiles that are people here only for the forums and are actually genuinely good fun, then there are the complete real fakes who use fake pics and are here to either dupe people or are too insecure to actually reveal who they are... I had a bad experience with the latter, had his friends pics up and confessed they werent his the day after we were supposed to meet up... I have since found out he had a fake profile just to keep an eye on the woman he was sort of dating.. eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk too many freaks and not enough circuses...... | |

I agree with that, just because you have your own photo doesnt mean you're not a fake.
Jules - Brilliant way of testing out the looks theory - bet that was fun! | |

too many freaks and not enough circuses
this is so damn true!!!
Fake profiles drive me insane!
There are those who are here to dupe people into relationships - tossers, and then there who make fakes for alterior motives!
The ones that hide behind fakes to say what they want to say to others without being seen, are just too sad in my eyes. Do not have the guts to stand up and be themselves and have conviction in what they say.
I stand behind no one (or any fake profile), I will always fight and I rarely (never say never) lose.

| Why so many fakes? Posted: 5/31/2007 5:43:23 PM | Often married / attached people hide behind a fake picture / profile In reality some have no personality or charm hence the falseness . | |
