Uhmmm ... this board is us to review your profile, not to determine if someone else's is valid or not. Frankly, it is probably against the forum rules for us to do that anyways.

yes, it's against rules to name names.
Just about everyone who has been online dating for awhile has run into a liar or a*hole. Give up and move on. If you don't trust him there are other fish in the sea. Why waste time and energy on this one?
Sheesh

The point is why does it matter?
If you even suspect the pic may be 'stolen' then you don't trust him and why waste your time inquiring any further?

because he sounds like a decent guy, except for a few ppl telling me the picture that he has belong to someone else.
why pass up the opportunity to talk to someone decent? thats why i was asking if anyone knows him in real life. thats all.
not looking for any person information or anything like that

By doing this action, we would be passing judgment on him in the worst way possible ... on questioning his very existence. That's extremely disrespectful.

the less fake profiles we have, the better, no?

its not passing judgment, not when 5 different people have told you that picture belong to someone else.
any chance to find a fake profile is good. and personally i like the guy from what i know, so im not passing any negative judgement on him

Oh for Heaven's sake ... people hide their profile half of the time around here. It means that they don't want to be disturbed.

Oh, and I did find it, and it says that he is "not single/not looking." So I'd suggest that you do him a favor and just leave him alone. I don't know if you are an ex or not, but just movin on with your life is probably the best idea for you now.

edit: Ok then, just believe the five other guys. How the heck are we going to know any differently? And was mentioned before, even if I knew without a doubt, I couldn't let you know on these boards ... it is against the rules.

thats the thing, he told me that he is single, just picky about who he talks to thats why he picked "not looking". that gave me a warning sign right there. but after that he seems like a nice guy.
and no im not his ex, not even close.

If I were to review his profile, he'd have a TON of tips.

You read that and were actually interested in talking to him??


*EDIT*

Oh wait, nevermind; just read yours...

So this is how the other half lives, eh? Very interesting...

Ok, then are you are trying to come across as someone is either (a) psychotic or (b) a massive control freak? Note that I'm not saying that you are. However, by posting like this around his back, it sure puts out on the table that perception. Is that your goal? On the surface, it sure sounds like a wonderful way to scare off a nice guy.

Stop this line of questioning on the board. It sounds like you have reservations with the guy, so if you want to salvage something, sit down with him and talk with him about it. Otherwise, just move on with your life.

im not posting nothing behind his back. this forum is open to anyone and everyone. he is welcome to read it too. not trying to hide it or anything. if he is real and has an issue with me asking, we'll figure it out. and if he's fake and someone confirms that, thats one less fake profile out there

Damnit, Seek. That's the 3rd keyboard you've ruined this week...

Right, but with such an anemic profile; how you get people to find out is beyond me.

I'm metric EFF-tons more than my profile and you'd still get a loose feel for who I am by my profile.

Yours? His? They say nothing.

So you have told him that you are checking up the validity of his profile by posting this question on this message board?
