| EMAILS: He seems too good to be true? She seems too good to be true?
Posted: 3/20/2006 8:44:48 AM | I've had my profile (and me) described to be 'too good to be true'.
But, if you TALK to the person, really talk - you'll learn if they are or not. Discuss everything, ask LOTS of questions. And encourage them to ask questions, too. You can learn a LOT from a person, just from the questions they ask, and their response to your answers.
Too good to be true? Usually, yes. :( But, you never know until you TRY. | |

Posted: 3/20/2006 10:21:50 AM | The very question "Is he/she too good to be true" is silly:
You write an e-mail, they e-mail you back... Conversation is interesting, stimulating and fun... Good Lord head for the hills before it's too late!  
I'm not directing this at the OP Dahliakitten, just the thread topic itself... If you believe you are a decent, hard-wokring person with values, dreams, and love to share, wouldn't that define you as a "good" person, and thus by this twisted reasoning render you "too good to be true" as well?
People check your insecurities/baggage at the door and embrace life because worries like this just waste it... Be cautious yes, that they are indeed who they seem to be and not a serial killer in disguise, but don't let a potential spark propel you into paranoia...  | |

I wonder why this statement came to be.
No positive is to good for me. HOWEVER; if they contradict themselves...then maybe. But if you think any given potential life, or person, is too good for you.....you've got issues.
But, if you TALK to the person, really talk - you'll learn if they are or not. Discuss everything, ask LOTS of questions. And encourage them to ask questions, too. You can learn a LOT from a person, just from the questions they ask, and their response to your answers.
No doubt.
I find that many people will think ANYTHING that does not involve something very negative or low is too good to be true. You see, in THEIR lives; good things and super amazing people or experiences just do not happen. ((and that's sad)
In short; I'm with Tiger on this one. (um..can I have an autographed Golf bag, or Buick please?) | |

Posted: 3/20/2006 4:10:51 PM | | I agree with tiger and zentral. If the person isnt' misrepresenting themselves (okay LYING) why wouldn't you want someone wonderful. Who is everything you're looking for? You pretty much have to take people at their word until you get to know them a bit. If you know how to read people at all, then it doesn't take long communicating with them before you can tell if they seem to be genuine. It'd be a shame to pass over someone who's everything you want just because you thought they were too good to be true. | |

Posted: 3/20/2006 8:04:50 PM | After corresponding with a couple of dozen women at PoF and meeting a few, I think that most of them don’t know themselves well enough to write an accurate profile and a few have told the lies so long that they’ve started to believe their on bs.

Posted: 3/20/2006 11:39:09 PM | Never had this happen. Doubt I ever will.
I did used to get a lot of e-mails/IMs from guys who wanted to meet... made a big deal about it, then disappeared for 6 months or so.. Only to turn up and talk as if they were never missing. Still wanting to get together, of course.
Always prompt me to ask them: "What's wrong, kitten... get dumped?" | |

Posted: 3/20/2006 11:48:39 PM | Talked to a "too good to be true" for about a month (different site obviously). Met about two weeks ago. Still too good to be true..........although he claims he is just human......maybe that is the problem. If they are REAL they seem too good to be true!!!

Posted: 3/21/2006 12:56:47 AM | I had that in my last relationship. SHE was always exclaiming that I was too good to be true, what a wonderful man I was, I must not be human, I'm so perfect, blah, blah, blah.
Turned out that she was the great lie. Everything about her, it seems. Don't know what to trust about ANYTHING in the relationship, including her claims.
Too good to be true? no. I have my flaws, I'm just a man.
I AM just human. I make my fair share of mistakes.
Don't put me on a pedastal. I'm afraid of heights, and it's damn hard to kiss you from up there. | |

Posted: 3/21/2006 7:50:44 AM | Well, the way I see it is........humans are, by nature, flawed. Having flaws and not trying to hide them does make a man seem almost perfect. You meet so many strange and frightening people on these sites that finding one who seems open, honest, and not much like a Psycho mommy killing canabalistic maniac, gives them an aura of perfection!!!!

Posted: 3/21/2006 9:06:40 AM | | I usually give people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise... however.. yes... I have had that happen to me.... he said the right things.. had a great profile... and after we met it was obvious he was looking for 'just sex' LOL LOL nothing wrong with that if that is what you 'both' are looking for.. but I have moved well beyond that and want it to count and be special.... | |
