Since the definition of fake seems to be undetermined here it would be interesting to see what evidence you based your ascertion upon. LightningJack

I guess by the word fake it means people who are not genuinly looking, I have had many 'chats' with some seemingly very nice people, who when it gets close to the point of telling me anything about themselves (rather than telling me how great a Dom(me) they are,) then just ignore me. I have indeed memoed someone today, in a bit of a peev as - they have a great profile, are obviously intelligent, contacted me in the first place, I was impressed, sent a long mail, received a great reply, but a short one. They said they would tell me about themselves, instead they asked for my phone number. On the basis of two short emails I was not prepared to do this, but said I was not a million miles away from persuing this, I was (and am) intrigued and want to know a little more, thats all. All of our mails have been polite, and seemed to be getting somewhere, but they don't want to tell me anything about themselves, even though it is implicit in my profile that I won't proceed without this. I sent them a nice mail, they read it, have been online many times since, but can't even be bothered to say thank you for your mail. Frankly it is just plain rude! If people want to get off on exchanging pervy emails, then tell me! Don't pretend to be something that you are not! I once emailed someone on IC who's profile is a perfect match for me. I got the answer, HAVE YOU READ MY PROFILE what have you contacted ME for! I read the profile again, in case I had made a mistake, but no I had not. A friend actually left the site because of this, I'm not going to, cos actually I love you all, except the w*****s. Or is it fakes. (I will lighten up one day - honestly!).

Sounds reasonable. I'm very cagey about giving out stuff like that. I have to meet the person on "neutral" territory first. From a safety point of view as much as anything else. Theirs as well as mine
I agree. It is simple enough to send an email in reply to one recieved even if it's just a simple, thanks but no thanks!

The other side to the fake, is if somebody is honest, because you are always suspicious you will posibly assume the person is a fake.
Is honesty the best policy or is it best slightly embelished. there's nothing worse than trying to fist jam a greasy crack | |||

I think many people are basically a slightly exaggerated version of themselves on here. I think I am. As I tend to be a bit quieter, quite a lot shyer and not quite as cheeky in the real world. I also have a much more serious side which I tend not to express much here as I see IC primarily as a bit of escapist fun..with some lovely people.

Oh my! This is all getting a little metaphysical for me at this late hour! I think we all like a little embelishment. After all everyone would like to think that their playmate/partner/whatever is the best/nicest/dirtiest/meanest/etc But in general I suppose honesty to be the best. I always try to be honest because I have such a lousy memory I can't keep up the lies. But then again, I might be lying now!

During a lecture about how to create a CV, I was told 'theres no point saying that you're Honest in your profile, as if you were dis-honest you'd be lying about being honest'. I think maybe the word 'genuine' should be viewed similarly. Also, generally I tend to mistrust wild statistics such as 'theres more male subbies than female dommes' - as in the law of averages that's got to be innacurate and impossible to quantify. ian There's a bit of truth in every bit of fiction | |||
