Sometimes, when a man says on here, that he has a wonderful marriage to a beautiful woman, and they have a couple of the most marvelllous kids in the world, who have grown up to acheive greatness in adulthood, they are just wishful thinking.
In reality, it is possibly the opposite, that is nearer the truth. That is probably what has made them into what they are, and why they are on here, in the first place.
Now, I am not saying that all men on here are like that, far from it in fact, but there is a minority that fits this criterea, in my opinion.
As many of us have seen, from the publicity of such behavour, this often leads to other things, often unwanted.

Julia in Derbyshire

I do not care if the people I converse with on the internet are married,single, straight or gay as I am not thinking of having any 'relationship' with them.

I am not interested in Googling to find out about them, or being sent information from third parties that have done so.

Does that mean I`ll be OK with these foreign WOMEN who I get wanting me to add them as contacts on Skype then? :-S
Had another one today as a matter of fact...

Hello! Please add me to your contact list

location derban, South Africa

I have enough on with Facebook sending me all those "people I may know" piccies, (do I heck as like know them) :-|

Agree Julia..sad when people have to invent a life because their real life is lacking .

Rose, was he some sort of contortionist? :-D could be difficult.Re being Happily Married,I thought I was once, Then I got Divorced and then realised what happiness was. It cost a bit but was well worth it.. :-D John. you seem to be chasing Sylvia no matter what thread she goes on? Are you stalking her? If so Lay off, or I will report you and not just to GR.

i have come to the conclusion in life that the more people try to big things up..be it their marriage,,,their jobs..their parenting skills.....whatever......the less likely they are to be telling the truth.

These couples who have never had a cross word........ha !!!! My mother's friend used to wax lyrical about her argument free 30 yr relationship.....which we all believed until we turned up to collect them one day and could hear her screeching at him from the front gate LOLOLOLOLOL

well I've met a very nice man here on GR and he was/is very truthful - nearly four years now

Awwwww.... Ann, you`ve got me blushing now

I have to agree with Carol, it would not occur to me to google for information on somebody just so that I could 'catch them out' in a lie. What sad lives some people lead. If somebody says theya re happilt married and somehow it transpires they are not, so what, that is their misfortune, this isn't a dating site.

No Ann it is not a dating site but think it is important that members are made aware of people that are not telling the truth ...genuine people dont need to invent a life to join a site .

I haven't googled anyone on here...wouldn't DREAM of it....

Some people who omit to tell the truth, perhaps don't even see that as a "lie". I hate to disillusion anyone, friends in particular, so does one keep silent?

The only time I have LIED on here is when I said I had a knighthood and that I lived in a fairytale castle called Castell Coch. The reason I lied was to be droll and funny. Sorry if you believed I was a Sir and lived in a castle.

Have absolutely no reason to lie about anything else. There are a few details of my private life that I wish to keep private within my family. And however much I am provoked, I will not provide you with more information. I have had an extremely happy married life for over 33 years. Very proud of that actually.

I have been here a long time,and with one or two exceptions, I don't know anyone's marital status, whether they are happy or not, living 'alternatively', inventing their lifestyle....and it doesn't matter, as long as it has no affect on my 'real life'.

makes no difference to me what people say online, as long as there ok with me,

im not looking to get personal with anyone online, and lways take what anyone says who i dont "know" with a pinch of salt, as long as there polite to me ill be polite back


:-)

Well John do come along to our next lunch,I am sure you would both be welcome, well by me cos I am nosy and have never denied it ;-)

Me too! maybe I am a bit too trusting but I will take what being given until it rings alarm bells/ I wont agree to met ups or exchange of personal info unless I am VERY sure there is a family connection.

Think though that some who have had spats look like they want to carry on bitching which is sad.

I am NOT getting at anyone :-( :-( :-(

I am with you there, Stray.. Provided someone doesn't post anything nasty or malicious to me, I am easy peasy. As to my private life.....my business :-)

Ah Sue, I didn't know you did 'Lunches'? Hope you will invite me and mine some day <3

BC you are welcome at any of the Wales lunches :Edit..just remember to set off the day before :-D

I never have and never would take the time to google anyone on here - what would be the point - liars always give themselves away
