I'm always surprised how much shit a person catches over suggesting people, (men) be honest about their profiles.To be clear before I start, I'm not referring to people that identify as female. That's absolutely understandable and legitimate to me.
What I'm referring to are men, that have female profiles but arent even claiming to roleplay. So, men that fully choose to communicate as a woman but at no point are clear on that. Catfish I guess you could call it.
As a man, most of the "women" that contact me, are found out to be men. It's fairly clear and you can catch them out fast enough. But, it surely doesn't help the community.
What do women here think about the trend. As a woman looking to find a genuine partner, play mate, K9 owner, whatever.... Does it have a negative effect on your fun online? Does it make finding a man harder because men are so used to talking to fake female profiles that it becomes hard to trust female profiles and therefore can never really commit to you online?
I was going to say "I guess being honest raises a lot of red flags for some people." but the truth is I just don't understand the hostility towards suggesting honesty in the profile.
I'm not suggesting you post face pics or phone numbers, just be honest about what you choose to post.
I'm not suggesting you change this to a dating site.
But people do come here to associate with like minded people. It's a common theme with newbies, "I'm so happy I've found other people like me".
Well, maybe you did or maybe you just found a liar.
