Misleading members
 

I have recently come across a member with a 20-30s profile pic but upon talking to them they are in reality 50 is this something I should expect I want to have fun with people my own age not those who are nearly 3x my age

You are moving in the internet. For all you know I could be a very clever dog typing and answering you...

People can be whoever they want to be on the internet. There are always going to be people who lie about their age, gender, weight, hair color, job, etc.

50 percent of the people around here who say they are 18 are probably underage.

That is why it is important to go slow, get to know people before you trust them and be aware of the risks before doing anything you may regret.

You'll be able to tell when it's my dog typing, the lack of typos give it away! :p

Many people "pad up their resumé" on the internet. Reading my posts, you might think I am a handsome, debonair and devilishly clever spy/international man of mystery, who drives a wickedly powerful 2017 Aston Martin DB9. But in real life, I only drive a DB7.

Says the guy who keeps claiming here that he's up for (nearly) all dares and challenges, but hasn't reacted a single time I tried to contact him via kik, not even to say he isn't interested after all.

Have you considered the possibility that the threadstarter may simply not be Interested in you? Although he states that he "up for nearly anything", that doesn't imply that he plays with everyone - in fact, his thread implies just the opposite, that he has very strong selective preferences.

Basic (unwritten) rules of social interaction:
- just because someone is friends with everyone, it doesn't mean they will be friends with you
- just because someone sleeps with everyone, it doesn't mean they will sleep with you
- just because someone is a sub, it doesn't mean they will submit to you
- just because someone is a Dom, it doesn't mean they will want to dominate you
- Just because someone is a prolific dare taker, it doesn't mean they will accept dares from you
- Just because someone is a prolific dare giver, it doesn't mean they will give you dares.
- et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum

Everything is personal. So establish a personal relationship first before jumping off the deep end.

And that was the misleading part here. I'd bet you DO have the DB9

So if a user has set its profile picture to a naughty dog, do you expect the user to be a dog as well?

But... but... SeaFlower is a flower, right? I mean, she has to be. She won't post a pic of a flower to mislead us, right?

As far as my pic is concerned, it IS a bit misleading. In the years since I uploaded it, my chest hair has grown.

Fiendishly clever for a flower, aren't you? I am beginning to wonder whether you are a KGB plant.

Now, although I was defending the threadstarter's right to selective preferences, I do agree that the premise of this thread is silly. 98.3% of photos in advertisements are misleading. 99.2% of photos on dating sites are misleading. 83.6% of all photos on instagram are doctored/filtered - the rest are disgusting. 100% of the things that Trump says are misleading.

Since the dawn of civilization the principle of caveat emptor has rules over practically every social interaction. It's even more applicable in the internet age.

It's internet ...most of the profiles are misleading here.
Only way you can be sure is by getting to mow them better as a person before jumping into doing tasks or play and other stuff

I love the playful way this thread has gone.

Runesmith, you are now a legend...as long as the KGB doesn't figure out if it's really a DB9 or DB7

Like Edgeandenial says, you really have to spend some time getting to know the people you chat with as it does seem that a lot of the profiles are misleading. I don't know about most, but certainly a lot.
