Downfalls to this site...

Downfalls to this site...


Has this happened to you?

Have you ever chatted with someone who seemed normal, who seemed like a fairly decent and reputable person, but then received evidence to the contrary?

I briefly chatted with someone last night and, like always, I was pretty honest about my thoughts and opinions in regard to meeting and the site in general. I like to get to know someone first to make sure I know what I'm getting myself into.

It's been a while since I actually decided to meet anyone from here, though.... I feel like the site is in its decline and, while I really enjoy the bloggers on here, the guys who would actually intend to meet me are less than par.

I received a message from a guy who lived an hour and a half away from me, I responded by telling him he lived to far away. That developed into a conversation that led me to believe the guy was actually kind of smart, and genuinely nice.

Then I logged on this evening to find this in my inbox. Um, yah, he had mistaken our conversation for one with someone else.

I don't believe you.
9/6/2020 6:30 pm
Even if that was the case -- that you fell asleep -- you did not contact me this morning or this afternoon to apologize.

Nor have you yet explained yourself ... You certainly did get many texts from me last week and you simply ignored them. ... Don't tell me that you got some but didn't get others. That's another lie.

Same thing here on NoStrings -- I wrote you and wrote you and wrote you ... and you responded only to a few and ignored the vast majority.

You must be honest and trustworthy and reliable and considerate. And so far, you're none of those.
9/6/2020 6:32 pm

Um... Yah. Sorry, wrong Chica. I've never texted you. Honest and trustworthy? You're telling off the wrong person.
9/6/2020 7:47 pm

Yep


In essence, I kind of learned that the guy who is demanding honesty and trustworthy from someone else is actually kind of a scum bag. He's certainly not being honest and trustworthy to her... He was trying like hell to get me to take the next steps and meet up with him.

Would I have been a revenge fuck?

A rebound chick?

A tool to make another woman feel inadequate and jealous....

Doesn't really matter as I had respectfully declined based on distance, but I kind of wonder, had he lived closer, would I have maybe given him a chance? He seemed like a nice, honest, intelligent guy.

Luck was on my side this time...

    Quoting Hectotane:
    When I started using this site last Friday, I had gotten ahead of myself and stepped into one of these scammers.

    "She" said she's using his boyfriend's old account (but it's actually a hacked account). I was tricked into giving out a full-body dick pic while I was expecting her to come around. (She said that she's close by.) I didn't hear anything for an hour and I needed to fall asleep because I have work the next day.

    I woke up to find out that "she" was threatening to send out my fullbody dick pic to the rest of the internet. This person had the wrong info about me. (The phone number used to belong to someone else. This happens often.) But "she" wanted $500 wired through Western Union in order for me to stop it. I immediately reported it to NoStrings and the police.

    Yeah. This place looks like it has too many scammers. NoStrings seriously needs to do something about this. Since, you know. People are putting money into it monthly.
Oh yikes!! I'm sorry you had to experience that right off the bat! I always communicate back and forth for a bit before taking it to the next step. There are way too many crazies out there.... and scammers.

    and now i am drawing a blank if i've had anyone do that to me...
    i'm glad you got this message before deciding to move forward.

    right now i have someone in another town who claims to be in my town all the time. the conversation has dwindling to asking me if it also rained in my town...
I've had guys claim that as well.... Turns out, they are NOT always in your town. They are only in your town when they're feeling horny and it's convenient for them.

It's guys like that who tend to make their presence known first.... So, yes, when that's all I've seen, I start to assume everyone who contacts me will be that way. Harder for those who are not, they have to prove they are not.

Oh, you are so correct.... I don't see the fake accounts nearly as much as the men on here do, but the time wasters I do encounter. Frustrating.

It’s an unfortunate fact that online interaction inevitably leads to disappointing encounters or revelatory instances such as yours.
I’ve experienced them plenty of times. All I can say is always trust your gut feelings. Intuition is a very precious quality to possess.
People who present themselves a certain way only to reveal a far more disturbing side is always unexpected despite the experience being sadly common. Either you can be an optimist and hope they are telling the truth or a pessimist who doubts everything said until proven otherwise.
It sucks that you had the encounter but as others have said, you thankfully dodged a bullet.
I hope you do find someone to share a life and happiness with, either during or after this strange times. Take care.

    Mine was the exact same format as yours, A prelude, a copy of the message, followed by a personal commentary. Your's was interesting while mine was "meh".
I don't think I've ever ready anything you wrote that was simply 'meh'.

    She 'texted and texted and wrote and wrote all with no reply... he might have had a lucky escape from her 😂😂
    I have lots of chats with different men... I'm not looking for just sex but I like to chat and i assume as they are looking for sex they are chatting to other women too.
    I wouldn't get hung up about that but if we met and decided to take it further.. THEN I would have an issue if he were talking to other women... or even stating on here.
He was the one doing the chatting and texting... She was the one avoiding. Lately, I'm really only been blogging on here as, I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for anymore... It's very mid-life crisis-ish...

It has been my experience that distance is a hindrance. Distance means cancellations because "I just don't have the time". Distance means "I have to travel a total of 3 hours so it gives me the right to be demanding". Distance means "I'm putting wear and tear on my car and gas in my tank you should be thankful I've graced you with my time." Distance also puts a damper on meeting up on an unexpected free afternoon for a few hours.... It just doesn't work for me.

    I have finally become aware. This site is like the lottery. We are pretty sure our odds of winning is quite low, but we play it anyway just in case we might be that one in 10 million to get a hit. I do enjoy the blogs somewhat, but a good meet, I don’t even expect. However the virus has impacted that, also. I did recently meet a man in real life and there are issues there, too. But, I feel that is the best way to go to meet someone over all. But now we are shut in somewhat. The way he spoke to her tells you what he is. Bullet dodged maybe.
This virus really has changed the whole dynamic of things, hasn't it? I also feel the best way to get to know who someone really is, is by a face to face meet. You can tell a lot by a persons appearance, demeanor, and ability to hold a conversation. So much is hidden behind the anonymity of a screen name.

    I rarely meet anyone from this site in person because frankly they aren't worth my time or energy.

    I've discovered the more you chat with someone the faster they reveal their crazy or true intentions
Lately, I've only been blogging on here. Meeting someone has kind of lost my interest... Between the pandemic and the guys I've encountered, and the fact that I think I'm just ready to find someone I can invest some time in, I'm pretty certain what I'm looking for can't be found here.
