a friend of mine used to play Final Fantasy Online with a hot model from Florida. I always joked about her being a dude, but he eventually flew down there to bang her and came back with pictures. So, now I'm pretty sure he's just really good with photoshop and doesn't want to admit I was right.

I once had a conversation about Everquest with an NFL cheerleader I met in bar--I didn't know she was a cheerleader until we started talking about Peyton Manning dismantling the Ravens the previous Sunday.

What I hate is how these stupid scammers make it so hard for the rest of us. A girl like me just wants to meet a nice guy, you know? A guy who, sure, likes football and going to bars, but who also likes to stay in and play video games every now and then. I mean, I can't be the only person out there who dreams about naked cuddling during Firefly and BSG marathons, can I? Who dreams about a guy who's confident enough in himself to know that just because I'm some 36-23-36 swimsuit model, I don't care what the man I love looks like as long as he's smart and gentle and kind? What I want is a man who can make me laugh, who will take me on walks beside the ocean and camping in the mountains, who's not afraid to walk in the rain without an umbrella. My guy will want to make love every night just like I do, and he'll know that those few times I say,
not tonight, honey, I feel like raiding
, what I mean is that I'm going to make it up to him the next morning in spades. I want a man who loves big, natural breasts. Who gets turned on by a girl who prefers a small penis. And honestly, I don't think it makes me shallow to want to know that he can support himself financially, you know? I mean, so what if I want to run a background check before we meet? I don't want to waste any time, and no respectable guy should either, so what's the big deal in providing some basic information up front? Think about it this way ... what's your social security number next to the possibility of lifetime happiness? It's just so sad how untrusting the world is. I have so much I want to give, if only you would take a chance. Someday, I hope. I know he's out there somewhere.

State Consumer Affairs director Gary Cordell said scammers have been known to steal the real names and photos of U.S. service personnel to set up a fake profile, then prey on the sympathy and patriotism of victims.
That sort of thing wouldn't be tolerated in the core.

With me it was always Russian super models. Funny thing was no matter what I wrote, they neevr responded to my questions but were madly in love with me. Even when I used a "Yoda Speak Generator" to compose my letters. Personal dating sites seem to be a waste of my time. Facebook seems to work a lot better. You get a chance to kind of know the person before you decide to try a date and usually it is a friend of a real friend or acquaintance so you have a little background.

A friend of my wife is going through this right now.
No matter how much you prove to her that this guy doesn't own a panda, she is right and he does own a Panda.
No matter how much you try and inject logic into the fact that if he did have $18,000,000 he wouldn't need her to wire him $1-$2K per month when she only gross about $1400 a month, you are a cynical hater and she has found true love.
Unfortunately she is as beautiful as she is smart. And guess what, it's the only thing her and I agree on. But obviously NOT for the same reasons.

I saw it a lot. People with insane expectations and entitlement issues.
Though I can't knock online dating. Met my current girlfriend with it and it's been the smoothest relationship I have ever had. But man, you really have to wade through the dregs of the dating world to find the good ones.

Myspace angles, entitlement "tells," being specific about what kind of religious/political/news junkie he wanted. Even for a good-looking guy, it isn't as simple as "choose hottest girl among many."

Oh the MySpace angles... that is a rough lesson to learn. it also teaches you "average" with regards to body type has a very wide (often emphasis on "wide") range of interpretations.
