Warning - Things Get Real On Here!

For people that think SW is all pretend, this is a warning. Have been talking to a friend for a long time, met him in person, etc. He got involved with a minor that was in the over 18 age category but really 17. Pics, visits, etc. Poor choices have now landed him in jail for most likely many years. He lost everything! Think long and hard before the SW game turns bad!!

That's why I don't fuck around with it. Federal time for a sex offense is not something folks want to deal with, and I don't think they realize.

Never get hooked up with young people to begin with and exchanging photos is a mistake unless everyone is fully clothed.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Handfull1 Yes it can. I have a favorite place I like to go for breakfast and lunch. I enjoy chatting with the waitresses there. The youngest just graduated college last fall. The oldest is in her 40's. But, it never goes past chatting. They are all married or have boyfriends anyway.
@Musicman It's called perversion for a reason.
lost213 · 46-50, M
@Handfull1 agreed. It certainly can
That's why I report them when I identify they are lying about their age.

I block minors for very good reasons.
@Handfull1 I don't like the term "hormones" being used in reference to men because it makes him sound like some beast like creature who can't help his desires.

We need to make sure that this doesn't become an excuse to justify crimes. Especially when we all have responsibility to not abuse or hurt others - more so when we are potentially dealing with children.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@HootyTheNightOwl again I’m not justifying anything. Cause and effect is not the same.
Badjujubee · 46-50, F
@HootyTheNightOwl I think you can find that the number of women who have been sentenced for sexual assault crimes in the form of teacher misconduct with a student has increased dramatically in recent years and I don’t believe that @Handfull1 was actually trying to justify anything with her comment. I think it’s been misinterpreted. But once again to everyone who is in this thread it’s not just about male sexual assault. The original story above was written about a male user who is now in the penitentiary but I believe that the warning was issued to all adults who are on this platform and who interact with anyone because they might be interacting with a minor lying about their age identity etc. So just be careful and be aware. Things may not be as they appear or easy to spot as a minor who is obviously lying and the penalties will be severe for anyone convicted of committing a crime. That’s my take away at least and I’m grateful for the post because it’s something that should be taken into serious consideration when you are on SW or any other part of the web for that matter.

Yes, I agree totally about that times 1000.. I don't understand why things have gotten out of control, especially with our school systems that are grooming underage children into transsexual activities..... Actually, that guy deserves every thing that happened to him, he should never have gone there... But he listened to the brain he has between his leg instead..... My advice to the ones on here, stay away from children, stick with the adults to have your fun with, and narrow your age gap... Be careful who you associate with....
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@Zeusdelight no maybe you’re ridiculous ..... good night
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@masterofyou I was waiting for name calling. Thanks, you met my expectations.
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@Zeusdelight well you asked for it ..
Keep your dicks in your pants folks. Problem solved.
You bet! Full of weirdos here- saying kids should be exposed to kink, etc. The police need to check their harddrives!
Musicman · 61-69, M
@NativePortlander1970 True, but it doesn't.
@Musicman Sadly so, too many prosecutors want those easy convictions.
Musicman · 61-69, M
If somebody is searching for girls on SW of all websites he needs to get out more
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
So he is where he belongs. No normal sane person would be attracted to a teen in my age or older. Your buddy is a groomer.
Snuffy1957 · 61-69, M
@Queendragonfly
Exactly!!
badminton · 61-69, MVIP
If a person is over 18 then by definition they are not a minor.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@MsSwan guys can’t figure this out! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
@Handfull1 This is the site where they would do the nasty with their own mothers...
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@HootyTheNightOwl definitely some would!!!
WillaKissing · 56-60
Yes, here and any other site or app a person may use.

I have used dating sites in the past where men posted women's pics and said they were a woman, up until that setting up a first meeting place and they revealed they were really a man. Thank God they did, and we never talked again after a short "What the F" conversation/text from me.

There are always those criminal's and serial type killer lurking out there as well as we learned from the Craigs list killer and robbers too.

Be aware very aware!
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
That too. But also child pornography. So be careful what you look at or send on here!
@Handfull1 And if you think something is suspect, be sure to hit that report button. That's what it's for. The admins would rather have faulty reports that aren't actually of kiddie porn than people afraid to report it if it is.
Snuffy1957 · 61-69, M
That sucks.... be VERY careful who you chat with !!
Mikedewars · 70-79, M
This is why I prefer th over 60 crowd
@Mikedewars Even then, you're not guaranteed safety...
These days you have to get a picture. I dated a guy who was 21 when I was 17 once and a party we were at got raided by cops. I don't know if a neighbor called or what but when I was asked by police if I had relations with anyone over 18, I lied. I never regretted it either. So how did this guy get in trouble. How did this come out?
Keeper · M
He never bothered to ask "are you over 18"? 🤔
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Keeper not a victim. Was never my intention. I was trying to open some people’s eyes. I also try to not be as judgmental as some. None of us are perfect and I think the Bible mentions humility somewhere! But shoot away if it makes you happy!
@Keeper That depends on how you see it. It sounds to me like he was talking to what he believed was an adult - because of the 18-21 age range... then it later transpired that the real victim was just 17 at the time of the crime being committed.

Obviously, there's more to the story than we know here - but it certainly highlights the need to be very careful of what you are doing and who you do it with... because you never know who is hiding their true age behind a higher age bracket.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@HootyTheNightOwl absolutely.
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
This is one reason I preach that one word [b][big]Marriage[/big][/b] so much

In hope to scare sex chatters away from me.

Everyone lies on-line
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@HumanEarth honestly, I don’t!
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
They lie to us
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@HumanEarth probably some!
SW-User
Yes. Read my post about have you met anyone on SW.

I was nearly the victim of a convincing hoax from a pair in Australia when on EP.


You have to be very guarded.
@SW-User Yup. Trust no one.
Maturebate · 70-79, M
This is very good advice but makes one increasingly cynical because it is not safe to assume that people are mainly truthful. Sad!
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Maturebate true, but my gut instinct has generally served me well over the years. One just needs to listen to it!
firefall · 61-69, M
a minor that is in the over 18 age category??
firefall · 61-69, M
@Handfull1 oh but actually under 18? OK, thanks for the clarification
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@firefall I think this happens more than people think.
firefall · 61-69, M
@Handfull1 you're probably right. It certainly did back in EP
He learned the hard way. Must have known at some point she was undersge. Now he pays the price.
Axeroberts · 56-60, M
Just goes to show that you don't know who anybody is especially online
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Axeroberts no one really knows 100% of anyone. Even our closest family & friends!
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
So he met this minor and had sex and got caught ?
@Midlifemale Thinking she was of age.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
Thankfully I don’t play with borderline age groups.
Love2fish2901 · 70-79, M
Wow really need to be wise and careful
lost213 · 46-50, M
😲…🤔 I may have to start asking for id’s.
homespun2 · 70-79, M
very good advise
your profile says 61-69,,you can be 14 ,,how can we know your not under age,,
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@jackrabbit10 nothing shocks me anymore but there’s still plenty that don’t think it can be real.
SW-User
@jackrabbit10 perhaps tell by tone of conversation, topics discussed ??
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@jackrabbit10 who would ever pretend to be 61-69 and be 14? Maybe if I was 80! 😂😂
MissyChrissy · 18-21, F
Its hard to believe. Your friend could not know that she was under age if she pretends to be older.
In my country its only a problem if the girl is under 14.
This message was deleted by its author.
MissyChrissy · 18-21, F
@Handfull1 Well, that's a different thing, Ma'am.
But in my country its no problem too if its consensual and she is 14+.
What did he with her in personal, Ma'am?
MissyChrissy · 18-21, F
@Handfull1 Ma'am, can you answer my last question please?
Babaloo64 · 41-45, M
Rightly said
masterofyou · 70-79, M
Its real alright but its full of mindless people,with no real content....
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@masterofyou definitely not all tho!
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@Handfull1 It's growing.....
looping · 18-21
depending on his age i'd still consider him a creep. i'm only 20 and the idea of doing anything with an 18 year old grosses me out
oldercanuk1 · 70-79, M
got to be really careful ,,, good that you posted this i am new back ,, things have changed ,,,
To be fair, men your age who want to talk to anyone under 40 sexually are a bit sus 🤷‍♀️
He was a supercool guy tbh. I still think about h8m from time to time.
Massageman · 70-79, M
Someone needs to tell the POTUS.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Massageman maybe the former one also! 🙄🙄
Adogslife · 61-69, M
I have no interest in women twice that age.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
Wow! That is truly awful!
Thatsright · 61-69, M
Good job task force!
That’s really too bad. People are not what they seem. The safest thing is often to keep things virtual, with the real world separate, because there’s no way to know.

@LvChris who ever painted anyone as a victim? He’s getting punishment for his bad choices.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@LvChris Do we even know the age of this person? Would you say the same thing if it turned out to be a 20 year old guy? Really? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Omg..
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
There’s a lot of older men here that go after the 18-21 F crowd. They are called predators.
In many jurisdictions that 17 year old would be charged with producing and distributing, doing time in juvie, then on the registry themselves for life. I have a buddy in NorCal who's neighbor's 15 year old niece sent nudes to her bf, whose mother saw them and reported her.
@Handfull1 Regardless, the 17yo girl would still be charged, convicted, and sentenced, in many jurisdictions.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@NativePortlander1970 in many ways, I would like to see at least some charge.
@Handfull1 Check your state laws on it, if they do not have it, have your state representative or senator sponsor a bill to charge minors for producing and distributing their own selfies if they're pornographic in nature.
