Yes well. Those relationships are half real and half fantasies.
And if they lie... absolutely a deceiving fantasy..

But some go well. With honest people, that work for their relationship as a couple always👍.

@SW-User I do agree with this, nothing is impossible, but there are people here who are like "I have known Bob for 6 months online, and I love him". Ack, no, you love someone Bob showed you online, big difference :(

@Pherick exactly that's why honesty is the key...
In my case I'm always honest here and don't need to appear to be someone I'm not...
But.... In internet it's easier to lie and be someone else...like you say, appear different and fall for an image we create in our minds.
Imagine, if only in real life we tend to make people better than they are in our minds... Imagine in internet..... tricky! Mostly because honesty is hard to find. Anywhere

@SW-User Agreed, I try and same in real life and SW, it just makes things easier to keep track of :)

I have never quite understood the appeal of lying to get someone to like you, whats the payoff? Especially online?
