I am a New Member at Similar Worlds

So just because I refuse to chat with someone from a Microphone and don't want to see a picture of someone, I've been labeled as a man, How rude is that. I find it completely ridiculous that I have to chat with someone that I just met to prove I'm not a man. Come on really!

You may find this hard to believe Mombrit but it happens to guys too. I have lost count of the number of 18-25, F's who msg. me with next to no personal information in their profile saying they find 'older gentlemen' like me [b]very attractive[/b] and maybe we should 'get together' some time. As soon as I ask what subject we last talked about their profile disappears altogether. I don't have to block them. As soon as I demonstrate that I am not a complete fool they lose interest. There is implicit risk inolved in all dealings on the internet, not just this site. It is still worthwhile being able to chat and share various experiences anonymously if you keep your wits about you. Fakes turn up everywhere in life, sad but true. It is part of the game. I do not expect Similar Worlds to solve the problem because Similar Worlds exists for the purpose of allowing atrangers to chat anonymously with a minimum of formality. That is the main attraction with it. If there are one or two scam artists who want to take advantage of everyone else they will be the biggest loser of all and it serves them right. My experience with Similar Worlds and previously with Experience Project is mostly rewarding and satisfying. I think that is most likely also true for you as well.
