"WHEN LIES FEEL LIKE LOVE"

Five years ago, I discovered my husband’s secret life online—hidden behind a fake Facebook profile, charming countless women with lies. I was shocked, not just by his deceit, but by how many women believed him, some even going as far as undressing for a man who didn’t truly exist. I couldn’t understand how anyone could be so easily fooled.

Then I found myself exploring online spaces too. And slowly, I understood. It’s not always about being naive—it’s about being human. We all crave something: attention, validation, a sense of being seen. In a world where real connection often feels out of reach, even a fake version can feel real enough. Sometimes, it's not stupidity—it’s loneliness dressed in hope.

If you ever played an online game you would notice this is the same thing. Some games are so real you can hardly tell the difference between the graphics and real people.
The main difference is that with chat, there is no script to follow, no repeatable scenarios, everything is in real-time, so if seeing naked people is your goal, then you find ways to get it.
Same as in a game.
At least there is no killing involved, most games are all about killing.
