That describes like 90 percent of the dudes here.

I would like to add, be careful what you post here.

Some men are looking for lonely women who desperately want a relationship and have made posts describing their sadness at being alone.

I'm not saying not to post yoir feelings. I'm saying, be aware that becomes a beacon for manipulative men who see your loneliness and will try to use it to get what they want and leave you with nothing.

Pay attention to the things they say, the questions they ask. If they ask you things pretty quickly, like, are you married? Do you live alone? And make statements like, "sounds like men have really let you down", and say ambiguous things that show they really haven't read your posts beyond the emotional ones.

Please be careful. Please be observant. Please be aware of any red flags. You don't owe anyone anything here, no matter what attention they pay you if you feel even slightly off. Listen to that feeling. There's a reason why it's there.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't think that the danger is any less for someone falling in love with a woman online. I've been on EP before and found that to be safer enviroment. But then I quite that before it's end. To be make it short, I've been in the emotional trouble that you're in now. It's alright and will be that at the end of it. I'm sure that you'll not paint everyone with the same brush. You're better than that too. Here's a funny one, I've been blocked by plenty of people on here for my views already and somehow I see no trace of them here

Social media is not the place for finding love. I have only seen it work once , and those two are my best friends here . Usually it ends like with what happened to you . One person is a predator , gets what he /she wants, and moves on. The worst case is like what happened to end EP. The predator lured out the girl and killed her with her friends begging her not to go.

We need all the subtle sensory cues by seeing people repeatedly in our daily lives to properly evaluate them for who they are and if they are someone who is safe and worthy of your time and trust. Photoshopped pics and them telling you what you want to hear online or over the phone isn't safe and it usually doesn't end well.

There is nothing wrong with wanting love . It should and still does require effort and elbow grease, by both parties, to make it work .

😊

This is sad for me to read, especially since my SW ex-Mistress might well be thinking about me in the same way. 😢 Of course I would tell the story differently, and maybe this man you fell for would as well -- but the hurt is real. I hope you find healing and real love.

I am sorry you had to write this. I am sorry he took advantage of you. It should not be this way. There are lots of lonely people on both sides of this equation, I have been here (and EP) long enough to have seen it before. No one should allow themselves to be taken advantage of, yet it happens.

Your warning should be heeded. While naming the guy might be therapeutic, he will simply get another fake SW identity. Your post accomplished its mission.

However, I think his wife deserves to know what she's dealing with.

Listen here sis! Thank you for this! It's sad and I'm not by any means saying everyone is like this but SOME people are just selfish and have no soul. They are miserable and their sole purpose is to use anyone who will let them. If you are a person with a good, true, pure heart you give people a chance, you give them the benefit of the doubt and you go out on a limb and you trust them anyway and sometimes you find out the hard way that they aren't worth the air that they breathe.

You’re no fool, you were vulnerable and he used that against you. When it comes to online you really need to ask lots f questions because if you just talk long enough they trip themselves up over and over. Never share risqué photos. Keep them at a distance, if they are truly interested they will stick around and then you can verify their identity but beware of red flags. The times they come here, if they can only chat on phone certain times or are not easily accessible. Face chat. Pick varied times.

Oh I'm aware of the behavior. I'm not easy prey though. They don't get whatever they desire from me just because they have a flattering charming tongue.

I hope everyone heeds your words and approaches them with caution. Just a lesson in diligence to keep away from any danger that may lurk around the corner

Im very sorry this happened to you. I can think of four other ladies this has happened to at sw in the past year right off the top of my head. It’s really unfortunate

Who?

Who?

I am sorry you were hurt

So a married man lost interest in you. Sorry.

Unfortunately that's the only reason why a lot of the guys are here. They have literally nothing else going on in their lives. They think that feeling horny is the purpose for living. They're deeply sad individuals.

I cannot sit in judgement n black paint the guy need to hear what he has to say too..besides what you say is so obviously insane why would anyone trust anyone here in a social site ..

Did he tell you from the beginning that he was married?

You should out this guy

i read this and dont understand how this happens...but im too boring for any one to carry on a convo with me i suppose hahaha. i am interested though what kind of lines guys like this use to get such content from yall...then again maybe i shouldnt wonder i suppose ignorance is bliss and keeps me in check to be ignorant lmfao charming is deff not a skill of mine 💀😅

Name & Shame, it's the only way to protect

Is he upfront about being married?
