    People just lie.

    In real life they do (they do it to self improve)

    On the internet they do it (to self improve)

    People just want to be perceived by others as being more worthy and accepted in general, so they (in general) fabricate the truth. The internet just makes it so much easier for most.

    I think it's sad when people have to lie..especially about simple things like working out. I really, really can't stand it when they are a BAD LIAR and you know they are frickin lying...

    I tell people that my dog eats her own poop sometimes, but it's only an assumption.

    I've seen her sniff and lick her poop, and her breath smells of poop, but I have not seen her eat it.

    I'm a monster. :cry:

    I'm really a dude.


    But don't tell anyone.

    I always just assumed you were a dude. Bulky and all that.

    There are lots of reasons. Though what I have noticed, is either people lie to be something they are not ; so that they get attention, etc.

    The other reason is because I noticed that people online have expectations that are far too unreasonable. So to live up to that hype they lie.

    This thread made me think of this:

    When you got my kinda stats, it's hard to get a date
    Let alone a real girlfriend
    But I grow another foot
    And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in

    Insecurity with themselves. Anytime people present than themselves as something other than themselves it is due to an insecurity or unhappiness with who they are.

    "Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
    So you drop all you defenses, and you drop all your fears
    And your so busy feeling good
    That you never question Why
    Things are going so well
    You wanna know why?
    Cause I'm a Liar

    I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
    And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
    I really identify with you, so much
    I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
    You'll never forget me... you wanna know why?
    Cause I'm a Liar"

    Because they want their online persona to be the actual person they really are.

    unless they are married and telling you they love you.. then they are a douche.
