    I'm hot, wealthy, and enormously successful. I work as a well-known actress in Hollywood, have been a lingerie model, former cover girl for Sports Illustrated, married to a basket ball star, divorced from a current NFL player, and spend most of my time traveling between the French Riviera and the Greek islands on my 225-foot, private yacht. I've hung out with George Clooney and Brad Pitt has agreed to be my child's God parent.

    Everyone wants me or is jealous of me for my perfect life. Don't be hating.

    My profile is completely made up. I even have a throwaway email address that I used to create my profile. I could never hope to be as exciting or handsome as the person I have chosen to be in my profile.

    I'm really a 37 year old unemployed, socially inept, cosplay gamer living in my Parents' basement.

    I'm really Elton John, but must hide my identity as not to attract attention.

    If someone is pathetic enough to want to meet their soul mate from a calorie counting website they should be smart enough to use skype before they officially meet.

    Require them to send you a picture with them holding a piece of paper that reads "Rage_Phish". Problem solved

    People on forums have only been doing the classic "picture name drop" FOREVER. Its not that hard to figure out that someone is really who they say they are. THE PROBLEM is Photoshop and angled pictures.

    If you get a message from Cr01502, RUN and RUN FAST! He will not be able to help like he promises.

    OP, you can also give out your kik info to everybody. That way you will know for certain who the real, genuine people are.

    I just alway imagine EVERYONE as a taco smelling fat *kitten* in a basement, typing on his computer while stroking his cat (yes cat you dirty people). This helps me keep things in perspective.

    And, as you can see, I have an amazing plan for world domination. So it's not all bad.

    So I keep seeing in the forums that there is plenty of flirting going on around here, but I never see it actually happen. Now, in real life, I really can't tell when a woman is flirting with me. Is it the same thing on here? Or is no one flirting with me? :sad:
