New level of creepiness

New level of creepiness

Someone sent a message a few days ago and attached his mug shot.
Turns out I actually kind of know him, he's from my home town, don't particularly like him and definitely don't want him to find out who I am. So replied back saying I wasn't interested (being nice about it mind) and left it at that.

The next day I get a message from someone who appeared to be a brand new member. So replied back asking him if he's new, or back for more.
"I'm new that's my first time ever for dating on a site like this. Feels like I'm a virgin lol. Is that a bad thing for you?"

Few messages sent back and forth. Seemed like a genuine guy.

"So what now? Do we meet for a drink, or keep chatting?" he asks.

Replied back suggesting we exchange mug shots first and take it from there. I normally don't send my picture first, but because he was new and I wanted him to know there are real and genuine people on here (which apparently doesn't happen very often), I stupidly attached my picture.

"I think we know each other already. Is that a problem?" with his picture attached.
Same guy as the day before!!!! "Yeah I feel like a virgin on here" my ass!!!! Why would someone do that if I already turned them down! And obviously he now knows who I am as well. Slick, lying, creepy loser. Not happy about this at all.

So my lesson for this time: Never send my picture first. Ever!!!!
And even after all the crap I've seen and heard on here, I'm still too trusting.

True regarding the headless torso, I suppose I do that so as not to get recognised like most of us when out and about
It's the weekends that are a dead give away for me now having met someone on another site on a weekday night a few months ago, a few towns away (safe) only to find out he worked away from home in the borders weekdays and went home every weekend. Pity as it was a good night and would have repeated it but not when the proverbial hits the fan!
I live and learn, still ....

Like you (prior to this recent experience of yours) I would never entertain sending my 'mug' shot first. I too live in a small ish town now tho originally from a city and believe me, the latter is easier in terms of being less likely to awkwardly know / recognise someone.
I am also now far less likely to reply to men who only have torso shots as their profile pics as turns out they're in a relationship even if not living together or married but the other half has thought they were in a monogamous relationship ... but how are we able to check that? I like you, was much too trusting in the past and I've never wanted dalliances / fun with someone who was openly lying to their other half! 😒

Don't mind the headless torsos too much. They're probably the same as me, not wanting to be recognised when they're out somewhere at work, or doing their shopping.
The cheaters are usually the people that can only do short daytime meets, because in the evenings and weekends it's family time....

Just read the "creep" fuck! that is scary, definitely scary shit for a woman with a kid. And what a laugh for the law. Such an ass. The police can only follow laws that some idiots bring in! Haha human rights! Now, for a man is different, of course, even if we can be victims of abuse too. And this man, ahh...See, for a change, and as I am not on any social media, I may of chosen to use some very willing mates from Eastern Europe, people I could meet on building sites every day, and do a locate and extract kind of thing. Locate person, and extract knee cups! One would be very surprised to find out what could be achieved with a couple of hundred!!! Just saying
Thanx for liking my pic! Of course, it's a mutual feeling!
I am saying no more, only wondering how after that, you went and trusted, and send pics! Well I am not wondering. You told us you wanted to prove you are real. And it's the believing, damned believing, believing that most others are like us, that pushes us to such mistakes, at times. But if you stop believing, what next? Big 0. Hope dies last they say. Anyway here are a few things to help you find your feet on here.

Whew!! We all men and women have to be careful. Your own safety comes frist

(Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group


Pringles0510 replies on 4/1/2017 12:55 pm:
Never really thought my safety was an issue, but on sites like these you constantly have to watch your back. Saying that, guy from this blog is harmless, won't think for a second he would ever do physical harm. But he's just shown me what a pathetic, desperate liar he is.

Now that one is a scary one. I'm very skittish to send my pics out first, and if theres any chance I know you I just won't do it until I learn something about you so to eliminate that problem.

Makes meeting locals difficult, but its your safety and career that can be jeopardized.

Ever since I signed up I've been wanting to find someone local for regular fun. Might have to change my goals slightly and look for someone in the city.

It's nice to be part of a site where members are for the most
part honest and sincere in their efforts to build thicker walls and
maintain soaring towers of glistening ivory.Deepening the divide
and ensuring that the disparity they provide will long endure in
the hope that one day we will conquer imperfection as a species
erasing any need for excuses for hiding who we really are.
Where presumptive as well as assumptive reasoning that drives
so many to unfounded calls of judgement would combine with the
thin air where our messages of interest call home and just disappear
for ever.It's just a dream!Sorry to hear that happened!

Using more than all the road!

Wow... That summed up a nasty situation in quite a beautiful way.
You're good with words. Will now go and read through your blog x

One of the reasons I do not post a photo here is that I not only know a few people here, I'm related to them. So here you go. LOL. Small town = everyone knowing your business is already a pain. There are good people out there but sometimes they can be hard to find. Don't let a few bad experiences outweigh the good. Jimmy B.

My blog JimmyB7474 is called Into The Woods (erotica) entertaining stories about a guy named Jimmy. Enjoy.

Sometimes sucks living in a small town. Still wouldn't change it for city life though.

Hassle? Like as in, please take it down it's scary? Nope. The otherway around? Again nope! I don't mind who knows I am here and who does not. I even passed the link to my blog to both my daughters and my sis. Ok now you started me... Years ago, on another dating site I am chatting with this woman. We arranged to meet the next day. Next, her niece visits, that evening on the eve of the date. Niece was schoolfriends with my older daughter! Niece also, did not know I was divorced by now. Well, excited auntie and niece, talked about tomorrows date, auntie says, I got a pic of him, let me show you!!!! Niece to auntie 'noooooo, he is married, he is so and so's dad!!!! OMG!!! Then I returned home and my older daughter was there, ( still living with me until the house was sold.) She was on the phone to the niece, and we all pissed ourselves laughing. In the end, the next day, at the date, it was me, that woman, her niece with boyfriend, my daughter with boyfriend, ouch. I think I better start hidding my picture from now on, might be cheaper lol.


Pringles0510 replies on 4/1/2017 12:23 pm:
Turned out well in the end then. That's classic!!
I like your profile picture. Really stands out from dick pics and headless torsos. But it can cause a lot of grieve.
See [post 38522665] (look for creep, page 2 on my blog if that link didn't work - still getting the hang of the technical bits) for more about mug shots.

There's been a couple of times I thought I might have been talking to someone I actually knew. Fortunately, it was never the case. It is a harrowing experience. I can only imagine what it's like for it to actually happen. You have my sympathies.

I've long railed that the info discrepancy has to be heavily skewed towards the person who initiates the conversation. I have no shame about expecting 10 times more information from them than I actually give out in return.

I've also learned to not give out my actual location. I always list myself a town or two over from where I really am. That's becoming more and more the norm around here.


Pringles0510 replies on 4/1/2017 12:30 pm:
Just didn't want to go by "distrust everybody", it's not in my nature and ruins a lot. Guess I'll have to change that attitude

We sometimes do have a slow learning curve, wanting to encourage a "good one" while sorting out the lecherous and creepy stalkers. Forgive yourself. Learn? Of course. Let him know that you're looking for more chemistry and someone with similar values, like honesty. Or just plain stop answer his emails. He'll get tired of the game and move on sooner or later. He asked if it was a problem.......yes. Just plain not what I'm looking for. No more explanations.


Pringles0510 replies on 3/31/2017 12:18 pm:
First time I politely let him know he's not what I'm looking for. Second time I let him know he's a lying creep and there's no way I would ever want anything to do with him

He might have just sent you a fake picture anyway, knowing that you're from the same area. . There's so much to think about before meeting people from here.


Pringles0510 replies on 3/31/2017 12:14 pm:
He definitely sent a real picture. Can easily spot the fake ones.
And can't get over how he just sent the same picture again after I turned him down on his other profile.

Ouch! You send your pic first? Double ouch. erm, can I send you my account details. I am held to ransom and need a few hundred. I am a real prince.
And he is the same guy? Biiiig treble ouch! Is pathetic a word to use here or will it offend? I mean the word been offended, for underusage. Every nut from the nut tree, and then some. We learn from mistakes. It gets better, really. Now, can I have a pic of you? Full body and face and naked please? Nooo I am no picture collector no!


Pringles0510 replies on 3/31/2017 11:58 am:
Pathetic sums him up nicely.
You have your mug shot as main profile picture. Nobody ever give you hassle?
