The perils of online dating

Now I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking that Online dating is fine so long as you don't actually go out to meet the individual. But suppose as you're getting to know the individual in question you find yourself really falling for that individual. You exchange pictures with that person and then find yourself really falling for that person. So you set up a meeting. The problem is that the photographs turn out to be fakes.

That, however, is not the worst part. Clicky (http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/features/technology/60810)

1) Is this what you would imagine to be the worst possible case scenario given the situation? If not tell us what you imagined would be the worst possible case scenario.

2) Do you believe that cybersex with a family member is still considered incest? What if you never found out that they were a family member? What if you had regular sex with somebody who turned out to be a family member you never knew about?

3) How would you react if you were in this guy's shoes?

4) Any other comments?

Hahahahahahahaha! Oh, man, talk about embarassing! How much did the paper have to pay this guy to go public with a story like that?

Cybersex isn't sex. I don't think it's incest, though it's about as embarassing as it gets.

I met my wife on the internet. We talked in a chat room for about two years before we ever met in person, and we never sent each other photos before we met. It all turned out a lot better for me than for this guy, obviously. :)

...Because the Weekly World News is an established source of distinguished truthful reporting. I recommend the Adventures of Bat Boy section. The regular papers won't tell you these stories!

omg i so hope glitziness isn't my mum :p

or a 50 year old bloke for that matter :eek:
naaaah....


but a friend of mine got to know this chick called Barry (yeah, good girl's name:rolleyes: ) on a chatroom for a few months, went up to meet her over a weekend and the photos she's sent him (where she was a 6ft blonde DD bimbo) turned out to be a little fake... well, a lot fake. "gothic walrus" is the only description we've ever managed to get out of him :p
tho some good did come of it in that he stopped being quite so shallow after that :p

My now-wife told me that she was a 5'2" curvaceous belly dancer/anthropologist with long, curly black hair who wore glasses around the house. Turned out she was telling the truth. :)

Just lucky, I guess.

My girlfriend said she lived in Canberra originally. Apparently, she lived only a half -hour drive away instead. She didn't say what she looked like, though. I distinctly can recall her saying:

"If you want to date a good-looking woman, then perhaps masturbating to internet porn is better."

She did look pretty though, so I'm not too worried when a woman says that...

The police blotter is public domain. Ergo, he most likely didn't get a dime.

"Lucky?" You give luck an entirely new meaning! :D

Ah jeez. If the story is true, we ought to take up a collection for the poor slob. Not just because I feel bad for him, but for the momentary entertainment he's provided for us all...
