HONEY TRAP!

I've been talking to my on-line man for about 4 months and we were getting on really well, he lives 100 miles from me and we were planning a weekend together in a couple of weeks. However, I set a 'honey trap' for him on the website where we met to see if he is an internet 'preditor', I advertised myself with an alias name offering to meet up with guy for adult fun 3 weeks ago and last night he emailed me with a picture and saying to email him if I wanted to take it further. I did email him with a Goodbye message! But I feel really upset as he managed to convince me that I could trust him completely and that he would never cheat... are all men serial liars?

No. All men are not serial liars. The group encompassed by "all men" is just as diverse as the group encompassed by the term "all women."

But the odds of hitting serial liars/cheaters are a hell of a lot higher when you're dealing with men who are skilled at attracting women.

Wow, that sounds similar to what just happened to. I set up something very similar and sure enough not even 12 hours later I got an e-mail from wanting to chat....don't feel too bad....your obviously not the only one this happenens too. Maybe we should all form an offical group or something, lol just kidding, but yeah, apparently is it a common theme.

Well, what can I say ... it happened to me too. The difference is that I actually met the guy and we started a relationship. This lasted 4 months, until I confronted him about still checking in on the site. What we had seemed perfect. Guess what, I set the same trap and of course the pic I used was of a gorgeous woman not looking for commitment. The general response from men was overwhelming! I had 200 fans in 2 days. All the guys were literally throwing themselves at me. The internet dating thing is the latest invention in relationship wrecking. I promised myself that I would not get involved in this kind of mingling again. My advise: Stay away from him, he is probably lining up the woman, and he gets along with all of them, he has no saturation point. He will only hurt you eventually. Wish I could tell you of a better experience I had.

Good luck, at least know you are not alone.

hey,

How do you know he would have went through with it? sending an anonomous picture of your self to some random girl on the net doesnt amount to cheating does it??

Was it not some harmless (maybe not harmless i guess!) flirting??

and "internet preditor" how about "obsessive untrusting girlfriend?"

you've been seeing him for 4 whole months and live 100 miles apart, it not exactly serious yet.

sorry for the hard line reply...just whats the point in relationships without trust and trusting?

No not all men are cowards and total bastards. You are very clever to catch him out but you must have had your suspicions or have little trust in the first place to set the trap. Be just thankful totally that you evaded this man.

Well done!

jmac1344 agony auntno, but you can't blame a guy if occasionally temptation gets the best of him.

DV1 agony auntAll men aren't like this. Some of us just want a one night stand, and others want what I want. I want "the whole 2 and a half, with the picket fence and the German shephard".

Royofthe Rovers agony auntNo there not.

The internet serves as a way for men and women to appear almost invisible and they can use this to do things they normally wouldnt do in normal reality.

It can serve as an alais for that person, for them to express themselves differently and to also do things which would normally go against the grain.

You picked a bad seed, and there are people out there who abuse the internet in ways to which it was not originally intended. these people are usually scared and cowardly individuals who hide behind a name on a screen.

This is the trouble with internet relationships, its easy to lie as you dont have to face them eye to eye and this is an advantage to the people who thrive on living a lie.

Most people are not like this and use the internet properly to find help and maybe even a friend.
