I am an admin on another site where we've had 2 users get married. And it was a disaster. On the same site, we had a "woman" who left a trail of broken hearts before anyone figured out she was a man. He'd been using pics of his ex-girlfriend as himself, and just playing with all the men on the site for fun.
Maybe I'm just too paranoid. :shrugs:

My experience has been that people that you meet online, if you talk to them long enough, tend to be exactly who they say they are. There are very few people who can hide their true selves for long when talking to the same person/people for a long period of time.
I have met quite a few people that I had only known online and everyone, except for one, were exactly the people I thought they would be, in a way it was a little let down
The one person that I met that wasn't exactly who he claimed to be was a guy that was very good at keeping his story straight, all that tripped him up was his family, who were very nice people, but he was very insecure in a way I think. But all in all people tend to be themselves when they are on the net, especially in a forum like this, in the naughty forums I guess you really would have to be more careful
