Does this sound like someone we know?

[pat grimshaw]

…I have two accounts so the postcount higher than 7000 posts. The other account is for posting cropped pictures of my fuck-buddy.

who? where?

 

[justaguy]

Do you mind? I'm trying to have a snog here!

What do you mean trying? You seem to be making a pretty good success of it.

 

[justaguy]

Same here. Post pics of other guys by all means, but don't say it's you. That's just pathetic, and I can't see the point in it. I'm here for real, normal people.

Oh crap! I feel like a bit of a wanker after posting that for some reason. It's a touchy subject because I befriended someone on here once who turned out to be a fake identity.

^ and he didn't even post any pictures (and he's no longer a member of JUB).

>>>Amazing how people will excuse pathetic behavior because it's "just fantasyland."

Well, from the gargoyle to a Whammy, I don't know if I'm "excusing" it. I certainly understand it. I liked using Lex as an avatar (and occasionally a nom de plume) simply because the forum gives me the opportunity to. And maybe it's different for me and thee because people presumably know that's what's going on. That I'm not really a gargoyle, and you're not really a game show mascot. I've run into a couple people online that refuse to deal with me simply because I don't use my face as an avatar, and although I find that rule rather arbitrary (especially since it's posted plenty of other places), that's their call.

What's my opinion of somebody who uses somebody else's pics and claims that they're theirs? "Pathetic" is perhaps the right term, but a bit on the strong side. I've run into a few, and in each case, I mainly felt sorry for them. I always assumed it meant they were horribly self-conscious, and felt the only way anybody would ever deal with them is if somebody thought they were attractive. So they posted the hot pics, which pretty much proved their hypothesis - people DID like them once they were attractive. But then they were stuck in the lie. They knew revealing the deception would be the end of the attention, so they did their best to keep the balls in the air. And, inevitably, they're found out. It's sad and depressing, but I don't feel the need to pile on, because they get plenty of that from other people. My main thought isn't that they should be punished for doing it - it's more that they should be made to feel that there's no need to do it. That there are people online who will like them whatever they look like. But I have a feeling that they may be unreachable.

i've been around long enough to have been burned several times by people saying and claiming to be something they were not.

back in the day i was offended. nowadays i take it all with a grain of salt.

and to the op.. seriously? nancy drew? you're more like a hot hardy boy if you ask me.

 

[justaguy]

An average looking genuine guy is worth a thousand handsome fakes in my book. In fact very often an average, or what they themselves might perceive as ugly, guy is worth more than one handsome one. PC sounding perhaps, but true, in my book. In many cases a hot guy is actually a turnoff for a lot of others because they feel they're out of their own league.

 

[belamyi]

I've mentioned this previously in similar discussions, last year someone discovered a guy on Adam4Adam with my pics claiming it was him. I thought it was pretty creepy and so therefor the whole topic really pisses me off nowadays, and for that i'm a know-better, holier-than-thou - whatever who has no life?
Jesus...

Haha, yes you had a terrrrrible experience with identity-snatchers and that forces and allows you to behave like Vigilante Mary in search of all the lying supervillain of the net.
You seem to have even more energy to meddle in every Quixotian cybercause than I have.

>>>Will people who are intelligent, engaging, and witty get their own share of attention from people who enjoy interacting with them? Definitely.

True enough. Those people also get their share of positive attention. That said:

* It usually takes a fair amount of time and posting to stake out the witty/smart/engaging turf, at least as compared to the hot guy route.

* I'm betting a good chunk of them aren't interested in the intellectual or humorous route. Chances are they're looking for attention from other hot guys, and, rightly or wrongly, they feel the best way to command that attention is to be one of them.

* To be brutally honest (and to paint with a broad brush), I'm guessing such people who would use a fake picture are most likely somewhat socially inept. To wit, they simply aren't very funny or engaging. And if they're intelligent, they're likely socially inept, and thus have trouble interacting socially in any event. And being socially engaging or funny or intelligent aren't things that are easily faked. At least compared tomfinding a hot pic online and posting it as your own.

Nicer, honest, wholesome, good-looking guys are not likely to waste their time chackety-chatting on the net.
"End of"

I think you're missing the point. If you are going to show someone else's pics and say it's you then you are not being real in the first place. It's just the way I see it. I'm not going to change my mind about it. I feel strongly about it.

You haven't met Jubbers in person. Have you?

Are you saying you have double accounts?

No, I have not met anyone from JUB in real life. I don't know if the fact that I am living 6000 plus miles away -- that's either 3 continents away or a giant ass ocean that they call the pacific -- away from all of you is big factor or not.

There some Jubbers that visited Singapore and I declined to meet. Unclean was one of them and it was because I broke up with someone I thought I love at that time and frankly I wasn't in the mood.

You have I'm sure. So congrats because you will never know how much it pains me that I can't meet GL, Martin6, Abs, Stacy, Kevbo, Lolito, Rareboy, sixthson, Lex, Knuckle, Alfa, Hard Up and so many more without selling a kidney for airfare and hotel stay.

Frankly, I don't give two shits whether these people are "real" or not.

No, I think it's atleast four accounts and one of the accounts is very much in love with you. That account is created to basically experiment what is it like to have low standards.

 

[Ram]

Nice.

When it comes to "realness", maybe you are still struggling with trying to figure out your definition of what it means to you rolleyes, but if I ever show up at your door claiming to be U.S. president Barack Obama, I bet you would have a pretty clear idea of your perception of what is real and what isn't.

You didn't get that? You are lucky you're pretty...

Barack Obama is an exceedingly good-looking fellow with class and intelligent so if you showed at my door step, I think I can tell the difference.

Like I have said, you are confusing physical realness with my version of realness. You don't like when people post untrue pictures of themselves, I get that. Does it bother me -- no. Because frankly, it's something I would do to get attention -- if I had incredibly low self esteem.

Sometimes I like to pretend to live in a world, a world that I am prefect, and that my life is beautiful and that there are beautiful people around me. You must understand one thing: not everyone here is as good-looking or as confident as your are. The internet is prefect for my fantasyworld. I am not signing on for you or you or any of you. I don't owe you my honesty. This is for me. Why? Because I don't take the internet seriously, it is not a venue to replace the social life I have. If you think people should log on and behavior morally and really and uprightly, practically half the internet will collapse (Christians site first of course.)

I could have easily posted a picture of a naked furry-less college white guy with past girlfriends and a desire to top someone and said that was me and hoped I won't encounter a bearded Nancy Drew like yourself. I didn't because I realize some people here thought I was funny. I had something to contribute. People thought I was mildly intelligent. So I post instead. I don't lie about my life because apparently, when you share how fucked up it is you realize you are not alone and something can be done about it. I am just sad that whatever I am feeling right now it is not being felt by the other person who thought it would be cool to have pictures not of himself.

You can't accept that. Good for you. Carry on being real, you real person you. I can't accept it either but I understand and I just don't care when people do it.

Since you brought my post count in an earlier post as some form of acquired "experience", let then give you a word of advice: if you are going to post a thread and ask for opinions, we are going to give you our opinions whether you like or not. Amongst the good ones like Lex, there will be cunts like me who are not going to be "fuzzy" about it. You can't accept that, then do yourself a favor and go back to posting real pictures of yourself because clearly to me that's the only thing you and your newly established friends are good at right now.

Never at one point in my first post I tell you to get a life. I don't hate nor do I dislike you. I'm direct (too much at times) and honest with my feelings and I do have the high horse mentality so I am sorry for what I may said in my post. My first post.

I see a guy like this:

And I'm willing to bet that somewhere out there, there's somebody that's sick and tired of his shit.

Whatever that shit might be.

I'm just saying.

 

[Centexfarmer]

I really need to interject and give my opinion on this matter.

First you might try buttoning up your coat, this is Hot Topics after all.

Welcome back, I was afraid that you were gone for good.

 

[G-Lexington]

>>>And I'm willing to bet that somewhere out there, there's somebody that's sick and tired of his shit.

And I'm willing to triple your bet that there's a long line of guys ready to replace that somebody, positive that getting a shot at that body is worth any amount of shit he might come with. I don't think I'd be in that line, but the line would exist - guaranteed.

[belamyi]

Wow, you're really taking this very personal aren't you?
I see shit like that on this site daily, on this particular occasion I thought it was funny because I had just seen the original picture on another site, and I inquired about it.
It's not something that I have done before, but if just reading about it forces and allows you to behave like a complete dickhead in defense of all internet trolls everywhere then that probably says more about your online activities.

It says more than enough about YOU that you feel that attacking you means defending the trolls you meet in your life.

 

[Ram]

I'm going to ignore all the attempts at insults in your post that you so self-righteously tried to pass off as you just being your "direct" self, and say that if you think of me as someone who is confident or thinks of himself as good looking then you are completely mistaken.
I've never been comfortable with the way I look, but I post pictures anyway because I'm a self-admitted exhibitionist, which in a way is also a little pathetic.

I know when I am being direct and when I am insulting you. I was doing both.

Nah, you are good-looking person. As much as we disagree and possibly not really like each other from now onwards, you have a nice ass (and I am nice ass). It's not pathetic. It's difficult for me to maintain a beard and look good. So well done.
