Someones profile on messenger?

I took a peek earlier at someone that I've known for close a year now.. just out of curiousity.

This person had told me that they were 42 but on their profile it gives their age as 38.

He also had told myself and many others that know him, that he was single and had been for 4 years. But yet on his profile it says he's in a long term committed relationship.

Oh and his occupation.. big shock to discover that to was different from what he'd said.

If you're going to scam people wouldn't it be "smart" to at least make sure you've changed everything to match all of your stories? :rolleyes:
 
It's very surprising to me how many stupid people there are on the net. If they're that stupid, which they obviously are, how the hell do they manage to operate a computer?
 
I sometimes forget to update my profiles, but not to THAT extent! Shees!

One thin it could be , the person may be oblivious to the fact taht you can update your profile, other than during creation. It could be 4 years old.

I think it says when it was last updated right in the profile.


It does.

One of the first things I looked for after I read it.. I didn't want to get pissed over a simple mistake.

He hadn't changed anything since June of 2002. One year in his age, not enough time to have aged 4 years. Or to match up with any of the other lies he fed us all.

I'm so pissed... I can't remember being this angry at some doofus from the net in ages.

I used to check profiles in yahoo chat but I spend to much time here to even go to yahoo chat anymore. I guess that since already know the people I usually talk with via messenger(mostly relatives,friends & co-workers)I haven't looked at their profiles.
 
I rarely look at someone's profile. But, out of curiousity, I have looked at a few.

You are quite the detective.......;)
 
I almost never check, but I almost never use any of the messenger programs anymore, anyway.


As for the guy, ask him about it. It might just be that he's... there really isn't a good way to look at it, is there? :p

Come on over, and I'll comfort you. We can braid each other's hair, do our nails, and watch scary movies. :D

That's a window that would be fun to peek in!

I'm a chick. We tend to check into things. ;-)





Nah I don't think it's a good idea that we speak right now Gilly. I fear for him at this point.. I don't often get riled up but when I do.. well I am southern. :)

Right now I'm trying to decide how to play this out. A part of me wants to call his cellie up right now and shout. Then there's a part of me that wants to watch for when he's online.. to check his profile often to see when he's at MSN chat. A site that I don't chat at btw.. we met him at another.

Thing is I'm so honest about who I am.. I don't see the reason to lie. I don't have the time or inclination to be anyone else but me. So when I become friends with someone, I extend my friendship to them.. my time and heart towards them and then find out that pretty much every gd thing they've ever said was a lie. Grr

So now I'm going to be checking everyone's profiles. All this has served to do is make me even more leary about being friends with people from the net and that is what makes me the maddest.


I accept your offer of a braid job.. the one I did 30 min ago lookes like shite. :kiss:
 
I talk to only 2 people these days on Yahoo
But if a new name pops up, I always look at the profile
But it is upsetting if you feel someone hasn't been truthful with you
Why not just ask what the deal is?
His profile is public record.

I don't use messenger, it always seemed to intrusive, i hate things that want to own the pc, I prefer icq but, it appears growing numbers of people have abandonded that for yahoo or msn.........??

It isn't that I feel as though someone hasn't been truthful with me.. it's that they haven't.

Everything in his profile is different from everything he'd ever said. Honestly I don't see how anyone can explain away the age difference, the relationship part, even his occupation. He never mentioned that he had "medical" in his occupational background and that isn't something that you leave out. Not in all the conversations we'd had.

The only reason I happened to look at it was we hadn't seen him for a month. I was getting ready to send him a card because I was worried about him.. if not for that I may never have checked it.

I just checked Lance's profile on messenger...seems I'm 36, single and live in the British Ocean Territories, whereas Lit Lance is 44 I think, divorced and has a young wealthy stunning trophy wife named Tiffany who doesn't mind me giving the grrls here damp panties as long as I share anyone I bring home.

i'm still waiting for a damp panty moment from you, lance.
 
I always look at people's profiles here, but must admit I never have on any instant messenger. I don't even know if I filled one out for myself. I better find out who it is people think I might be.
 
I find it alarming that some of these lies seem like that are just for the sake of lying. I mean, does his age and occupation really matter? But by lying about those things he's lost your trust. I don't get it.

Exactly...it makes you wonder what you'll find out next...
 
I check profiles quite often. It's always nice to have that information to act as a check on what i'm being told. Amazing how many people need Cheyenne's advice to use a spread sheet to keep track of their personas.
