This is why lpsg meetups are a bad idea

that's fucking insane.

That was kind of depressing.

Man, that's a bad one.

what a mindfuck.

Agreed.

Wow,

It isnt so unbelievable. We have had more than a couple of near misses here.This is a cautionary tale for all of us. The net may seem like fantasy island but there are real people behind the screens typing on the keypads. LPSG meet ups are not the problem. It was in this case all of the conversation and deception that led to that point. SO often people want to reinvent themselves online hoping they will have better cyber luck than they do in real life. But when real people are involved lying can have some serious consequences. Isnt it fascinating that both Montgomery and Mary/Jessie were middle aged adults trying to reinvent themselves?

That being said I think that there are ways in which meetings can go well. I have met two LPSG members at this point and I had nothing but positive experiences. But then they pretty much knew what to expect.

That's crazy. Really fucking crazy.


I'm 18, I swear, and I've never claimed to be a marine! But I know what's mine, as you know what is yours.

Yes, it probably was all of the above....

Damn!

I've been extremely lucky. Everyone I met at the Thunder's meet were great and exactly what I expected. The only other people I met were friends from another chat room but I had known them for 8 years before meeting them in person and then only in public at first.

Just have to be careful whether you meet someone online or in real life. I stick by the maxim, "Extraodinary claims require extraordinary proof."

That'd make a GREAT SVU episode. Betcha plenty they do it too.

This kind of thing happens when people ignore their instincts, I've seen it so many times on the net, all the signs can be there and people suspend disbelief because they want to go on having a good time. If we use the same rules on the net as we use in real life meeting on the net can be as good a way as any to meet.

Absolutely right. If your spidey sense is tingling there's likely a web of deceit.
