I have no idea, but there are good guys out there. Have faith!
Years ago I woud have agreed with you but now... I think men and women now lie equally or just don't care. Just an observation but doesn't seem to me lately that alot of younger men and women take their marriage vows seriously. Seems to me there is just too much "not so innocent" flirting going around. No wonder the divorce rate is so high!
I have found some men will talk about their lives as if they are single. I'll ask then if they are married and they will then repond, "Oh yeah, I am..." Don't be afraid to ask anymore especially if looking for love "online". I would bet alot of married folks troll for "love" online.
Bottom line, I have learned to live my life without yearning for a man (but then again I'm old so have given up!). Makes things easier, more interesting. Someday if its meant to happen, it will. Be patient.
I have a couple of women friends that put their wedding rings on their right hand and turn the diamond around when they go out to clubs. They only do this 2 or 3 times a year. I was shocked to learn this when I went with them one time. From my observation, they wanted to get as many guys to hit on them as possible so they could go home and make their husbands jealous. It seemed like playing with fire to me.
Anyway, I would say it's 50-50 across the board.
Oh, definitely playing with fire. A girlfriend of mine used to do that; 'till hubby checked up on her. The divorce will be final in a few months.Quote:

I've seen plenty of this low self-esteem driven behavior from both genders.
The anonymity of the internet makes it all the easier to lie about being married (or involved) when communicating with others.
I think this problem however has been going on for centuries. Some people are sincere and honest and some just aren't and never will be. Deception and honesty are not gender based.
that's so true!!!!!Quote:

Of course, you can always google for a marriage license.....there are some advantages to the internet.
I have run into a few people that are married who claimed they were divorced. Or separated but looking. Be careful but don't be bitter by a few peoples poor judgement. Best of luck!
It's interesting a few years back I went through the online dating thing... of course I ran into those guys that fibbed about their marital status but what really amazed me is that going though the men, some honestly stated they were married... what???? If you are married why are you posting on with an online dating service? Although cheating has been going on for a long time (my x cheated on me leading to divorce back that was in 1979) I think it's gotten so much worse recently, within the last 10 years. People just don't take marriage seriously anymore. I have overheard young owmen talk about the fact that they are involved in their first marriage and next time around...
I don't know I'm upfront and honest to a fault. I assume everyone else is as well and am always burned...
10/10 for that !!!!Quote:

=sigh= I forgot what it's like to get a good night's rest.
Because of my current back injury, I've been given Vicodin... I can see why folks get hooked on this stuff. Last two nights I've actually gotten some rest; at least 6 hours sleep - Whoo Hoo! But I can't take this stuff forever (can I?).
