Why are there so many untrustworthy people over the internet?

[Anonymous]

on dating apps, people schedule dates but never show up and never cared to cancel. I met someone on craigslist who said he wanted to make friends and we scheduled for a call tonight but he never ended up calling. I just don't get it. Why do people make plans then just not follow through WITHOUT canceling? if I were not to show up, I will always keep the person updated. Its unbelievable how so many people are this way.

Sadly , because most people in general are selfish assholes that only really care about themselves that get off on pretending to be someone they aren’t, that get off on screwing with other people’s hearts and emotions , I am not saying everyone on the internet is an asshole, but sadly a majority of people are , look at all the catfishes and scams on the internet. Why it’s best to get to know someone really well before even considering or attempting to meet them in person. Sadly a lot of people have a hard time being honest on the internet , mainly because they are hiding behind their own insecurities and fears or hiding behind their own lies. Me personally will not meet someone off the internet until we prove to each other that we are legit and not playing games, if someone is really interested in you , that person isn’t going to hesitate to video chat you or make excuses not to show themselves to you, if they are really interested in you , so if someone can not prove to you who they say they are , don’t waste anymore of your time with them , they are probably trying to scam you or they just get off on pretending to be someone they aren’t and trying to get a ride out of you. Delete them block them or ignore them. I have talked to multiple girls on the internet that showed interest in me , I don’t fall for any of it until she can prove she is really who she says she is to me , if not oh well I am not going to waste anymore of my time with her and will
Consider her a fake or a scam

They've ALWAYS been lurking in dark corners alone. Now, they gather on the internet!

Thank you for MHG!

Because people only bothering to make moves on social media do not value humans as much as people that take automatic steps to meet and be in someone’s real life presence.

The Internet gives this feeling of anonymity. So people don't care. No one will scold them if they behave this way.

[Anonymous]

Because the internet is not real. We're all playing roles. You can be whatever you want to be when talking to me. And tomorrow you can assume a completely different persona. The internet has no conscious. So you can destroy a person one moment then go on with your life like nothing happened the next.

I advise ANY guy that uses a dating app to take anything a woman says on them with a grain of salt. And chase anything you do with them with a shot of penicilin.🤣

The REALITY is she can be ANYONE. She can be a 300lb. Guy living in his mom's basement in Detroit.

I've never agreed to meet a woman then not show up. But I'm ALWAYS prepared for her to not. It wouldn't even disappoint me as I expect it. I ALWAYS keep my expectations low and therefore am NEVER disappointed.

[Asker]

there's been men who agreed to meet up but never showed up.
you need to stop villainizing women and realize that anyone can be this way, male or female

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not villanizing anyone. I'm popping g str8 facts. Sorry you take offense to this. But what you take offense to does not alter reality. 🙂

[Asker]

you don't even present reality

[Opinion Owner]

Look hun you asked the question. I didn't come to you looking for answers. I'm sorry you don't like hearing there's no Santa Claus. But pretending like there is does not alter reality. Take responsibility for your gender. If you don't want to that then just shut up. I never said men were innocent. But you asked why people are so untrustworthy. This is your answer it's not going to change and it doesn't get better by pretending it's something else. You can continue pretend if you like but my answer isn't going to change.

[Asker]

you're just here to villainize women.

[Opinion Owner]

No that's just the way you choose to see it. I don't date men some I'm less concerned about what men do is all. If I was just hear to villainous women I'd say that men are angels and never do anything wrong, duh.

[Asker]

@opinion owner

men use women for sex way more than women use men for free meals

[Opinion Owner]

Only if the woman is simply too dumb to realize that man is only in it for sex. I don't have any sympathy for a man who gets used for a free meal.

[exitseven]

The internet is like the wild west. There are millions of people and a lot of them are anonymous scam artists trying to separate you from your money. Then there are the people you meet on social media. They post pix of themselves the found on the internet because they are really 300 pound guys with man buns.

[FunkyMonkee]

Easy access! They're all still there but, because they're online, it's much easier to find them.

[Asker]

yea it seems like the worst people are online.

[FunkyMonkee]

Certainly not everyone is. I'm proof of that!

[Asker]

I've been online for 7 years. 95% of the people online are untrustworthy. it just seems like the internet attracts the worst.

[FunkyMonkee]

I've been online for over 25 years and I've only met a couple dozen untrustworthy people.

[Asker]

you must've been lucky. Almost everyone i've ever met have been indecent.

[FunkyMonkee]

I guess you just have to know what top look for and what to avoid.

[Asker]

People in real life tend to be way better humans

[FunkyMonkee]

But, I'm here. People in real life are also known to be assholes. I should know, I've got several of them in my own family!! Thankfully, 2 of them are dead! That now leaves 6 or 7.

[Asker]

yea but more of them online than in real life.

[FunkyMonkee]

Again, that's because you have access to way more online than in your daily personal life. Unless they came up and told you they were scammers, you might never know. You probably see several every day and don't even know it. Maybe it's the guy sitting near the front of the bus, maybe it's the woman behind you in line at the store, maybe it's the guy in the denim jacket that just walked past you a minute ago.

[Asker]

No , I have met people from work, school. Meeting people from real life gave me a much better experience than online.

From my experience, only people who can't ever find anyone in real life tend to go on the internet meaning they're usually society's rejects, evil people, people without manners / social skills, personality issues.

The internet is an easy place for people to find prey to unleash their sick desires on. Things that are not socially accepted in large part of society is usually found over the internet. Things like BDSM, players looking for sex, scammers, old grandpas looking to date 18 yr old girls, pedophiles, married men looking for a side chick.

You're much less likely to meet a scammer in real life because its easier for scammers to scam over the internet rather than in person.

It is much easier for a married man to go online to find a side chick than for him to leave his house to find one.

It is much easier for a player to find his "prey" online than searching for it at his local fitness gym.

This is why the internet has much more sick people than in real life

[Asker]

@funkymonkee

[Asker]

Things that are not socially accepted in large part of society is usually found over the internet. Because if such things were talked about or done in real life, they would be socially shunned. Social circles will ostracize them. So they take it to online where they get to hide away with their sick fantasies and desires.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, you're much less likely to MEET THEM in person but, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

[Asker]

@funkymonkee

I never said they don't exist. Bad people exist in every corner of the world. But they certainly are more common over the internet.

[JackStany]

You're absolutely right, but I think you shouldn't meet without getting to know each other well enough. This way, your meetings can be more genuine.

[Asker]

Not even talking about meeting up. Its just that people are so discourteous nowadays.

[JackStany]

Where do you live? Which city?

[Asker]

New york city

[JackStany]

Ohh... I understand.

[Asker]

yea... people here really aren't nice. im thinking about leaving

[JackStany]

Yes. You're a good person; I hope you won't be sad anymore there 💎

[Asker]

i don't think i can ever be with someone who is a "no show" on dates or someone who is discourteous

[JackStany]

My English is not very good, so I read it twice and understand. I apologize for responding late. I really don't think he would be that kind of person. And do yourself a favor by staying away from such people.

[JackStany]

Did you sleep?

[Asker]

no i didn't

[ChicoFromThe305]

People just don't take things seriously nowadays I guess

[slatyb]

Anonymity attracts assholes.

[ItsBodieBrah]

Because half of them are sex offenders and pedos

[jahaims]

Most people are untrustworthy

[Joker_]

I trust @worth to plumb my pipes

[B5567]

Because the internet is fake

[Sunnybeach123]

Selfish.
