Why is it so difficult to find someone honest and real online?
The perception is blurred because we're interacting via a screen. I think this disconnects us from the human contact that people crave online. Yes, you're a real human being but to someone else... you're a profile that types and until you see that Same person in person or via video conference the illusion still stands. Or at least I guess.. so they misbehave and act differently than their real life personalities. Also, the internet gives a sense of security and anonymity.. it gives people the chance to be whatever they want to be, unfortunately, it's not as the same as their real life personalities sometimes.

Some people online especially lie about who they are and how great they are too. It’s kind of like a fake advertisement, or that one meme what we ordered vs what we got haha. However not everyone online is like that, i certainly meet some people like that. But I was lucky enough to meet a genuine, sweet, and honest guy from a dating app we’ve been dating for almost a year now.
I do not think anybody is truly themselves on the internet - It ranges from people wanting to put the best version of themselves forward to for whatever reason people completely reinvent themselves.
Making that assumption is very liberating and you develop a fake maybe a BS detector so you have that on then you talk to a lot of people - Pick out the ones that interest you or seem less fake - Talk to them , maybe develop a few online friendships - Over time the true person usually comes true for better or worse of your continuing friendship

Everyone wants to be better than they are. This is not just an online thing. Whenever you go on a first date, everyone wants to make a good impression and sometimes exaggerate. Unfortunately in social media people can lie about themselves and even post a doctored picture of themselves.

Because it's so easy for people to be fake. I used to be fake and it became subconscious but I've finally unfucked it by now. In a strange way, it's refreshing to hear a pretty girl actually shedding light on a legitimate issue rather than just saying that decent men don't exist or that it's super easy. The best thing I can say is this, if it feels fake, it is, if it feels real, it is as well. Bring knowledge of what they do forwards and don't let your heart or your mind take full control as too strong skepticism can insult and push away a good mate, and too much heart will conceal the obvious giveaways that they're fake as shit.

Because social media makes people feel like crap because they aren't having adventures or dating attractive people or have the nicest stuff so they think they need to have all that stuff to be wanted. Also I think the internet is dumbing out species down and is making us more self centered.

It is hard to find someone honest and real in real life as well, and whenever I hear someone asked "Why is it so hard to find someone honest and real or true love, a good guy etc" kinda question. The asker is usually the fake one. I'm not talking about you tho but happened to 2 of my ex colleagues.

Anonimity. Most people think that they can't be found out bullshitting in all possible directions and anyway, other people can't really point their fingers at anything but a username. Creating a faux reality to make yourself feel better is a prerogative of humanity. One that make us little and pathetic, though.
The internet made it even stronger. - 497 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic.
I don't think it's everyone, but some people are afraid that the real them will be disliked, so they lie about themselves, which is honestly pretty dumb because eventually anyone who actually needs to be impressed will see the real you, and then that lie will be of no use now won't it?

People are in mature and have a hard time getting to know themselves and be honest with themselves so instead of doing the hard work to truly know and better yourself they rather pretend to be a version of themselves they think is cool or better or whatever for use the internet as a platform to tear other people down in order to avoid their own issues

I'm pretty honest. I'm single, 61 years old, overweight, going bald, unemployed, hairy body and I have a small penis. The lack of honesty that you encounter is due to the fact that the above stats usually don't get much positive attention.

I don't understand it either. I guess since it is so easy to pretend online and so hard for the other person to know for sure and most people want to believe that others are honest. So I guess it makes it easy to try and get over on others. But why would anyone want to do that? They have to know the truth will come out anyway...
I am who I am, I do not pretend to be anything different. I would love to chat if you like? -
Because good first impressions are important. Is a text message as impressive as meeting a woman in real life? We all know the answer. Could it be that your expectations are too high since people hide behind their keyboards?

Get to know people irl instead of online. Build better relationships with them.
Some people don't have the confidence and have social anxiety. Like when there's an argument, so much to say online but could never say it to your face. - 556 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic.
Cause nearly everyone lies on the internet lol just don't date online and try to meet someone in the real world

I don't really think online relationships are the future. We need more tangible relationships in real life.
I kind of miss the people I used to speak online to, though. -
Most people don't like themselves. While online, they can pretend to be anyone in the world and it's hard to prove otherwise. However, there are some genuine people out there but they are rare.

Some people may disagree and dont like my comment, but we people generally dont take the internet seriously. So we do here what we dont in real life.
In real life , i mean not on internet, im a good boy, no person would guess how i behave on internet.
But on internet, im really like a pervert...
In real life i keep myself for marriage so i dont do perverted stuff, but on internet i do naughty things:(
I dont support what i do, i try to change. For this, i try not to use this site or any other chat site. Because when im on here, i do it
So i should delete it if i want to focus on my life, instead of being pervert -
Every people have 3 sides one who actually is,
One for close one and one for public.
Social media is place where he want to explore things which he might not otherwise. So they do in other name or anonymous. -
I'm real and everyone knows it...
A lot of people do pretend because the net have no boundaries but i just like to be myself everywhere...
Aren't you the girl who had an online brawl with another female gag member? -
I think it's because the online world itself isn't entirely honest and real. There's a lot of bullshit on the internet. A lot. So it only makes sense that this type of medium would invite pretenders and fakers.

Define "online". Dating apps? Forums like GaG? Reddit? Social media sites? Different platforms attract different types of people with different agendas.

Free dating sites are a magnet for socially inept men. Just ignore them and respond only to the ones that interest you.
