I hope I am not beating this issue to death, and my intention is not to annoy or bother anyone. With that said, I am still perplexed and don't understand why men need to hide behind the picture, personality and fake profile of a beautiful woman? Is it the deceit that is the excitement, that they are fooling some poor guy or innocent woman to believe that they are this hot, sexy woman? Is it that they can explore a side of themselves that they can't show the real world? If they are gay men, wouldn't a gay chat board be more exciting and meaningful? You don't have to come out of the closet, and you can still be your TRUE self, isn't that better? Why the false pretense? Can't you say you are a man, and still explore the fantasy that way? Is the thrill in the lie, or is it in the acting out? What is the true essence of this? It fascinates me that this has to happen. I so want people to be straight up, be who they are, say and do what they mean! Not be liars, cheats, fake, but have enough self respect to be real! I am what I am, a real dude, with many faults and weaknesses, yet, I am strong enough, and man enough to be REAL!!!! What is the reason this happens, what is at the heart of this, please share your thoughtful views, and feelings on this sensitive but important topic!
