why do some people hit on others online when they really can't see what they look like anyways?

I don't really want to them, because people ask you what you think ot their pic and I never really know what to say! I don't really need to know what people look like to be able to chat to them, but other people always ask for pics so I guess they do! I mean what they look like doesn't make what they are saying any different!

When chatting with someone online you have no idea who they are. You just have to be careful.\n\nK

hahaha i've wondered that myself.... I think most of them are just pictures they found....since some people feel more liberated online then they do in the real world... the ones that yahoo lets you create are more closest to what we look like...you know... my avatar is close to me...except I'm not constantly smiling...

Finding someone interesting is possible, but a crush or liking someone, no not for me. I am a social being like most humans should be. I need actual face time. I'm only online to assist people with their questions. I don't use the net to meet people. You never know who you're dealing with and what their alterior motives are. Be safe not sorry.

Personally I think meeting people in places like chat rooms is riskier than other ways of meeting online. Chat rooms tend to be an environment where you can lie easily. Other places, like a hobby forum, would encourage more truthful communication.\n\nI have met a wonderful friend online - we only met because I contacted him via his website and we started talking. Perhaps I was lucky in finding an honest person...\n\nBut yes, if they are hesitant in sending you a photo of themselves... no, make that more than 1 photo of themselves, I'd be skeptical of their truthfulness. Cos its easy enough to find 1 pic of a nice looking person - it is more difficult in finding more than 1 pic of the same person. So, if they don't want to send you more than 1 photo of themselves I'd ditch them as an online friend.\n\nHiding behind a computer is an easy way to hide who you really are. I would be careful in trusting people you meet online. \n\nIt took me over 6 months to trust my friend, to realise that he is a decent person. Do I love him? As a friend, definitely... anything more? I don't know. I've met him several times over the years and we both know that we have a good friendship. He is exactly as he portrays himself online, in fact he's much nicer in person.

Several reasons. Some, they lack intimacy and real friends so they turn to the internet as society can be very isolating for many people. You are judged by how fat you are or if you make a lot of money or several things. At least here they can just be them and not wory about looking good. Others, maybe they are in a strained relationship and have lost that intimate communication. This serves as an outlet for them to explore relationships that give them a chance to relate with others. Some who I have met even met their spouce online. I met one couple when the wife had their first child. They met tottally online but when they met physically it was true love at first site. Some, well , like me for example, I love the idea that I can sit here and talk with someone half way around the globe and learn about other cultures and ways of living and experience many different views of life. Its my way of living "out of the box" of American society.\nOh then you have your extreme people who love the internet and are sex nuts and so they become perverts and use it for the fulfillment of the lust and fantasies. YUK!!\n\nMe, I am simply a people person and just love to be with folks! Anyway to relate to people and get along I love it!

they think they can tell how a person is by just looking at them. I've misjudged people many times only to find out that they're really good people. Eventually, I stopped doing that because judging someone usually ends up to be wrong.

they may also have their "online" status masked. That's something that your messenger won't be able to see or update.

That is the very purpose of being invisible in the first place.  The only way you could possibly find out is if you message the person who appears offline and they respond immediately.

its a bait and hook some times these people are just trying to get off by looking at you  or what ever , these people are serious i would be careful don't take there age, name, sex, location at face value please protect your self

I think for some people asking a complete stranger is easier than asking someone you are close to.  On here you never see the person's face so even if they judge you you can blow it off.  When it is someone you know, you have to look them in the face and see how they react before the words come.  It is harder for human beings to be judged by someone they are closely attached to.

They are NOT all liars and gross. I have a myspace profile, and so do a lot of my friends and family. Yes, there are some creeps out there who use it to get to children and such, but not everyone there does that. There are ways to make it safe and private, so that only the people you know can contact you or view your profile. You just have to be careful.

They may be just people he met befor you on the service and he just wants to keep in touch. Its the hardest thing in the world to imagine and to confront when your not sure, you dont want to make yourself look insecure, but obviously your feeling that somthings up and once you feel that you always be judging your own intuition.Id create a fake person on the site and try to see if he falls for the bait> if he mentions you everythings probably fine if not you better run

Maybe you have beautiful eyes ;)\nJust maybe they see genuine kindness which you don't see in most guys(or peoples) eyes.
