I came to this site to help others help me. One specific person on this site jack59 has talked with me about many problems. I have given my advice back thats what we do here.. Jack59's wife has sent me a message because she too is on this site and asked me to leave him alone. Jack59 contacted me first on every occasion I have evey message to prove so. One thing we have talked about and the same things we all post on here, is that he is not in love with his wife anymore. I can only give advice when you send me such a message. On this advice I guess his wife and jack59 thinks this is a dating site. THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE and I cannot believe they would ever think such a thing. If you do not want to talk to me then do not send me messages. Oh and jack59 while your in jail ever again do not have your wives brother make up a screen name to find me on this site. I still will remain here because there are members that do make a difference and I thank you all for that. For jack59 I do not appreciate the drama with you and your wife nor her brother faking to be something he is not and making up a screen name on here to talk with me. Jack you need to stop making up screen names and stay with one instead of going through so many and be honest with all members on here. Sorry for everyone else for posting this but just letting people know what goes on here.

Had the same thing happen to me with a guy with name of darkasslife. I confronted him and he is no longer on here. I recently am having problems with ptsd27 asking for pictures and for very personal information.

I agree and am sick of the few men on here who think this place is a dating site. Freaking go to Match.com or something. Leave us alone already.

unlivedlife 04/14/2012

darkasslife was suppose to be his wives brother thats who contacted me he needs to quit and leave women alone on here there is no telling how many women he has done this too. So there if your jacks wife and you are reading this I am not the only. I am sorry you are going through that we should be able to get on here without being harassed.

First response that comes to my head, "Holy Shit". I have told other people about it and didn't think they believed it. So sorry he got to you too.

It's going to happen, there are always people that will flaunt the rules, no matter what the situation. I hope that people don't take this stuff too seriously and leave the site because of it.

I think we should report people who make a nuisance of themselves and then forget about it.

I've had lots of messages on this site from people who are trying to get me to give them my email address by offering "pictures" if I respond by email. I just ignore them, I wasn't born yesterday.

I know there are some here who aren't as thick-skinned as I am about nuisance messages and posts. I hope they can resist the urge to just give up on the site. Some of the personal attacks I've weathered on here did get to me, I'll admit...but I'm glad I stayed.

I did actually leave this site for several days and came back with a new name because I was constantly being bombarded by guys wanting very personal info.

It didn't keep me away, but now I have two more that are persistent, so I will use the abuse option when it happens in the future.

unlived I am so sorry you had to experience this you are not the only one he has done this too. He has been on this site on and off under many different names and he keeps trying. No one on this site male or female need this type of crap. We each have our own issues and as you said are hearing trying to help ourselves and others on here. We do not need the added drama this type of thing creates.

Don't get sucked up into other people's madness.

Once someone started a chat and started asking me personal questions. I flat out typed the I don't want to answer that question.

Remember, anyone can join this site. That means that we don't know for sure who is on the other side of the screen. There's no guarantee that everyone who joins is well intended or even rational.

deleted_user 04/15/2012

There are also people who are bored and make up all kinds of rubbish!
Of course if you report abuse then theres nothing to stop them just rejoining undet a different name.

I'm sorry to say that I have to agree that some of the people we meet online are not who they say they are at all.

I used to know a person who posted online using various identities and genders and email addresses. She seemed to have the mind of a fourteen-year-old, even though she was actually in her forties. Her game seemed to be about stirring people up with inflammatory posts.

She did use DS at times, don't know if she came here to make trouble or get support...she did have physical illness that gave her a lot of trouble. So I'm careful not to reveal too much personal info here. I don't want to get mixed up with her ever again.

I feel sorry for her, really...but I have learned it's best for me to stay away from her.

deleted_user 04/15/2012

GOOD for you for voicing it!!
People like that should not be on this site.
This site is very helpful for those seeking serious info, support ect.....

That kind of dating patty drama is best kept on dating site.That is the last thing you need.

unlivedlife 04/16/2012

Thanks for alll the support.

deleted_user 04/16/2012

I am sorry you have gone through this nonsense. Good for you sticking up for your self and calling him out. We are not here for that kinda stuff, there are other sites for that.
