A Random Thought And An Answer To A Comment

I sometimes chat with men who say they'd be grateful to find a woman who doesn't care what they look like as long as she accepts them. I don't think "I don't care what you look like" is really what I'd like to hear from the love of my life. My wish for everyone is that they find a partner who finds them beautiful!

Thanks to everyone who reads and or comments on my blog. I am sometimes surprised to discover how many people actually read my humble musings! I haven't posted an a couple of weeks so I thought I'd take the opportunity to give my opinion on a question amplvr3 posted to my comments.

"Why there are so many 'faker' amputees posting disability personals. What's the point since they will eventually be found out? Why waste people's time claiming to be something you are not?"

I have had occasion to talk to many many fakers unfortunately and I've come to the conclusion that they do it for a number of reasons. Let me make it plain before I start that I realize that the vast majority of people who have BIID do not engage in any of the activities I'm about to describe. That being said, I think it's safe to assume that almost all fakers have BIID this is the way they express their desire to be amputees.

I think most of the people who place personal ads are interested in what it would be like to have a relationship with someone as an amputee. They have no intention of actually meeting anyone who responds to the ad. They are just interested in what it would feel like to be an amputee in love. These folks don't seem to think very much about the other side of this equation. I've talked to many devotees who have had their hearts broken by this type of deception.

There are also some people who are fakers who get off on emotional manipulation. They are turned on by making someone feel sorry for them. Sometimes it's the thrill of conquest. It's great fun to make someone fall in love with them just to see if they can do it.

Whatever the reasons for it, I've talked to some decent men and women who've had their hearts trampled on. It's made me very guarded in all my interactions with men online and I wish I didn't have to be that way but I do.
