Lush might be a different story, but I feel like there are a lot of places on the internet where the number is more around 90% lol.
Welcome to the internet. LOL ~
I think there r lots pretending... kinda like how men like watching lesbian porn. You can tell most by how they word things or act. However, some can be good fakes and can really fool you. I have opened myself up to a few people on here only to realize later on that they have to be guys. Sooner or later they make a mistake.... it just stinks because you begin to question all of ur friends and can have trust issues. Is faking it and pretending to care about someone worth actually really hurting them more? No I don't think so.
I think it depends on how you use the site. I don’t chat, participate in the chat rooms or cyber with anyone, male or female, I enjoy making comments on some forums, writing and reading stories, and I’m always off line so I don’t come into contact with many people.
So whether they are who they say they are or if they believe I am who I say I am makes no difference to me
I have enough problems being a guy without complicating things.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
I don't care who is pretending to be whom. If I have fun, which doesn't necessarily have to be sexy, I'm good with it. Why spend time caring about what is, most of the time, in the end, inconsequential? Fantasy is a big part of Lush and some just get off on pretending to be someone they are not, who am I to stop them having fun?
Hitting this again since it seems to still be of interest.....
I think it comes down to expectations. And there is a wide range of expectations here. Personally I don't have a problem with any of them. But I know MINE, and personally, I am not interested in doing anything OTHER than casual chatting with any member who has a fake profile. It is one thing to not give a correct location, or to use a "stock" avatar, but when the entire profile is a complete lie (to include being the wrong sex), I am just not interested. If I want a TOTAL fantasy, I will read a story or look at some porn. But when I interact, I personally want some reality there. For me, THAT is what works for me.
I don't know if this is of any interest any longer but it just makes me mad when a man pretends to be a woman. I know I have first hand experience and if you want to know the details message me will be happy to tell you who he is and name and how he has affected me in my personal life.
And I was just about to suggest to just have Bethany check them out. I tried to convince her that I was really a lesbian pretending to be a dirty old man, but she didn't buy it.
I posted a couple of days ago about hating men pretending to be women I guess I should elaborate on the issue. It makes me angry because it happened in my personal life. My husband who is no longer a member was here pretending to be a woman. He said that no one would take men seriously and that no one would read his stories if he wrote them from a man's point of view. That is bull I have many male friends here on lush and I chat with them.
My husband hurt a lot of people I know some personally but I'm sure there are a lot out there I don't know. He was a very good writer one of the best and his stories were very well liked by all since his deletion his stories have also been deleted. It is very unfortunate that my husband only had his best interests at heart he only cared about himself and didn't care who he hurt not me or anyone else male or female from what I gather. He had a big following he was a god so to speak here but he wasn't a true friend he lied to one and all and hurt everyone or at least most in his path both male and female.
He hurt me the most for I am finding out each day what his lush life was really like and what he did and how far he would go. I am sorry to all of you he hurt but I had no idea what was going on. This world Lush was his life he lived a cyber life for 4 years till the end about 6 months ago. I'm sure if you were friends with him you will know who I am talking about but for those of you who are interested just message me and I will give you his name. I am not the husband he said I was I am a woman I am his wife he never talked about except when maybe describing himself at least that's what he told me. I also found out he had posted fake pictures claiming to be him through the years. Oh he's smart he knows how to pull the wool over one's eyes.
Now I'm not ratting him out to get back at him; well maybe in a way paybacks are a bitch as they say; but what I'm really doing is trying to warn you everyone that there are liars who only look out for themselves and their own pleasure. I know I caught him many times late at night yes he hurt me a lot but he also hurt a lot of you as well.
As I stated before if you are interested just message me and ask I will tell you I will answer any questions you might have and no he's not going to come back I've already warned him of what might happen his career is at stake and he has too much to loose not just me but his whole future as a doctor. He really pulled one on a lot of us and for that I am sorry because he's not and will never apologize because he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
I might add he was passing himself off as a bisexual female
