I know what you mean, mate.
I'm actually a twenty-year-old supermodel with the body of a ballet dancer and tits like coconuts.
I just like pretending to be a dirty old man.

A warning for all males on Lush from a common phenomenon.

Quote:
Why they do this is beyond me don't know, but I find it extremely fishy especially when they demand naughty pics in return of the pics they're showing during the chat (OF THE SAME MODEL GIRL).
**Most females on here are so inundated with cock pics, that I find it hard to believe they have to DEMAND naughty pics!**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:
As for why am I only talking about women and only warning men? Simple, I am straight, so my experience in that matter is only limited with women; and I have no idea how it is like with men here, so how am I gonna warn women about something I never experienced or know about?
There's no need to accuse me of sexism.
**NOT SEXIST???? Aren't you the guy that blocks women simply because they are lesbian? **
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:
You are only assuming one possibility why they might be using fake pics, I agree in this case it's totally harmless, but what if their goal is to gather pics/videos from guys in their horny moments?
**Again, we (women) can go to at least 50% of the male profiles on this site and find pics of their ''pride and joy''. And just like pics of female pussies and clits, there is no shortage of these pics to be found on the internet, for free, and without the need to stroke some guys ''ego'' to get them.**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You seem to have an issue with women in general as evidenced by your actions in the chat rooms. I even wonder what sort of guy is upset by getting a hug from an av that looks like mine (and no it isn't me as I clearly state in my profile). Most guys beg me for a hug.... or more.

Oh wouldya ever ligten up muffinman ... this is the internet ... about at least 80% if not more of what is here is false, misleading or at the very least doubtful. Simplyjohn is one of very few here who one can tell is truthful. I dunno why but he is, I just get that even if I don't know him well at all. But anyway if u think that anymore than say 10% (and that's a high estimate imho) of the ladies fotos on here are THEM ... you need a lesson in what the worldwide web is, and the internet.

WELL SAID!

[ But I never use my real pics as my AV. I just don't want or need that kind of attention from anyone that might actually know who I am. You have to be my friend (or those creepy stalking mods) to see my personal gallery of what I really look like.

Agree here 100%. I have a business. But also a personal life. Don't want one getting mixed up with the other, or it could cause embarrassment! So all my info is private as well. For those able to have their real pics as their AV, really envy that freedom.
You've never pretended otherwise! You're upfront it's the ones that aren't that's the issue and in particular the ones who are practised and very convincining!
BTW Nobody please correct the use of the s in practised, it's correct!

i just find it easy to mark which ones are me and which arent. its that easy. i also mostly crop my photos and if your lucky enough to have me on fb or then you see the whole picture. but those are far and few between for safety reasons. Sorry. But stealing pics and claiming they are you, if your male or female is wrong in my opinion. but this is lush not dating site....so anything is possible and should be expected!

i know for sure that almost no woman here has real pics of her self just one or two maybe.
but the worse for me is that the half of them are bisexual and the other are lesbian
how wrong u are
but .. if they have one or two, as u say, u defeat yr own argument..
if half r bisexual.. lucky u?
i'll look after the other half.... :D
i wonder how many WOMEN on lush want to trade pics? .. it is sooo NOT a common occurrence in my experience ...
i met 3 in my first few months here .. and they wanted pics of me... in exchange.. have met none in the last year ...
how many want pics of men doing their .. whatever?
i am soooo with cas [adele] on this...
perhaps it is men pretending?...
but that, really, is being unfair to men.. most men that pretend .. well they pretend to be women..
if any of my gay men friends read this .. well, know i mean no offence..

i don't think they hide ... giggles.. but some reside on my friend's page... ooops!
need to stress that not all men on my friend's page r gay or even bi... most aren't.. or so certain gfs tell me 
I'm not the hottest guy , by any stretch of any ones imagination. But I am who I am. I don't pretend to be someone else or do I want to look like someone else. To do that is to say that you are less than.
A warning for all men. If you do this then you lead yourself with a false sense of self esteem. Believe it or not.
Never want or pretend to be anyone but yourself.
Let people like you for who you are not for a picture of someone else.
If your not careful you could lose sight of who you really are.
Now the warning has been sent to those who really need it. Not to those of us who already know better.

As the others have come clean...my avatar is not me. I don't own a boat. I come here to have a bit of fun so don't expect the pictures people use to be true images of themselves just like I don't believe the stuff they say in the forums. Adele don't change your avatar, it gives me a hard on every time I see it.

anybody that knows me also knows that the avatar isn't me. i just chose it because i loved the picture. with that being said, if someone actually thinks it is me or i'm trying to insinuate that it is me, then they haven't taken time to get to know me. i guess i will add a disclaimer to my profile stating it isn't me but, to be honest, if someone is wanting to get to know me just because of what my avatar looks like then it is probably someone i wouldn't care to know anyway.

It's not the avatar, it's the personal photo's in the profile and the ones sent with a pm that are supposed to be of the sender.
I just wished I looked like my avatar! Lol.

I once had a guy pretend to be Channing Tatum, using one of his older pictures.
Some people post real pics and they prove it by doing face chats or meeting up. Some use google images. It's the internet. You can tell those "sexy" "seductive" photos of girls that are public are fake right away. I have my personal photos private for only a few eyes. None are revealing at all.
but yes this is the internet, please get use to seeing fakes. Just don't get attached and check out profiles.
Also don't pretend to be channing tatum

I understand that as well. I'm constantly telling people that my avatar isn't me. However, I've never felt the need to put it in my bio. But if it comes up, I don't hesitate to tell people it isn't me. It's just a representation of me. I don't even accept compliments on behalf of the girl in my avatar. I just say, 'Yes, she's gorgeous' and move on. But I will say that it surprises me how many people assume and are willing to believe that my avatar is me before I set them straight. So I do understand how easy it would be for someone to take that and run with it.
Generally, I think people need to put a face to something...just for a visual representation. Your avatar is readily available, so that's what they associate with you from a visual aspect when they talk to you. I find myself doing this even when the avatar isn't an actual person and is just a cartoon or a funny picture or an animal or something.
Also, I think because Lush is a big fantasy for some, people just choose to believe that a person's avatar is them because they want it to be them because it suits their fantasy. In doing so, they seek no further validation other than a person saying, 'Yes, that is me.' I'm sure that can get messy for those who take it beyond the fantasy aspect...but it works for those who are just here to take things at face value and just enjoy themselves.
Different strokes, different folks I guess.

I think this is the crux of the issue. We just can't help trying to piece together who it is we're talking to and so, as usual, without the full details our subconscious and over-active imaginations fill in the blanks to what we'd like to believe is true. It's like how I imagine women on lush are always lying on king size beds with nothing but a loosely slung cotton sheet to protect their modesty, when I know that 9/10 are on the sofa wearing sweat pants and a misshapen tigger tshirt with pizza stains on it.
I guess the argument always goes back to the same issue on Lush: fantasy v fraud. We all bend reality to some extent with our online personae - whether by omission or just by basic lying. I must say though that it worries me slightly, that even now people still need to be warned that in reality, people aren't always who they appear to be online. For me, that's like someone saying at the end of a film "it's ok, it's only pretend".

Quote by Muffinman82
Note that I am not including anyone who's using the avatar of a celeb/cartoon/symbol without claiming she's the one in the pic, I am talking about people who deliberately put a non-famous internet beautiful woman with a full album of selfie pics of her, yet claiming she is this woman when asked about it, and there are plenty of them here, yet the name and the country of the non-famous model they use often doesn't match at all their profile's first name and location info, there are plenty of model pics on the internet that appear genuine/realistic, naked mirror pics, bedroom pics, selfie pics and those people use these type of pics to give an impression their pics are genuine.
And no, they are not males in disguise doing some pranks, I did consider this possibility, but I've talked via voice (yet they never accept to use webcam, go figure) with many of those women (only to find out later their set of pics are not theirs), and you can easily catch a guy faking a female voice. Everything about them: their voices, their desires, their fantasies, the way they type and the way they react to compliments are 100% female. Why they do this is beyond me
So guys of lush, use common sense, if the girl looks extremely attractive then it's more likely to be one of those, and use free tools to check the pics source (ie. tineye, Search Good with image" chrome extension...etc) before exchanging in a naughty chat with them
Wow, breaking news. Who would have thought people would be enjoying fantasies on a sex fantasy site

Unfortunately too many Lushites take things way too seriously here, especially the newbies. Many treat this site as a dating site with plans to meet someone for recreational activities or even marriage, while others are just sitting there half naked looking for a good orgasm.
I do have a cartoony profile, but I have real pictures of myself and my wife with her permission for my friends only. I am for real myself and told the truth in my own profile. I've watched the chats nearly daily and it is a reality soap opera. Some made me laugh while others leave me shaking my head. People are so outgoing in their own mentality when they believe they are anonymously hidden.
I doubt they are fooling themselves or others. They are in a fantasy world, in denial to an certain extent. It only shows what the human mind is capable of.
With that in mind, I have found some genuine people that I am friends with. It is true people will give themselves away in their chats after a while. A minister friend have said in his sermons, "Give the devil enough rope, and he will hang himself."
So we shall see, with everyone who comes through this site.

Having been here long enough to remember what this place was like before we had our own profiles, I think I have a different take on this. We can say that the name is still Lush Stories, but in truth, there is now just as much emphasising (and greater bandwidth) on the social networking side of things too. If it was truly just about the stories, why would we give profiles to non authors?
And once we start down the social networking road, it's inevitable that emotional connections are going to be made. Its human nature to feel connections with the people you talk to regularly. Unfortunately here, and elsewhere on the internet, people are not always who they say they are. I've been fooled twice, by longstanding "friends" who turned out not to be real. I know others on this thread who have dealt with the same thing. It can be devastating when it happens. But I also know people here who regularly create new characters here to keep it exciting. I don't understand why, but it's a fact of life here. It's why my friends list is small now. I may "friend" you here for a little while, but I don't let you in unless you can show me something outside of lush.
So while it may not be something the administration wants pointed out, I don't think it hurts to remind people of both sexes that what you might consider a burgeoning romance or even just a deep friendship, could be someone else's way of having a little fun and seeing what they can get away with.
