Oh it's true Caiti, it's true....

The message board persona. Let's face it. You could be anybody, look like anybody, live anywhere, or do anything - all with no one finding out the truth.

For instance, let's just say our message board Casanova is from...oh...Philadelphia. He claims to have a good job and really be a ladies man. Even has pics to "prove" it. Any of it's easy. Why? Because all somebody has to do is be a photoshop expert anymore, and viola - instant message board stud wannabe.

The message board can be the locker room of old. The place where every guy told stories to try to see who was the bigger man, and who did who how many times. The only thing about a message board is this - the fantasy world can be upheld MUCH longer because, really, how many message board people do you actually meet.

So keep that in mind the next time you find that dazzling someone online. Are they really who they say they are? Do they really look like THAT? Just like the old adage - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
