Or are people generally more relaxed about it these days? Do you admit how you met or tell a white lie?

If you see my 60 year old bad self in a rain coat and hear me say I met this girl online.... than call 999. If you say you went to a snoglondon meet up for socialising and hit it off with someone... damn even if they were not in the group... hell you can say you use this forum to enrich your social life.

Over the last 8 or 9 years I have had no problem introducing 'real life' friends with those 'make believe' friends I have made over the net. i don't know what peoples problems are in admiting they have met people via the net, but I don't care where I find you, if I like you .... I like you... end of story... I have no shame Reply #3: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 23/08/05 anonymous I was embarassed the first few times, but the reactions were always just a shrug so it's really no problem now. The embarassing thing is that it's usually guys that I've met through here - Belugar and Reno have both been down here to visit and it's a bit strange telling my Canterbury friends that I met them through a dating site... Reply #4: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 24/08/05 anonymous When people ask me how I met Emma, I often fabricate a fanciful reply, not because I am ashamed of course. Just to make myself look rad. Here are some examples: I saved her from being tied to the railway tracks by a top-hatted madman in a twirly moustashe. She dropped her purse at Covent Garden station and I returned it to her after a five-year investigation I funded myself by baking cakes and selling them off. In a crazy Post Office mix-up, our mail was sent to the wrong houses. Much hilarity ensued. (This one is actually true) We met in a tube carriage and shared a taxi home to deepest Leytonstone in a selfless act of chivalry. She saved me from a sky-diving accident by grabbing my legs and opening her own parachute, saving me. To this day, I have an enlarged femur. We are not together at all, we are spies on a stake-out, trying to foil a trillion-dollar world-domination attempt. We served in 'Nam together, she pulled me from a foxhole on hill 69. With only one bullet in her M16, she fought off a whole company of Charlie, for which she was awarded the Medal of Honor and me a Purple Heart.

I've never cared about it, although I must admit to protesting vociferously when someone has accused me of being "sad" and explaining snoglondon is more than a dating site. And it seems different for Sean and I, as we were friends first. I can see what CB means though, it can seem a bit weird...... Now, I'm off to arrange a date with Tinkerbell. Just don't tell bleu, whirl and Vicky B, they'll get jealous ;) Reply #6: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 25/08/05 Mr Omneo gender male age 40 posts 999 last on 06/07/10 send private reply is this like a stigmata? Reply #7: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 25/08/05 anonymous How blasphemous. Reply #8: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 26/08/05 anonymous Internet smegma? Not in this part of Teddington. Reply #9: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 26/08/05 anonymous It's a shame I have just moved away from my Fulwell Park palace Throaty. We could have gone for a jar down at that pub by the river. They do IPA you know. Reply #10: Re: Internet Stigma Posted : 26/08/05 anonymous Among other things, so I've heard.
