Coming back to reality

I don't care what you think Luigi

Then why do you continue to respond to my posts, even when they are not addressed to you? Obviously, Lisa, what I think carries significant weight with you.

That's not something I would brag about either. It tells me that you've got some serious issues. And taking them out on me will not solve your problems.

I don't have to explain more to you cause I don't have to tell you anything.

And yet you've written more to me on here than anyone else has and you still are not done talking me...

Im defensive cause i don't like you as a person.

I won't dispute that you don't like me, but I don't believe that's the half of why you are defensive. I am convinced you are defensive because you are frustrated and have doubts about Simo, and I also think, Lisa, this blog in particular has fueled those doubts.

I dislike the manner you give advice.

Please more specific if you have a legitimate compliant. I suspect, though, this is just you running on empty because you have nothing tangible to say to me.

I dislike you thinking you know it all.

I don't. Then again, I don't need to "know it all" to see what happens in these cases.

I dislike you belittling people and women.

That's something I don't do on here. And if you're going make accusations, please be specific.

I dislike how you post you are so experienced when in fact you have never been married.

Normally, I would agree. However, this board is not about the intricacies of marriage. It's about widespread international dating scamming, and that happens to be right up my alley, especially since I grew up with the internet. I can tell just from what is said on this forum that a lot of folks older than I am have some pretty grave naive perspectives on the internet and distance dating.

So, yes, Lisa, I am very confident in what I write having experienced much of the exact same situations, emotions and drama discussed on here. The fact that I have bounced around for several years with people on-line makes me the ideal person for this site. Had I been married in a committed relationship, I would not have such experiences.

You are in your 20's.... I dislike you posting things to suit yourself. To me you are not real....

Well, as you can tell, I am very much real, and I post to suit other's needs, not my own. As some of you are so fond of pointing out, I don't have a Middle Eastern man, or for that matter an internationally-based dating relationship. My presence on here is to help others and at least in part to make penance for my past sins.

So.......this is your argument....that I am young (in the same age range as your Simo) and you don't like me.

Not a very strong argument at all, Lisa. Maybe I'm the one who should whine about discrimination? :)

That kind of hypocrisy actually makes sense on a forum like this.

Lisa, a lot of people on here do not like me and what I have to say because it inevitably means I have helped them see what is really transpiring. I don't pretend that it's easy for them. It never is.

And yes, not all men are liars, but if by "these men" you mean the men discussed on here, well, I've found ample evidence in pretty much every case that convinces me over 90% if not 100% of the stories I have read on here are not real or at least not healthy.

If they were, they simply would not be discussed on here.
