liar liar

My venerated fellow blogger, Blog on the Land, commented in his latest entry about many profiles on IE being hypocritical by claiming to be honest, trustworthy etc or looking for someone with those attributes.

This merely touches on a wide range of similar things I have noted whilst on the site. I cant really comment much on mens profiles as I am not inclined to read them but I have perused a lot of ladies' profiles and see a lot of similarities between them.

As my mate Blog noted, many women seek someone who is honest. Well excuse me but look at the site then take a look in the mirror.
Running closely alongside and probably even more prolific is the claim "I am not looking for a one night stand, just one special person to spend special times with"
Yeah.Right. Ok, when you first joined the site having made the decision to actively seek an extra marital relationship your fantasy was to have a lover who would be the opposite of your spouse. Someone attentive, sensual, caring etc. After a short time, however, your inbox was full of messages from would be suitors. Why have one when you can have them all? How would you know which was right without meeting them all first?

The thing is that its ok to do that. Its natural. Its what men do too. Its just a bit galling when somebody tries to take the moral high ground whilst cheating and lying themselves. It also means we all have to play these silly games pretending that we dont have contact with anyone else when getting to know each other. You'd think we were all teenagers rather than mature adults.
There are very few profiles which admit that they are being neglected by their partners and need a good shag.

Wow! two rants in as many days! Thats what bank holiday weekends do to a man.

Happy Easter by the way.

  2. Interesting. But I do expect honesty out of someone I will consider to be a lover. Especially if he is looking for something long-term with one person! If we decide to pursue something together, I expect him to have been honest with me and not get a BJ from an escort or have a one-night when I can't see him because I'm on vacation.

    If a man wants to fuck as many women as he can, don't lie to my face telling me you want only one lover for a long-term relation.

    But yes, having an affair to start with isn't very honest and it's a game everybody plays with their own rules.

  3. I think you have it in a nutshell Spring Flower. Pity I could have put it so succinctly!
