On the Internet No One Can See Your Paunchdivorce

Never give up. Never allow divorce to make you bitter and cynical about love. One popular way to find a new love interest is to go online. Having tried it myself, I am hesitant to vouch for the success of this method. I can only say that it can be the most exciting way to meet lots of men.

99% of these men have one thing in common –they lie about their appearance and post pictures they have taken years ago.

Like this guy from New Zealand who seemed like a sexy, rugged athlete and described himself as athletic. When we met, he was surprised that I had not posted an old picture on my profile (for he readily recognized me), but I wouldn’t have recognized him if he hadn’t smiled at me. He had quite a tremendous paunch.

He was a nice man though, and when I chided him for posting a much younger picture on his profile, he sulkily said: “But that is me!” It turned out that he used to be a rugby player who suffered a knee injury as a teenager after which he could not exercise, let alone play.

And there’s the Englishman (he pointed me to his website, so that was reassuring), who turned out to be one of those guys who believes that a UFO will sweep him away from the world’s final catastrophe. Incidentally, when I said he might have a paunch, he sent me a picture of himself which would have been naked if not for the printout of my photograph before his crotch.

How to Write an Irresistible Profile

Dating sites suggest that you add a picture to get maximum responses to your profile. That’s absolutely true if you are good-looking. But I took it as a challenge to lure men just with words. The secret of a successful profile is honesty. I mentioned that I was divorced and had a son. I mentioned what I truly looked for in a man. Yeah, even the fresh breath, the flat belly, and a sense of humour. I mentioned my own flat belly and the yoga and my spiritual practice, my being an ex-model, and the fact that I wasn’t looking for eternal bliss with a guy. There were so many responses that I had to delete my profile.

Be Careful out there

I was horrified to learn that some women pose as men and vice versa just to have a little fun. Wouldn’t that be simply awful? Romancing someone, only to discover you’re barking up the wrong leg!

Recently I discovered that there are con men out there, ready to take advantage of gullible women. If only they’d read my blog, they’d know that I’m not a stupid, lovelorn woman. Neither am I rich. It’s happened to me thrice.

The most interesting story is about a blond flat-bellied blue-eyed divorced Englishman who proposed to me the first time we chatted online. I was shocked. How could he fall in love with a picture? The inanity of our online conversations convinced me that he hadn’t read my blog. I told him I couldn’t commit myself to anyone without meeting and knowing them first. He tried to lure me with the idea of living abroad with him, an offer I spurned. He said he would relocate and bring along his son who loved me too. He said he worked in an oil rig in Malta. When I questioned his identity, he offered to send his son across before him. My suspicions grew.

When my English friend told me that there are no oil rigs off Malta, I grew even more suspicious. I was just waiting for the guy to write and ask for money. And he did. I had insisted he get onto webcam so at least I’d know whether he was this gorgeous guy in the picture on his profile. He had hedged about before finally saying that his webcam was ‘spoilt’ and if it was so important to me, I could send him $200 so he could buy a new one. The money would also help pay for his son’s ticket to India. He would send me a cheque so I could register his son in a good school. That was the last straw. I told him exactly what I thought of him.

An important thing to remember is to never give out your address, or your phone number. Ask for the guy’s number first and check him out. Definitely look for intellectual qualities; he can’t really fake those. And don’t get naked on webcam. You might just see your image floating across the world-wide web.

I am left with an unanswered question: Is there anyone in cyberspace who’s truly gorgeous as well as interesting, and single? For, on the internet no one can see your paunch.
