I dunno, I would like to THINK that I would do that but as soon as you say "I don't have to prove anything to anyone" then the opponents say "Suuure that's just because you CAN'T prove it..."  |

Lol I would ignore it if someone didn't believe that this is the real me. Sure I'm a little different here than I am in real life but not by much. If anything the person I am here is the person that I wish I could be in real life. I've met a few people that I don't trust from the internet but I just trust my instincts  So what are you not honest about mwwhhhaaaahhhha   |

What you see is what you get. It would be too much work to create a fictious persona and then remain in character for me to bother with. You would have to remember all your lies and not trip yourself up. I get a headache just thinking about how much work it would be. (In reality, I'm a twelve year old poodle named Fifi.)  |

I wouldn't be bothered, if a person felt me to be untruthful then I doubt I would bother with them.  |

I'm as honest as it gets, I see no reason to lie to anyone about who I am. What you see here at USM and in my posts is definitly me! I kind of would wanna go out of my way to prove what I said was true cause I don't want people to think I lie but then again I may not. Intresting post! -BreathingBody  |

I'm honest, because that's what I would expect from someone.I don't think I should have to go out of my way to prove myself to someone.  |

I HAVE been questioned Keth..LOL..at one time there were a few that saw my pic on Banner's site and decided that I was a fraud because I didnt look old enough to know the things about life that I knew, so they set out to prove that I was a fraud..I remember how upset I was over it..  |

I have nothing to hide; don't have anything to sell; don't have any desires to be "popular", and MY whole life is about HONESTY. I value honesty more than anything. What you see (read) is what I AM. If ANYONE (they have!) questions my honesty, then they had better have a good reason; otherwise, I will ignore them; and they aren't worth my time. I can accept just about anything; any personality, any quirks and any lifestyles, whatever, but I cannot and will not accept lies from anyone.  |

I am an open book..lol No secrets here Men are shocked when I actually tell them my age, height and weight when they ask. No biggie to me, like me or don't like me, believe me or don't believe me. I know who I am When you get to know me, you get to see all the sides of me.. good and bad. I don't hide it. Hi, I am Tina, I am 28 years old, 5'3" and 158 pds. LOL I have went out of my way once to prove to someone that I was the person that was in the photo I sent him. I ended up sending him 10 photos of me..lol However, I dunno if I would do it again.  |

i am exactally what everyone sees (or reads, i should say. lol) except i am a little less shy on the internet. in person, i never initiate a conversation. lol. but i don't think i would go out of my way to prove i was telling the truth. i understand that it is hard to believe what some people say.afterall, you can be anyone you want to online. but i never lie, not in everyday life and not online. if people don't want to believe it, thats their choice.  |

I have absolutely nothing to hide, I am the same person in real life as I am sitting behind this puter screen. I do not live a lie, if I tell you something, then you can take it to the bank! Check the profile if you have any doubts. I am a real person in a real world and I kinda like it that way!  |

I, personally, would be taken aback a bit if someone questioned my honesty, but at the same time I realize that this(the internet) is a place where so many hide who they really are and it is hard to know who is being truthful. There isn't anything I can do to really "prove" who I am, so I wouldn't bother trying.  |

Hello Kethria I love your aka. *wink* Of course, you already know that..lol..I try to be totally honest with everyone. I believe that if a person is honest, the stories stay consistent..Oh Lordy! I have always had an avid imagination and have been known to insert myself into various situations. Makes for interesting readings..sometimes..If anyone ever asked me though, I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth....Whether people believe me or not, well that is beyond my control. I suppose if I thought that "proving" the truth would make a difference for someone, then I might do it. Otherwise, I'd just shine it on..Interesting question, Kethria. Write on  |

I've never found a good enough reason to pose online. When I send my pic, for better or worse that's me. If I relate an experience, again...for better or worse it's the truth. My memory just isn't good enough to keep track of my real life and then a fabricated one. On the same token, I take people at face value, until I have reason to think otherwise. If I find someone has told a whopper, I pretty much write them off because I have neither the time nor patience nor energy to expend on liars. May sound harsh, but that's just the way I operate  |

Who would lie about a boring life like I have??? If someone accused me of something I don't think it would bother me all that much though I might try to prove them wrong. My daughter (who also has an account, she's *Shakes* and hangs out in the horror section mostly) and I couldn't get on USM one time, when I finally got ahold of an Admin, it turned out whenever my daughter couldn't find her password she would just make a new account. I had a lot of explaining to do and wasn't sure if the admin ever believed that I actually wasn't parading around under a bunch of different names.  |

but the real question is: what would you do if someone started spreading rumors about you online, to people that you know in real life? what would you do?  |

Bojangles, the people that I know and who KNOW me would KNOW that it is a rumor. They would tell me and or ask me about it; and never would they ASSUME anything. If someone is going to just assume the rumor was truth; then they aren't a very good friend to begin with. By the same token, if I hear a rumor about a friend, I WILL do a thorough investigation, and won't assume anything until and if there is proof. |

I'm the same here as I am offline, except I'm probably a little more quiet offline  A number of USMers have met me so I don't think I have anything to prove. It really wouldn't be worth my time if someone didn't believe me about something. Those who know me know the truth.  |

Bojangles, dear, do NOT worry about ANY "what if's" "Maybe's" or "shoulda, coulda, woulda's"; as it will be futile; and make your life crazy. THAT is no way to live. |

what you see and what you hear from me is what you get hun, as you say, if someone questioned my integrity here "Whatever, I know the truth and that is all that is important"is the exact attitude I would take...anyone who asks me anything, and I mean anything at all, will get the truth from me...good post sweetie....MIL  |

I'm honest online, as Iam offline, I don't see much a need for lying about yourself lol. If it was small like umm "oh you really don't have green eyes" lol or something like that, I would ignore it. But, if it was something about me, that was importaint to me, that I was being accused of, it would bother me. Like, about a year ago, someone who was mad at me called me the *bleep* of the usm lol.That, was something that upset me, I wasn't going to stress myself out proving that I wasn't, but I didn't just let it roll off my back. If that makes any sense.  |

I have been questioned about this before.. I am who I am, except maybe I dont give AS many hugs in real life as I do online, But other than that I am me... I pretty much ignored the times I have been called a fake or a fraud, but I still wanted to prove it, but how do you prove something like that unless you are face to face with the person saying such things? Its almost impossible. So no, I didnt go out of my way to prove it, but those that really take the time to get to know who I am, know that I am pretty much who I am online, that I am offline, except here, I cant cuss as I usually do irl.. lol... Good post Keth. *hugs*  |

it depends. if the person mattered to me a bunch i guess i would try to prove myself, but - there are many internet freaks, and some try to get you to give out personal info just so they can harass you - (personal info=proof).. basically - no , i never care what people on the internet think about anything i say or do - to me the internet is a place to be totally honest - complete anonymity (if you choose to keep it)...  |
