Quote From: shadycat1 my point was, like everyone else I could be ANYTHING I chose to be, and back it up if need be.
As for the fixation (not really again just trying to make a point here) sounds a lot more exciting than being a brunette housewife (if I were trying to find someone online, I'm not) mother of three, problem is we ever met the reality would be lets say quite different and probably disappointing.
Do I take it seriously, sometimes yes sometimes no, I think it depends on the topic, some topics are quite serious and shouldn't be taken lightly, and IF someone were lying about say being abused well that's not cool at all, but then what choice do you have but to take it at face value .
Is it lying, well let's be honest , my real name isn't Shadycat, technically a lie, but then common sense as well and most of us don't put personal info here (even on this site which is fairly safe, as safe as any I guess).
Sorry no offense intended, just trying to make the point that we have to be careful, that some will exagerate or BLATANTLY LIE to make themselves seem more appealing to others, and being in another place behind a computer monitor makes it easy to do.
So, you'd make a pretty good on-line friend. Basically, you tell the truth. You are what you say you are. We agree on many points, and we can have a discussion without getting our feelings hurt.
Be proud of your home and family! Being a "brunette housewife" is the hardest and most rewarding job. And we have no social status whatever. We almost apologize for working 12-18 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and no retirement benefits, time off, or even sick leave. I suppose what a housewife most longs for is adult company. I once went two months, and no one called me by my first name. I was Mommie or Ooots. I almost forgot my own first name.
