True story: Guy goes online looking for love, only problem is he’s a 46 year old pretending to be 18.
He meets the love of his life, an impressionable 18 year old girl who eventually finds out the man of her dreams is a wee bit older than he let on. Depressed and distraught, she runs into the online arms of a 22 year old stud. Finding this to be a rather unacceptable situation, the guy does the only logical thing he can think of: he grabs up his trusty old rifle, hunts down the 22 year old stud and blows him away.
But there’s another problem: the 18 year old girl of his dreams was also a wee bit older than she let on. As in, she was a 45 years old wife and mother of two kids. Whoops.
By the way, the guy was a church deacon.
I swear people, it’s not like I actually go looking for these stories to show that church people are seriously WHACKED (it was an old news item that showed up in my inbox today). Given my recent string of church bashing though, the timing did seem a little odd. But then again for a guy like me that’s par for the course. Welcome to my weird life, folks.

I read about this story a few months ago. It’s just crazy, eh? The church would be such a great place if it wasn’t so full of sinners!
Some people just don’t handle (or hide) their obsessions as well as others.

Damned sinners ruin everything, unlike us perfect folks.

Yikes. Scary! I bet the only one who was telling the truth was the poor 22 year old (or WAS he?) and HE got shot! I wonder what the percentage is of people who misrepresent themselves online… Nevermind. I don’t know if I really want to think about that too much. Ouch.

There are still some honest people left on the Net. In fact it’s been at least ten minutes since I last misrepresented myself.

So I’m guessing your website “My Madhouse” is just a metaphor for sanity?

LOL. Strange. I could write a book about my online dating exp.

The best was getting matched to my stepsister.
Maybe I should start checking out those “married but still looking” dating sites now.
Or maybe MillionaireMate so I can find myself a sweet sugar mama.

LOL…I wanna shugaaa daddy!

Truth be told, if I had a choice, I’d take wub over sugar any day.
