I tend to be a little more optimistic and prefer to believe someone until they are proven to be fake. It may be a bit trusting, but otherwise I might as well assume everyone is a liar, which means every post by every member is false, men and women. It's too stressful to always be looking for it, and I come here to have fun and relax.
I talk on the phone and exchange more personal pictures with those I trust and develop a connection with, and the rest I take at face value.
I imagine that while some of the young girls are indeed fake, many will be real. Sexuality is different then it was when I was that age. Girls today are much more likely to go looking for it, and the internet has opened up a safer way to ask questions and discuss sex.
In a way I think it is sad as it feels to me like a loss of innocence. These days 18 year old girls have exceeded me in the number of partners I have had and seem less cautious. Rather than being out and meeting guys, building up the sexual tension, exploring new boundaries, they are online with a wealth of misguided advice.
Ah, well. When I was that age I would have no doubt been doing the same thing!
