Thread: myspace jealousy (sorry kinda long)

good. Arnie used a photo of his brother taken ten
years ago.

Women over forty will claim to be in their thirties or
forties. Men in their sixties also claim to be in their
forties.

Most of the sexy photos are not of the posters, they
are part of the 'Second Life' experience.

You have to see it for what it is; here is this female,
seventy pounds overweight, looked like Miss Mud Turtle
on her best day, gets a photo off the net and uses it
for her avatar.

She creates a cuddley name and an invented life
and goes after men or whom she thinks is a man...
She wants to hear all those lovely phrases of desire
which she's never heard in Real Life, (except on T.V.).

So she lives vicariously on the Net.

You must recall the famous story of 'Miranda'.
She had a very nice voice and somehow got
the private phone numbers of celebs and would
talk to them on the phone and have this relationship

Eventually one of the chaps wasn't taking a blurry
photo, wanted to meet what he thought was a
slender, beautiful Scandanavian type, and saw
Miranda, who was in her fifties, squat with a big
mole on her face.

(Vanity Fair wrote about it).

For years Miranda enjoyed her fantasy world.

After the fantasy world is no longer a fantasy world anymore, then Miranda's entire world collapses, until she creates a new fantasy...Too many women are living in "pipe dream fantisies" With all of the time they waste to impress men, they could have utilized this time to earn their Ph.D or their J.D. Degrees by now!

In the case of the real Miranda she just went back
to ignominy. In other cases, it's very true.
People waste so much time in their 'second life'
they forget their first one.

A rule of thumb, don't accept anything any one
tells you or that the photograph is their own.

Go by what they post.

For example, a particular poster on another MB
claimed to be part of the cast of a particular
show. Some people believed him, some didn't.

Subsequently he wrote something about another
actor who would be appearing somewhere, and
of course one does all the googles in the world.
Nothing.

A week later, the info popped up that the other
actor was going to appear somewhere.

Now clearly, the chap had insider info. Whether
he was who he said he was or the assistant to
that person, or a friend of that person, his post
did prove he did know what he was talking about.

Subsequently, he made another 'insider' post, and
I gave him the benefit of the doubt, and yes, it
was as he said.

Up to now I am about 90% sure he is who he says
he is, but retain that 10%...
of course, I don't let him know that I harbour a
doubt. I just read his posts, ask a question perhaps,
make a response, but as in two past cases he had
been gold, I suspect he is gold.

he doesn't talk to her, or even go on myspace anymore. or if he does, its rarely. i haven't noticed any more comments from her on his page, so that is a good sign hopefully. I just wish he would delete her from his friends. but i can't tell him what to do or ask him to do it, cause what would be the point? this is my petty problem not his.

i think that men are so naive about women flirting with them sometimes. the way she was acting around him, it was obvious, but all he could talk about was how bad at history she was. that's why he invited her over to study. i must admitt that she is not smart, so i don't blame him for wanting to help.

i think that i don't have anything to worry about. we are married (no kids) and he has no interest in complicating what he has in our relationship.

thanks for all the input, i'll try to hold back the jealousy and just be more aware than he is!

Hi MissKitty3,

Also, focus on yourself and not always him! Don't make him the "center of the universe." Join a group or a club, work out at the health club, go back to college. Shop, have lunch with your girlfriends. Find things to make yourself happy. After he sees how busy you are, he may realize that you have a life outside of "HIM" and he will no longer become immersed in My space therefore he will divert his attention on you and not the women of My Space.

I didn't like Fatal Attraction at all, in fact I just shut it off.. it was creepy...and I've seen it before in RL.

I know of people that have gotten shot & killed over this very thing.

Men are idiots.
A gal smiles, wides out her leg and a man's

In Jamaica, periodically some gal will come
from England and make a fuss over some nobody.
He's so ****** he doesn't think...why is this woman
going crazy over me?

The next thing is she'll tell him she's taking him up
to England, and pay for his passport and VISA,
and then, of course, he has some cocaine to
swallow.

Before England cracked down, most of the smugglers
used the one in four...that is, four idiots on the plane.
First caught in Jamaica, Second caught in Britian, and
of the next two, only one has to get through.

So the idiot who gets caught in Jamaica, he's in
prison. The idiot who gets caught in England,
he's in prison then deported. One of the others
might have a bag burst, so he dies, or he's caught
in customs.

The moron who gets through, believing some female
is in love with him will be taken somewhere, given
a strong laxative, and when all those bags are out
he's left where he is.

Now this smuggling went on for years, and I would
often tell groups of boys about this.

In every group of twelve, at least two, sometimes
more, who hear what I say and then when the
gal wides out her leg, forget everything, and wind
up calling me from prison.

Men rarely thing. why is this woman running me down?
They think; "Oh, I'm Sexy, yup yup I'm sexy."

LOL, doesn't matter what you say or how many times you say it to warn them ... they fall for the "feminine wiles".
