Where's the catch???

Posted by: Flame on 14 October 2010

I am a little bewildered, so I want the input - and I want to brag a bit - from you guys here. Now I am a guy of average looks and average financial means. I have fared OK with the ladies in the past but it was barely OK.

About a couple of weeks back I've met an American photographer/glamour model who looks stunning. I clearly confess that she is out of my league, or at least way above the level of any woman I have been with in the past. The odd thing is that she has expressed a clear romantic interest in me and in a very short time!

I still find it illogical that this is taking place and I am waiting for the catch to reveal itself. I am expecting her to be a guy who had a sex change operation with an interest in overweight men. I don't know. I've seen sub average looking men with super hot women, but those typically have mansions and Ferraris or they are mafia leaders. What do you guys think? i am anticipating a fun and/or humorous discussion Smile

Perhaps she likes you.

I'll look after the Ferraris while you're horsing one up it.

I might have not made it clear that we met over the internet and not in person. Which to me makes the possibility of genuinely liking another person so fast even more difficult. But garyi's opinion is to be considered, how ever remotely.

My cousin threw a quote my way a few weeks back. He said "You always loose money chasing after women but you never loose women chasing after money".

Pleased to see the old romantic in you is still alive Tony!

Flame, I think us blokes get too hung up on what we think women like in men.

Just be grateful and accept you're a babe-magnet.

I'm far from that, I assure you.

At least now I know you're not an English language teacher out there, otherwise you'd already have a boyfriend!

Two obvious catches that I can see.

1) She may not be the "glamour model" that you've seen in the photos.

2) If (1) is incorrect, she's almost certainly looking for money in return for any "romantic" liaison.

Not that I've ever tried internet dating.

There is, I suppose, a third possibility.

3) She's a stunning, nymphomaniac, glamour model who doesn't mind what you look like, as long as you agree to boff her at least five times a day.

To me, you make the most sense so far.

I think she is looking for free augmentation.

If you have only seen a photo sent via the web and she refuses to talk over the phone or on say Skype preferably with a webcam (for whatever reason)then you can safely say you are talking with a scammer - probably a man in Nigeria. I'm not saying this to be funny - I feel for you and wish you luck. I hope she is real.

If she is real why does she need to date on www.
Good looking photographers models or anyone so blessed don't need to ply their trade on www.

I advise the off switch; its a scam at worse or a wind up at least.

We spoke over skype voice chat. So at least I can confirm she isn't a guy.

Exactly! You understand my reasoning then. When she's so hot, she must be surrounded by loads of men trying to get into her undies or trying to establish a genuine romance with her. If I were Brad Pitt, I wouldn't look for some average girl from afghanistan over the internet.

You seem to like what you know of her so far, pursue it with caution and watch for red flags like "could you help me with some travel money to see you" or "I just got myself into this mess / need some urgent surgery and need some urgent financial help"

There is the possibility that you have communicated with her as a person and not a sex object, and she genuinely appreciates that.

After a stag do I chatted with a woman who 'danced' at the event, and quickly we started talking about design, and I discovered she had studied it at college.

She said something to me that I found rather sad 'Men like you don't talk to girls like me.'

We became friends, and still are, although by phone these days as I moved away.

Do not send her money. No matter what she says and what you think is right or wrong.

Why don't you ask her? preferably via a video chat
What do you want? internet buddies, long distance relation, emigration, ..??

looooooool

Would not be very decent of me after this debate took place on the forum Smile
Posted on: 15 October 2010 by Flame
I hope that I have managed to communicate with her on the personal level. If this goes in the direction it could be a nice relation. As for sending money, I'd rather upgrade my black boxes for the time present Winker
