Heartfelt Response to SL on Austrialan woman

Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Aug 16, 2009 at 00:29

Dear SL:

I am sorry this happened to you, and I understand your frustration.

Let me just say this:

Isis's point that you would not have likely been admitted to Australia is valid. Please do not take that line of discussion personally, as they have, along with the USA and UK, increased their restrictions.

I do hope, though, that you understand that we do not get many new male posters. Women on this site have been hurt by both Western and Muslim men, so it is not surprising that people will be critical of you.

As far as you being a scammer, two things

1) We have old saying here in America---Innocent until proven guilty. By no means am I suggesting that you are a scammer,

2) There's a lot more reasons that just scamming as to why these relationships fail.

The fact that she is so willing to help you---I don't like that idea. See, the thing is that relationships need to take time to develop, and her eagerness to just throw herself at you is a concern.

I've learned one thing about women SL---

If they are willing to throw themselves at you like that, who's to say she won't do it to someone else, perhaps someone who is closer?

Always be wary of women who fall for you too quickly.

I don't know if I'd believe that rape story or not. The thing about rape crimes is that they are rarely reported, and if she was raped, my first inclination is to think that she would not want to discuss it and perhaps even distance herself from men.

But, it's now irrelevant in your case, I suppose.

Listen, the best advice I can give is to find someone else and move on. I would cut off all contact with her, and delete your chat programs if you have to. Perhaps it would help to see someone closer. It's pretty hard to find a good woman over the internet in another country. I've been there, and done that.
