I met a man on here, who's 10 years younger than me. We became friends, and after I broke up with my master a year ago, I started spending more time online with him and ended up falling madly in love with him. He is everything I ever wanted in a man, he's my perfect man, he even gave me the most perfect beautiful gift to prove to me how much he loved me not too long ago, everything was perfect until I asked him to officially change our relationship status to in a relationship. He went mad, told me that it was nobody's business that we loved each others, etc. and deactivated his lush account. But as soon as he did, he opened a second one, added only one person, the girl he had told me meant nothing to him, that he was just there for her because he felt sorry for her, etc.., and changed his relationship status to in a relationship, and she did too! (I know it is his account I confronted him about it, and he did not deny it). I begged him to talk to me again, but all he did was to send me an email on my birthday, telling me he was dumping me. I am not posting this so people can feel sorry for me, or tell me what an idiot I was to think I had found love on here, but I am trying to understand why some men, as I went thru the same thing with my ex master, have to tell you they love you, if they don't mean it? This is lush after all, it's not facebook. Lust rules, not love. I don't tell anyone I am in love with them, unless I mean it. I just don't understand, why some men do that, make you feel so loved, and then dump you over night. And guys, I don't mean to offend any of you, maybe some girls do the same to you, but I would not know. So feel free to enlighten me, thank you.

Why do men tell you they love you when they don't have to, or mean it?
Active Ink Slinger
I think lush is like every other aspect of life.. You have some great people and you have some whack jobs... Why do people do anything they do? They feel there is something in it for them. I personally don't love easily and keep that close to the vest. I am not one to judge anyone for finding love whereever it may come. I think lush is a place where you take from it what works for you and leave the rest. Some people are on here looking for relationships or whatever. And if they find it, thats great. I don't think men are the only ones that play that game. I am sure there are just as many women as men on here that do the same thing. I think some people are really good at manipulating people.. I know for me.. I have had a lot of men try to romance me since i put on my profile that i am recently single. I don't need the attention of anyone, but I think because of my profile, some see me as vulnerable and easily manipulated. I haven't read your profile or know anything about you, but look and see what vibe you are giving off... And remember, this is lush and Lust rules.. Take it for what it is... I probably didn't help at all.. but that is just my opinion on your post.. Cheers.

when I met him he helped me get out of a bad relationship. Already then he cared about me, and wanted me happy. Well that's what he used to say. I don't usually fall in love easily, but this time, am really hurt, and feel like an idiot. Not a nice feeling. And you are right, am sure lots of men go thru the same thing too. Thank you for your input, I have revised my bio, so I don't look like, "c'mon guys, time to break my heart!"

that was my point actually. It is playland, not the real world, and on here, you don't need to tell someone you love them to get into their pants, but people still do for some reason, and I don't get it. Unless they get a kick out of fooling women.. maybe that was it.. thank you for the reply.

You didn't ask for this but please allow me.
Never ever beg anyone for anything. It's like forcing someone to give you something. If it's not willingly given it's not worth anything.
I do understand your position, however digest the pain and deal with it. Your misfortune was going to end sooner and with honor.
About your post.
The word "love" must be one of the most overused word. It's used so much in anything just for the sound of it that people have became desensitized.
Myself, I have actually never told anyone that I loved them if I didn't meant it. But yes I had a friend that used it a lot to get what he wanted.. today he's the one still searching for it.
I have just looked at your avatar.... You're a LS member since.. 15 days ago? and you meet this guy here?

I just wanted him to tell me why, I needed closure, and at the time I had not quite realized that he was just a player, I actually blamed myself for what happened. And I have been a member for over 2 years, but I deleted my account when I got dumped and reopened one a couple of weeks ago. I think I have learned my lesson this time.

So that "in a relationship with" option has caused problems - wow, who'd have thought?
I've heard of similar problems about people asking stuff like "Why am i not on the top of your friend's list? lol" It's right up there on passive/aggressive lushisms with "wow. you have a lot of friends"
Lush is largely one-to-one, you can get away with saying any old shit to dozens of people at the same time and still come off as if you're talking to just one person. A lot of men of will just say anything they think you want to hear if it means they get what they want.
There are a lot of emotionally vulnerable people here, and unfortunately it's very easy to manipulate them. It's reprehensible but sadly it's also human nature to put one's own needs ahead of someone else's. The anonymity of online friendships makes disassociating empathy all the easier.

Why? That is the hundred thousand dollar question. The fact is this is a place full of different types of people. You learned the hard way as most of us at one point or another have. We are human and are all here for various reasons. The key is to realize that to most this isn't real, its fantasy land. Take what you are told with a grain of salt and hopefully you will be fine. With high walls and a skepitcal attitude towards what you are told on here will serve you well.
I'm sorry you had to be hurt to realize this, but hopefully, as in most things we learn from our mistakes.
Good Luck to you.

I knew something was not right when he started following that girl and she wasn't even an author, so that's the same as being on top of the list. After lots of thinking I consider myself lucky now as I don't have to deal with his lies about poor him working 2 jobs, etc.. I was really stupid lol! But I do feel sorry for the two other girls he was playing too as they haven't seen the light yet, hope they don't get hurt. Anyhow, I learned my lesson, I will never get close to anyone on this site again.

It happens in real life as well.
I watched the marriage of my wife's best friend fall apart after she told her husband she was going to start sleeping with other men. Then after the marriage broke up the man she was sleeping with walked off.
There are many of reasons that it happens and they are not always the same. Men are just as prone to engage in fantasy as women. Telling a woman you love them is easy. Knowing what love is, rather harder. Knowing what you mean by love is what the other person does, harder still.
If you don't believe defining love is hard, try this, describe what the colour red looks like to someone else. By which I don't mean tell me what something that is red looks like, I mean what is the sensation of redness like for you. It is completely impossible as there are no intersubjective frames of reference.
That is why telling someone that you are thinking about them, or that you hope something happens for them, or that you want to spend time with them means rather more than 'love'.
Another reason is that sometimes you thought you were in love with someone right up to the moment you tell them you love them. And that is the exact moment you suddenly realize that you don't. Hey, I was 16 at the time and we were Saddlebacking. Sue me.

I'm so sorry that you've been hurt Eve, and as others have said, people are on here for many different reasons, but as this is an erotic site, sex is a major motivator. Also. although we all enjoy a safe, anonymous place to enjoy different aspects of or sexuality on Lush, it makes it that bit harder to spot a player for what he/she is. And now you know, you'll use that experience to spot the same signs in a new online friend. Its just the same as in real life, where we just all have much more life experience. If you'd met him in a bar, you'd have had him sussed in 10 minutes...

It's already been said, for the most part ...
Men know women are more emotionally motivated, therefore telling her that you love her appeals to her emotions in hope that it will open her thighs

I've only ever told one girl that I loved her and it wasn't in order to get her into bed. She seduced me first. It took me awhile to get the nerve to tell her that I loved her, though she told me a lot, and I am now I'm married to her.
This made me smile..

My first thought after reading the posted question, simply MORE SEX.
I'm surprised that any relation ship, would survive on this site.. Ok I'm 70yrs young. & what I see on Lush: Almost everything written here is erotic,Most of you are young, The vast majority of you very attractive,A lot of well toned bodies , both Male & female, And there is a lot of lovely skin displayed..
Now the BAD;Distance to travel between you,Ease of interacting with others= probably leads to insecurities, or jealousies, then lack of trust, controlling the others friends. & Lack of PERSONAL TOUCHING / Holding / kissing . IF you are in a relationship , Then I wish you the very best..joel

I wouldn't say that unless I meant it, so I've never said it. Never!
Saying that frivolously could be hazardous to your health. You could be saying it to another Jodi Arias.
Saying "I love you" could get you shot & stabbed in the shower!!!!

I think in this particular case the guy was two timing with two different women and did not want to choose between them. When one of them forced the issue he went for the other one.
I don't think working out the motives of this particular guy is very difficult: Some men are a-moral bastards and always will be.
What I find rather more mysterious is why women who otherwise seem to be quite sensible seem to fling themselves at such men against all the advice of their friends (both male and female) and stay with them long after their true nature is acknowledged.

Yes, that's what happened, but I know now that he was intimate with the other woman first, so, he cheated on her with me. Makes me sad as he knew how much I take relationships seriously, and can't stand liars and cheaters. I am glad now it is over, but can't help and feel sorry for her, she's a young single mom, and doesn't deserve to be played either. What hurts the most is that it took us months before we both used the L word, so when he finally said it, and then gave me the gift, I believed him. Anyhow, I am glad it's over now, and consider myself the lucky one as I can move on now. Thank you everyone for your input xx

For many guys use the word “LOVE”, to get in a woman’s pants it’s sad but true. This four letter word encompasses so much power, emotions to one’s heart and hopes and dreams. It took me a few years to say that word to my girl and she knew how I felt beforehand when she told me way before I told her “I love you”. Yes as a fellow man I want to say am remorseful that so many of us use the word “LOVE” for sex with ladies. So when I tell her "I Love you" i mean it and dont expect sex for it but will take a beatuiful smile from her and sparkle in her eyes!!!
