I’m on the fence about whether she/he is a troll or not. I found two other forums where she posted the same message. On the one not already mentioned she has been a member for quite a while, and has a variety of equally inane relationship threads she’s started. Maybe she is real, but that would make her a very naïve, ignorant young woman who is addicted to bringing the minutia of her clueless life to Internet boards. It would be kinder, IMO, to call her a troll. I enjoyed her thread here. It gave me a toy to play with, and it was fun to exchange barbs, quips and fish stories with the other regulars on that thread. The only drawback to having participated is that I have this evil, nasty new urge to drive \*\*cmyk \*\*crazy by doing this ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > See, I don’t believe it’s possible for a female to pass puberty and not realize that guys chase tail for pleasure, not commitments. Male-bodied person here. If by “commitments” you mean ongoing relationship, I was always hoping that would develop, although yeah damn right I was interested in the prospects of just plain old casual sex. My attitude was “if we have sex, why _wouldn’t_ I want to continue being with her? It would be so cool to have a girlfriend!” If you mean “guys in general” aka “most guys”, yeah, I saw the pattern too. ---

The story that is. You took the hook and were reeled in in a naivety matched only by the hypothetical character in the fairy tale. Actually I still believe that this Mary character is who she claims she is. But it is completely insignificant to me. My reaction if Mary were to say “Ok, you got me, my name is Bert and I made it up” would be: “Ok”. To me it does not matter whether the story is something that actually happened to a woman named Mary or just a figment of imagination in the head of a guy named Bert. It’s text, a story on the internet. What is of main interest to me is that so many people seem to find the events implausible, when for me they all fall into the realm of realistic occurrences. And that some seem to be so concerned about the authors real identity. It’s a screen name and a story. ---

That thread is fucking huge.
