Played by a Troll

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I recently discovered that my online boyfriend is just a troll and I'm shattered.

How do you get over this? I read a few good articles. It's difficult being a female and not realizing how males act, well, normal alpha males are a challenge for me.

In all honesty, I was a member here years ago and I learned alot about dating so I'm here again and sorry I'm broken, but it's a new year so I just want some support from my own kind. I missed signals and f'd up. I know men have more testosterone and am on the verge of turning lesbian. lol

I don't want to become bitter or change too much in ways that degrade me. Keep your sacred self sacred I wanna keep that at least.

Some of us men have been played too... it's not a gender thing. Sorry to hear it.


Post #1... welcome to WP!

I had a short romantic correspondence with an alleged princess from Dakar, Senegal who promised to share her riches with me once her account was unfrozen.

Seriously though, I was played by an apparent felon who sold me an overpriced piece-of-sh*t car with a title I can't get signed because she disappeared.

Yes... I've been played. There is only once where I got used in a good way. Most times was because people felt necessary to take advantage of a nice guy. I haven't been that nice to people since and have more or less been closed off to a lot of people.

That has nothing to do with gender or being alpha. It was a troll, plain and simple.

but, autistics don't lie so much i don't think, or maybe i'm wrong?

In real life, i know undiagnosed aspies and i read so much and i'm 37 years old and pretty so I had lots of experience in real life, but people online are a different breed. It's like a video game to them and it reminds me of that scene from idiocracy where the guy is saying that a pimps love is much different from that of a square.

We at least should band together and not stoop down to this pigeon level of f'ing over our own kind.

i know that we all have different motivations, but testosterone is a chemical that drives us, and it's like i see through it and it's just too bad he's an alpha, or maybe i'm just another sucker chick too. OMG i'm a human!! !! pukes and slits throat metaphorically

I got played, very publicly, on a writing site. And I'm a writer... I still haven't been back to that site, and that was over four years ago now.

Yay, me too, but not it at all, so you must be much wiser or more broken? See, there's always two ways of looking at it at least, positive and negative and all spectrum in between is a rainbow. I bet I got more hurt than you because i can't imagine anyone surviving through the shite I had to sift through, but maybe you did so let's compare notes or something and call it the losers circle. I for one am not about to give in and become a troll or player. I like me still and for that I can at least say I have myself still although broken and scarred and tougher with less emotions. I don't want as much for sure. Duty to life!

Losers need to make some sort of come back.

I was played by a troll on WP a few years ago and I thought he had a genuine interest in me. A good friend pointed out that he was a troll.

It has happened to me quite a few times.

what's his name so we can watch out, or his traits, pm us if you see a pattern

I get played by trolls all the time but not in the relationship sense. Usually, it's something on other forums where I'll post something and some troll will respond with a pointlessly derogatory remark and I'll get all worked up before I remember to check the person's posting history (when available) and notice that they're just going around posting angrily for kicks. This rarely happens anymore but I still feel like the last person to notice someone is trolling.

that's so weird. i'm not really sure if this guy is a troll or if i'm pushing him away, but he's just too much of an alpha for me to trust so i look at it logically and realize he must be playing me, but probably somewhere down there it was real to some extent for him, and for me he was and is the love of my life but i'm still me alone

So, oh, i found this site for trolls and apparently there's a whole lot of them out there playing people like video games, so weird. look at this http://genericindigo.com/forum/topic2096.html

he's been spoofing the spiritual memes and all that, so funny

Rent the video "Catfish".

Its a true story of a male person being "played" by a female internet imposter.

( apparently the makers of the movie have expanded it into an MTV reality series because its a common phenom that folks seek advice for).

Honest parties can also have misunderstandings on the net as well.
