Two weeks ago I talked about the growing frequency of online affairs. Apparently this is becoming an issue that concerns many online services as well as marriage counselors. Pretending is a major theme in cyberaffairs.
Men claim to be professionals who work out every day in the gym.
And they universally claim that their wives don't understand them. Women, on the other hand, claim to be slim, sexy, and adventurous. The anonymity of the Internet allows them to divulge their wildest fantasies. In fact, their frank talk and flirtation pays great dividends in the number of men in a chat room who want to talk to them. Online affairs develop because of the dual attraction of attention and anonymity.
