Why do AB users presume you are lying?

[122345]

I was wondering why people on this website often presume the other users are lying about themselves. I have never lied about anything on this website and I would never presume anyone else was either. I mean if this was a dating website it would be different but AB users have nothing to gain by lying about their appearence or personality.

Many people find it difficult to believe something that is a bit unusual, and assume that it is untrue. The same thing happens when someone recounts a story that conflicts with their preconceived ideas. My collection of thousands of press cuttings proves that truth is stranger than fiction. For example, would you believe that a man of 92 had to appear at a discipline hearing for fighting in his local club? He was an ex-Royal Marine who had survived Gallipoli and the Western Front and his decorations included the Vimy Ridge bar and the Mons Star. He commented "They say I hit three people but I only remember the last one - and he was as big as three". At his age it must be untrue, but it isn't.

No, I think most people are pretty truthful on these links. The only one I'm a bit lairy of is the one who thinks she looks like that Russian tennis player, Shackarova or something. I have a sneaking suspicion she/he is really a coalman from Willesden. I could be wrong of course.

I think because you cannot see people and their reactions, it's hard to make it believable, although I'd never really thought about it before reading your question.

I have also never lied about my appearance, as I've never been asked to give it. I'm 5ft 4" with short brownish hair and blue eyes. (Plus I'm only 15)

I tis just the feeling I get that no one believes a word I say on this site. Also the sarcastic answers I have got to this question make it obvious everyone thinks I am a ugly middle aged man
