I can tell if they're genuine or not. I've met a few online who I've got on with and later met in real life. I've not been disappointed yet.
On the other hand, people who keep using different user names and never speak of family/friends/personal incidents - in fact anything personal at all and only post to pass opinions on what's in the news or to decry other members - well I wouldn't trust them at all!
I'm here for chat and fun and to exchange views, but I'm very wary of putting personal details on a public forum.
Doesn't mean I don't post stuff about myself on here from time to time if it's relevant.
But I do have some carefully chosen photos in my profile.
I hope this doesn't mean you find me creepy or unfriendly or untrustworthy.

Myrtle's lovely but wears a beard when you meet her, very odd!

As for trusting people on the internet, some you can, some you can't. I've come across one or two who post in different places claiming different lives...
Then again, some do that in real life too.

Re: Trusting People On The Internet....
I've ended up meeting in person a number of people I've got matey with through forums.I have to say that I've yet to be disappointed. They were all kind of as imagined, personalities as imagined and have ended up remaining very good friends.

Don't believe a word of it. You're coming on cat-trapping holiday I bet.
