couples in chatrooms who.....

Ok, so is it just me that's mystified about couples who come into the chatroom to argue with each other in main room, fall out with each other in main room, or flirt with each other in the main room???

And are there any other stories about couples doing outrageous, funny, or otherwise eventful things in the chatroom??

Note, that this is not me naming on shaming anyone or any couple in particular, and if anyone takes offence or anything, well tough

No, it isn't you who sees what you see. There are those who take chat-rooms bo *be* rooms; this 'reality' ceases at this point and there are those who would want to cause trouble and/or problems that they wouldn't dream of doing in a reality. The chat-room becomes a shroud (in other words) behind which people tend to hide and it's from here they can be bolder than they ever would in their real lives.

The same rule applies to flirting; let's be honest here, some people can say things they wouldn't dream of saying to a stranger. Again, it's the idea of people believing that 'that' person is real and they are in a real room; again, the reality ceases at that point and so they flirt like there is no tomorrow.

The chat-room is merely an illusion, as is everything that goes on within it. There are those who would argue this isn't the case ... but there you go :-)

You're right. They are able to exaggerate everything and cause drama, and even involve strangers in arguments that in real life just wouldn't even be considered important, just because they are in the chatroom too.

But it's worse than that, and this is what baffles me. Why would a truly genuine couple come onto a chatroom full of anonymous and often horned up people with webcams, private messaging abilities and often other messenger programs, and risk a host of dodgy things going on, like public arguing, either one having the potential to flirt with someone(or even more) in private, people making up rumours, hrmm maybe even public flirting going on with either person. For someone like me, who gets jealous and really possessive really easily, as well as having a low self worth rating when I compare myself to other people, this would drive me bananas and have me really upset and stressed out. I wouldn't want people to flirt with me if I were dating anyone else either, and would actively discourage it.

If they were genuine, this stuff would seriously affect their relationship. If....

is pretty annoying really
