"Find Your Perfect NIGHTMARE Online"
2007-10-17 02:07:00
"Find Your Perfect Date at Match.com", reads this online dating service's current banner ad. "Find a Nightmare ", reads the banner ad attached to the inside of my skull. Because online dating, at least in my experience, is one of the unfunniest jokes around.What am I ranting about? Well, the six months that I spent on Match.com, and the 120 dollars I coughed up were complete wastes of time and money.I first joined Match.com because it seemed to have the biggest database, and its friendly, photo-driven database let me actually look at the people I was sending e-mail to. Unfortunately, the database underwent a complete restructuring shortly after I joined, destoying several evening's worth of work creating an an earnest, heartfelt personal profile. So I had to painstakingly re-enter all this information.After re-building my personal information, reconstructing my personal search criteria, and uploading a new picture of myself, I waited patiently for some incoming e-mail to arrive.

DEALING WITH YOUR OUTRAGE - WHEN YOU FIND OUT YOU'VE BEEN USED
2007-10-15 02:33:00
When a narcissistic type (most cyberpaths & predators are NARCISSISTIC or SOCIOPATHIC!) launches one of his surprise attacks, a normal person's first reaction is to assume it's a misunderstanding and try to resolve it. That's her first mistake. She does this because she assumes she is dealing with a normal human being, who must have felt offended by something.But a narcissist evades and discourages your attempts to find out why he's mad.Typically he does this with a reply that is a reply to something other than what you said. So, to an observer who entered at your question it would seem that you are like two actors saying lines from the scripts of different plays. In fact, that is essentially what's happening. Remember, the narcissist has the personality of a little child, who does not distinguish between reality and fantasy. So, his off-the-wall reply IS a line from a script, the fiction about this incident that he is imagining.This is how the verbal exchange typically pla...

A REVIEW - 1/2006 PREDATOR OF THE MONTH

A review of our January 2006 Predator of the Mont h BRAD DORSKYThis is a review of our January 2006 POMThis guy's a great example of the most predominant, garden-variety type of cyberpath. Maybe because he's young and just getting his 'internet-predator chops.'He's got all the sauve of a dead light bulb once you get past the initial nice guy facade. He appears to us to be probably narcissistic & psychologically sadistic. (Did we mention that at the time of his expose - he still lived with his mother?) He doesn't want money, he doesn't really want sex either. This is the type that SAYS he wants a relationship but is such a misogynist that he just throws out the ole seduction wamma-jamma, gets some nice young lady in his web of lies and toys with their mind. An emotional rapist.Any guy who purposefully picks on the younger girls, grooms them the same way pedophiles groom their targets and then twists them like this deserves to be exposed.

The advice you'll find below is meant for you to use as a way to help protect yourself from getting hurt. The tips are mostly common sense, but sometimes when it comes to love, it's good to have it written down for reference.Person is too secretive.This can be as simple as the person is insecure with letting out information about themselves, to the person being married or living with someone else.Person is often flirting with other people online.Just as in real life you can find "players" online.

HOW THEY GET SO GOOD AT MANIPULATION
2007-10-12 02:58:00
In light of the fact that EOPC considers most cyberpaths narcissistic and/or sociopathic regarding their exploitation of others via the internet, the following may be helpful to victims and those wishing to avoid being victims:It's a known fact that narcissists and psychopaths have amazing powers to sucker and manipulate people. Your typical street con artist is a good example. Authorities warn us not to laugh at the victim and think that we ourselves would never be stupid enough to fall for a con artist's scheme. Indeed, people en masse often fall for one to elect that guy President for Life. Psychopaths routinely sucker even their therapists. Even while still teenagers, they are expert enough at manipulation to do so.When you are outside the con job's sphere of influence, you see clearly. You wonder what the heck the conned person is thinking. To you it couldn't be more obvious that this is a con job - the warning sirens are blaring. But the mark is oblivious. You wonder what ...

IS INTERNET ADDICTION REAL?
2007-10-10 02:44:00
More research is being conducted to explore the way people use--and misuse--the Internet .BY TORI DeANGELISIf you believe what you read, "Internet addiction" is about to make us a nation of derelicts. Men drooling over online pornography, women abandoning their husbands for chat-room lovers and people losing their life savings on gambling Web sites are just a few of the stories peddled in today's press.But despite the topic's prominence, published studies on Internet addiction are scarce. Most are surveys, marred by self-selecting samples and no control groups. The rest are theoretical papers that speculate on the philosophical aspects of Internet addiction but provide no data.Meanwhile, many psychologists even doubt that addiction is the right term to describe what happens to people when they spend too much time online."It seems misleading to characterize behaviors as 'addictions' on the basis that people say they do too much of them," says Sara Kiesler, PhD, a researcher at Car...

The SEXUAL ADDICTION Affair

(note: Many CYBERPATHS are sex addicts and/or romance addicts who use the internet to hide their real purposes behind pretty words and promises. "I love you" seems to be their way into your bed. Here is an article on this sort of "affair" - real or cyber - Fighter)By: Dr. Robert HuizengaOne kind of extramarital affair revolves around sexual addiction. The partner involved in the affair, plain and simple, has a difficult time saying "NO." He/she may want to, but feels compelled to say "yes."People can't say no? Well, I believe we all have the capacity, at some level, to say no. However, not all have developed that capacity or reached that level to firmly say no and mean it.Some are stuck and seem to lack the ability to consistently act on the no. Please remember that all of us are grabbed by something and then find it difficult to let go. Infidelity when connected to sexual addiction and its many forms, however, becomes a powerful focal point.How to know if infidelity is attached to...

Then he arrived when the party was almost over, crushing his son’s feelings.All of these are examples from flesh and blood people in the new book, “Help! I’m in Love With a Narcissist,” ...

ADDICTED TO ONLINE PORN

Experts fear rise in cybersex obsessionBy Linda CarrollWith the explosion of pornographic sites on the Internet, some experts on sex and addiction are concerned that increasing numbers of unsuspecting users will become victims of an obsession that can ruin lives and relationships. While many people may be able to dabble in Net porn with no ill effects, some run the risk of developing a serious, and potentially dangerous, addiction to online erotica."MY SPECULATION, based on my work with other addictions, is that those with vulnerabilities may be swept into the Net - pun-intended - of compulsive sexual behavior," said Anna Rose Childress, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania’s Treatment Research Center in Philadelphia."There may be a hapless subgroup here who would not have managed to develop a compulsive pursuit of... sexual behavior because of [societal] constraints and inconveniences.

THE CYBER NARCISSIST

The Cyber Narcissist (A Profile of the Mind of an Online Predator - Fighter)by: S. VakninTo the narcissist, the Internet is an alluring and irresistible combination of playground and hunting grounds, the gathering place of numerous potential sources of narcissistic supply, a world where false identities are the norm and mind games the bon ton. And it is beyond the reach of the law, the pale of social norms, the strictures of civilized conduct.The somatic finds cyber-sex and cyber-relationships aplenty. The cerebral claims false accomplishments, fake skills, erudition and talents. Both, if minimally communicative, end up at the instantly gratifying epicenter of a cult of fans, followers, stalkers, erotomaniacs, denigrators, and plain nuts. The constant attention and attendant quasi-celebrity feed and sustain their grandiose fantasies and inflated self-image.The Internet is an extension of the real-life Narcissistic Pathological Space but without its risks, injuries, and disappointment...

Making himself (or herself) quite indispensable, this person is your best friend, your most fantastic lover, the wonderful family you never had. For some, online relationships offer the chance not to find the love of your life but to get kicks from manipulating the emotions of others. In the worst cases, these individuals carry the deceit into real life.As we all know, e-mail gives those good with language the ability to wrap a relationship around with such intimate text that soon nothing else matters but an intense one-to-one filling every waking minute. You might pretend to be several different people to several different lovers, with some identities sustainable offline, others not.Thus, when I first met my lover, he was a female grad student called Cindi.

THE AFTERMATH: PTSD

We get emails months later saying the victim(s) can't eat, sleep or are obsessed with thinking about what happened. We recommend all our victims get help from someone who understands this sort of trauma. Write us at cyberpaths@gmail.com if you need help finding short term counseling. Most of us build our lives around the belief that we will be relatively safe. Granted, normal daily life involves many stressors, especially in these hectic times, but we expect these pressures to happen and we become accustomed to handling them. The more flexible we are and the more we know ourselves and are in touch with our abilities, the easier it is to deal with normal everyday stress. Sometimes, however, any of us could be subjected to catastrophic stress. Our feeling of safety in these circumstances can vanish. We could experien...

Emotional Infidelity: A Love Affair or Just Friends?
2007-09-25 02:05:00
EMOTIONAL INFIDELITYby Dr. Robert Huizenga, The Infidelity Coach A common plea: But, we're "just friends." However the "emotional connection" is quite obvious by the amount of time spent in communication and the "vibes" that are set off.These emotional connections often arise at work or in a social context in which working intensively toward a common goal consumes energy.Here are a few observations of the "just friends" emotional affair:1. This person often struggles knowing where to draw the line. S/he often throws him/herself into something 100%. Other aspects of his/her life may suffer or be ignored. There often is a lack of personal balance between family, work, self care.2. He/she struggles with intimacy. (I want to be close to someone, but don't like intimacy.) The "just friends" emotional affair means neither spouse nor OP (other person) ever get "intimate." Neither relationship is fully consummated or has potential for growth.3. Of course the "just friends" comment means e...

Bi-Polars and Internet Relationships

Part 1: What Makes Internet Relationships So Desirable?by Paula (about.com)People are drawn to cyber-romances for the same reasons they are drawn to face-to-face romances - either they don't have a "real-life" love relationship, or there is something missing in their "real-life" love relationship. On the internet, they may indeed find what they are missing. Or, because of the partial anonymity of cyberspace - which allows lots of room for fantasy and imagination - they may only THINK they have found what they are missing.The "exotic" and/or "magical" quality of a cyber-romances might be one factor that attracts some people. The lover's presence enters your home (or office) without the person physically being there, which feels very magical. People also enjoy the secrecy that an internet romance provides.An internet romance can be carried out from home or office without the knowledge of others around us.It's well known that people say and do things in cyberspace that they wouldn'...

The Cyberpath = The Psychopath With Internet Access

Psychopaths With Internet Access An Excerpt from the book: In Sheep's ClothingBy George K. Simon(how many of these have you seen or discovered in your Online Predator??... comments in purple are mine and not the author's - Fighter)Two Basic Types of AggressionThere are two basic types of aggression: overt-aggression and covert-aggression. When you're determined to have something and you're open, direct and obvious in your manner of fighting, your behavior is best labeled overtly aggressive. When you're out to "win," dominate or control, but are subtle, underhanded or deceptive enough to hide your true intentions, your behavior is most appropriately labeled covertly aggressive. Now, avoiding any overt display of aggression while simultaneously intimidating others into giving you what you want is a powerfully manipulative maneuver.
