I just recently made friends with someone on Facebook and started posting to them. I was surprised to see someone I wasn't friends with taking swipes at me and my posts. They thought i was someone else, apparently. Rather than confront them, I just deleted my posts and unfriended the person I wanted to post with. There are other avenues to communicate,after all.

What if we here simply addressed the question posted?



I still offer up walking first thing daily and again in the evening. I am down over 40 lbs since mid march and if that hasn't been a factor in that loss, it sure hasn't hurt.

Well, I suggested lowering 'her' daily caloric intake by 200 calories for a few weeks and got insulted. I offered a realistic suggestion for losing four pounds and I didn't appreciate the snotty reply. Spot's suspicion that this person isn't who they say they are had nothing to do with my other posts questioning how four pounds could shrink a waist by four inches. Am I the only one that thinks some of the info in this thread is a little strange?

I posted #11 yesterday, left FG, came back now & see the thread expanded 40 additional posts.

I have read them all avidly, and came to the following conclusion:

You are all crazy :yh_silly (in a good way, of course)

And

Love you, wouldn't have it any other way :yh_love

It's not my sort of topic...I've only become interested since "FG" shed doubt on the person behind the posts.

My first day here, spot, ahso! & accountable thought I was a paid shill for the democratic party. I wish. :wah:

OK So I'm a little strange. You've had lots of time to get used to me by now and its why so many people love me so much.

Now. Forget 4 pounds ! Can anyone help me shift this monkey off my back ?

He's so cute! Why do you want him off your back?

Didn't you notice that my post was trying to deflect attention away from your strangeness?

I'm not getting near your monkey till you take that fork away from him.

Which means you either lied there about your age or you're lying here about it when you say "At the time I was 15, but now I am actually 16".

And, I suggest, both are lies of a rather greater order. Putting my comments here in the public area, rather than my previous warning in the subscribed member area, means other forum administrators elsewhere will get a heads-up if they get perplexed and go searching.

By all means carry on posting here. Some of us might join in the pretence, you never know.

Perhaps the simple explanation Is that there Is an 18 plus age limit to join Experience Project.

That's not an explanation, simple or otherwise. Your purported fact, "there Is an 18 plus age limit to join Experience Project", is false. Rather than surmise inaccurately and to no purpose you could always check first. The age bands start at 13 and have done since before September 2011 when that MilkMoon account was created.

That's fair enough. I didn't look Into Experience Project that closely last night. I just wondered If there was an age limit and that's why she'd done It... No worries... Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not concerned with an age discrepancy of a few years or if she's really a he but I would like to know how four pounds can equal four inches around your waist because I could really use that information to my advantage.

Yeah me too. That 2 stone, if I were to lose it, could help me obtain a whispy waist that my hands could go round

It's easy. You just create an alternate reality wherein you can control exactly which part of your body every pound is put on or lost.

In my personal opinion, I think you are eating two few calories. Given your age and activity level, you should probably consume 2000 to 2200 calories on the days you work out and somewhere around 1600-1800 on the days you are sedentary.

I eat 1600 calories on my rest days, and anywhere between 2200 to 2500 calories on my workout days. Im a runner and when I have long runs (10-13 miles) Ill eat closer to 2500. I would tone down the calorie counting and take a closer look at your fat intake. People who count calories tend to choose foods with higher sugar and fat contents. Im not a dietician, doctor, nutritionist...just a runner with three days of strength training and cycling (about 50 miles per week).

In MilkMoon's case, she is lucky that she gets to wear an abaya so her concern with her weight will be something no one else will notice. It must be such a relief to her that she can gain or lose 4 pounds without anyone seeing it under her loose fitting full garb that covers her entire body. Since all most will ever see of her is her eyes, she might want to focus on getting more sleep and less exercise so she won't have puffy dark circles.

The fact she Is a Saudi girl may explain her confusion with pounds and Inches.

I'd grant that MilkMoon may be female but she speaks English as a native language and uses phrases that place her at least in her thirties.

It's not a fact, it's a claim.

On a point of information it was MilkMoon who first used Imperial measurements in this thread, not anyone else.



Height: 5 foot 4

Weight: 122 poundsSaudi Arabia converted to the metric system in 1964. The expatriate UK accountant in his fifties with the sad online habits is getting more, not less, likely if you take that avenue.

I have a number of friends in their mid thirties and I'm not sure they'd use language in the same way, I'm just picking that as a minimum. I had thought it sounded more N American than British. Did you notice UK specific phrases?

It would be nice to make some of these observations in the thread claiming she is wanting to escape S Arabia and go abroad. I'd hate to think anyone might read that and message her about money or plane tickets.

Did you notice UK specific phrases?Cultural bias on my part, I've always thought of Americans as minor players in any commercial expatriate setting. In terms of linguistic markers you're right, MilkMoon's expressions are consistently American.

"I've gotten"

"A couple people speculated"



"well I guess I can see"



"I made sure to check this"



"Colors"



"centered"

Can't you tell where s/he is posting from by the ip address? Or is a proxy being used?

MilkMoon claims in the thread to be posting from Saudi Arabia and I have no reason to believe otherwise or suspect proxy access. There are twice as many posts on Saudi Arabia's day off from work, Friday, than from any other day, which is consistent too.

I'll pose a puzzle for anyone who might like to check the timestamps of the 56 posts - not one of them is made between 7am and 2pm Saudi time, every other time of day is averagely represented. What category of person invariably sleeps, every day of the week, between 7am and 2pm? Whatever category it is, it absolutely excludes schoolgirls.

Either a night security guard or a super hero.

Might school be in session between 7am and 2pm?

Seven days a week, and no then pattern at all for sleeping? I think not. That's a sleep pattern.

My money's on Night auditor - not far off my initial guess of accountant.

I often use various user names on different sites but I'm always the same personality, I think. People who employ differing personae apparently believe there is an advantage to doing so or they wouldn't do it. I don't know what advantage they think that might be though. Any ideas?

Phrases that indicate middle aged vocabulary:

"take jabs at"

"one can be glued to their family forever"

"learning to stand on their own two feet and fend for themselves"

"Not everyone is cut out to be..."

"I have to 'chart my own course' so to speak"

"my entire future is dangling on a precipice"

"they tie in with that"

"if push comes to shove"

"I always rein in my emotions"

"swept under the carpet"

"there's also something to be said about little things"

Something to be said, indeed. Cut out? Glued? To foreigners who don't speak English natively, these expressions are confusing yet seem to flow off dear MilkMoon's tongue. I think "she" can fend for herself, alright. I've also decided I agree with FG that it is a man.

There's no question in my mind about this person not being a teenager.

There is one exception to that.

I'm up for the challenge to see how much info we can derive.

I noticed that two of the last three posts switched to different providers, can't remember the time stamps on how fast he got to entirely different internet sources but will look into it later.

I also looked into why people pretend to be young girls and apparently it's an addiction for some. Some of the people in a makeshift support group have up to four different personae that they maintain simultaneously. They'll even fall in love with someone of the same gender who was really kind to them though the poser isn't necessarily gay or bi. It seems that the addiction lies in either laughing their ass off at sympathizers or enjoying the attention and affection showered on them by those that buy the story.

It's interesting, the extent to which a person will go to if it feels threatened.
