Let's just keep things simple, of course we can explore the endless possiblities which both of us haven done, but it's not like the others really give a shyte. I reckon we might be the only ones reading each other's posts XD. I was reading a book recently on sociopaths and there was an interesting logic on the mistaken assumptions we all make of people with this anti-social personality disorder. In the book the reasearcher stated that normal people who deduce what anti-social is usually believe that it is tied in with folks who are lacking in social skills and alienate others easily and therefore are loners. But the truth is nothing is further from the truth with these types of individuals as they are always smart enough to manipulate others into thinking highly of them and mostly are successful at getting the social circle around them to view them in high regards. They even trick their victims to believing what they say despite making their victims suffer blatantly with the aformentioned victim feeling the damage to their personal and professional lives. In other words they are master manipulators at reading and misdirecting the emotions of others.

The way you have reacted to the Romeo poster was taking on a stance of assuming this individual as possibly possessing personality problems and wouldn't be someone whom you would want to associate with. My point is this poster made his intentions blatantly obvious on a public forum, so there is no hidden agenda. What we don't want to do is scare off people who are genuinely in a midlife crisis and who may need Professional help but cannot afford it. It's come down to googling your personal problems and hoping on a prayer that you may be able to find a forum or a website with useful information on how to deal with some of your problems.

On a more personal note, it seems that Western intellectuals and researchers still are stuck in the mindset of taking assumptions that certain cultures such as China, Taiwan, and other Eastern Asian countries have a lower rate of psychological disorders amongst the population. Nothing could be further from the truth in my mind. I have personally interacted and dealt with many Chinese individuals with Narcissistic or Anti-Social personalities and there was at least one that had me gaslighted (fooled) for a couple of years. I don't want to see others jumping to conclusions just because the people whom they interact with in China are not knowledgeable on certain issues. There are enough horror stories of the western/eastern marriage or business partnership that ended up on the wrong end of reciprocity for the westerner.
