Yeah, sounds totally ridiculous. The PMs were pretty creepy and he went into detail about it.
Apparently he's actually a woman, named Carol, and a psychologist, who wanted to do a long-term study on online relationships. He... or she would get a male colleague to call Mywi during their relationship
He decided to tell Marius for some reason, but had no plans to tell anyone else.
It sounds like a joke, really. I think he got bored one day so he decided to troll Marius.

Yeah, possibly. Whoever they are, they're really ****ing creepy. O__O He just told Marius about it, talked over PMs with me and him, and then said he was leaving.
That's crappy. I thought Moose was unoffensive. I didn't care that he lied, either, as most people do it on first dates, on resumes, etc. He came clean so that's all that mattered, imo.

I would love to say I can't believe that, but when he and I were having our 'thing', whatever it was, he wouldn't talk to me on the phone. Makes a lot of sense actually 😂

I think if what he said is true it's pretty ****ed up. It's not exactly ethical for a psychology study.
He said that the feelings of Mywi and Syren were taken into consideration, and that he chose people who were far away and strong-willed, that would likely break it off to ~seek more suitable relationships nearer to them~
Absolutely it's ****ed up. I'd love to read the book though.

I'm pretty outspoken for how lame some "lab" controlled studies are. I'm all about getting into the field and observing the "animals" in their native environment.

Sounds like this person was a douche instead of a researcher.
