Title: Duped Pdf Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married

Abby Ellin's writing is everything her fiancé pretended to be: witty, vulnerable, brave, smart, and honest.―Michael Finkel, author of the National Bestseller, The Stranger in the Woods"Candid and entertaining, Ellin's book offers insight into the socially and psychologically complex nature of deceit as well as the choices she made as a duped woman.

Abby Ellin was shocked to learn that her fiancé was leading a secret life. But as she soon discovered, the world is full of people who aren't what they seem.

From Abby Ellin's first date with the Commander, she was caught up in a whirlwind. Within six months he'd proposed, and they'd moved in together. But soon, his exotic stories of international espionage began to unravel. Finally, it all became clear: he was lying about who he was.

After leaving him and sharing her story, she was floored to find out that her experience was far from unique. People everywhere, many of them otherwise sharp-witted and self-aware, are being deceived by their loved ones every day.

In Duped, Abby Ellin studies the art and science of lying, talks to people who've had their worlds upended by duplicitous partners, and writes with great openness about her own mistakes. These remarkable stories reveal how often we encounter people whose lives beneath the surface are more improbable than we ever imagined.

Loved this Book!!! Abby Ellin is an amazing story teller! Hey, we all get duped (some of us do the duping) ....I couldn't put this book down! Somehow she makes it seem all okay in the end and to just trust your gut when you think it may be happening to you!why? because they can The author, Abby Ellin, has been romantically duped by a con man. Somehow a nebbish looking James Bond type character was able to topple her hard question asking inquisitive nature and fool her. The author wrote an article about her experience for Psychology Today and from the number of responses the article got she decided to explore how and why people con each other and why people fall for it. Having interviewed a few such con men the reasons range from "I did it for a cause bigger than myself" ( animal rights activist), for fun, for the excitement, for money, for sex, etc. In other words as many explanations as there are people. Several psychologists are quoted with such insights as " some people don't feel things" as in your suffering doesn't register, it's irrelevant. They just don't care if people's lives are ruined aka Bernie Madoff. Then to top it off the author falls for another lying loser! Because, once you have been duped you are actually easier to fool a second time! hahah Several places in the book the author bemoans the fact that victims are often blamed as much if not more than the con man is. I suppose it's hard to admit that they enjoyed the fantasy too, so the 'little things they brushed aside" didn't register. I didn't finish the book, I read about 75% of it. I felt the book was one long narrative to try to explain to you why she and others get fooled but it falls short. In fact I don't think there is any answer beyond "because they could" . The only people I would feel compassion for are the young who get fooled. Having less life experience does make you more open.Riveting Read--and Chock Full of Information Even if you've never been duped, you've got to wonder about what motivates those conmen and why anyone would fall for their antics. Well, wonder no more. This is no con when i tell you that Ellin is a witty and smart writer. You'll be gripped by the narrative and intrigued by the science of it all.
