Yes, 'Monsieur Verdoux' is based on a true story. It was inspired by the case of Henri Désiré Landru, a French serial killer. Landru lured women through lonely hearts ads during World War I, then killed them for their money. The movie uses this real - life horror as a basis, but also adds its own elements of dark humor and social commentary. Charlie Chaplin, who played Verdoux, used this true story to create a complex character that made the audience question their own morality and the nature of society.
Well, in the real story that inspired 'Monsieur Verdoux', it was mainly about the crimes committed by a certain individual. But in the movie, there is more of an exploration of the character's psyche. The real - life criminal was just a cold - blooded killer, while in the movie, Verdoux is presented as a man who has his own justifications in his mind for his actions. Also, the movie may have changed some of the specific details of how the victims were targeted and killed to fit the narrative and the overall tone it was aiming for.
A pof scary story could involve a vengeful spirit in a forest. People who entered the forest at night reported seeing a glowing figure that seemed to be chasing them. It was said that a long time ago, a hunter was killed unjustly in that forest and his spirit remained restless. Also, there's the story of a possessed doll. The doll's eyes seemed to follow people around the room, and it would move on its own when no one was looking.
One POF love story could be about a couple who met on Plenty of Fish. They started chatting casually, found out they had a shared love for hiking. They went on a hike together as their first date and discovered they were both very passionate about nature conservation. This common interest deepened their bond and they are now happily in a relationship.
The length of POF stories really depends. Generally, they range from short pieces that you can finish quickly to longer ones that might take some time to get through. It often depends on the genre and the author's style.
A common one is catfishing. People use fake pictures and false information to attract others. Another is people being overly pushy on the first date, like trying to kiss or get too physical too soon. And some users experience dates who talk only about themselves and show no interest in getting to know the other person.
One horror story is when a guy on POF said he was single but turned out to be married. He lied about his relationship status just to have some extra flirting. Another is a girl who met a guy who seemed nice at first but during the date, he started making really inappropriate and rude comments about other people in the restaurant. It was so embarrassing.
There are those who met on POF and overcame long - distance challenges. For example, a woman from the East Coast and a man from the West Coast. They initially connected over their shared interest in music. Despite the distance, they made efforts to visit each other regularly. Their love endured and they got married, now living happily in a new city.
I'm not entirely sure if there's an official way to directly skip the hot story in GW2 PoF. However, you could try checking online forums dedicated to Guild Wars 2. Maybe some experienced players have found workarounds or glitches that might allow for skipping, but this might also be against the game's terms of use.
