First of all... Walk me through this. You woke up today and thought, "I'm going to sign up to a British student website aimed mostly at the 16-21 year old population. They'll probably be able to help me figure out my decades long Islamic marriage."

Is that about the size of it? Did I miss anything?
New account and first post...smells slightly trollish to me.

I have a 'Is this fake?' algorithm I run through my head whenever I see one of these sorts of posts:

1) Is this either anonymous or the first post someone has had? (+10 fake points)
2) Does this include salacious and lurid details? (+10 fake points)
3) Is it a question that no 16-21 year old could conceivably answer because of its highly specialized nature? (+10 fake points)

Answers:
0 Fake Points - Congratulations! It's either not fake or so average that it sounds like something that could conceivably true. Well done!
10 Fake Points - Probably fake. Not eye-rollingly fake, but fake enough that I don't believe it's real. Especially if there's no reason to be anonymous.
20 Fake Points - Eye rollingly fake. I sigh dramatically upon reading it and probably make fun of it if I have the time and inclination.
30 Fake Points - I will do something like post this algorithm and answer key.

Wow!! That point system is wayyy too much work for me hahaha, I just have a troll antenna that I pass over the account and if it twitches then I know something might be up.

That makes perfect sense. You signed up for The Student Room and didn't realize it would be for people who are overwhelmingly of student age.
