When I think of "You don't look like your father" actress Liv Rundgren aka Liv Tyler comes to mind. Her mother Bebe Buell had a brief relationship with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler distanced by his drug addictions and had been living with Musician Todd Rundgren.
Liv always thought Todd was her biological father.
About 10 years later Liv met Steven and noticed their resemblance. Her mother later confirmed her suspicion.
Okay, so everyone became rich and famous and life moves on...

That doesn't always happen that way as some suspicions that are confirmed by DNA testing often have negative consequences. If you've seen episodes of Maury Povich or Dr. Phil you know what I'm talking about.
Typical scenario: She's a Baby-Mama looking to find who the real daddy is. The 3 guys she's been shacking up with all took DNA tests. The reveal is explosive!

Maury, Maury, Maury...

Here's one where two women claim the same man fathered their children and he denied their accusations.

You cannot give what is already broken to someone else thats inside you.................. its yours to heal first only you can accomplish this yourself....

While watching some 'how to avoid car repair ripoffs' videos, I came across an episode of the TV show 60 minutes, about Nigerian scammers and how successful they really are.

This episode was based in Australia and Rosalee a woman gave $90,000 as a loan to a man she met online via photos but never met in-person. In addition to the loan, she incurred another $15,000 in phone calls.

She believes he will repay the loan.
Her brother sought the help of professional investigators. They traced the money trail to Malaysia. They created a reverse sting to scam the scammer and were able to nab the scammer and his accomplices. His phone had her number and 81 other Australian women he had been scamming.

They go to Malaysian prison then deportation back to Nigeria.


"He promised me absolutely a new life"

After telling Rosalee the outcome of the scam, she returns to the computer to find another guy. The investigators research him and he too is a scammer.

"Nobody buys me a drink... that's the whole problem"

I've always been suspicious when several new members from the same country show up on the same day. That used to happen with women in the Philippines. I learned they didn't have internet access and several would gather at the cafe, pool their money to buy online time and create a bunch of profiles in one session.

Fraud is a bigger part of dating sites with many local scammers, so one doesn't have to travel far to find a fake profile.

Tipping the scale in Connecting Singles this week happens to be an overflow of new profiles from Kenya. Nairobi being the main city listed. In a 24 hour period, I counted 37 female members from Nairobi and 13 from other cities like Mombasa. I suspect the 'energy' creating 50 of these profiles isn't coming from 50 real members. I'd wager it's only one or a small connected (scammer) group.

It's doubtful the average CS user is seeking a mate from Africa, but it casts doubt on every new profile here including the ones that pass as the 'girl next door' with no suspicious details.

Overall, I've noticed more than a few dozen of the profiles I reported that were obvious fakes haven't been deleted. It's been happening a few months now. A few are actively checking in but most are dormant. I think the trick on another site was to change/lock the password so the scammer couldn't get back in and the profile stayed in the listing. The reason for that is membership kept growing. If the moderator deleted al the bogus profiles, half the site would be gone!

Nairobi... we've got 'em

First impressions count…but not always.

My initial impression of CS was that it was just another dating site, like most of the others (e.g. Badoo and Christian Dating, etc), but that was before I took the time to peruse some of the various ‘activities’ it offers to members/visitors here. Delving deeper into what was available and realising that there was a ‘community’ of active members who had established friendships and still communicated with each other regularly (some for many years), helped change my mind about it.

The thing is that, had I not made an effort at ‘getting to know more about CS’, my first impression of it may have caused me to look elsewhere for what I was initially looking for. Thankfully, I found more by not doing so. With dating, as with anything else, one may rely mainly upon one’s instinct and initial visual/physical reaction, especially when choosing who may be the ‘ideal’ match…sadly, that isn’t always enough.

His/her first impression may not be impressive enough to suit your taste (and vice versa), but that shouldn’t be a reason to dismiss him/her. Perhaps he/she just wasn’t having a good day when you approached, so why not offer a second chance…doesn’t everyone deserve it?

I don't have the time right n ow to relate the tale of an idiot family member who did da filthy and was Blackmailed by a Thai hooker.
I will later.
Never do anything which someone may claim is illegal.
They will definitely play the underage card.
If you are in FLA you will wind up under that Pedo bridge.
Fair warning.

Life is generally about relationships and how we navigate in and around them. There’s no avoiding everyday social interactions, so it’s really nice when they’re pleasant, loving, memorable, or positive in any other way. And, it’s natural to want to be a part of a relationship that could fulfil your needs in an holistic manner. That is, one that’s a blessing to you emotionally, mentally, physically/sexually and also spiritually.

Even the world’s wealthiest or most successful beings yearn for such a relationship, and they too know that money could only buy them so much (the illusion of happiness doesn’t last very long, nor does very much to mask the truth). Hence the frequent search for a friend, lover, companion, etc. is a universal one.

There’s a local Trini saying that “every bread has it’s cheese”, with some variants to that adding “stale" after ‘bread’ and even “rotten” after ‘cheese’(). Bread and cheese go together to make a pretty decent sandwich (especially when you add mayo, a slice of tomato, and some cayenne pepper to spice things up). The saying’s rough translation is that there’s someone for everyone. The problem with that, if it’s true, seems to be 1. How do I find my ‘cheese’ and, 2. Where is he located? But, that’s only if the saying is true.

What if we’ve met before and dismissed each other, does that mean that we’ll spend the rest of our life searching in vain? What if we live on opposite ends of the earth and never leave our respective end, how would we ever fulfil our destiny? Is that why some of us continually get married (then divorced), until we could find our designated ‘cheese’? Well, whether you’re the ‘bread’ or the ‘cheese’, the search in on-going.

Many of the CS population came here with the intention of doing just that. Some have succeeded, some are still on the hunt, and others may have moved on to other pursuits. This month marks the end of a year of searching for my ‘cheese’ on here, with no success. I’ve chatted with a few, was propositioned by at least 5, but haven’t said ‘yes’ to any. But then, none of them seemed to be my ‘cheese’. To be true, a few were just too cheesy!

Anyhoo, as I contemplate my future in this regard, I wonder if my very own chunk of cheese is still out there somewhere….

I am again tired of CS and people with narrow minds on the forum.
I will probably leave soon. Again.
I might come back if something drastic happens in the world.


I could write a profile text omitting things that probably would be not popular with most women. But I have done internet dating before and it is not in our best interest, trust me.
After a couple of years of me trying to please my women I brake of the relationship for a reason or another. I have learned that people never change to the better but the opposite.
As a child I preferred to stay with my self and did not like to play typical boy stuff. I learned to read and write long before schooling and read a lot of books. Even boring books cover to cover like the bible. I always read with criticism and tried to find out more info before believing anything. I still do.
Now as an adult I am a bit different then most. I am not religious. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs or drink coffee. I talk a lot when meting people and say what I think wich is not always popular. How ever I prefer not to socialize. I rather stay home. I have traveled to many countries but no I prefer not to. I do not like shopping, walking, biking and cultural stuff. I like to watch TV but only sports, history, science and science-fiction. I like to play Backgammon and Chess. I do not care about my image, so I will never buy unnecessary stuff, like new cars. I will never live in an apartment or in a city. I like to live in the countryside without close neighbors. I do not cut my lawn. I prefer the will flowers instead of cut grass.
Things I will never ever do.
Jump out of an plane.
Bungyjump.
Climb high mountains.
Take a pedal bike holiday.
And one last thing. I am always right. It is a good and bad thing I know.

I am looking for a women who is not very sociable who prefer to stay home together with me. Someone who wants to live outside the city. I like others animals but prefer not to have any my self. I prefer tall and slender women but can compromise about height.
For practical reasons I prefer only someone who already lives in EU. I will gladly relocate to southern Europe. When you contact me use my name so I know you read all of this. My name is Jens
