Hi,
Thank you for your message. The thing is I get suspicous everytime I get a message asking my email in a first message because it always turn out that the person is a scammer. Been here for 4 years and met number of scammers, 2 from them are from UK. *they both are from UK*
Now, do you have any link online where I could read something about you and validate that you are a real person? I'd love to get to know you more too.
Let's see whether they will reply me or not.

Matchmakers Anonymous
My name is Elegsabiff, and I am a matchmaker. I talk to a woman in Gotham City, she seems nice, I suggest a man in Metropolis. They are both horrified but surely, surely, both single and in the same country, they need someone to point out that they are both single and in the same country? On a social website. Where every time we log in we are presented with every single of the opposite sex within 500 miles.
Oh. Right.
I see a man giving advice to a woman on a blog, and I leap in to suggest they should be together - oh no, hang on, that's why I'm here. To learn it is NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
This is hard. Bring me coffee!

Getting Married.
It would appear that less and less people still get married today, opting rather to live together ‘in sin’. 
That piece of paper that states that you are now husband and wife seems to count for very little lately.
A child with a surname different to the mother or father no longer carries a stigma as before. The legal aspects of such a ‘partnership’, which is all that marriage really is, can easily be arranged with a contract similar to a normal prenuptial contract.
Then have one hellava big party and you may kiss the non-bride!
Another step in human evolution; man and wife no longer form permanent bonds as they used to.
Mind you, it is very good for our genetic pool when men and women have children from various partners. I know somebody who has five children with four different fathers; and she was married to all at some stage or another.
So why get married? If you really want so much trouble – buy yourself a used Alfa Romeo!
Stay loose; don’t worry – be happy!

I hope you have many more! Enjoy "your day"!!!Relationships and Algorithms
Many dating sites use mathematical algorithms to match people. And charge a lot of money for this service.
However, according to an article I recently read in the Washington Post, they are no better than random choice.
Why? Because they match basically on personality.
But studies have shown that people of similar personalities in long term relationships only make up 0.5% of the total, so basing a match on similar personalities is doomed to failure.
Relationship success basically depends on three things:
1. Individual characteristics - like whether you’re smart or what kinds of hang-ups you have around relationships
2. Quality of interaction - how you hit it off in-person;
3. Surrounding circumstances — stuff like your race or health or financial status.
(Finkel et al)
I was watching a series recently called Married at First Sight, where couples are matched scientifically by a panel.
4 couples were matched. They met for the first time at the altar. One couple had an obvious instant attraction to each other. All couples liked each other. They were well matched.
Fast forward 6 months. The only couple still together was the one who were instantly attracted to each other. The rest liked each other as friends only.
Maths and science can do so much, but nothing can account for that 'je ne sais quoi' or chemistry between people

Recognise anyone?
It’s just a bit of fun, not looking to offend anyone, but have you ever spotted one or more of these female single types? I think there are a couple missing 
The guys on the other hand seem to boil down to two types, flirts or not flirts . . .
• The Onlooker – intrigued by what everyone else is up to, quick to give her opinion, coy about her own agenda. Most Onlookers put their status as ‘in a relationship’ or ‘not available’. In their bio they say things like Not looking Not looking although some opt for putting their age as 99 and insist they are looking for older men only. Onlookers can be drawn into public flirtation. They give advice, and it is often worth reading.
• The Spiritual Soul – searching for love, but not just on the coarse physical plane. She seeks a soulmate, and wanders along the beaches (they nearly all live on beaches) thinking beautiful thoughts which she turns into poetry. She has frequent affairs which end when the potential soulmate would rather turn on the telly or go out for a pint than read yet another poem, and she realizes sadly that he is too of the earth to be The One. He is hustled out the door, immortalized in a poignant and regretful poem, and then forgotten.
• The Incorrigible Flirt – she’s naughty and fun, with a teasing word for everyone, scattering lavish compliments and flirting outrageously. She’s not going to settle down in a hurry – and she very rarely meets up, either, although there is always at least one meet-up imminent.
• The Hardboiled Egg – hardly counts as a single because she never, ever meets anyone. She complains there are no real men left, certainly none in her locality, and deletes private messages instantly because all messages are ipso facto from scammers.
She makes disparaging comments in the public forums but gives good advice
• The Upgrader describes herself as single, but coyly admits in her first or second private message that she is in fact in a relationship / marriage but it isn’t working out.
• The Pragmatist is perhaps the most honest of all. She wants a better life for herself, preferably marriage, and is offering good company and that she will look after her man. Most of them are in poorer countries and with limited English but to judge by the blogs, the men who accept that offer and import a Pragmatist are pleased enough. However, many who look like Pragmatists are of course scammers. It is a very fine line to define. Be warned, too, gents, that genuine Pragmatists often turn fairly promptly into Upgraders.
• The Nut – phew, how to define a nut? She starts off seeming sensible but scratch the surface and the lunacy bubbles up. Nuts range from quirky to full-blown fruitcake. The Fruitcake is scary - some are sensible in the mornings, wildly erratic in the evenings. Some become demanding, attack other women on the forums, publicly insult men who have backed away, take the mildest remark as either a deadly insult or a heartfelt declaration, and appear in every shape and form. They get weirder and weirder until the website managers delete their profiles.
A little bit of nut in everyone is a Good Thing. You can have too much of a Good Thing, though.
This is for fun - be nice

well THAT's a relief
Madonna is 55. Her boyfriend is 22.
Tina Turner is 75, her boyfriend is 40.
JLO is 42, her boyfriend is 26.
Mariah Carey is 44, her husband is 32
Still single? relax. Your boyfriend is not born yet.
Actually I got the above from an email joke, I have no idea whether those ages are true. And the ladies do have one other thing in common, they are all rich and famous. That might help.
Go out there and make lots of money, ladies, while you are waiting for Mr Right to be potty-trained.

Why do women like bad men?
Why are so many women attracted to bad men?
Hybristophilia is a paraphilia in which s*xual arousal, facilitation, and attainment of o*gasm are responsive to and contingent upon being with a partner known to have committed an outrage, cheating, lying, known infidelities or crime, such as rape, murder, or armed robbery. (Wikipedia)
High profile criminals always get fan mail and female admirers and Ted Bundy got thousands of love letters while in jail and let’s not forget about the Charles Manson groupies.
I have personally met a few women who are with total bastards, violent and domineering that treat them like trash.
I’ve also noticed a lot of you CS ladies flocking towards complete trolls and obviously sexist morons
Is it because you think you can change them? Do you think they are seen as protectors?
It’s your turn ladies; enlighten us good men...
