What is it?
Years ago when I used to use the dating sites for dating, I had quite a few dates. I never had a bad experience unless you count boredom on a date a bad experience. I had a few of those. But I also had a lot of very fun dates and really never disliked any of the girls I met. A few became good friends over the years. There was some romance here and there, but I’m not easy to warm up to and I have a standoffish personality with women so I never let them get too close. Eventually, the ones who are interested in me give up.
But there were a couple of things that happened during my dating site extravaganza that were particularly memorable.
The first one happened I’m going to say maybe 7-10 years ago, I don’t remember exactly. It was on MD. Some here will know what that is.
I got a very strange message from a woman who claimed to be a matchmaker for celebrities and she said she had a client interested in meeting me. My first reaction was yeah right. I mean I am about the last person a scammer would ever want to waste their time on. I was sure it was a scam.
So she asked if we could talk on the phone and she would tell me more. As skeptical as I was, I was still intrigued, so I told her okay provided I can call her instead of her calling me. And I asked her to be sure to give me her office number so I can look it up and trace it to her business. She did! I did! It was! I was shocked at that point. In fact that number was registered to a dating agency that specializes in finding dates for celebrities. And I even went on their website and saw a profile of this woman that contacted me there. Couldn’t believe it was legit.
So anyway I called her and she told me something about this woman including a basic physical description but could not reveal anything that would identify her because she would have to remain anonymous until we met. That was the rule. It would be a blind date. Hmmmmmmm. I don’t do blind dates, but I didn’t say anything. She said she was a very well known actress who had homes in both New York, and California and was taking a break in between sessions shooting a movie overseas. I mean if I didn’t know this woman was legit, I wouldn’t have believed a word I was hearing.
So I asked her why this woman wanted to meet me. She said she thought I was attractive and liked the things I said. Okay now I was REALLY suspicious! ;-)
So I told her that I wanted to think it over and would get back to her. I thought it over and decided not to do it. I just couldn’t get passed the blind date thing. She would know what I look like and something about me, but I knew pretty much nothing about her. That just made me uncomfortable.
I still don’t regret it, but I do wonder, every time I think about it who it was. I will never know...
Okay the second story.
I was on another dating site. Can’t remember which one it was. This girl had something in her profile that caught my attention and I wrote her a short note to comment on it. She didn’t have a picture posted in her profile, and in those days that was a no go for me as far as dating because it was just a waste of time if I met someone and wasn’t physically attracted to her.
Her name was Kitty.

Do you want or need a man in your life? Why do men feel like they have been insulted when I say I want a man in my life but don't need one? Surely they would be happy that I was with them because I wanted to be with them and not because I needed to be.

Has its share of drawbacks.
This journalist gave viewers a little bit more than they expected during an at-home news broadcast.
Alfonso Merlos from Spain was broadcasting a segment for a local news show, Estado de Alarma, when a half-naked woman – who it later transpired wasn’t his girlfriend – made a surprise appearance, People reports.

Cant get anyone from this site till now..i understand online dating site is not a good option cuz people dont want to migerate ( specialy in case of India) and even dont want to try for an Indian..but seriously not a single person in 10 years after being visited my profile 38471 times..Seriously!
I can fall in love in a second, but mostly get to know the person, I'm attracted to, better. I'm in love at present, with the drop of a coin in a fountain. He's absolutely adorable.

Simple fact... ALL dating sites have scammers with fraudulent profiles.
Some sites have more than others and I believe it's related to management, because they don't have the staff to monitor activity. That means, all of them rely on the members to report scammers or fakes...
In a world of 'self service' they do nothing until someone tells them something is wrong.
Not so much on Connecting Singles, because they often delete bogus profiles within a few days, where other sites only only respond to reports when an administrator gets around to it and that's not too often. Sadly, one of my favorite places had a scammer using a stolen photo of a pornstar that I blogged about her anniversary being there. I must have reported that one 15 times including the site where the photo was stolen from!
I see a new profile appear yesterday that has a warning to women. It's a man in the photo and the profile is warning women of a profile using that photo. Unfortunately, the person trying to be helpful has the wrong gender. They should have created a profile of a man so it comes up on the correct search for women.
Anyway, it's a rainy morning and I have a few minutes to do a Public Service Announcement (PSA) and entertain you with some scammers I have found.
