RE: The inadequate quest of the hurting woman.

There is no God . God is an invention of humans which is just another tool often used to control subjugate others both men and women ....get therapy psychological help if you have issues because religion is all about subjugation of women especially and I mean Christian Muslim Judaism Hinduism all treat women as inferior to men which we are not . Knowledge education is where the answers lie, not airy fairy nonsense about a god that does not exist .

RE: 6 Texts You Shouldn’t Reply To

each situation can be different, a demanding job that does not allow for phone conversations etc, but overall under the most general circumstances, the advice is to not support lazy communication. the world has changed with technology and became lazy to communicate the natural way.

RE: Get More Views to Your Profile

To anyone who listens carefully,
There's alot of nice women on here,
the exception of those who tell you they are in a different city while you're talking to her on this dating site?
Then when you're texting her she doesn't say where she is until you run her # number, and tell her number is a landline, in a different state where she didn't tell you from the beginning?frustrated confused

RE: 4 Rules For Online Dating

In regards to # 2. Talking on the phone is required.

Well, I was the (non successful) target of a scam some years ago. The girl - who I had many conversations with on the site - actually called me. We talked on 2 or 3 occasions and it all seemed honest / real - but of course when the conversation turned towards her sick mother needing money, I sensed fish in the smell. I googled her email adress and found there had been a LOT of people falling for the scam - and who had actually SENT money. And - felt like suckers afterwards of course. I'm just writing this to say that IF a person talks to you on the phone - it can STILL be a scam.

RE: 4 Rules For Online Dating

First of all if you give somebody your email you have allowed them to access a lot of personal info about you. If they are a scammer they can access your financial resources, medical info, where you exactly live or work, and further go into your family info.Think about it for a while, how much info do you want out on the net about you? Also, if you have a cell phone be very careful giving out a cell number is even worse, get yourself a "burn" phone, it is much harder to track personal info and no I am not a scammer. I work for a Federal Law firm and be careful out there.

RE: Scam Baiting.

Hello everyone, please forgive me for my spelling since originally I’m from Africa. Please don’t think I’m one of the scammer. I came across lost of them in different websites. The sad thing is now days they tells you they’re in USA, England, etc and will send you different nice and very attractive pictures at different backgrounds and at different angles to assure you they are really etc....I never send any from them I keep them busy for a little while then I games up!

RE: How to Deal With Shyness

I’m very shy when it comes to approaching a woman that I find attractive. I fear the rejection and get embarrassed if she says she is not interested and think maybe there is something wrong with me. I have been like this from a very young age. How do I overcome this?

RE: Why are scammers the most polite and complimentary?

Last and first scammer I have met here was from US (was telling this) and said is working now in Africa!
Of course many compliments every day, after 3 days he already loved me.
One day he pretended he got an email from his bank that his account are blocked because he was divorcing.
And he acted like he is in shock, panic and asked me to send him cash "only 2000 Euro".
He promised he will give back as soon as possible as he has to pay salary to his workers.
Of course "he was a businessman having own bussines" and also this account was blocked.
After I said "NO. SORRY" He became very angry, agressive, and started to offend me".
I have never seen him in real (on video etc) only photos ...

RE: Why are scammers the most polite and complimentary?

Scammers get into your head,showering you with flattery and compliments to gain your trust.Once they see that you have succumb to their " flattery and "fake" attention, and gained your trust by telling you " so much about themselves" All lies of course. Then comes the first part of the scam. They tell you things like their baby sister needs surgery but the family cant afford it.Or they have a "friend" who is in trouble and asked them for financial help but as" they "dont make much money , they are unable to help their "desperate friend".
Hoping to appeal to you as their compassionate good friend to stump up and send money to a PO Box in Tunisia, Ghana , Ivory Coast etc etc.
Another one is that the would love to visit you. They will claim to have been to your country before , but of course they are strapped for cash.
Another scam is pretending to be in the Military or they are Bank Manager.(why would a bank manager be offering you a job via a date site ?.Go figure it out.
They lying , scamming slugs out to decieve you and con you out of money.So no matter how much they flatter you, write you gushy poems and declare their " fake love" for you. Take it like you would dog sh*t on your shoe.Cause these con artists are lower than a snails A*s..Word of advice. Dont get involved. Preventions better than cure.

RE: Finding Meaning in Life

Different people have different purposes in life but in the end I think it's all a useless illusion & we struggle for nothing; but anyway, there's nothing we can do about it - we are stuck on this planet & have to live the life we have.

RE: Do you speak dog?

I think anyone who spends a lot of time with their dog develops a deep understanding between each other .....not necessarily with words or sounds but often a dog expresses it's feeling by it's eyes and of course body language and yes dogs will try to make a sound if they want your attention urgently like to go outside to the toilet . The longer you spend alone with your dog the deeper the connection . Dogs are truly our best friend .

RE: Why are scammers the most polite and complimentary?

Very true. And they NEVER answer your questions.

One that I received ask me if I studied literature, because I write like a poet or author. That triggered my antenna. She never answered my questions but always asking me. The next thing, she asked for my WhatsApp number. So I ask her if she wanted my account number too? And that was the last I heard of her.

RE: Why Long Distance Relationships are Doomed to Fail

It take two to tango..as the saying goes...

It's has worked for many of my friends who are happily married and living overseas and they celebrate more than a decade of marriage...

It's in the man's hand as they go looking for a somethings quick and then intimacy too plays a roll LDR who lives across thousands of miles can't be able to do that... BUT that's the best relationship as you have a great foundation and then comes the happy hour intimacy to play and yes that's a bonus... But some woman and men jump out of their relationship way too soon... And that exactly where they find the wrong kind partner...you will be even married but in time they keep looking for something else and then your back in the same position.

A decade I was a single never dated nor had any form of relationship with a gentleman...but I was pressured by my friends and I finally agreed and came in to this site... Was never active... But open my self to the world nearly two months now and there were more than 1200 response from gentleman even without a my pictures... But was not my choice and ignored and last June nearly end of the month a picture popped up on my matches and the very moment I saw it I had this feeling this is it...and I kept looking at the picture and I read him and what I could gather from the image was we both were looking for the same thing and once and for all... So twice I ignored it but then I realized if I don't go a step toward to find my partner he might not know I exist as I didn't have a picture... So I did the ultimate and wrote to himself and he wrote back we communicated few days on site. He kept sending his number to be contacted one to one still I insist that we write on our personal email...and then I shared and image of mine after few day.. And finally we were chatting on what'sapp...then he wanted to talk I was shy as I have not done this in ages... But after few days we spoke to...we liked each other and week passed we were like teenagers... But two weeks to it I started senses his eagerness dropping even though he still wanted to come see me...and then came with the ultimate words ...and even when I reminded him that those words should not be said easily...I wore pressistantly confirming...and current day he is extremely missed on my what'sapp account... I wanted to on one to one so if there are things to discuss and matter around we find method & ways to handle the situation.. But nothing.... So I am back in my little world... Knowing finding true love is difficult and it take a great deal for the gentleman...if you need intimacy within weeks then it's something build on that activity...you will put up with that person for some time due to the greed and fun your having...but there comes a day you two will seek others and get board...
My personal statement is Long distance relationship CAN work... But you should be committed and dedicated to your goal and not deviate from temptations.... If my friend who I was talking realize that reckless he puts him self to find someone quick near by will have a good chance but the other partner too be having the same appetite for intimacy... Heart aches are bound to happen there and cheating... Loyalty is limited to short time span...
I wish him good luck...as for me I want to meet people as pen pals now.. I don't want to go finding love because I know exactly what it is that I want it it's no longer with me.....

peace

RE: Scams Aimed at Seniors and How to Avoid them

Scamming? What a nice polite way to write theft or premeditated organized crime.

Let me let you in on a not so well known fact about internet scams; a large aspect of it is highly organized and well structured including untracible bank accounts and multiple players. By that I mean you are often not dealing with a single thief. In one sitting I have dealt with up to 6, with each one being more intelligent and better versed in grammar and manipulation techniques.

Often from day to day you may be chatting / texting with a different thief. How would you know who you are texting? You just think you know.

These turds should either be included in the terrorist act or treated like the criminals they are.

Just recently the number of premeditated thieves contacting me on CS has gone through the roof, at least 5 per day. I could leave but stuff it, why should I? Besides they are now everywhere, on every chat or dating site.

For anyone contacting me on CS I have one standard reply:

"So far 99% of those who contact me on this site have been scammers and liars but more importantly total time wasters. If this accurately describes you trust me when I say you will get not one thing from me no matter what your sob story and to date I have pretty much heard them all.

Bottom line is if you are not willing to show your face on cam (to which I will naturally reciprocate once I see you actually are who you allegedly claim to be) then we have no more to say to each other.

d*ck"

That does not imply nor does it indicate that you can automatically trust some one who is willing to show their face on cam; far from it. (It does weed them out though.)

I have chatted on cam recently with 2 different females whose faces matched their profiles and both requested I send them money for some reason or another; rent, a new phone, plane fare so they could come visit.

Bottom line, if someone contacts you on the internet or smart phone, accept, not assume, accept they are a scammer until they prove them selves otherwise. And even then, don't send them money. That's just stupid.

RE: Scam Profile Red Flags

One thing I have learned women are mainly doing scams for money on connecting singles then men, 1 is when a women gives you her number and the area code is not where she says she lives most likely scam. I have also learned while you are texting and its going so well then suddenly she ask you to send her 100 bucks please I need help with my bills or then new ones are she is taking care of her grandmother or father but she sends you some pics of her and a old women together that's B.S.. The other new ones are you get a text from her and she says( Hi is there a Walmart around where you live, can you get me a gift card I need it for a App for my phone like some game Candy Crush or she says I need more minutes for my phone so we can keep texting. She will also say some crap like don't forget the gift receipt or regular receipt just in case the card is no good she just want to return it for cash. Another way to know you are talking with a scamming women is to ask her if its ok that we talk now then suddenly she does nt respond to you there is a chance she is nt even a she she is a dude.. But a few hours later you get a text , How was your day or how are you doing like you never ask her to call you or call her.. Also another way to tell she is scamming is you get texts like at 5am or 4am really in the morning she will say I am sorry I fell asleep really early I was taking care of my grandmother B.S she is trying to keep up with all her marks. So as she says can you do me a favor, she is scamming and blow it off right then and there. Years ago before smart phones got really huge you could actually meet a honest women on connecting singles for a relationship.

RE: 4 Signs You’re Dating A Father Figure

Absolute Tosh!
Completely unauthenticated, opinionated, unfounded, superficial, misguided. criminal.
1. Unauthenticated: no case studies, no peer review, no supporting evidence,
2. Opinionated: ‘Reasons 2., 3., and 4., are founded on the same premise ‘A father is (naturally older than, and is therefore) a controlling factor in the life of a child’ ergo a significant age difference in an adult relationship is a replication if a parent/child situation and is therefore a negative experience.
Opinionated: A classic stereotypical arguement formulated by societies through the ages.
Unfounded: No evidence, no case studies, no peer review, no supporting evidence.
Superficial:
Misguided:
Criminal: A person was rewarded for producing a worthless comment and some person agreed to publish it.

CS you could do so much better, if you tried. Maybe.

RE: 7 Signs You're Being Catfished

Just google some of these and read the comments. Also,Vidio chat is easy,I have 3 different ones on my phone. It is not hard to remember how to defuse these people. Just use your commen SENCE . Yes,born here,raised here in USA and I still misspel some words..I do NOT use any social media sites,as years ago tried to,in box loaded every day from people I did not know,and there are scammers on them also..Have a nice day and good luck!

RE: Scam Baiting.

Hi..
I actually set up a old computer because he said his was messed up and he need one for work..
I pretended it was mine and that I was going to work... And called the police and we sat there and watched him get on other sites and try to scam women out of money..
So he used a nice photo very handsome man and even was sending more like he just took them
Claiming to be off working and needed a prepaid card until he got paid the next day..
Of course I never sent anything but my thoughts I kept him pretty busy for at least a week up to this point..
That may have saved a person from getting scammed
had his exact location and IP adress and it was sad that they cant do anything about it
That needs to change! Thanks for sharing
