Dating sites biggest complaints...

There are many dating site complaints, but of the 'top of the list' especially from women is men don't read profiles. Guys see someone attractive and immediately respond regardless what the women say in their introduction. Nearly the same subject would be men complaining about scammers. A guy could be 70, missing teeth on his photo and told (by a 25 year old) he's handsome.

My profile opening line gives a pretty clear warning and that doesn't stop me from getting messages coming from women half my age sending contact information.
Obviously, they didn't see or don't care that I'm married.

I speculate, these things are inherent in all dating sites...

In my beginning at CS I would read some, block some. More-so now I delete without reading. I offered a suggestion to have the ability to change the mark a message had been read so it appears unread. There is one site that lets the other person know if you deleted messages unread. I like that idea a lot. Let the other person know their message was deleted --- unread.

I did/do report the ones using stolen photos, hopefully they will be gone and not linger to annoy other members.

I said I would refrain from reading, writing or commenting on strongly opinionated and political blogs.
If scanning the blog header and first sentence is enough to make me shake my head, I move on. I've seen enough complaints about the high frequency of political blogs and the high frequency of defending your right on a free site to post whatever you want.
I've experienced sites that were heavily moderated and many blogs, comments and retaliation blogs disappeared in the night.

I'm always a guest here... that's how I see it. Blogging is a privilege and NOT a right. Too bad others don't see it that way. Free or not, you shouldn't be allowed to say what you want, when you want without repercussions. Need proof? Go Tweet some racial slurs and see where that gets you. I'm sure you can find private, by invitation or subscription blog sites that you can get away with 'anything goes' attitude...
Hmmm.. a topic for a different blog.

Some sites send messages when you break the rules, some close profiles. Hopefully I won't have any experience with that here. Many of my blogs are spontaneous. I read or hear things that inspire me to write. Often I jot down blog ideas on scraps of papers... sometimes unopened bills and when I get a past due notice, I realize 20+ blog ideas are scribbled on the the back of the envelope.

Blogs on CS move quickly. There is a lot of activity and a blog that I think would get little activity, gets several pages of comments and blogs that I think would do well... don't.

But that's nothing to complain about !!

Thanks for reading my blog...

No "yummy" emoticon. mumbling grin
With a larger contributing membership, it stands to reason that the blogs move faster. Like many, I ignore most of the political bs unless it affects me in some way. Otherwise, I look for those people that write blogs that interest me and are generally upbeat.
There was a guy who came on here one time and wanted to begin a relationship with me and became very upset when I refused to do so.If he would've bothered to read my profile he would've seen where I stated that I'm not looking.
interesting how CS works. wave

are "we" real here?

cheers
Bogart there maybe a real person behind the typing but are they really who they claim to be?dunno
hey Bear, wave

most are not real. most are "deplorable,", psychotics and "bots" with a political agenda.

But CS is full of real people too
Bogart Some are probably real but I'll put my money on Real Life. I've been on several social media sites in my day and to me they are all the same.
I've never cared about how 'real' people are.
If they are witty, intelligent, good writers on here, what they do in their 'real' lives when they're not on here is of no importance to me.
It is really starting to grate on me how many men do not read profiles, I wish I could limit incoming messages by states, so that I would only get messages from Colorado. I get so many messages from Maine, Florida, Texas, California,,,

I suggest they look into remedial reading classes at the local community college.
I did a poll on this. Men definitely don't read profiles maybe a few. frustrated
