I work in a company with a lot of youg ladies. Lovely girls - nice to have a chat and a smile - but a relationsip? We are from different planets. Anyway, what sort of start to the relationship would it be- They are outside my age range, they want children etc, etc - Obviously they don't read a persons profile and respect it.
Correct. What you are describing are the people who PRETEND to be young women looking for love, to get men to open their email accounts, so the scammer can sell access to them. For some reason, they always ask me to contact them at a Yahoo address. Maybe Yahoo is more available to scammers for some reason.

You're right, that's the reason I don't use Yahoo any more, I used to enter the international rooms and meet different people, now from the moment you log in instantly get tens of messages from bots trying to take you websites or to get private information from you, believe me, chat windows start opening faster than what you can close them.

Yahoo is kool to use just only allow people you have met or friends n family. Like everything be careful.
