Most of the Guys who contact me - the Great Guys with great profiles and Pics,,,send me a real nice and urgent message where they want to connect, know more,,,& just as quickly - no 2nd or 3rd message & they disappear! So it would appear that most of these great so called Contacts are Scammers! ?? dunno

The contacts that are not that great,,,well unfortunately not who I maybe interested in continuing to chat and get to know !!! - All those I just don't reply to. sigh

I now understand why so many remain on CS for the Blogs, Forums, Polls, Music etc. etc. - Fortunately so - otherwise how long would CS still be available!!!

Of course it's a free 'Dating Site' - & great that it also has so much more on here - Because there's no subscription - why can't one really connect with a 'Real Person / Real Profile' as a friend and then maybe more!!!??

Why must one go onto a 'Paying Online Dating Site' - to maybe find that special connection?? These Sites also can't guarantee that there will be that some one special ???

Life is about taking chances!!! wink wink

& Lessons learnt!!!! doh

Sadly, the internet does attract these idiots and it is a pity there is not an exterminate button!
However, there are a lot more nice men around than there are idiots. bouquet

The paid dating sites are swarming with scammers as well.

But regarding this site, there are many couples that have met from here. Many success stories.

I'm sure the men on here have the same complaint.

You will generally get to know the idiots after one, rather than two or three , emails after a while.

Stick to the forums and blogs. Although, having said that, I did meet a few lovely men just from email alone.

Consider organising a CS Meet in your area. That is a great way of getting to meet CSers in real life.

Love does blossom on here. heart wings

I have heard of many success stories, mine included, so that means there ARE real persons around -men and women- that look for that certain connection and willing to go further...and commit.

So, just the logic is important here... if a profile is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ... more likely ITS FAKE!!
Keep trying, why not!

Use your common sense :)

GO girl!!

My expérience on the level of dating ( till now has been awefull ) not just on here but on many other sites. Apart from some wonderful people on blogs and polls as buddy.... ( I dont remember anymore his nickname ) said on blogs...dont be foal. .you got more changes to find your woman of dream. ..in a supermarket queau or, as buddy truheart said latley ...in a pub. Both of them are absolutly right.

So my humble opinion to you is if you are looking for a RELATIONSHIP you have better changes to go to cap town and LIVE. If your looking for have fun and chat and share some opinions,this is the right place. Better then any other sites.

Personaly my dream girl could be at Ponte Saint Maxence,5 min from my village and to cheat-chat with some good people. I log in on CS.

Just in my humble opinion.

thumbs up

yay

Don't believe that paying sites are better ,not one bit . The best place to find a partner must still be local . This place is more a forum site where its possible to stumble on a partner .
this link is about one paying site where the site is the scammer . It has a few offshoots as well only to happy to take your money . Many members have not been able to leave it while being persued by debt collectors . You will find a fella Tori if you are serious , here .

Alexandro10 has hit the nail on the head by having made the following comment:

“So my humble opinion to you is if you are looking for a RELATIONSHIP you have better changes to go to cape town and LIVE. If your looking for have fun and chat and share some opinions, this is the right place. Better then any other sites.”

CS provides an excellent platform to network with single people in a particular area. When a person actually makes an effort to contact you requesting to meet for coffee, an opportunity arises to get to know you as a person and vise versa. In the majority of cases sparks do not fly, but should compatibility in the form of friendship be achieved, then one may well find access to a network of new people which translates into increasing one's chances of meeting a potential partner.

One of the golden rules that one should apply, is that if a person has made the effort to write to you, the least one can do is to write back to thank the person (not applicable to correspondence received that is not valid – a scam). I.M.H.O. simply ignoring the individual due to the content of their profile or even worse on the basis of their photograph shows not only disrespect towards another human being, but reveals negative character traits of the receiver.

When, as Tori10 puts it, great guys with great profiles and pictures fail to respond any further, it may just be that such individuals have dug a bit deeper by reading comments made by the person posting onto blogs or polls, certain behavioral characteristics come to the fore which serve as a warning not to proceed any further.

I thoroughly enjoy CS. There are times when I wish I hadn't said this or that, and certainly times when my feelings have been damaged and/or I've been annoyed with a particular poster. (Usually because I believe I'm not being heard or validated). Those are miniscule compared to the vast majority. Almost everyone (that I regularly talk with on forums and/or e-mail) is bright, cheerful, supportive, understanding, and all in all, what good friends are for. I see the world I live In, and that includes this club, as very cool, and much of the time, very wonderful. I do admit that I wish I had not said some things, but I am not going to let it define me. We are all a part of everyone we meet, and that includes the internet in this day and age. Hope this helps with your research of how members feel about the club. rose

Ma man what are you talking about !!!!!

Its 3 months and if I'm not wrong Perhaps more ,that apart from having a laugh and a good chat with some good people on blogs,pools and threads,there hasnt been one woman that has contact me for a coffee or what so ever or I have thought I wish I could have a cup of coffee with her ( I'm talking in France ). There are few woman that I wish to meet,but unfortunatly they are in other countrys in europe and and my personal situation doesnt allowed it at the moment.

And FYI ,I know you dont believe me, but I met a girl just with one picture on badoo and one line do you wanna meet or not? we met had a a laugh ,went to cinéma and if it didnt work..That's another pair of hand.

Pls, just put some s'ence next time when you write down.

Thx.

So far I am amazed :DDD
I met very nice/interesting/... people here.
Some from far far away, being simply friendly, without expecting anything back. People I hope to have coffee/lunch with one day.

Few willing to travel to meet :)
The few meetings I had were great experiences. And just for meeting the people I was writing with and getting to know them it was worth to get on CS.

Of course, not every email exchanged with someone means that's him and I am for him! It's true: some of the writing just die naturally. That's o'right. Still it is exciting to get to know some of people here and the stories behind them.


In general, if I would have my private jet and the World and myself would be perfectly ok with bigamy I would date most of them! ;)))



Could be other website would work as well. Could be not.

Tori10's forum post was:

"Just Saying",,,My CS Experience has been!!!,,,& How about your's???

That which I wrote makes perfect sense as it is the experience of not only myself, but others that have had the same experience – using meets to build up a network. CS encourages participants to arrange local meets. As there exists a variety of different activities in Cape Town for single people to meet, networking between groups simply increases the chances of meeting a suitable partner. So if a CS event occurs in Cape Town, many of the people who participate can be introduced to other single networks that have been established for the purpose of meeting new single people.

Your personal experience in France is your personal experience. That does not make the experiences of any other CS participant invalid.

Oh I see,sorry about that man.

Yeah, I'm trying to win my shyness first man and then if my personal situation let's me be more free, I'm thinking I might give it a try. In Paris.
