mollybaby: I've never skyped.
I have absolutely no interest in it.
Let's say for example , you got chatting to someone from abroad .. now I know you're gonna say "I don't date outside my country , but if someone was going to a lot of trouble & expence , for arguments sake, wouldn't you be a little curious to talk face -face .. Isn't that a reasonable request ?

Are you referring to his birthday tackle, or a decent man ?

If people are honest, and we assume that you trust them, from mailing, chatting on phone etc
then if we are good judges, there shouldn't be any disappointments.scold roll eyes innocent

If you've already guessed my answer, why bother asking the question? laugh

I have online friends abroad, and I don't Skype with them either. I don't think it's a necessity.

When you say friends , have you actually met them , or are they pen pals ?

I think you are too safe John, you want all the I's doted and t's crossed
That is your choice of course, would a phone call not be just as good??

Even if you have chatted on Skype, you have no guarantee
that all will be hunky dory when you meet, especially
if you have flown for several hours and spent loads to get there
Life is just not perfect.

If I may add my thoughts...
I place a great deal of stall on an original profile... How its written, is it inviting, does it show a mind at work... Most importantly, is there 'original thought', no walks on the beach, cozy nights in, gsoh... I want to be hooked enough to make the first move, and if I do, the person is already 20% there... A good profile (whatever is your thing) is your marketplace, it's your first contact.... That's how I take it... thumbs up

One2, I think your main problem is possibly that you are not a good judge of character.
That you can't 'read' them well.
But Skype probably doesn't really help you there.

Humans are visual creatures, like it or not .. If you're willing to travel to , what can only be described as a blind date, so be it , but I won't be taking that risk.
