Actually I know the rules here about immigration etc. So only attractive woman that have a chance to come and live with me deserve a better look. And sometimes I look at the women form the Netherlands, but if I see women who think Amsterdam is situated in the Province Groningen, well I know thay are fake, from Amsterdam to Groningen is about 200 km's might not seem big in you area, but in the Netherlands it is.

One of the reasons profiles are there is sopeople can say a bit about themselves and let peole know what they are after.
Some people rely on their instincts for this which are you??

I want somebody that I can fall in love with without many problems from the government, and when the moment is there I will fall to my knees and ask her to marry me.
I look at a male profile to compare it against what he says in his forum postings. It's easy for me to spot untruths because I have an investigative nature about me because of my job for many years.
I also look at a profile after I talked to someone for awhile to see how much of what he said is true. That pleases me when people are truthful in a profile.
I think a profile should be about hobbies you like to do, whether you like to travel or maybe you like to stay at home and play with the dog. It saves time and frustration if people are truthful in their profile.
However, often people try to make themselves more than they are just to attract someone. I can't be bothered with that. I am what I am

I don't think instinct comes in to it to be honest. Words are just that and many on here have no profile picture or use an image which is not theirs, which has been known, so how does one form an opinion as to whether the person is genuine. Not everyone is honest on dating site profiles and unfortunately ,as you well know, people have been sucked in and taken to the cleaners for want of a better description.
I have my pictures on show so that people know who they are talking to as I'm only here for the chat etc and friendships.
It's a game of chance ,some win the lottery some don't. There have been some good connections ending in marriage on this site.
Meeting someone face to face if at all possible would be the answer in my opinion.

Most people just look at the PHOTO. If they think the person is HOT they will contact them. No one takes the time to read long profiles that look like the communist manifesto.
