Just curious,This is the only site I have been on and I have only made some distant friends in the poetry forums, I play the games, and place or read an occasional poll. rarely do I get an message and when I do its a person from the poetry forum or someone from some place needing money for a passport so we can meet or need money for grandmas surgery. I made the mistake once of giving my email and the next day I am getting multiple messages from watchmestrip, sexysally or hornyholly @ something .com and had to change my email.Whats your take
I did not see the option that said yes but they either did not know themselfs or really misrepresented who they were that would be my place to check. I have friends who have had some really good meetings. Mine was reallllly bad.

Your right because that is a huge factor , and if Im sure a lot of people dealt with that or are the misrepresenter themselves

I like to give people the benefit of a doubt. Maybe they see themselfs through rose colored glasses. Maybe they are numerical challenged and do not know the correct numbers for age or height, I have now pulled my rose colored glasses off where on line socializing is concerned. I am more aware.

Well if it makes any difference Im not sure if anyone to message me was ever real at all I will look to see if they even looked at my profile at all and mostly never. Its like that insurance commercial everything is true on the internet. Good stuff
Yes, I found someone on here who seemed really nice & wrote me 5 emails per day. We finally met & after only being together for 2 weeks, I found out he had severe anger issues, & was a physically & verbally abusive control freak. Oh yeh, & let's not forget that he lied about everything!
Aren't there any HONEST people in the world any more? If people can't be honest about who they really are, they shouldn't even be on a dating site, cos, no one can hide the truth about themselves forever.
P.S. You can bet I dumped him, so what good did all of his lies do for him in the long run if he wanted a REAL relationship with someone as he claimed?

Well all that is hidden will eventually will be revealed and I don't get the misrepresentation either. If one was looking for love than a sandy foundation is not one to build on so why lie. Yes there are plenty of honest men and women, love is not dead as some are leading themselves to believe.Im sorry for your experience maybe he just needed a hug and you should of dumped him

Ive met 3 men from this site, great friends (2) I had a few dates with the other one, I liked him so much probably too much but he didn´t want me the same way I guess good luck

That was unfortunate but we can't guarantee that those we like will like us back...I met Cathy through this site and we have been together now for almost two years. It hasn't been perfect but then it never is (or someone is in denial) but it has definitely been worth it. Good luck

I am glad for what happened to you, I think mine was in denial .... but its all good life goes on it doesnt stop just because someone doesnt want you thank you best wishes to you and Cathy
I went to the get-together in Glasgow - met real people, lovely people - I didn't have time to stay and really connect - what can you do in 3 weeks - it was wonderful event - I suggest you have a Florida get-together -
Yes, I have met a few men from this site. One in particular will always have a special place in my heart.
I have met quite a few men from a couple of local sites, and used to be quite active in local singles events which myself and several others organized through a local site. I have made many friends, male and female, through this medium.
As for dating, I date far less than I used to, but that is intentional. I'm more selective, and have a better sense of self and the type of man that makes my zing zang, then when I first ventured out into this world of online dating.

He needed more than a hug. I forgave his behavior over & over again, but he didn't seem to appreciate it, or even want to do anything to change his behavior. He needed psychiatric help -- which he would not seek for himself. He got mad when I suggested he get help. All he said was that I was starting to sound like his X-GF by suggesting it to him. (He had been in nutter hospitals several times).
I realized long ago that I can not 'fix' anyone. They must first want to fix themselves. Since he didn't seem interested, I DID dump him.
I totally agree with you. One must have a firm foundation of truth & honesty in order for a relationship to thrive & last.
Yeah thats the thing. It such short notice politics. There s no point in lying your face off, cause you will be caught the first real live date.
Everyone lies a bit though, no need to tell straight away you have a nasty pimple or like to pick your nose all day long, but if you lie about the fundamentals its a different thing.
I have had 1 date with a nice woman not even too far away from me and she was really decent and i think honest and as her profile stated We mailed just a few times before getting a coffee together and stop wasting each others time in case there was no click. For the rest, i get no mails ever. If a guy does not take the initiative, women do not write.
Yes. I find four to six dates per year online. Sometimes a date turns into a short-term relationship lasting a few weeks or a few months depending on the situation. There are times when I go-out with the same date only two or three times without it turning into a relationship. Ok, how it starts? A few messages are sent back-and-forth, then either I or she gives her real first name and a few messages later, we deside to go on yahoo webcam or exchange phone numbers or both. By this time, we know each other well enough to see each other's facebook page. It's a slow process at times, but in this crazy world, no one should be in a hurry. Take your time and see how it unfolds. WE ALL take the risk of giving an element of trust.
Yes I certainly have ... I think people just need to remember to take it into the real world and step outside their doors. Stop being so afraid and go for it - does it always work out? No .... but there is no guarantee of anything in life.
Dating local is the best option of course, but alas sometimes the love bug does bite from afar - so make the decision beforehand about what you are willing or not willing to do to find love.
Love to me is worth it .... now I just need long underwear to keep warm!!!!!!!
I met a great guy who lives 45 mins away and we are still going strong 5 yrs later. He is definitely my soulmate and visa versa. He truly was married for 30 yrs and widowed 2 yrs like he said was and just beginning to start over in life to meet someone again, at the encouragement of his daughter. Nothing phony about him at all. Just a very decent and humble human being who is thoughtful and deeply caring. Strangely enough, my field of study in college now paralells his wife's occupation and I began in this field before I even met him. He had no idea what my field of study was when we even met as now it is more specialized than when his wife worked. Oddly enough, I also happened to work in the same hospital she worked in and at the same time but on different shifts so we never knew each other. I even worked on the same unit that she was a patient on. If she were alive, she would have had to go to college to get a degree in this field or else the hospital would eliminate her job. He feels blessed to have known 2 women in his life who have cared deeply for him. I feel blessed to have him in my life. I was alone for 17 yrs after my divorce and remained single to raise my son. His late wife and I have many other things in common too but yet we were very unique in our own sense. I don't believe in coincidences in life. Some things are truly destined that our creator has planned for us.
Yes, some years ago I met someone on a similar site. We were together for over 4 years, but I had to move far away, so it ended. I also made a couple of really good friends. :)

I agree 100% I have to go slow and for me as I don't want to meet men here in Greece. Well did not but have arranged to meet up with someone after months of emails and a skype call who lives on one of the islands. He is British. I have made one good friend in Spain and also met two other men one in Scotland and one in Ireland. They were as they said and with Skype it is hard to hide much. So far I have been lucky but tons of no goes for different reasons as well it takes time and work. You can't sit back and wait I find. For some of use it is not easy to meet our soul mate around the corner.
Ccincy: I met my guy on a non-dating site.I'm only here for the forums.
I met a lady here and spent a few days travelling together before deciding nothing would come of the relationship. I also met a lady on another site and we spent some months together, we live in different countries.

Let me guess - 2 inches shorter than stated? That has certainly been my experience as well. Lately they've come clean about their age the minute they're on video, BUT every single one lied about their age in their profile and some aren't shy, knocking off 6-10 years.
