What is the deal here that everyone thinks someone is out for something?? Maybe, just maybe there is genuine people out there looking for someone. This is why I left the first time, thought I'd give it another whirl but find the same disbeliefs floating around

Ignore the scammer-magnets
I believe most of those who complain about so many scammers, attract them for some reason.
I am rarely bothered by scammers, and I have had no problems connecting here.
NotABlonde: I think it can just take time to get to know and trust someone.
But it can happen.
I've been in here off and on for a year and so far...notta nothing, oh I get plenty of emails...if I hear "Hello my pretty" I think I'm gone...it reminds me of Wizard of Oz and it's so fake...

A lot of peeps been hurt from a previous relationship , sometimes it's the distance between us and the person we're chatting to despite the fact that we might have 'Any distance' as our profile criteria .
Ideally and speaking in terms of personal preference I'd like to meet somebody in the good ol' fashioned way' like in on a night out in a pub/club or in a queue somewhere . I can honestly say though that there are some fine people that I've chatted to here . There's that damned distance again getting in the way
Coz guys cn just be idiots sometimes. I dont think anyone knows wht they truly want... they just set limitations to themselves and when they got what they want, *the grass is Greener on the other side * syndrome kicks in.
Meeting someone on a dating site would not be for me.I would much rather date the old fashion way as in meeting someone in real life and then date the old fashion way as in maybe getting together by having a nice dinner for two in a nice diner, maybe a movie or a nice walk on a beach.

I would like that too but unfortunately for someone who doesnt go out much... only option to find kindred spirits / soul mates are through these kind of sites.

I totally understand where you are coming from, but then again who says your "ideal" mate or "soul" mate isn't half way around the world? we are a privileged generation to be able to connect with those thousands of miles away. But like you, I think if I can't find it in my own back yard I'll probably never find it...so my time here is pointless, other than the good people who come here everyday with their charm and warming personalities that I've come to love Hi Bran

you're right CC, but times have changed...I've changed, I don't do the bar scene so that leaves me pretty alone so to speak, here in Oklahoma your only options are bars-casino's, I really don't want to find someone in either of those places...but that's just me

Same here SG, I can think of nothing worse than meeting someone who props up the bar every weekend.

If you're having fun here that's fine, sometimes something nice happens along the way, but if you're really mostly here looking to meet someone this is a colossal misuse of your time and energy. You'll be far better served spending your time and energy someplace with tons of local people.

Never mentioned the bar scene.I don't hang at bars or drink anyway.
Just speaking of a meeting someone and have a dinner.One doesn't have to drink to go play pool etc.

Hiya SG I get what you're saying. I was hopeful in the beginning too but after about a year, the reality sunk in that it's not bound to happen. Chances are probably better out in the real world.
