zombie01: There are many online dating sites on the Internet. I am not going to list any and nor should you because it is against the rules of CS. Some online dating sites, like CS, offer a brilliant service free of charge, whilst others charge for their services. How many of you are like I? You go through the whole registration cycle only to end up looking at a row of little empty square boxes craving for a home of your credit card account details. That is very annoying and frustrating. Or, do you feel that you pay for what you get? Some of the 'pay sites' that I have seen offer much, much less than CS but yet want to charge you. Why would anyone want to pay when you can get the best site for free?
Your thoughts/opinions/feelings on this issue [if you have any, that is].
NO, I only come to Connecting Singles for the forums, thr are only 3 other 100% REE Dating web-sites with good international Forums...
After being on this sort of web-site for the paast 10 years, it has been my observation that if ladies wish to know you, they will take the first step, as to writing notes or letters to women that you do not know, you might have better luck connecting if you just shoot your own foot...
POSTNG ON THE FORUMS = BEING SEEN, this will get you mail...
ALL WOMEN ARE FICKLE, They want who and what they want when they want it, NOT exactly when you may be intrested...

So just kep posting, till you get LUCKY...
It's not about being fickle , It's about finally becoming impressed with a man who hasn't impressed us before, and he is now impressive cause he is showing his true insides and makes us want him.

And finding in that man what it is you're looking for....and also being attracted to him at the same time....Fickle no...NOT settling for less...YES....

Women are from Jupitar and Men are rom MARS, we fail to understand your mine set...
So it might be best to wait and watch how your MOOD SWINGS...
Mercedes1: Dont ever be suprised if this site does become a paying site as alot of that is happening now..
If you had to pay would you stay?
I doubt it. I came here because it was free, and I've stayed because I'm having fun and it's free. If they started to charge monthly for it, I'd email all of my good friends here with my personal contact info that don't already have it, and then leave.
Like Lela said, there are still other free sites...social ones, even. I'd meet y'all over there.
Honestly, they have a lot of success with this site because it's free, which draws a lot of advertisers...I hope that never changes.

I enjoy it because of the diversity of people who are here. I love the many differing thoughts, feelings and topics in the forums. Plus the coffee is free too.

I am well past hormone mood swings. Early menopause, life is great. I have trouble understanding men they can be complicated.

druidess6308: Honestly, I agree with you. I have belonged to many other sites, both paid and free...and CS is the best I've found. I love the forums, and have made several friends here, and continue to make new ones. I love sharing ideas, laughter, and even tears with everyone on here.

I did exactly that many years ago and we all use that to pass jokes back and forth, but we still need to breathe a little...
100% FREE sites managed well, do generate allot of MONEY, this is why they are still 100% FREE...
Ceating a site like this is not so hard, but dealing wih people is, and that is what takes it's toll...
Long Ago back in 1994 there was a system called Matchmaker that you could buy into...
It was a network of independant Computer Systems that were interconnected with each other, that made up a naton wide network of Pay Dating Sites, I think it was $25.00 per year...
But you could ittraly jam this box about the size of a small Firdge in your closet and be making $75,000.00 per month, and come on once or twice a day and weed out the trouble makers...
The system ran itself and all the other owners took care of their own systems...
But now all the BIG seach engines provide the same service FREE of Charge, so to create a 100% FREE dating web-site is not the problem, DEALING WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IS THE PROBLEM...
That is why the thought of charging money even comes into the equation...
Free beer, its a dream. Its like the sign hanging on the wall in the bar that reads..."Free beer tomorrow", you go in the next day and the sign reads the same. But we will keep hoping that someday, someday soon..tomorrow will come and the beer will flow.

I heard that a very big popular socialising site will be charging for services from the year 2012 onwards along with a few other big ones.
I will head underground cos that is where the real people are. It's free sites that everyone wants. People are sick to the eye teeth of having to put their hands in their pockets the whole time. What's on the horizion, no more free e-mail service providers? If sites are gonna charge, then the ISP providers should be made to cut their prices. I won't be paying both. They can sort it out between themselves. JMO

That it an interesting comment.
I never quite understood it. I rather be friends with girls. I just get on better with them. I think the world of all my male friends but sometimes it's nicer to talk and communicate with a female friend, I actually find it easier. I am sure that there are many males who will agree with me.
Maybe second1, you have chosen the wrong type of girl. Girls, like guys, can be a**hole too. Girls, like guys, can be lovely too. You just have to connect with the right person.

Well my way of thinking is if guys are willing to put their hands in their pockets then they may as well go to the pub shout a woman a few and then you might be putting your hands on something else for a change and get change back at the same time
