RE: Does anyone actually read profiles

I think most people do read the profiles on here. If they find the other person is not when they are looking for they pass over the profile without comment and quite rightly so as nobody wants to waste their time.

There are of course the scammers who try most profiles on a mass attempt to harvest information or to find a mug. These will bother you even though you clearly state in your profile that they are not the type of person that you are looking for.

People have noticed that the plagues of these scammers even when reported with picture matches are still on here and have not been removed! Other scammers from clearly blocked areas are also getting through. They are the ones who don't read profiles.

RE: Beware

They have multiple mailboxes.You have to post their IP numbers as it is far more expensive for the scamming group to have these known.
You get their IP number from the header on the original of any e-mail which they send you. You then type the number into your search engine and you will get a result. I recently found one from here which had nearly 300 cases of fraud ranging from romance scams upwards. That is the scale of it and the group is still using it.

RE: Some guys are strange

There are lots of profiles on here and people look at them to see if the other person suits what they are looking for. If it doesn't they keep looking without writing. That's how a dating site works.
Add to that that the scammers who are looking for a mark on here (There's a little ring currently working from an IP number in New Jersey who are going through the profiles both here and on other sites).
Then you have a small number who are too shy to contact you and hope that you will contact them.
Does that answer your question?

RE: Why are you not in a relationship?

A very interesting question.
I would be asking the same of the profiles with the super model pictures as they would be having no trouble at all meeting prospective partners in real life. I think most of you know the answer to that one already or at least suspect it.
I think a lot of the other seekers aren't actually looking for real life partners, but living a kind of virtual world where they can get the fulfillment of having their egos stroked that they wouldn't get anymore in the real world. Those are quite easy to spot.
The genuine profiles actually looking for partners are generally average looking and are quite sincere. They have trouble being noticed in their immediate location or are socially shy in a competitive in real life dating situation at the workplace or when out socially. That group usually end up meeting people on here who suit them.
There you go.

Nice one mate!

RE: Do People Judge You by How Many FB friends you have?

Many use FB to use it's Messenger to chat. Google has the same thing called Hangouts with exactly the same functions. If you truly wanted to be anonymous and secure though you would use WhatsApp.
With the startup of the scammers bouncing their emails off American addresses now and using them to create FB profiles seeming to have a location in the US you cannot trust a US facebook profile anymore.
They are using the same tactic on CS as well trying to glean more Email addys for ransomware and for other uses.

RE: Dinosaurs

The dinosaurs? They either died out or the smaller ones evolved into birds.
Mind you there are still a few left on here...You know... the ones who have been on here since before the Ark and whom everybody avoids for obvious reasons...They can be found living on the forums

RE: California smart crowd

The fact is you get what you vote for. We have free universal healthcare, free university education, things like that. What do you have in the US? Like I said; You get what you vote for....
Mailbox again, gotta rush..

RE: My favorite Johnny Depp movie

He is an extremely versatile actor and the only American I know of who was able to do a convincing London Accent in his movie about the Ripper.
His best performance in my opinion, however, was in the Nine Gates. One of my all time favorite movies!

RE: Spiritual but not religious?

It is either because their particular religion is not on the initial profile application or that they are spiritual, but not a devout religious nut as for obvious reasons nobody remotely wants these on a dating site.
Mailbox has just gone red again. Gotta go!

RE: No One's First

Are we talking about funerals here?

RE: New Currencies & Tax Exemption

Why care about it? The people on here haven't got pots of gold and silver or common sense will tell you that they would be elsewhere if they had There goes the mailbox again...32 this week so far...

RE: Do People Judge You by How Many FB friends you have?

If you had 500 friends on FB you wouldn't be able to talk to them all everyday or even read all of their posts as it would take too long even if you were one of the common or mindless herd who spend most of their time on there.
In answer to the question though, it really depends on where you live. In naughty America for example it is very important socially to seem to have a lot of FB friends, however superficial that they are. The TV series South Park played on this very issue in one of its episodes.
In Europe, however, people tend to have a closer bond with their FB friends and are more privacy minded. There are, however, exceptions to the rule.
I myself closed my FB account and only then I realized how much time I was wasting on there every day. I don't miss it.

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

In Sweden the old TV license is being abolished within a couple of years now. With the availability and advances in social media, hardly anybody actually bought a TV anymore. Just a large flat screen for use with a social media device which was not classed as a TV.
Instead of the old TV license a Public Utilities tax is being brought in with every household charged. That is what happens if you begin to put licenses on things.
Those broken down old actors, you know, the old has beens which never were and sentenced to do the never ending rounds of game shows and those boring, boring cultural programs which everybody avoids are being kept alive with the new tax revenue.

RE: BIG @ BEAUTIFUL IN CALIFORNIA

I am not bullying or insulting. Just humorous. I also keep to the rules of the site. If you have a problem with that you can always take it to admin. By the way, I rarely comment on the forums, so don't try and play the victim card either.

RE: What do you think is the greatest obstacle in dating?

When both partners are grossly obese?

RE: Odd Behaviour on Dating Sites

Odd Behaviour on Dating Sites?

How about those not posting a picture on their profile?:

RE: What makes it difficult for a black getting a white girl for a wife?

I live in Sweden. You have very little chance. The Swedes have a very tight community feeling and you would have to be accepted into their society. There you have the truth.
It would be a lot easier for you to look for somebody within your own cultural and immigrant group. I am curious as to why you are not doing this.

Mailbox again!

Gotta go!

RE: BIG @ BEAUTIFUL IN CALIFORNIA

Repairing their broken furniture?

RE: Is it Cool to enter your income in your CS profile?

It does seem to be a bit of a mystery why CS ask for income info As most people on here haven't got a pot to pee in even (wealthy people DON'T use free dating sites) it does seem a bit pointless.
Maybe CS are giving the more astute of us a good opportunity to guffaw at the idiots who lie about their truly abject poverty
Most have enough to get by on their own, but cannot support others. That would be the correct answer to give when asking members about income They are simply too embarrassed or ashamed to admit it..

And there is the mailbox AGAIN tonight! Gotta go

RE: Homemade

Babies? Mailbox is calling me again.

RE: Dying of Loneliness

Not suprised! Get a picture onto your profile and somebody might write.
On second thoughts maybe you shouldn't bother....
Mailbox is red again. Can't waste time here....

RE: What's with you, guys?

How about "Why don't you have a photo of yourself on here" as well?

RE: Solved

Umm...Sherlock Holmes was a fictional character created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Jack the Ripper has been identified with 98 percent certainty as a Whitechapel butcher by trade. The attacks stopped at the same time as he was committed to a lunatic asylum on other grounds.
Like most mysteries this wasn't best selling news and so has largely been ignored.

RE: Who's viewed me
