I am in the middle. The other ones are my daughters. I won't tell them that you questioned which one was the 51 year old. LOL

Sorry but I have got to hold to the no smokers. I have just recently quit (only 2 months now) and I don't want to tempt myself. I understands that limits things but isn't that what the profiles are for anyway? To let people know who I am interested in? You are probably right though. I removed that block to those that smoke. Can't hurt to talk to people that smoke. I can always tell them about my preference once we start to get to know each other. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the advice everyone...and I used to be very active in forums such like these. For some reason my shy side is taking effect and I have not been able to get involved....that is a yet however. I will find the spot to jump in eventually. It has been a long long while since I have visited sites such as these and I guess I am just off my game at the present time. I have to agree that probably getting involved with the forums is the way to go. Just wanted people's opinions about my profile. Does it scream, "All scammers please respond??" because that certainly seems to be the only ones that take any notice. The only ones that even view it are those in far away lands as well.

Have had profile up on here for the last couple of months and have had not received anything but from spammers. I don't get it. Is it the way my profile is written? the pics I selected? I have the great ability to attract jerks, (have had years of experience in that area) but can't seem to understand why I can can't get the attention of anyone with a genuine heart.

Just venting....thanks for listening.

please

Hi everyone. New to the site. about 6 days in and already I had a near miss with a scammer so I am a bit hesitant. I have been reading that it's recommended that you start in the forums so here I am but am not really sure where to go from here. Willing to take any advice or guidance but would just like to see if this site is worth my time. given my experience already...I'm understandably cautious.

I just almost got scammed. is it because of what I put in my profile?

totally can happen. Just happened to me here with someone...luckily I found out before he even got to the part where he would ask for money. BEWARE
