Looking to go slow? Then why are you in your robe and then in your pic's have you shirt off. See I wouldn't trust what your saying. But for you what your saying is true.

Thank you for saying they are real people on this site, I was about to give up! I seem to meet up on so many players.And yes we do have to keep our head on where these scammers are concerned,they always meet with some accident and need financial help, just make sure you do not send any money no matter how sad or desperate the story sounds. To all Americans Happy Labor Day week-end,be safe everyone.

I am SO REAL & TOTALLY UNIQUE, people just don't know what to think.

Part of your charm, perhaps?

ME????? CHARM?????? I doubt it.

hahaha I was one of those old people

Welcome to all the new folks. !

I do believe that most of us are real here on this site and especially in the Over 50's. Come visit us often and get to know us...you'll find some very good friends.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. She was so happy she had met a new friend on the internet and then the scam began. I felt very sorry for her. You never know for sure but you cannot shut all people out and think they are out to scam you just because a few out there are jerks and users..

Scammers are from all over. I have had two young ladies contact me over the past month, both quite young, both ostensibly from Eastern Europe and both want to have a relationship with me or marriage or both. Guess what...they both needed to come to London and needed money for the airfare....blah blah blah. After two emails they were deeply professing their love and I am left with a sense of amamzement that they must assume that someone could be so guilable. Sometimes lonely yes...but not that foolish.

Karpenter, I've had these too. Eastern Europe, Asia, SE Asia, Phillipines. Professing their undying love, just needing a plane tic to come and meet for a life of bliss.

Their notes are almost funny, except when you think of the scam they are trying to pull off. Just to get to some free Western country. I didn't fall off of the pumpkin truck yesterday and am not that foolish/gullible either.

I believe that being a single, and sometimes lonely guy recently back in the United Kingdom I welcome the attention but not a the expense of my self dignity, nor my intellect. Yes I would welcome the opportunity to be in a respectful,dignified and loving relationship and I think that these scammers are just preying on human fragility. Mine and all who are on dating sites.
They embody the very worst of human greed, they destroy faith and corrupt positive human values. They rot the very atmosphere they inhabit.
I have heard many horror stories of sensitive people "losing their faith in mankind" in the spell of such monsters.
I believe in the teleological principles of Alfred Adler, who postulated that the greatest need of the human person is the need to belong to a community, and the community in terms of many on this site is man and woman is relationship. Thus the very mandate that we follow is at risk from these horrible people. If they are seen or smelled, report them.

I never want to become so cynical that I do not believe in the true goodness of the human spirit. I have met so many real people on this 50's forum that I still believe. Am I cautious? Absolutely! I never answer an e-mail from someone I have not met on the forums. A person can say anything here and none of us know what is and isn't true but the honesty and personality of the person does come through as you get to know them through regular contact. I believe that everyone wants to love and be loved and as long as that exists there is hope for all of us

I have to agree with Jayne. Always look for the best, but CYOA, because someone may want to take advantage of you. Taking some advantage's might be OK with me, just abuse me the way I WANT to be abused.

Don do you have a list of do's and don'ts?

I have met(some in person) many real people on here, also some that are scammers..
I'm about as real as they come, although like OldSage, I'm a little different , maybe unique, because of the way I live my life but thats what makes me...ME..
