I am a healthy, single guy who has had some hits and some misses on the web when it comes to dating. I have often encountered women who (insisted, demanded, requested) that I enroll on some "Safe Dating" website in order to pass a "security background check." Presumably, the tests are to determine if you are a convicted felon, criminal, molester, rapist, etc. I have balked because I am none of those categories and I am opposed to divulging credit card and personal information on the web. Another inconsistency is that the service is supposedly "free", but, the websites want credit card information!?

Has anyone on this site had a positive, productive experience with "Safe Dating" sites? Explain.

Or, are they just another web scam run by college coeds to dupe horny men out of their dough? Explain.

Do not give anybody your credit card number.

Be very cautious of anybody who tries to get you to go to any links or "sites" that ask for any personal information.

I've used dating sites for years now. Easiest way to connect with the opposite sex. I've only once found one that made me wonder. I do believe that site had more fake profiles & scammers than is almost humanly possible. noway I would get mail from 5-10 (no kidding!) of these per day! When at last I asked admin about it .. no answer (chirp, chirp) oops .. ya, well I guess I GOT my answer now didn't I?

Doesn't matter where you meet someone you have to be cautious. Dating sites are no different.
