Well unless I made a mistake I didn't lie about my age. I'm a 100000 year old vampire. hahaha

Hi

I personally think the word friend is used way too loosely nowadays. It's my personal opinion that a friend is someone you spend actual time with, face to face and go with to events or just hang out together. It's somebody you can trust with your wallet. If two people only communicate through texting or messaging etc.., I
guess I would probably refer to them as a cyber buddy or something similar to that.

Having met at last a hundred wonderful gals from varied dating sites i am comfortable asserting these general guidelines. First,if a woman only posts head shots even several,and she does not add in her narrative her body size she is likely obese. Second, if a woman uses euphemisms such as " a few extra pounds, a little extra, curvy" she is in denial and obese. A woman who masks her actual weight is asking men to agree to her delusion and therefore enable her to continue in the fallacy of being thin . Third, women who do not post recent photos or any at all are usually hiding age, weight and possibly other issues due to lack of honest self disclosure. Fourth, some women do not indicate how many children (young) they have in their narrative and then disclose after meeting which i find deceptive as not all men seek a ready made family nor want the family life to share their lives with.The women and men for that matter whoare honest direct, open and offer acccurate visual representation have the greatest liklihood of success as they offer the most honest communication which is the foundation for love, friendship, sex and marriage.. Not having perused or dated men i would just suspect men are similarly inclined to a variety of deceptions in age, weight, income,height, employment etc.

I've noticed for years now that many young(er) women look so old. Guess that's what happens when you raise ppl on junk-food and when they overindulge on booze and drugs?
Saw one the other day claiming to be early 20s, d@nged if she ain't 30
Happens so often, woman 24 and she looks like 36 or something. Seems that many don't have this young, fresh look at all anymore?



Yeah, hihi, some look as if they've cut 20 years of their age



That will defo get rid of people, friend or foe ...

I've met three women from this site so far and two of them admitted to lying about their age. It's the middle aged women that do it.

I don't video chat with anyone and I just ignore friend requests from people that I don't already know. I do talk to people from the forums sometimes but usually I don't waste my time with women that don't live locally. I had one the other day that said that she was in Scotland on her profile but later on she told me some story about being stuck in America. I told her that I could have reported her and had her booted from the site with a fake profile and a story like that. She said that she was from Scotland and was just looking for a penpal from back home.

Another one contacted me recently that claimed to be in Germany. I said to her that I don't really travel and don't see how dating could be possible and she came out with the sorts of lines that scammers use like, "I believe that anything is possible". Can't really remember what the last thing that I said to her was but I think that I may have accused her of scamming. She stopped replying anyway.

The thing is, whether they're scamming or not, if they live too far away for dating, or if they aren't a good dating prospect, I don't see why I should tell them a lot of personal stuff about myself because if we're not going to meet, it's really none of their concern. I will only make exceptions as far as being completely open with women on this site goes if they are people that I know quite well from the forums.

I don't video chat but I do offer women the option of chatting on the phone if we are talking about dating and if that is actually feasable. I'm happy enough to just check them out in person though. I've met some crazies from dating sites but I'm not afraid of women and don't see any need to do background checks on them. In practice, I've found that only talking to local women and not giving out my email address stops scammers from bothering me but I understand that it's not that simple for people that use this as an international dating site, or go looking for a long distance relationship.

for Godz sake guys you have to know that 89.5%of ladies on datong site aint real.......but the only security you hve from scammers is tokeep your personal info tight.......

I think that there's a difference between personal and confidential information but there is admittedly a gray area. If you aren't prepared to divulge anything personal about yourself, someone on a dating site isn't going to be able to get a handle on who you are and what you're all about. I post plenty of personal information about myself right here on these forums for everybody to see but none of it would really be of much use to a scammer. I just tell people that are potential dates more about myself than I would with someone that lives too far away for that because I don't want to waste their time if they aren't looking for a guy like me and I'm not going to make myself out to be something that I'm not just to get a date.

How can you assume that? People age differently.

I'll have to examine them personally.

Oh really? Prove it..

Hello dear, how u doing?

I think most people won't respond to a person without a photo. Me, I just delete and block the friendship invites as they are usually very young men in their 20s and I am simply not interested in even giving them the time of day.

My first time on a dating site was 1 year ago. I put on my profile that I was a total newbie. Messages flooded in. All I could think was these people sure had poor grammar and spelling. LMAO I had a lot to learn.

^This and a few other personal reasons. For one thing what I look like, my size, employment and other personal statistics are no one's business unless I decide to make it their business. There is no way I am obligated to have photos available for strangers to gawk at nor am I obligated to divulge info unless I see a need. It IS my info. I get annoyed at men who think they are entitled to everything from immediate responses to all of my personal details in a 20 questions game, yet they are total strangers. Not happening. I am really just here for the forums anyway. But this type of issue is part of the reason. Even tho I do have a photo up now, I will prolly take it down soon.

Gee, if I had a nickel for every guy that said he was fit and then I met them and saw they had one heck of a large stomach. The difference between me and men is I will still give them a chance as looks and even body are not that important. Funny thing is the guys dump me after I take them on a bike ride as they indeed are not fit.

This one 's really quite fun, the previous one was pathetic, I'm not sure the person you posted it for is a real person...

Fun? The dude killed himself. How is that fun? I wouldn't be surprised if the guy in the first video killed himself too.

Those videos aren't meant to be fun. Those videos are meant to educate people on some of the dangers of scams on the internet.

I agree , am sorry I had actually moved to another one see below, that was a little bit fun
you're right the others are awful and education is good.
