Is anyone else experiencing 5'4" men who are 34 and widowed? Is every man a widower? I'm beginning to think so. And they all have a yahoo email address? I'm so tired of people NOT BEING who they say they are. It just waists my time

These dating sites are full of Nigerian scammers! Do some research and your find a lot of information about it. Becareful and don't give out too much of your information.

There are tons of women at the Scam routine also. Some of the giveaways I have noticed:
1) They mention how "God fearing" a person they are. No American uses that expression unless they were born in the 1800's.
2) They don't know even the slightest thing about the place they listed that they come from. I always ask questions about their location right away ("What's the weather like now?", "How long have you lived there?" -with this one they usually say how they aren't there "right now").
3) I love this one. It took me awhile to realize what was happening. I noticed quite a number who listed themselves as "Native American" and who didn't look like it at all. I finally realized: Someone from Ghana, Nigeria, etc. thinks "Native American" means they are telling you they are "native" to "America". lol. They have NO clue it means American Indian. Ask what tribe they are from - They have no idea what that means or why you are asking.
4) They immediately want to go to email.
5) They tell u right away how their lives are all messed up "Widowed. Husband killed in crash", etc.
6) They have really poor use of the English language. If for some reason you decide to chat with them anyway, ask right away "Is English your primary language?".

And you know there fake when they live half way across the states from you and want to talk. Shoot, I've sent nice messages to the locals on the search page and none of them respond and never on line. But yet they say they are looking to meet locals and want good guys but when us good non fake guys try to talk to them, they never respond.

JupiterRising7 hit the nail on the head. You are so right. I had that happened to me twice. When they talk to you they never say I in front of anything. They always say Am living here or am looking for a husband to take care of me.
