I'm assuming they're emailing you, and not just clicking "Like" on you. Did you know there's a "Limit Who Can Send You Mail" setting under Account Settings? You can block messages from anyone who doesn't meet what you set for gender, age range, and distance from you. You can also block users who smoke or drink, and a couple of other criteria.
Just be aware that they won't be blocked once you message them, and I think clicking "Like" on someone opens up the channel, too.

If you enjoy chatting with them, you certainly could, but be prepared to report them at the first sign of scammery. Personally, I ignore 'em, especially if I see they didn't even visit my profile before clicking "Like."
Any "To-Whom-It-May-Concern Likers" who are outside my settings for age, etc., will probably also be ignored, especially if they don't have a photo (or posted one that looks "too good to be true"), and/or if they can't be bothered to fill out their profile. Anyone looking for marriage gets ignored, especially those from places with names like Cebu City, Bihor, and Zeeland. (I'm not dumping on any of those places, but it's just more "yeah, right, sure." Hey, it's kinda like a free geography lesson. "Where the hell is that? Wow, she's not only in a different time zone, she's in a different hemisphere." )

Hey, you could be the next Sean Connery or George Clooney, and not even know it yet.
I, on the other hand "know I ain't nobody's bargain" (Springsteen wrote that), and never will be. So when some 20-something, even (supposedly) in my own state, clicks "Like" on me, I just say "Yeah, right, sure, Muffie" and ignore it, especially if she hasn't visited my profile. I didn't get to be this old without having a good BS Detector.

I used to find it annoying, but now I'm mildly amused. I think I'm going to see if I can collect BS "Likes" from all 50 states before quitting the site. So far I've got Alabama, California (3), Delaware, Georgia, and Kentucky, plus Canada and places beyond. It's kinda like that game where you have the kids try to spot license plates during a long car trip on the interstate.

Well I have traveled to meet someone before.....I would again as long as she smacks my azz.

Oh, you shouldnt have said that! ((( Goofball )))


Which pocket do you keep your wallet? I dont want to injure my hand... *giggling*


Somewhat on topic with OP...

Ive traveled to meet people... Whether flying cross country or driving 10 hours... Willing to do that again within reason...

I don't really have a desire to socialize with, or even speak with 'locals', locally.

Well, we don't want the two worlds to collide do we? Independent You and Relationship You..
yea.. its from Seinfeld.. Worlds Theory..
I don't want my worlds to collide either..

Good one. I hadn't heard of that before, but Googled "Seinfeld worlds theory," and there it was. All ooooover the Interwebz.
Once again, I've learned something new just by reading this forum.

And another classic from TMommy, too.

I got another "Match" today, the first from Washington state.
It's not one of my favorite ZZ Top songs, but it's the first thing that came to mind:
"I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide."

And here I thought you wanted to pick my pocket.

why do you have her french press hiding in there?

More than likely those people are scammers, with fake profiles. That's my experience so far on here and it's only been about 5 days since I've joined this site

If you don't want to communicate with them, set your filters to block messages from anyone beyond a certain distance. I'm still getting "Matches" from women in faraway places (the latest a 27-y/o in Denver), but the only lady (big difference) who's further than 50 miles from me who I receive mail from is SassyEuro. (I hope that makes her feel "special." )

Not Everyone From Far Away Is A Scammer. A German Woman Contacted Me We Talked All The Time On The Phone Not About Money. I Went To Germany And lived With Her For A While' Things Were Good AT first But In End I Found Things Out The Hard Way!!
