My Take on Online Dating Sites
Lately too many dating websites, both
fee paid and free services, are having so many Russians,
Africans, Filipinas signed up or are they really from
those countries signed up on so many websites? Often
I received emails from so many women from those countries
that I am not interested in. They may be prisoners
bored to death, or professional criminals such as International
Terrorists, or they are just wasting your time and
not really from those other countries and really living
in your hometown.
That was the case happened to me once with someone
who looked so familiar. Maybe her photo was stolen.
It was a well known TV anchor on cable whose picture
was on a dating site.
I got fed up with all long distance online dating
sites. For a long time since 2002, I was looking for
a local woman; not someone from another
state or country.
Now, I am glad that someone is suing
against Yahoo and Match dating sites because
their staff has been playing with people's mind with
fraud. Their staff
would send winks to make people sign up to read messages.
They know they are losing money because people DO NOT
want to pay to find that ONE person. Sure, we all want
things for free, but I have to agree with people. You
are not to buy a spouse! Those services reminded me
when I was 20 something with the old fashioned mail
order brides from the Philippines back in the 1980s
long before internet.
I do not mean to sound anti-online dating services.
I am only stating PAID services is wrong because it
sounds like prostitution. You don't buy a spouse! You
have to earn by winning her or his heart to marry you
with just plain ol' love! I don't believe in paying
for a wife. No way Jose!
I would have to say congrats to someone who is suing
Yahoo!
Personals and Match.com sites.
I enjoy more of free sites, only the choices
are still not enough because of the foreigners
on those sites. So, to say this, I have retired from
searching
for my bride online and focused offline search and
hang out with friends and just never know she is right
there!! The good old fashioned way, they earned it!
Ha. Not only that, I am 41 and I got life half over
and not found her so I got other things I want to do
now though.
For you all, please try to be more active and outgoing
to find that special person. Or if you insist, then
join the free ones such as www.plentyoffish.com and
www.christianet.com as well as www.meetchristians.com
websites. They are free to join. They are good sites
with some exceptions for meetchristians.com -- too
limited choices, and for christianet.com -- too few
photographs but plenty to meet choose. Plenty has a
lot more people
but some a little off of your taste.
I sure wish United Singles was still in the running
in Upstate New York but it has been closed due to lack
of members. They used to meet twice a week for singles
dances and singles walks.
Try to find your local activities for singles! Good
choices to find specially big conferences for singles.
God bless you all and Merry Christmas!
