Shows how women are easily scammed

That's great! I hope it works out well for her!

Care to share your reasoning? I'm genuinely interested.

Just kidding

Not really
I'm a female version of AC, but humble. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm reading this thread with much interest.

I doubt very seriously if he joined the same day as she did.

My profile has been up about three weeks and I've had over 150 men express interest. I've only responded to two of them and it's going well with one of them. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I really do like him.

I'm not into bars and live in a very difficult area to meet men. Trying the online thing makes sense. What I like about it is that you can converse and actually get to know someone for a while to decide whether to meet. Yes, they can lie but the longer you talk, the harder it would be for them to keep up the lies, you know? You'd start catching things like contradictions.

The downside is that you really do have to sort through a whole lot of incompatible people to find the good ones. I was surprised by whom the computer thought I "matched" many times. No way, no how! But it does provide many laughs, too.

I know of many people who have met their special someone through online dating and, because of that, I think some really good people are starting to give it a try. I joined one of the free sites because I'm just testing the waters and not willing to pay to do that. If it works out with the man I've been talking to, great! If not, well, I'm not out anything except a bit of time.
I'm with teatime.

I've been at it for 2 weeks now, and had a couple of first dates already. What I've found so far:

--I posted a no nonsense profile that clearly stated that I have high expectations (ie. no interest in players) and injected very subtle humour that only discerning people will 'get'.
--Had first dates with couple of people who matched my expectations, but I'm questioning "where is the chemistry"? and when will it hit.
--I've been stalked by someone with some inappropriate texting (middle of the night), now I have separate dating cell phone and dating email address.
--Figured out that there are two types of people, those who actively fish and those those who are waiting to be caught. Originally, I was the fishee, now I'm going to be taking a different tact and will become the fisher.


Live and Learn, but I'm having fun and maintaining a positive attitude! BTW, my girlfriends are all living their life vicariously through my little stories. It's all good.

A former co-worker of mine was in his 60s and met several nice women (also in their 60s) on a dating site.
