genessa comments on Jan 10, 2019:

on this site i notice that some of them, particularly the women, use model pictures also used by other women on other sites, and they similarly lift long, dreamy profiles about how much they enjoy life and want a man they can lean on bla bla bla, and then they post here asking if we believe in love ...

@beenthere oh, sweetie, I just had coffee with a new guy, the first words in his first sentence were, "blow jobs". I worked in an all-male shipyard for 13 years, I am not some snowflake, and it didn't upset me....funny, actually, will make a good story at some card party. It is not however, a very good idea to expect anything but asking for $$$ fairly soon, if they are all over you like a cheap suit. Women can be scammers too....normal people are wary,and for good reasons!

The most important thing to say to anyone you meet on any dating site or on the Internet for that matter: "I have one strict rule when I am on the Internet. I will NEVER, under ANY circumstances, send money or gifts to ANYONE for ANY REASON".

If you have someone that does this to you all the time... Get even. Wait until they go on vacation and then leave them a voicemail midway through that simply states, "Please disregard the first message... Everything is fine now!" It will drive them CRAZY!

Both my late Father in law & I were getting somewhat deaf. My husband, his son, "helped" by, for example, when we were in the car, turning his head AwAY and talking to the window! Passive-aggressive asshole! On the other hand, when giving an order inn a busy restaurant, he buried his head deep in the menu so the waitress could enjoy asking him 3 times what he was saying....

ghettophilosopher comments on Jan 6, 2019:

And yet somehow, Europeans don't live in abject poverty... It's almost as if these were misleading, possibly even deceptive statistics. It's ALMOST like someone wants to convince us that Europe is just a conglomerate of failed states that just refuses to acknowledge that they've failed. Hmm?

@ghettophilosopher impugning a lovely site for no other reason than you are full of hatred & distrust is just wrong, and sad. Akin to white people being suspicious of black people because they are black! Using the word "unscupulous" without one shred of evidence is Disgusting! FYI this site is privately funded by philanthropists interested in spreading Reason. Clearly not for you......
