A friend wanted me to sign up. I saw the profiles and the price and couldn't stop laughing.
Or was it crying?
I think the important part is to keep it light during online discussion, and put off most off the real communication until you've met a few times. Don't invest too much of yourself until you know the person. Online communication spawns pseudo-intimacy.
I think the net is a pretty good place to meet people. Some will be nice, some will be slime. But you can get that result at the local Parents without Partners or Toastmasters or the Tavern down the street-even Church can yield some clinkers. The guy I'm dating now, and have dated for six years, I met while playing bridge online. Nicest guy I've ever met. Don't tell him I said so, though.......
That is true. I just have had too many experiences with the pathological liars or married fellas just looking for a good time to invest in any online relationship at this time. I could change my mind later but right now I am sticking to local yahoos. LOL I at least can check out their family and friends and make sure they are on the up and up.
I know what you mean. They have guy psycho's too. It's not just online either. There are some really bad people out there lol.
Heh...
That's Rather Good...
You're lowballing on that 3rd stat IMO. I bet it's closer to 76.335%
