online dating is now all BOTs and gullible suckers chatting to each other ,,shame

Yes I just got scammed tonight myself .
Was asked to get a free verification id for safety reasons and by doing so drained my bank account didnt have much in there thankfully.
The site was called benaughty they did offer me a alternative way to hook up by paying 500 dollars when I meet the girl at designated place.
Was either a prostitution ring set up of police set up. So beware people not a good site

I wouldn't agreee with you I think online dating is better than ever because there is more women on various dating sites than ever...

I don't think they are Legit @ all .. I was on two sites AFF & Secret liaisons. Locally both were F#$%kn useless. Found the Qld woman all B/S.. Ping Pong Chat only .so no Meet ups. But Interstate .Vis & NSW. did much better, got invites ,to come down Or meet me on gold Coast Yep she came up here. Didn't renew either one when it came up. & Yes. Yankee sites.. watch out there guys.. Massive scams . tread carefully with them, especially there Discount offers ? don't touch them . Always check your banking Details before, during ,& after you shut them down . Raymon PS Have found a legit site @ a good price Good for 50+ guys

could be true on some sites where there are divorced females with tons of kids by different fathers or alcoholics which no guy wants ,like one sees on POF ..the hub of rejected women

They do exist. I hooked up with two ladies off Craigslist (no money needed) But they are so far and between. It's a long process.

i have tried CL for years and only found what appears to be Nigerian scammers using very old photos of females they have stolen from somewhere.. and no genuine women ..every sub forum is infested with scammers from Africa

I am a man of 64. I am fit muscular and “apparently” not bad looking. Over the years I have had my share of sex, and again, “apparently “ I’m quite good at it. However due to unfortunate marital circumstances I’m not getting any at home. The point is I need occasional casual sex. All the sites are scams period....

The shame is that I know from experience that there ARE women out there that want casual sex, I’ve had some. There are many reasons for it, mostly late thirties into forties, early fifties, mostly married, feeling neglected feeling old and wanting an exiitement that has perhaps left their lives. Something that makes them feel sexy and desirable. Some are just plain dirty. II have had two mmf threesomes with women who are just plain turned on by it.

Would they put themselves out there with photos and personal details.... NO NO THEY WILL NOT. But they are out there. How to find them. It definitely isn’t on a website.

I generally agree with what the anonymous user said about Eharmony and AFF, with the exception of AFF being more favorable for black males. I'm a single black male and have been a member of both AFF and Eharmony. On AFF, you have to put in a lot of work. As the lady in one of the previous responses said, the guys far outnumber the women. Most of the contacts I received were from gay guys, cuckold husbands, married women who were in open relationships, fat chicks, and only a couple of single attractive women. I was fortunate enough to experience a couple of encounters, but certainly not worth the time and the effort.

As for Eharmony, every lady I met in person ended up being an intimate encounter. I'm not plugging Eharmony, and I'm not getting paid by them, but when it comes to rating the two I would take Eharmony over AFF any day of the week in terms of having a higher "smash" rate!
