Dating Sites Reviews Forums

Hi, I just signed up for Yahoo Personals about 2 weeks ago and so far have received 2 mail messages, both from fairly attractive women (which prob makes it way more likely the profiles are fake) and they both contained strikingly similar messages. Both talked about how they had their heart broken in a recent relationship and how all they care about now is a sense of humor and looks don't matter, etc. Anyway, check out these two excerpts I've lifted from each message. Message 1: "My interest is in a good personality and sense of humour for I need someone to lift my spirits. I preffer a with sound and mentally matured, am open to any depending upon them i will love to share the intimate side of myself with someone willing to do the same." Message 2: "My interest is in a good personality and sense of humor and someone whose fun to be with as I need someone to lift my spirits. but am open to any depending upon their sharing the intimate side of myself with someone willing to do the same." OK, these are two supposedly different women in different cities and the phrases are pretty much identical with a little bit of filler changed in each one. It seems fairly obvious to me that likely both are fake profiles. They both wanted me to message them outside of Yahoo Personals. The first one I did and they replied with a long "life story" to which I replied back, and haven't heard from back in a week, even though up until that point they had been responding within 24 hours. The second one I have not contacted, and I'm beginning to think, what's the point, b/c it's probably another fake I was just wondering what others thought about this particular situation and if they have noticed the same kind of fake profiles in their experience. Are most online dating sites just one big joke with a bunch of fake profiles and scams?
