Are all these dating sites the same? You almost have to join the "PAY" section to find anyone legit ! Sad, very very sad.
These sites have the right idea......but so risky and for those of us that don't do the bar scene, online SHOULD be a great way to meet and get to know the opposite sex. But then of course there's the whole honesty thing and how much can you really believe of what they say ...anyway just venting :)

Well no you don't have use the pay section to find any one reel here. The forums are a great way to meet some...

As for the whole honesty thing. I wish more people would be.. But use your gut and trust in your instincts.

I wish you the best of luck here.

I hear there are scammers on the paid sites too - agree, just have to be careful and patient.

You can meet a serial killer in a bar too.

Possibly serial daters here too.

Have visited Lawton at times, paying my respects at Geronimo's grave, at Fort Sill.

Unfortunately yes...most are scammers I find as well. Its free and anyone can join.
I find slim pickings in my area and most are looking for sex only.

Years ago it was very different but the legit moved on back to the real world and what we have left is well...........

Yup there most certainly are. But there tactics are a little different since they have to pay to communicate with anyone. Except on the basic flirt level.

I figure it's about like winning the lottery... I am going to have to get real lucky and the odds are not really in my favor but... Gotta play once in awhile - to have any chance of winning.

True. I'm no math wiz but I figure the odds are more in your favor than the lottery... Even with the fakes there are usually more men than woman. Then factor in every one is looking fir something different.. And bingo you get to pick your winner and runners up.

Vs the lottery where it is only one jackpot and you and the rest of the world are competing against a computer to win.

I met so many men online. They are all clones of each other. So disapointing that I don't want to bother anymore.Hmnm should I sway the other way?

i have to ask them if i suspect , to take a picture with the date on a piece of paper, them holding it in the pic thats the only way i can think of , to tell if they are real

Works good.. Your neighbors begin to wonder what you're up to when you keep taking the Polaroid to the out house....
