I just joined this site this past week with the hope that is is different from other sites. As an older woman it is difficult to meet people, especially if you don't do the bar or club scene. My experience on the web has had at times been disappointing. People tend to play mind games, dishonesty and deception runs rampant, people just aren't who they say they are. We are aware of the predators who prey upon children and teenagers but the reality is there are also those who take advantage of people seeking to finding companionship. Recently I came across information that I feel will be helpful to anyone seeking romance via the web. There is a site called romancescam.com, it features photos, email addresses, etc. of people that attempt to scam people on the web. The photos depicted are of real people who unfortunately have had their photos misplaced by the scammers who present themselves as such. So the people in the photos are victims as well. I would advise that you check this site out, everytime you get an email address, you can check this site and see if the photo or email address you receive is listed. As always keep yourself safe by limiting the amount of information you reveal in your contacts while utilising this medium.
Good luck to all of you, hope you find happiness here and also make many friends. Hope I get to communicate with some of you, doesn't matter if you're male or female, new friends are always welcome.
