I came on this site because my sister thought that I spent too much time alone and that I should meet some people. I did that. I thought that I found someone that I wanted to meet, but they lived in another state. He is supposedly a single father with 2 teenage boys. Now I have been getting calls and emails from them that they are being evicted and are going to be on the street. Can I send them the money to help. That just sucks. Then I got questioned about my intentions. Am I scamming them? How is sending my money to complete strangers scamming them. What is going on in this world today? I just keep getting more and more discouraged.

I haven't lost my mind yet. I am just discouraged with this site and trying to meet someone nice who doesn't expect anything from you except to like you.

It seems that they have lost the ability to be on the internet. I can block them. It is just a sorry situation that people try to play on other people's feelings. I think I should de-active my account and live quietly.

you can't blame the site for one bad situation. i've never experienced anything even close to that and i've been on this site on and off for 2 years. you just have to be careful (like in the real world). i hope you stick around, this place can be fun.flowerforyou

This site does really well at keeping scammers out, there are very few here as opposed to mainstream dating sites. Report the user and admin will investigate it further. Happens to everyone, well, hasn't happened to me yet...but I'm not exactly "desirable".laugh

I have made a couple of good friends on this site. I really don't want to give it up for one bad experience. I guess it is all just live and learn. Maybe it is just a better place for me to make friends than to look for anything more.

You can find more, there are a few people around here that have been together for years...and quite a few that have been married. It can happen, just keep it within a realistic thought.

I somehow don't think it is meant for me. Friends are good. I can live with that.

Friends last much longer than relationships in my world. I will just keep to friends and not worry about the rest. We all only have a certain time here. I just want to make the most of mine.

Yeah. The best thing you can do here is to NOT go purposefully looking for a relationship. Just go about making friends and engaging in conversation out here. If something should fall on your lap in the meanwhile, then all the better.

After all, it's like the saying goes- "If you go about trying to look for something, chances are you'll never find it."

You have to admit that it is hard even here. I have gotten emails from married men wanting something on the side. Nasty talk. Just so much crap. The friends I have made have been on the community page and not on the regular site. My profile is not suggestive in the least, but I can't understand why grown men think that they can say the things they do to people they have never met. Sorry, I am just a small town girl. This really bothers me.

There are ways to combat such unsavory online behavior, you know. Not only can you delete and block the problem emails and IM solicitations, but you can also report the problem members to the Moderators and Administrators of this place so that THEY can enact judgment on them.

Like your incident with the scammer, the email solicitations are also quite common here. You just have to deal with them as best as you can.

they do it all over the net, not just on here. they wouldn't dare say some of that stuff to a woman's face in the real world, but the screen gives them a comfort zone. they're cowards, pervy cowards, to be sure, but still cowards. try not to let it get to you.
