The last 6 months have been VERY dry as far as female companions for me and I'm starting to worry. In years past I tended to work with girls, go to school with girls, go to parties with girls, but all that has changed. Now all I do is work with a bunch of older dudes, I don't go to school and my friends have all drifted apart lately so there haven't been any parties to attend.

I'm starting to face the frightening prospect of having to actually use pick up lines on random girls in order to get to know them. Then going through the tedious process of getting their phone number and calling them up and asking them on dates, yadda yadda. Fuckin I don't want to go through all that! But I really don't see another way.

99% of couples I know seemed to have known eachother from school or work or they met through mutual friends. I don't really know anyone who started dating a random person they met in the snack foods aisle or the bus stop or w/e.

But it's starting to look like I have no other options.

I have no problem finding places where girls are at, I come across them every day. The problem is that it's weird to just pluck one out of the crowd and start "getting familiar", you know what I mean? Not to mention that girls are rarely alone in public, so you have to figure out which ones are eligible before you move in.

I'm not one of those guys who just boldly embraces random people in public, even if they're attractive females.

in my situation i'd probably have to kidnap and then rape. most rapists lure their victims willingly at first. i'm not very good at luring people.

Are those online dating sites really as common as they claim to be? I've never known anyone who used them. It's worth considering though.

2. I'm dating some random person I met jogging for a few months now. So there is hope Merc. Man up if your half as outgoing as you are annoying you should be fine. Honestly just start chattin the closest cutie up and get the 1st no outta the way.

Roach

some are complete scams, a few are legit.

I know two people who've used them. One chatted with a guy for about a week before he started asking for money, the other will be marrying the girl he met in the summer of 2012.

Seems like they're a scam if you are a chick, and legit if you are a dude.

The gym is great because it's such a primal place where men check their shame at the door.

this chick , asked me afterwards if I knew anything about the site she was using, so I researched it a bit.

match.com

loss $50,000 in an adoption/dating scam of man from Match.com/Facebook. I met with Alabama Attorney General's office and they filed a report (with my 500 page documentation that I put together in my own on-line investigation) with the FBI consumer internet protection department in January 2011.

In my investigation, I found many profiles on Match.com/love and seek that were fake. I purposely looked for those profiles fitting a specific category (engineer, widowed, looking for women 20-70, etc). I would email them a general email and letters of love and need came back immediately. It is huge. I printed those reports as well. Dating sites should do certain checks on individuals, but they are not protecting the consumer. The man that scammed me was actually back on Match as of a few months ago. His profile information stays the same, he changes his pictures. He gets pictures off from Facebook and uses them as himself. I have a document signed by the man he posed as in his communication with me when I located the man. In addition, I do not understand why Western Union requires a photo Id for picking up only in the country of Nigeria of money, if they are doing nothing to protect you from fraudulent activity.

I have had severe financial and emotional consequences from this including the fact that I am continuing to be harassed by a man posing as "the fraud department from Nigeria" saying he will help me if I pay him. That he needs money to pay a ransom as they have caught the man that scammed me.

...

I had been testing this site for long time. Most of the profiles are fake, models created by marketing people. I was contacted by girls who supposedly are on the Houston area. After some emails, they start requesting money for help, ridiculous histories about something that happened to them, usually they are from eastern Europe.

Also, there are many racism and anti-Semitic comments. This people say they review the profiles, but that's not true. I followed one of the profiles and after establishing a relationship by email, I got the name of the girl and made a backgrounds check. No data appeared in USA, her name doesn't exist. I found her profile with the same picture and the same data on Facebook, a fake profile and a spam. So one more time this Web is dangerous. Identity lost.

...

I established an account with Match.com, and about a week later, I was unable to access the account. I contacted a representative and after about 15 minutes on hold, she came back and said that a refund was credited to my credit card. I asked why and she sheepishly admitted that my account was somehow hacked. I informed her that if my identity is stolen, my lawyer (a real shark) will make me a very rich man. After I concluded the call, I opened an account with LifeLock to ensure that Match.com's terrible security measure don't ruin my life. I would never recommend Match.com to anyone!

My account on Match.com was hacked and my personal information was stolen. Match.com had no explanation for this. Their solution was to delete my account and my profile from their server and then they suggested that I start all over again. Duh! Also, right click on any photo on Match.com and you can save that photo to any place that you would like. Try this for yourself! Again, Match.com is not a secure website, and if you join, understand that all of your information is out there for the taking. Stay away from these people!

I thought I had joined a reputable dating site after being offered a trial membership which I was never told for how long before they charged my credit card for a membership I didn't want, to begin with. I met a man with a wonderful profile and model handsome pictures. After communicating for over a month with his profile, saying he was located in NYC, same as me. He told me he is a sergeant in army and is in Iraq. This went on for a month; the romancing, the love letters and texts and IMs. Then, he couldn't come home as planned since he was going to Afghanistan.

He wanted me to take a package from him being sent to me personally by a US army courier. He gave me the email of this "courier" who eventually called me and told that he was stuck with the package at Ghana airport and cannot pass through to deliver to me unless he has $3000 for special stamp. I knew this was not so and I contacted match.com and they basically told me I used their website so they cannot return my membership charge even if I had been scammed on their website. So I had to put fraud alerts on all my credit, blocked phone number and went through mental and emotional distress which they told me they can't do anything about it. So I said I will go to the media or whoever i had to. I never heard from Match.com again. This is a scam which uses their dating site to romance-scam poor, unsuspecting women like me. I think something should be done about this.
