Dating Dames
Over on Dating Dames the topic of online dating profiles and the doctoring of some profiles is broached. They ask if the reader has doctored their profiles or been the victim of doctored profiles, unfortunately, I fall into the latter category.
I will continue to praise and persuade people toward online dating, because to me it was the best way to meet GOOD people, even though there were a few rotten apples in the bunch. I will honestly say that it was only a few, most of the others either didn’t work out cause of different personalities or we dated a bit finding it didn’t work.
Anyway, what I ran into was a few people putting ads up claiming they wanted something serious and they were sick of playing games, when all I got from them was GAMES. I was also under the impression too that if these people were paying for the service, as I was, then they couldn’t be looking for something shallow because who is going to pay for that? Fact is some do pay to look for something shallow and for many reasons.
So, I still say that online dating services are good and I offer the advice that you need to have an idea about profiles and reading them. There are always certain things to key you off into a profile being bogus, sometimes that means it is too wordy and other times it is only a few words or sentences, but even when it seems you have it down pat one can slip by you. Therefore, practice meeting in a public place for the first few dates and see where it goes from there.

I swore off online dating a few years ago... the only responses I got were those people who said they didn't like games and then proceeded to play them... I almost feel like if a woman says something about games from the outset, it may be a hint to me that that's what's really waiting inside their subconcious for me... run away!
the online experience makes it very easy for people to lie to you... it's happened to me, and it's still happening to my friends... glad to hear it's worked out better for you...
You are right, but people can lie to us in any form and even right to our face. I believe internet dating gives people the opportunity to talk more first before jumping into things. I hate to hear it hasn't worked for you and your friends, but as with other things it does take patience. As in meeting people in person through clubs, church, or friends we may not always get along with everyone or be compatible with everyone. Good luck to you and your friends and again.
