I joined a dating site a while back. Within an hour I decided that this site wasn't for me so I deleted my account, or so I thought… :left: …
I have tried to delete this dating site account once before. They keep spamming me with, "you have a new message"
Of course, you can't read the message until you habd over your credit card details! 🙄 .
Now, it just so happens that this 'South African' website gives a UK telephone number as a support line. :confused: .
Somehow, I don't trust them. They are just too keen on getting my credit card information based on empty promises. That and their tendency to not delete accounts suggests that this site is a money making scam! :irked:

Well, I'll see if the emails stop. But I'll be sure to make a follow-up post if they don't! :whistle:
I have an acquantaince who is member of all possible Swedish dating sites, and he pays approximately 200 Euros per month. For some/many people, dating sites are great…but at the very end much depends on the personality of the person. Going back to your post, some dating sites wait for a couple of months since you last were active before they let you delete your account completely. 😉

In short, that is pure exploitation! They use the details you provide to create fake messages to members who haven't 'upgraded' yet! :irked:I've been getting about five new 'messages' a day since the first time I deleted my account. That just doesn't happen, women don't make first contact as a rule, they leave us men to do all the embarrassing, hard work.Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
Personality only comes into effect once you actually meet. People fake their personality online and they do it as a matter of course. 🙄 .Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
He's insane! :eyes: That's more than my salary! :insane: He can hire a premium class, live-in whore for that price! :left:

You think that's ever stopped anyone? :pBesides, as long as two people are discreet about it, who would know? :left:Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
That is a major taboo here in South Africa. :irked: .Woman that come on to men are generally considered to be sluts here. And I haven't being fortunate enough to be the recipient of that attention anyway! :awww: .Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
Women tend to tolerate bad personality if a guy has either money or good looks from what I've seen. :left: .And if he can afford to spend that much every month, he must have money! :sherlock:Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
My English level has been deteriorating ever since I first started blogging! :insane: .I blame the Americans! :whistle::p:sst: With apologies to my American friends! 😀
I realized that in my eager of writing a comment here, my English level went down quite a bit. Originally posted by qlue:
Indeed it is!Originally posted by qlue:
According to my acquantaince, women do make first contact more often than guys, here in Sweden anyways.Originally posted by qlue:
Not here, since buying sex in Sweden is not in order with the law. He is a bit desperate I would say, but I don't think that he will succeed finding a long-lasting relationship, his personality is not the greatest. :right:

Possibly, at least I would have been suspicious of her motives. :awww: .But it would depend on the woman and how she approached me as well. Women generally like having me as a friend, but aren't interested in me romantically. 🙄 .Mind you, I would probably have dated a slut when I was younger! It would have, at least, improved my street cred! 😆 (and maybe given me some of the social skills that I lack? :whistle: )Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
Women have been known to marry for money. Sure, not all women want that, but there are enough women out there who are willing to live a lie for the sake of a good life! 🙄 .Originally posted by MizzMartinez:
But then, Sweden doesn't really have unemployment either does it? :sherlock: .Prostitution is almost always the result of poverty! :awww: .It's true that some people actually do it as a career, by choice, but that is the exception to the rule. 🙄 .
Originally posted by qlue:
Ofc not, but…prostitutes in Sweden are not that "cheap" from what I've read.Originally posted by qlue:
But if you would have been that fortunate, wouldn't your first thought have been…"Oh, a slut!"Originally posted by qlue:
He comes from a wealthy family for sure. And he has some magnificent humour (not in a positive way)…but but.Originally posted by qlue:

One of my friends was using FB to try to meet girls. He was successful but only in meeting them. After those dates he would always be disappointed. Eventually, he gave up.Then he met a girl on some birthday party and they are still together. A year ago she moved in to his apartment and I think soon there will be some wedding party :hat:Anyway, I don't think those websites are THAT successful. It all depends on personality. I laugh when I see a commercial for one dating site here in Canada. If those girls can't find a boyfriend (they are all models, I think) then there is something very wrong with them 😛

It pisses me off when they do that! It's so blatantly obvious that the women on some of these sites are trained models who are merely putting on an act! :irked:There's one site that is 'selling' Latino 'brides' from South America. 🙄
Yeah I agree Internet Dating sites are Wrong & Big Money Scammers & :yes: They do Exploit Your Personal info Mate.:rolleyes:My Friend was Infactuated with this Russian Girl through Oasis online Dating site & since She has mentioned asking Him 2 Pay 4 Her International Visa to come to OZ!! She's given Him the Cold Shoulder cos of coarse He's not Paying it.:lol:I personally Think She's a Married Fake & that Her & Husband go around 2 these Online Dating sites trying 2 Scam people.:jester:I think Your better off going to Parties or Bars as You can Meet some really Interesting People there.:happy::cheers:

As a Muslim, I wouldn't go to either 'parties' or bars. :left:Truth is, the people that frequent such places are usually not interested in marriage. And the easiest way to pick-up women in a bar is to pretend to be married as the women there generally want nsa relations! 🙄 .(I've actually had that demonstrated to me before, wear a wedding band and the women are all over you! :insane: )
Being a Muslim doesn't Your African Beliefs Practice Circumcision of both Sexes??:confused:

Heyyyyy! The jury is still out. I am innocent until proven guilty on whether I've been a bad influence on Teresa's English. 😆 There is a fine line between what is considered deteriorating English skills and … becoming Cooler with USA English. :jester:
Originally posted by gdare:
That reminded me of that old TV commercial for Breck shampoo, I believe it was … with Kelly LeBrock (Steven Seagal's Ex) saying, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." :lol:But, yeah, some women do say that they in fact DO have trouble getting dates BECAUSE they're beautiful, Hot & Sexy. They say this automatically makes guys assume they're taken … and / or Stuck Up.

There is no such thing as female circumcision. 🙄 I believe the procedure you're thinking of is called a clitorectomy. I do not know to what extent this is practised or in which countries. I first heard about it from an episode of Jag, many years ago. In that episode, the practice was, supposedly, a Saudi custom.It is known about and widely condemned by educated Muslims. There is nothing to support it from a religious point of view.Quite honestly, it's a barbaric concept that can not be condoned by any sensible person! :irked: .Originally posted by Suntana:
:rolleyes:Originally posted by Suntana:
Well, if it's such a problem then, why did they spend all that money on the cosmetic surgery and breast implants and why do they spend three hours getting there makeup 'just right' twice a day? :whistle: .I've heard women say that and most of the ones that do are not naturally beautiful. Nor are they often all that attractive. 🙄 .Consider Pamela Anderson, who's supposed to be so beautiful, and compare with Meg Ryan or Drew Barrymore either one of which are several leagues ahead of Pamela Anderson in the beauty department! 🙄 .
Or Liv Tyler :whistle:
Pamela Anderson was very pretty just prior to "being discovered." Then came the 50 pounds of Silicone. :insane:

There are very few (if any) reliable dating/matchmaking sites around. :awww: .I've test-tried many of them and most of the ones I've tried are more concerned with turning a profit than with actually matching people up! 🙄
I found your blog from Shallowmuse and just wanted to say a few things on this topic:#1 Americans English is..not so good, I'm saddened when I hear my language butchered on a daily basis or talk to Europeans and others overseas that speak it better than most native speakers I know :(#2 I'm not so sure about online dating and may try it in the future but it does look a little daunting, I mean you have to try to 'sell' yourself and just seems weird. I guess the advantage is you can write your profile in your pajamas and not go to bars where people can get creepy.
hm, a web site that wants to make money above all else? sounds like the internet :p I suppose there is the old fashioned thing about saying 'hi' to people on elevators etc instead of playing on cell phones or staring at the floor. I was thinking lately of giving that a go when ready to do that whole 'dating' thing sometime.A bright idea of mine, learning actual social skills.. :doh:
Originally posted by spiritcrow:
The best I've been able to achieve is to mimic social skills. :p .But to learn real social skills might depend on our develepment during childhood. 🙄 I think some aspects of socialising may be set when we are really young and cannot be acquired later in life. :awww:
Oh don't blame childhood, anything can be learned. I practiced tonight at some art event. Ok I didn't do much but just warming up. Social skills aren't "set in". see? http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Mingling-Techniques-Mastering/dp/0312354312now stop with your excuses (and I'll do the same) 😆
Firstly, I should say good luck with the search for a future Mrs Qlue! :yes: That would be good to witness on MyOpera.Originally posted by qlue:
In Britain nearly every prostitute is supporting an illegal drug habit. Paying for prostitutes is nothing short of sexual exploitation. Although, in Britain, paying for sex is not illegal. However, it is illegal to advertise sex for sale or to look for prostitutes. 🙄 And, so called female circumcision is a problem in some parts of Britain. School girls are sent back to their parents' native countries for the practice to happen. 😡 It happens although I hope not extensively.

If there is even one incident that the Media becomes aware of, they will present it as if it is the norm rather than the exception! :irked: .Amongst Muslims, circumcision is meant to be done at birth. Amongst Jews, it's on the eighth day after birth. :left: .And I'll say again, "female circumcision" or, more correctly, clitorectomy, is the equivalent of cutting off the head of a guys dick! It is a vile and despicable defilement of the human body and totally against Islam and Civilisation! :irked: .
Originally posted by qlue:
I totally agree with this. And, I agree that I doubt that this is very widespread. There have been some cases but the British media always likes to paint anything controversial as being prevalent even when there are only a handful of cases.
💡 We are stepping into next stage after: industrial society > post industrial society > service society > self service society. Now it is time for "exploitation society" 😀

That's only one part of Female Genital Mutilation (or circumsision, if you will). But it can be much more than that. This is practiced in 28 countries (according to wiki mostly in northern, eastern and western Africa plus the Middle East) and I agree with you that it is vile and despicable. It really makes me sick to my stomach when I hear about it.
Aadil, when you like some girl don't wait, approach her :up:
On some famous forum from Croatia I've read a topic where some guys complaines because most of the people using some Serbian and Croatian dating sites are using them just to find people with same or corespondent sexual fetishes so they can't find any normal female person there 😀

Dating sites are obviously not what they supposed to be, but sometime when you look at MO you can see how it can be used as dating site too, I can see many people met their partners here. Or because as I can see you don't like bars you can try taking some classes(like astronomy, art or other stuff) for adults or similar, I think that can be nice place for meeting a partner…
