For you guys who use Match.com
I'm pretty good a spotting scams. There are a few ladies, usually young, beautiful ladies who post profiles seeking guys, of all ages, including those way to old for them. I'm not sure if it's one poster or a team of them, but they usually claim they are local, but currently in some foreign county and looking for love when they get back. There's always a sob story about how they lost their parents or can't find them. Well my lady friend (who I did not meet on match) and I decided to gave some fun and e-mail one lady having a UK address. A few e-mails and then, right on time, the urgent e-mail, about coming home but needing a thousand dollars to make the connecting flight. (There will probably be a variation on the theme... We had a bet on how much money she (or he) would want) So, you old farts over 40, if she's 22, somewhere else, on-line, and wants you......it's a scam. FYI

PS Nothing against dating younger or older etc. I dated a young lady for 2 years almost 20 years younger than me. But we met IN PERSON.

7. You don't know the half of it, Mandrake!
She's actually a renegade Nigerian princess and she needs you to send her some cash! She's got a royal inheritance for you, y'know. :silly:

3. i think that's eHarmony
and yes, I use AFF.com, and there are even more fake ads from women that claim to be american, but in reality are probably dudes from africa

5. That explains why they rejected my profile......
They said: "We don't try to match people of your personality type." (INFP- Very Liberal, Artistic, Creative and Activists.)

Can't have us breeding more of us can they.
