In reply to the discussion: I'm Here To Tell You That Online Dating Sucks [View all]TlalocW
(15,374 posts)3. I don't know about a scam, but I'll tell you I've had little luck
I'm grandfathered into Match.com. I joined it in the late 90s when it was free. Twenty years later, I've never had a date from it. However, I'm willing to admit that it's me. I'm a childfree atheist living in the midwest. I've gotten notices from people interested in me, but they've either had kids or were scams - the latter I'll play with to waste their time. Last one was a very attractive "woman from Africa" who just happened to use to live close to me before she had to return home to Ghana. I kept "her" on the line for a couple of weeks until we declared our mutual love for each other at which point, I asked "her" for money so I could fly to Ghana to marry her.
Never heard from "her" again.

Depends on the site. I've had some good results. Results on the free ones, not so good.

The two I've been on mostly feature people in my city. There are others of course...

If you just open up and be honest, I'm sure there is someone out there for you
