I made 2 gorgeous ramances out of here. Americann cityzen and finnish.Yes, classy,yes millionaires,yes respectful to me,all wonderful before I have changed the geography,to fulfill my planes..). So,at least now I know it is possible here,this members are still here and now we are just good distance friends.To be continued...)
Totally agree with you Conyersguy, having only one pic does "seem" suspect to those of us who have our rader honed in, Spend some time thinking about what you'd like to say and how you would like to come across and have others perceive you.You're not putting much out there, hun.
I'll send my pictures via email. My location is e.coast. I speak 4 languages. I want to meet an honest, kind, sincere, smart, good person for ltr. I AM VERY REAL! I didn't get any serious letter yet.
It's because no one knows where DPO, AA, USA is, and you only have one pic, and you don't tell anything about yourself or what you're looking for in a man. This combination suggests scammer. If you are real, you should differentiate yourself from that shadow. Posting on forums & blogs are a good start. It shows there is a real person behind the beautiful picture. Good luck.
I've had a minor interaction already as I've just joined, but all guys who've contacted me are very polite and looking forward to meeting some of them.
PS: any site will have few false identities I believe, but then in life too... you meet a guy at the conference and he all appears amazing and great ...and than you just keep finding the stuff which makes your skin shiver...
That's what dating is about, isn't? We are all looking for 'The One' and sometimes it takes time and effort to make sure he can find you and you can find him :)
Golly!!Here we all are..in the same boat!!I think its a life lottery as in everything keep being the best you can be ,go on dates if they really seem brilliant..be kind and treat as youd like to be treated..theres arrogance and sweetness everywhere you have to decide which to focus on..(one date with someone who i think was keeping his options open!!)
I would say thank you if I didn't perceive the remarks as cynical or judgmental or even emasculating in some way. I appreciate it more and it demands a thank you in response... That's the way I see it.
Meeting a nice person here or anywhere is really not hard at all. First try being nice to them. Be respectful, considerate and flirty but hold to your boundries, expectations, morals, or values. Make them feel valued and acknowledged but if they don't ring your bell don't lead them on.
Be the person you would like to meet and know. Treat them as you would like them to treat you. Don't use them for a free meal, lead them on, tease them, emasculate them if its a guy, or be mean or rude to them.
And just maybe they will ask you out on a second date...or a first one for that matter.
I agree.
I'd like to add even if you are not interested in the other person, be GRATEFUL that someone finds you attractive. If they give you a nice compliment, sincerely say, 'thank you." You'll look even more attractive.
Smiles....Thank you for the suggestion HappyUSGal.....as the current statistics show for the ratio of Men and Women in Alaska is now 49% Men and 51% Woman. It's pretty equal now given that the State has grown over the years. Statistics also show that most of these men and women are between the ages of 23 and 38. I do belong to some Drag Racing Clubs up here but to find the time to go out and meet anyone is the problem hence....online services to meet anyone seems to be the thing for active people. I'm in no hurry which leaves me time to be more selective. I don't have any problem attracting anyone if I go anywhere it's getting the time to go out that is the issue.
Madison....please define "a more mature, sophisticated woman". I am not "cheep" as you may have suggested and it's not my looks that has stopped any meetings, it's the distance. I find in most profiles that "distance" doesn't matter but obviously it does when they see I'm in Alaska.

I have been in a great relationship with an incredible lady that I met on here, for nearly year now.
Introduce yourself to the good ones, and don't even look in the rear view mirror at the bad ones. Oh, and I see another poster suggests you tune it down a little. In my opinion, if you look like you do at 50, heck yeah, enjoy it !!
Since i'm here i never had a date.Afther a few e-mails you do know a bit more about the person, and untill now i didn't had a good feeling and as i'm prudent, i stop the communication.Maybe i'm wrong and they are not all scams, but i prefer not to take chances on that and follow my intuition.One guy wrote me in his second mail that he felt lonly all his life and that he had a dream when he was a young boy that he will meet the women of his life and now he knows for sure that women is me.And more..he was glad that he had me as his future partner!He never saw me in real life, so creepy! An other wrote me that he had a carreer that would allow him to retire very soon but he couldn't tell me what it was and that he was studying for a masters degree (at 50 years?)beside that his mail was full of spelling faults.I also make them but i'm a native dutch speaker so... And an other guy wrote me he was a flying wine maker and when i asked him where he actualy lived now, he didn't answer back.I asume that there is a even amount among lady scammers and that the men on this site are being approached by them as well.So that's why i never make me illusions about somebody i write with via internet because words on the paper are very easy.I prefer to meet somebody in a casual way and i must say i had never a relationship with somebody i met via internet, but i have a few friends who where succesfull with internet and had long lasting relationships, so its posible and an other option.
