Anyone else use online dating sites ?

I'd given up on all that stuff long ago. However, inspired by another post i saw earlier this evening. I figured i'd just go along to one of the old sites i used to inhabit, see if my old log in details worked; see if anything had changed; just to see if it made me feel any different about the whole idea.

So i get there. Sure enough the log in worked. Go to 'Gallery' - This is where you have photos of other users(allegedly) and you put either a tick next to them if you are interested in talking to them. Or an 'X' if you're not. So scientific !馃槈
And the first three photos ?.... were of women i [b]KNOW[/b]!!

One of whom, [i]lied[/i] about her age !......by some ten years !
The other declared herself as single when she's been married 13 odd years !
And i'm pretty sure one was a woman i work with......wearing a WIG !馃槪

Leave well alone bobble ! Leave well alone !

@SW-User I don't doubt it for a second !
But given that we all hide behind a username and many have more than one account. How could you ever be sure of which person/personality you were talking to ??
SW-User
that's where you ask friends to help you check up on the user lol
@Picklebobble2 We could form a Dating Corner. Real people. No references. That is something individual. Just people seeking people. Discover the truth about those here we are attracted to. If we don't already know.

@SW-User Geeeez ! is [i]that[/i] how it works ??
Waaaaay too complicated !
Why can't folk just be honest ?
@Picklebobble2 Honesty is the best policy. There are some honest, wonderful people here. Some are even available.

@Picklebobble2 That would be a nice change wouldn't?

@SW-User I don't know. In my humble. Personal experience. Folk always think/feel they have to hide so much !
Like.....It's better to [i]seem[/i] to be this person rather than accept the fact they made a few errors in life and let their real selves be seen.

@Picklebobble2 I am too much the other way and people prey, or use to I should say,on the weakness I had exposed.
Now, I am a bit more guarded,but I try to be real.
