Recently I’ve found myself a lovely lady, so I’ve decided to sign myself out of the Internet chat rooms and dating sites.  So what’s my Gripe?

It’s a small minority of the people that are the problem, not the web site.  Most of them are looking for a genuine partner and I met up with some, they turned out to be nice friends… However, there are people in there that have half naked pictures, but on their profile it says things like, “I’ve got a boyfriend so not looking”, or “just here for friendship...” and there others that say, “I’m looking for a gorgeous guy with a big ****”, etc. etc, but when you look at the picture they have of themselves, they look like complete freaks!

Internet dataing sites, you never know what freaks you will find there.

The “good looking” ones have a real attitude problem.  I am not jealous of them, or anything like that.  I sent this one person a message via the chat room. “Nice picture, your very attractive” I said, and in turn she called me a pervert!  Really, do you think so?  So WHY is your picture in full view for the world to see if your touchy about people passing comment?

The thing that REALLY gets up my nose about Internet dating sites is the amount of pointless information that some people provide.  They spell out their entire lives, just stopping short of giving you their NI number and bank details!

Here’s an example “…The man I am looking for has to be tall and handsome and drive a fast car. They must be able to understand my needs and like the colour pink because I like the colour pink…  Oh and purple, that brings out my eyes which are my best features along with my legs which are really nice.  I try and where skirts so I can show them more, but normally I wear trousers for my work.  By the way, I work in a burger joint; I have 4 stars now and am allowed to use the milkshake machine.  I go out on Saturday, Friday and Thursday nights; I also go out Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday and Sunday, so most nights.  I would say that my favourite drink is VK blue.  My favourite song is Hey Baby and I like dancing in nightclubs with my friends.  One of them is a right slapper though, because she stole my boyfriend once, but doesn’t matter though cause I didn’t love him anyway…”

You get the idea?  I’ll stop there I think, but if you are the unfortunate guy that stumbles across that, with a picture of a blonde wearing next to nothing.  I would say move swiftly on to the next profile or quit the Internet dating sites and chat rooms!

I was on a dating site for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. I as suggested go involved with the forums. One guy got a thread pulled for asking a question about women's periods. I asked why this had happened and thought freedom of speech was still alive and well. I came in from work yesterday to find my whole profile pulled! Now if that's not Big Brother I don't know what is. I wasn't trying to ensite racial hatred or anything, just stating that everyone is entitled to free speech! I am disgusted by this. What's the point of having a forum if you're not allowed to have an opinion????

I met my partner 2 years ago on plenty of fish and we had a beautiful baby girl together in January 2008. I would recommend it.

Vritual kiss, this is a discussion site, not a place for you to spam us with your web site address. If you want to advertise your dodgy website go spend some money and leave the forums alone.

By the way when I did put on the profile, even though I had or the information, saved from his profile, it still took me ages. Time I would have spent doing alot more interesting thing.

So you have to ask yourself what kind of mooran has all that time on their hands, to go to so much trouble for absolutely nothing. It's not like the people are there for real, it's just another forum for players to play with people's feelings. You are better meeting someone at a bus stop, at least they will be for real.

I agree about the internet sites. When I found out my boyfriend of a year and a half had a profile on a well known dating site, and that he had even met some of the other users I informed the website.

I told them, that as I believed I had an exclusive relationship with this man, and not used protection (we were trying for a baby), and that they should warn the ladies he had been seeing to get an std test.

I waited a couple of days, but the website did nothing, they didn't even acknowledge me. I suspect because he was paying a rather large subscription.

So I went in and created my own profile, used the photos that he was using (the one I sent him,had been touched up where he was bald,) I put the orignal one on, used the same nick name plus a digit, kept his profile exactly the same but added a few home truths. ie. he had just been dumped by his girlfriend, and was desperate for someone to love him etc...etc...

It was on for a whole day before he noticed, but he managed to get my profile removed straight away. However, before it got removed it had recieved 80 hits and consequently his profile got deleted, but only after another paying guest had reported him.

He was a mess for a few days, kept telling me I was the one he wanted etc... etc..., but I did not believe it, and fortunately he had to go away on the following friday for two weeks. In that time I changed my number, e-mail etc. and he still hasn't been able to get hold of me.

Hi I am a new online dating site owner, I agree that they are not used for what they are supposed to be used for now a days.But then the companies that own them do not vet each profile as they should do because they are more intersted in the revenue that it brings in each month.

Why not check out my site, I vet it each day and only allow members that are genuine and looking for that special someone.

Internet Dating really is a joke these days. It may have started out on a more sincere note but has really deteriorated over the years attracting all kinds of flakey people who just want to waste other peoples time. I think eBay should buy up and run all the dating sites that way there would be rules and people would get banned for inappropriate behavior. End of Story!

With attitudes like that no wonder a lot of men are giving up on the whole thing. Women obviously prefer each other's company so why don't they just come out (as it were) and say it. I am not so desperate for a date that I would risk running into any of this lot.

Kim you should answer his ad like in that song, you know, 'somethingsomething pinacoladas and getting caught in the rain'. no? aw. and then crack him in the head when he actually goes through with it to meet up with you, cause men do mean 'screw' by 'date'

Unfortunately, there indeed are a lot of people online who portray themselves as someone or somebody they're not on this dating websites. I wouldn't necessarily call them freaks, but simply some very sorry misguided individuals with serious self-esteem issues! Look before you leap my friends, and understand that all that glitters isn't gold, which is to say if it looks and/or sounds too good to be true, there's a very good chance it probably is too good to be true...
