I know sites do this to get gulible men to sign up so I expected one or two, but should I write them all off? How prevelent is this on this site?And are there better sites, ones that don't do that?Thank you. Reply to this Question

 This is the serious Sageoldguy.....
On TWO occasions I met women through Match dot com... and BOTH lead to very good... and long-term relationships....
Soooo, I think that matching sites.... and "Match," in particular, are a great place to meet others....
P.S. DON'T ask me about that B&D/S&M site at Friendfinder!!!!... (I've STILL got the bruises - AND the green hair - from that....)

He made arrangements to meet them in a public place in the open so he could see them before he met them. The one woman was trying to pass herself off as 25 and had posted a pic of herself at 22. She looked more like thrty-five. He texted her and told her where to go . The other was a dud also. Another fake person impersonating a younger version of herself. be careful. they all suck...

I know what you are saying, Brother. I KNEW that Martha Stewart was going to be on Match (it was revealed on the "Today" show!!!).... and - don't you know - I put up my most persuasive and enticing reply to her... and the darned woman hasn't yet sent a note back to me!!!! I'm wondering if the woman is REALLY on "Match" after all.... OR, if she REALLY isn't as smart as she (and Matt Lauer) claim... such that she sees what a "find" I am.....
Good luck....

If you are really interested in meeting someone, surf the profiles that interest you, and actually read what they write about themselves. If someone seems like they might be compatable, send them an email and get the ball rolling. After a few emails, suggest a chat on the phone and set up a meeting date with them. This should all happen within a few weeks. Ask them out for coffee, a drink, something simple and in a public place so everyone feels safe.
If you are getting nothing but winks, what appears like a form letter email/message that is far from personalized regarding you or someone who seems to not get past just emailing/messaging, politely let them know and move on.
Be careful of free site, as you usually get what you pay for. You typically get socially inadequate people who won't actually go out and meet anyone or people out for a good time/one night stand or cheaters.

 HI
Oasis.com is 100% free. But if you want a real relationship and not a cheap fling your better PAYING for the realibe sites like eharmony or Zoosk. Although I think many dating sites have a bad rep these day's as so many people just get strung along or used.
Good luck

Yea, they're hoaxes especially if you haven't signed up yet. Many dating sites use this decieving tactic to pull in suckers. The women that message you are most likely fake so the only way to message them back is to buy a membership, only then when you're a member these women and thier winks magicly vanish.
Heart Detectives is famous for this. Love.com is too. I fell for the former twice in three years. Got winks and kisses from dozens of women before I bought a subcription. Naturally, I coudn't throw my money at them fast enough. I texted each of these and NONE of them messaged me back. That was the day I learned of the hoax.
You have an uphill battle to finding a legit dating site.
