Online Dating Websites

Imagine for a moment you are an introverted Internet user,
(statistics reveal that a large percentage of Internet users are introverts)

Online dating can be a way to get to know someone that might lead to a good friendship.

The down side is that there are many of these so called dating websites that use deceptive practices to engage the website visitor.

Some of these unscrupulous websites actually have pictures of fake members, robots, emails that seem to be from a real person,however in reality it is designed to do one thing and that is to get you to pay a fee to be a premium member.

Often on these websites you are presented with pictures of impossibly good looking people, all waiting to meet you if you only pay the fee.

This is simply fraud and should come to an end, very quickly, however this is not the case with most of these websites.

Some of the websites actually are endorsed by business reporting agencies, with trust seals and the like.

The reality is that these websites exist for the sole purpose of defrauding the member.

Just remember if it seems too good to be true, photos of people that appear to be modals, emails from members that clearly
state that they are interested in a certain age group and you are not in that age group, there seem to be so many of these websites out there that legitimized websites are also suspect.

Some websites, will allow you to view a profile, while most will only allow the viewing of a profile after you have paid to gain access to membership privileges.

In a recent experiment, I searched for a dating website, and was presented with a number of member profiles that were well nothing short of a miracle, I have lived in this city for many years and I can say confidently that the number of online profiles that fit in with the information I was presented seemed impossible.

So I signed up and once I got into the member area, none of those amazing profiles were available.

Not one single profile that was shown before signing up was actually present in the members area.

Take a lesson from someone who knows, keep looking, there has to be a better place to meet people online.
