I have been single for 7 months and so I have tried a few internet dating thingos. I have found that most are fronts for "Russian Bride" scams (they write for a while then ask for money to come and visit) or full of absolute nutters (not that I am saying that I am perfect). What are other peoples experiences?
PS. No I won't lend you $850 to help out with the airfare so that you can come and visit....

I am in Australia (very rural, you know kangaroos in the front yard etc) and it seems that the syndicates work over all the sites.
Could it be that they only focus on ugly people like me.
Luckily I have only lost a little at this stage...

Well no internet relationship that I've had has turned out like this. They've never asked me for anything, I guess maybe it's different for some people, we get lucky.

All the people are not same, trust me, there are good people in the world. I met my wife on the internet, we met, and we both love each other very much. Nothin is as beautiful as having her in my life. Its just the trust that matters, you can change the people with goodness in your soul, but, surely, every coin has two sides.
RECOMMENDATION: Never pay $

If you live in an area with lots of people your are, try eHarmony. But whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM "GREATER EXPECTATIONS!"
