While other women are falling in love, this group seems to do away with chemistry, setting an emotion wedge until they examine a range of status symbols from income to the car you drive. After that, do they really know if their affection is real? Can the man trust it?

Doesn't the online experience encourage this because it allows people to put a series of questions out ahead of how they would learn it in the real world?
And don't both men and women lie to thwart the goldiggers, setting up a vicious cycle?

Dating services offer a superficial way of meeting, women are probably more superficial than men which is why no chemistry usually happens, plus the fact that an attractive girl has 30-40 guys to choose from makes her this way. She can be picky because Joe, Tom, Bill, Harry, Steve are all around the corner waiting.

You know, I can honestly answer; I've been through the online dating thing more than once. I'm currently in a relationship now; but through a service =). I've heard that some women on line can be gold diggers and I don't know why that is. I've asked many questions about a man's status so I can get a feel of what type of person I'm talking too. The reason being is that men (and women as well) tend to lie about either their backgrounds or education etc...they tell you they drive a really nice and whatever that may be, but you see them roll up in something that looks like the goat's been eating it. That will send up a red flag before even shaking that person's hand. If you're going to lie about one thing; chances are you'll lie about something else too. I don't really trust the online sites and I've been to more than one back in the day. You just have to decide for yourself on the clientel you run into =)

I dont think its that women on dating services are any more mercenary than women from anywhere else, I just think that, that particular medium.... removes the possibility of knowing if you are going to have that instant chemical attraction to another person, so you ask them about themselves. What else do you ask someone about if you dont know them, if not their car and their job?? You dont know them well enough to ask what makes them happy or sad, what their hopes and dreams are.

benji sorry you had a bad experience on dating services. but we people just have to much time on our hands, so it's easier to date online first, than in person. i've never done it personally, but that's not to say i wouldn't ever. but i look at my friends potental guys, and that's just to much info at the first get go. i like a little mystery on my prospects..............
