Dean Answers Questions About Internet Dating Scams

Why are these scam artists here pushing their internet dating site?

They are preying on the broken hearted and vulnerable in the singles and dating site. I know because I am single and visit this site to answer questions. However, these posers are there to promote their dating sites, which are a scam. They always will want a credit card eventually. They’re very phony names (Journey, Skayla, etc). If you feel the same way, please report abuse!
I haven’t gone to one of these by the way!!!! Maybe I posted this in the wrong spot. It’s more to bring attention to others so much younger people don’t get taken advantage of who are desperate, lonely, etc. Thanks for the answers!

Which of the following Internet ‘Dating’/Matching website(s) is/are Scam(s)?

I’m a 33-year-old, straight(heterosexual) male who is single, without children; and attempting/trying to: “ ‘find’/‘look’/‘seek’. . . attract a ‘mate’; a peer-aged woman; for mutual love or the experience of casual ‘dating’ ”.

I’m a member on the following Internet ‘chat’/blogs Personalized Web-page websites such as:
*. MySpace.com
*. FaceBook.com
*. YouTube.com
*. LifeKnot.com

I’m also a member on the following f r e e Internet ‘dating’ websites:
*. PlentyOfFish.com
*. Mingle2.com
*. DateHookUp.com
*. CraigsList.org

Lastly, I’m a member(subscribed/paid); with membership totaling at l e a s t $500.00 monthly; on the following Internet ‘date’-matching websites:

“Speed ‘Dating’ ” websites:
1. HurryDate.com
2. 8MinuteDate.com
3. PreDating.com

“Matching/ ‘Date’ websites:
1. eHarmony.com
2. Match.com
3. Yahoo.com
4. True.com
5. Chemistry.com
6. FriendFinder.com
7. BigChurch.com
8. Passion.com
9. Fling.com
10. CollegeDateLink.com
11. Cupid.com
12. LoveAccess.com
13. AdultFriendFinder.com

I have placed/posted friendly photo(s) of myself in my personal ad/profile, which is completely filled-out, on each of the websites mentioned above. After reading each match’s personal ad/profile, I write and send a different email to each peer-aged match(the woman or women) to initiate contact with her.

However, I constantly experience that the ‘matched’ person(s)– the peer-aged woman/women; regardless of race/ethnicity, regardless of her photo(s) or the lacking a photo of herself on her personal ad/profile; do selectively eliminate me; for example: they do n o t reply to any of my email(s) I sent. As a result, any and all these women selectively eliminate me as potentially being either her platonic friend or her amorous/romantic partner; based upon h e r preference selection of “Her Ideal Person’s” traits section in h e r personal ad/profile as follows:

1) Height [ “Her ‘Partner’ m u s t” be at least 6feet 6inches tall],

2) Race/Ethnicity [skin-complexion/skin-tone],

3) ‘Body type’ [ “Her ‘Partner’ m u s t ” be either: muscular, toned, athletic, or slim]; and

4) Income/Occupation [ “Her ‘Partner’ m u s t ” earn/make an income of at least $50,000 annually]
