I met my wife on one of those sites, about 9 years ago, I guess people are getting more and more jaded. I was completely honest, I'm really not the President of my own country. I'm not an Astronaut. I'm not a Doctor or Lawyer. I ride motorcycles. I like dogs. I got a lot of replies. I met some real freaks. I met one woman in Salinas, that asked me to pay her storage so she didn't lose her stuff, in the first 10 minutes after we met. That one didn't quite work out.
I met several welfare mothers, that were looking for someone to raise their ghetto ass kids. Wow, you have your own car and a motorcycle? You must be rich. Really, I was actually asked that one time, "Are you rich?" Nope, not me.
I met a few professional women, nice enough, normal enough, but apparently I didn't make enough money as a machinist. I made enough for the welfare chicks though.
If you wade through the flotsam and jetsam, there are some gems to be found. It also helps if you have a job, since a lot of people on there, don't.
I almost forgot, a few of them asked me if I was going to hit them. Really. Uh......no. I guess there were some issues from previous relationships.
