What do American women not bring to the table? What's wrong with IMBRA? *I'll dig up stats later when I'm not so busy* Half, if not more, of all marriages in this country fail, and women initiate the proceeding in about 75% of those cases. Thanks to the rise in popularity of no-fault divorce and biased family court judges, a guy who gets married stands a high chance of being taken for most everything he has on nothing more than a woman's whim. Toss in a phony DV allegation (which many divorce books and lawyers will recommend a woman do), and he's ruined. By way of comparison, the divorce rate among American-foreign couples is around 20%. IMBRA was passed with zero debate and zero testimony, and surreptitiously tacked onto another bill during the Christmas rush. I'm going to assume you haven't even bothered to read the law. In short, if a man using such a service (big name companies like Match.com and Yahoo are suprisingly exempt) wishes to contact a foreign woman, he must first agree to an extensive background check, including criminal history, sex offender status if any, previous marriages and how they were terminated, minor children, etc. All this before he can legally say hello. And the same government who allows these outbound restrictions makes no provision for reciprocity on the part of the foreign party. Just imagine how this would play out if the restrtictions were the same for Joe Blow on the street wanting to chat up a girl he sees at the bar. Freedoms of speech, association, equal protection, and the right to privacy are all tossed out the window by this piece of legislation, to say nothing of imposing an air of guilty until proven innocent by the government.

You really can't "make" it happen. It's better to just chill and be open to possibilities, then when the tiime is right, it will happen for you. That said, I used Match.com and found the woman of my dreams.... She lives an hour away, so I'm quite certain we'd never have found each other without the help of the web site. -- "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits." -- Mark Twain Reply Share This Add to Favorites Ignore LoveMyIssues More Posts by LoveMyIssues Report Post Find your perfect match,make your life complete 100% free.. ...,lovecity.com,ez-match.com,eastmeetwest.com ,whitewomenblackmen.com,visuallyyours.co.uk,planetpersonals.com,matrimonials.com, aafricanbride.com,love rs2.com,asianmatrimoni al.org,... dating service, free dating site, single dating, adult dating, cyber dating,... woman, dating sims, dating guide, single parent dating , 100 free dating...up today! See your perfect match in just minutes. Make your life... RE: match.com? - Relationships - Page 5 - City-Data Forum From what I understand, if you have to pay, you are a little more serious. Myspace is sometimes used as a personal ad (and pretty fascinating--talk about getting a different picture of someone--look at who their friends are, comments people put on.) Personally I prefer a mix of people not focused on being single - that really is one of the least important things about me but definitely important when it comes to dating. And I like input from people that are working at their relationships so this site is great. My complaint about single groups is that when they get so focused on being single, you get odd behavior (people not bothering to recognize you because there is no chemistry, stupid games like spin the bottle and kissing strange men--no thanks--talk about desperate.) RE: match.com? - Relationships - Page 5 - City-Data Forum There was a time that I started looking at the personal ad profiles on yahoo. Some of them left me open mouthed, some with a smirk, some with "yeah, right". I don't know what people expect to get from some of these ads. Many seem like they're looking for something that doesn't exist (or too many expectations to be fulfilled by one single person) and they sound either really fake, dumb, or stupid. The men's ads want a "fit, trim, attractive, athletic, good cook, interesting conversation, 5'9", long hair, willing to travel the world in my boat at a moment's notice", etc. The women's ads want a lot of the same and honest, hard working, financially stable, no kids, church-going, likes to dance, travel, ski, swim, raise my 14 y.o., enjoys fine wine and romantic, candlelight evenings at home", etc. I don't know which ones are worse, the men's or the women's. I really thought they were dumb. But then again, I wasn't looking so I could "read" objectively. I might try one of these sites and make up this really awful profile about how badly I need a strong man (really a handyman), someone to pay the mortgage (but they get no claim to the title), support me so I can spend the day at the spa, hang out with girlfriends, don't ask too many questions, willing to sleep with my dogs and cats (that one is true :-)) ) and don't interfere with my time on CD! lollllllll What you think? I'll be inundated with messages. :-))) RE: match.com? - Relationships - Page 7 - City-Data Forum I use to feel that way and it is one reason I'd put my ad up for three days and take it down. I've known someone who went into a shop and the guy said "aren't you hot to trot" or whatever her name was. But I think the stigma has lessened and I've gotten over it. I don't post anything I wouldn't tell someone openly. Certainly nothing sexual. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to say I am single and that I would like to meet a nice guy. It doesn't make me desperate or willing to take just anyone. Besides how many of your neighbors and co-workers are on the dating sites? Do married people cruise the sites? Married people aren't suppose to be putting ads on these sites. Although if they think the grass is greener, they should look at them. Full of unrealistic expectations and men wanting women who are them--in same shape, earn same money (I wish) and women are probably no better. Ads aren't an easy thing to write--you have to stay positive, show your values, who you are (hopefully, not who they wish they were) without being unrealistic. I've tried not posting my picture but rarely does anyone look at the site and if I get interest, they want a picture and when I email them pics I don't hear back. That is much harder. Man, where's my therapist? Where's my paper bag? I am not ugly - just average--not obese--just not thin. I would rather they respond because they like what they see in addition to my ad. Sure idealistically they should like you by your ad but if you were in person what you see first is visual. We are visual. People that have more depth, understand to look beyond the visual, even though it can tell you some limited things that are helpful. Like the guys that are scowling in their pictures--they really should not put a picture. There are some damn scary looking people on those sites. I recognize someone at the college from a site. I asked someone else who works there about him and then introduced myself because I needed something from his area but I'm not interested so didn't say anything about the ad. I don't know if he recognized me or not. I certainly don't think less of him. Re: Single?

Start up a online club.Go nation wide.Set up meetings in bars or where ever. The idea is for couples to bring their single friends, meet some new people and possibly inspire a love connection or two. It s a great idea for bars and?that includes music and drink specials with no cover charges. The best way to meet new people is through your friends. It s a way to expand the circles and meet new people in an unintimidating way. Plus, it s funny. We don't take ourselves too seriously. We are not trying to be Match.com - exactly the opposite. You can come alone, come with friends. The point is to just come meet someone. Strike up a conversation with a new person .
