document.write("Been on an off the datingbuzz site for 2 years met a girl and date for about 6 months, but after that ended i tried the site again,and it seems that regardless of your personality or charm the picture tells the first story,so often a downside is if you dont picture well you dont get \"pictured\" well! anyways its not a bad thing the site I mean, just seems there is a dodgy underbelly especially with people posing as things they are not!.

document.write("I met my wife thru a dating site.<br /> <br />I was on the site researching for an article and she had received a 10 gift subscription from a friend as a gag. The funny thing was that we had passed each other in various places at various times prior to actually meeting thru the site. Upon further investigation it was discovered that we actually had common acquaintances.<br /><br />Kismet or just six degrees of separation? . Publius");
document.write("<h5>not convinved</h5>");
document.write("I joined an online date scene,datebuzz infact,and found that at least 85% of the men that approached me are nothing but scoundrels.They were mostly married men seeking discreet sex,DUH!!.The other 15% were genuine and I did make a few very good friends,I have met 2 of them and they are fabulous guys.I do think anyone who wants to join a site like this MUST at all times scrutinize anyone who invites them to chat.Tak care to protect yourself online,because no matter what ,we have real A'holes prowling the date and chat sites looking for people to take advantage of.. anon");

I met an alleged widowerand for 4 months he strung me along, we met, he bouht me gifts, I thoughtit was a mtch made in heaven,. Then the alarm bells rang and I discovered his whole story was fiction, he was married, lied about his job, his kids his free time....but what a charmer. Girls just be carful, ask all the right questions - and if he can't see you weekends - look for the wedding band hidden in his pocket!!!. tigger");
document.write("<h5>Two Success Stories</h5>");
document.write("I have two friends who found love online.  Both couples are married now (one for three years and the other for four).  While you do need to exercise caution, you can meet just as many con men and fraudsters face to face!  But then, I met my husband in a nightclub, which is probably even more dodgy than meeting somebody online.... ");

document.write("Yes, meeting online is indeed a possibility! Especially for those in their mid 30's and 40's. After finding myself single at 39, what  better place to start meeting people than online. I did it for about 6 months and met my match - he's awesome - but in doing that, I also made some fantastic friends along the way - and NO weirdo's - at all!!It sure beats sitting at home waiting for that \"Knight in shining armour\" to come and carry you off into the sunset!! And a whole lot better than grabbing a bar fly!! So if you're single and have not tried the internet scene - you don't know what you are missing!!!. Sally");

document.write("I think online dating has two sides to it.I've tried it out, was on for quite some time but never actually met a girl in person.Maybe it's because I'm still young, 22 now but was 20 at the time.The worst part is,that as a guy it will always be hard to find someone online.A friend of mine even made a test, set up a profile with a random pic of a girl, within 10 mins there were 85 messages.It's no wonder that you hardly ever get a response.<br />As a female I think it's okay, but you have to be really careful.There are so many loveable losers out there who just want one thing.And the real good guys don't even get a chance.<br />.

document.write("Ek is 'n professionele persoon (regsgeleerde) wat vroeg vanjaar geskei is.  'n Baie goeie vriendin ('n prokureur) het my van Datingbuzz vertel.  My idee was aanvanklik om net te korrespondeer, maar ek het gou agtergekom dat 'n ontmoeting nie uitbly nie.  Ek het vir ongelooflike interessante mans geskryf, en wonderlike mans ontmoet.  Daar was die een of twee kansvatters (getroude mans op soek na 'n buite-egtelike avontuurtjie), maar dit was  maklik genoeg om die kaf van die koring te skei.  Binne 3 maande het ek 'n baie spesiale man ontmoet.  Glad nie die stoere boer waarmee ek graag wou korrespondeer nie, maar 'n regte Engelse stadsjapie!  Ons eerste ontmoeting het in Johannesburg in 'n coffee shop plaasgevind, en alhoewel ons mekaar nog nie lank ken nie, praat ons reeds van trou.  <br /><br />Daar is wonderlike eensame mense op Datingbuzz.  Ek kan dit vir enige enkellopende persoon aanbeveel. <br /><br />Nicolene Erasmus<br />Potchefstroom<br /><br />. Nicolene Erasmus");

Of course, they were also friends. luckily, i avoided their claws, and saw their shallowness. Watch out girls, there are many frauds.. Sasha");

I paid for one guy's visit to my country - shame he couldn't get past his virtual issues, they are there, whether he is online or not. Anyway, I suffered as a consequenece with his friends tormenting us. Guess he needed to be open, truthful, honest. i hope it can work, makes our ocean global on this blue earth of ours nd that is exciting. Sasha");

document.write("Players & emotional manipulators<br />Like most we are attracted to the narcissistic self gratifying playa’s … the lairs… the cheaters, the smooth talkers! Clearly women fall for the nice guy category and this is what we land up with ‘dysfunctional, in secured married men’ on dating sites!! <br />True 85% of men are married on the dating sites!!! I’ve read a lot about people saying watch out for the bells ringing or the signs!! Oh I’ve looked out for all the SIGNS & waited for the warning bells; Player, MARRIED with kids & wife, bond etc…!! But then the 44 yr old slightly over weight man I met was a charmer! I had to find out by his best friend of 20 odd yrs that he had a wife of whom he claimed TO LOVE very, very much with 3 kids the youngest being just 3 years old!!!  Oh boy!!  This 44 year old executive who had it all working for a top outdoor media company turned out to be a manipulator, the best lair, energy user, charmer you’ll ever find on this planet! I’m convinced he wrote the book of ‘excuses’ for men. He knew all the tricks ever….Look out for the signs of being call ‘SWEETS’ or when they introduce you to their so called ‘special friends’ in other words you’ve been introduced to his #### buddies!!! Ladies don’t be BAIT for these MARRIED in secured men on dating sites!<br />Enclosure!!! Learn to analyse men get rid of them if they have baggage or emotional damage send them packing!!!! <br />Why should we suffer from BASTARD SYDROME!!!!<br /><br />ANON……<br />. may");
