Based on my personal experience with dating apps if I'm interested in a guy I almost always will offer up my social media profiles to show them I am who I say I am. But unfortunately I have yet to have any luck meeting any guts who I feel would be worth getting to know any better

I tried the whole dating app thing for a while and my experiences were so bad I started questioning my self worth. I've never tried any international sites but after reading some of these comments I doubt I will. My dreams of marrying my dominican princess just went out the window lol

I have tried many of the online ones and cancelled them all. Met lots of men but I can get to know people here easier. I am willing to travel and have done so here. If you have few boundaries you will meet people here that are not superficial.

I do appreciate this space as it serves as a good spot for discussion and community.
Yeah. Most apps designed for dating are worthless for that purpose.

The international sites have women mostly interested in getting 'help' Coming to America, versus women from America have a different agenda.

The apps suck. My ex is on a few of them. Boys blow up my messenger for hook-ups. Ew. I won't date anyone anymore.

I'm lead too believe there a con?

Many overseas prospects just want a Caucasian American for an upgrade in status, money, and a green card.

I get the same thing, being besieged with both men and women when I'm abroad, and foreign people of both genders also make friend requests on Facebook, and start declaring their undying love.

If the game fits you, then play it. If the game is designed for mass consumption then accept it. Kinda like music.

I went onto a Chinese site. They guarantee that the women on there come onto you, which they certainly did. I got the free trial, which lasted for only an hour or so. Long enough.

How it worked: the women on there were employees of the website. It was their job to talk up the rubes. They couldn't give out email addresses or phone numbers. The rubes had to pay to talk to the employees.

The women could have just as easily been men-- or bots. There were photos of the women on the site-- all professionally done model shoots, with no selfies in sight.

Sure, it was total and absolute fraud. But they were being no more dishonest than any other dating websites.
