I so agree

Quote From: nagirrom

I took out a one month membership with match.com after seeing a Dr. Phil show about this new relationship service. The very first email message I got through match.com was from the very handsome contractor who said he was currently in Africa working on a project building a housing project. He said his home was in North or South Carolina (sorry I can't remember which), he was a widower raising his two children and they were his first priority. But the honey-tongued flattery he laid on me was unbelievable, and that coupled with his repetitive use of certain phrases and poor grammer sent up some red flags for me. Also, he wanted to stop communicating through match.com and asked me to set up an account on Yahoo IM so that we could talk. He wanted to know all kinds of details about me and my life but was very reluctant to provide any about his. So I asked him some very direct questions about what time of day it was in the region of Africa where he was, what the weather was like right then, what the season was, and he supplied answers which, when I checked them out on the internet were completely inconsistent. I blocked him. The next day I received an email through match.com from another very handsome man spouting basically the same profile, flattery, and sadly, the same repetitive grammer patterns. I blocked him. The next day, same thing, different photo, etc. This went on and on. I cancelled my subscription to match.com and allowed the remainder of the month to run out without using the service. There's $35.00 I'll never see again.
 The only thing they are looking for is to get laid also. I am a very pretty girl and have lost alot of weight. I am fun adn a good person. this last guy after telling me how chunky I am still wanted me to have sex. than he came up with this nick name I hate softic. What the hell was that supposed to mean. he said I have not ever been with a girl who has a little chunk on them. I was so stupid drunk I had sex with him and am mad because the other guys I was not drunk and ran far. One guy I said excuse me get off of me. Men are gross and I can see why woman are attracted to other woman. Taht guy was also smaller than me in height and really was small. I think he was saying stuff about my body to make him b\feel better about what he lacked. I was very nice to him also. He even had the nerve to tell me what days and night I could see him and how don't be angry if he didn't call for days because he has a life and this is just some fun thing. In three weeks we would be moving on but he will have brokern my heart adn he didn't \want a phyco on his hands. The two times he took me out he ordered expensive things and hated them and became angry.

All I could think about was how my ex husband had treated me and loved me and how I wished I could just run.

I really will not be treated like I am a piece of meat any more. It is better to be alone and not deal with the gross men.

Alisa

Smart of you to check him out.  Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders!
