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.
