Where can I begin?
The overall venue of the Mach.com online dating sight, is really good given the fact that is is very easy to use thier website....in comparing to others.
The quality of men were great. No match for me, however because I have a over rated standard of what I am looking for or will settle with.
All of the men I met (over 25 of them!) which was all in less than a month, were very nice (ok, one was a drunken jerk and another was an angry type) and had true intentions of meeting a good friend or match for a relationship.
The only negative things I noticed about, not the sight, but the people on match, are the following. You really have to take into consideration though and be able to ask the person for more info before meeting them:
The pictures the men posted of themselves,were very poor and yes almost NONE were recent. Most resembled NOT a fraction of reality.
Physically fit to someone is different than that of another. (hah)
I can offer some very good advise though, when using this or other dating sites:
Ask for their cell number before meeting them to have a grown up 2 way conversation instead of penpaling and make beleiveing a text/email can develop into something more....
Ask for a recent 'few' pictures to be sent to you immediatly.
Ask how long they have been divorced OR have been separated from their significant other.
Ask them why THEY believe thay are divorced.
Upon meeting them, ask them WHERE exactly they live.!
If they talk about the 'negative' things in their lives scrap them and move foreward and do not waste time being a sounding board for someone who wants pitty.
Ask them 'why' they wanted to meet you/ If the answer is your photos, ask them about your profile and see what they thought matched you up to theirs.
If they smell like alcohol when they show up for the meeting...move on...and fast, so you dont becomethat pitty party later.
If they want you to drink alchohol (more than one drink on a first or second date) you BETTER be an alchoholic, or move on.
Do not give them your number before youhave thiers and have placed a call to verify. Never give your home number out or exactly where you work if possible. Never leave your drink on the table when going to the bathroom...(hello date rape) Get to the meeting place 'first' if you need to know what car they drive and never meet at a place such as their home (no matter how rich they are). By the 3rd date you should ask to meet thier friends or a family member in some way.
If you have more than 4 dates...do a back ground check on them!
Good LUck out there! It is great fun!
...so give me a call and I will help you!!!!!
