Reviews of Yahoo! Personals

If it wasn't for Yahoo personal's I would have never met, my now husband.We were both very honest about what we wanted.Both of us were on the bad end of being cheated on.When I first saw him, my heart melted, but because I was scared, but at the same time I was attracted to him. I made the first move, yes I kissed him first. We talked for a long time, and started to get to know each other. Normally I am the person who makes the call to see someone after our first date, but I wasn't, I told him , the next move is up to you. Well he called the following day, we talked for awhile, I was very nervous, but excited at the same time.We started spending alot of time together. The following month, we decided to live together, so I moved to Geneva, and I'm still here. We got married a year later. The yahoo personals do work, I would recommed to everyone.

I gave Yahoo Personals one star because I had to...otherwise they wouldn't of gotten any.... I never found anyone on this site.....It was the same people you saw on the other sites.....Most people showed a picture of themself many years younger than they were....I had a few men to pick from and they really never changed.....that was it...

I tried to cancel Yahoo Personals and had a very hard time doing so....They want to keep charging your credit card.....which they will...I signed up for 6 months, I tried to quit at 4 or 5 months.....they would not let me....Then at 6 months they gave me such a hassle.....Now if I hadn't canceled that credit card....I do not believe I would of been able to get off from paying for this site......I gave them all my information....but they said my zip code didn't match....I know my zip code....They just wanted to hassle me....It has taken me a very long time to get off that site.....I still don't know if they have canceled me.....been working on it for a while now......

Never, never again will I sign up for Yahoo Personals.....Go to plenty of fish....it is free....and I have met a lot of nice people on there...

Anyone ever get that class action settlement check from yahoo? ($35 I think) I filled out the class action form and sent it in a long time ago--I'm sure it's 'lost in the mail' Anyway, the amazing thing is that Yahoo is even WORSE with the FAKE profiles...didn't they learn from the class action??? Wow, I'll bet they will get sued again. If you see smoking hot girls that have the most vague profile and nothing specific to your location (mention of sports teams, weather, current season, landmarks etc) then it IS a fake profile. Don't bother with their 'report this profile', obviously they won't turn themselves in!

However, I have met lots of girls thru yahoo as well, but it takes a LOT of work... just like sending out job resumes and you have to know how to filter out the bad apples. Anyway, I'm just surprised at how blatant yahoo puts up the fake profiles. Ok, Craigslist has lots of fakes, but those are different spammers that have something to gain and its free to post.

I have read the other reviews, many are very disgruntaled men. So I want to add a positive one. I have used Yahoo and Match.com 4 yrs ago and now. I live near a moderate sized town with very limited bar or social activities to meet women other than at work. So, on-line dating is a good avenue for me. Sure I have met many on-liners that were not truthful--espec in the "average" size section. I have also met many that were honest,caring and quality women...more than my years in the bar scene in larger cities. You get what you aim for. I am honest and direct in my profile about me and what I am looking for!! I had to "weed through" an average of about 5 to find one, but that is better average than the bar scene and I would spend a lot more than $30/mo. I dated one lady for close to 3yrs. So, complain if you must, but be truthful about who's fault it really is!!

Kiss My Ashley, right here: Oh my god.

I used to be a quas-hater(not nearly as miserable as you) too until i had to go to the hospital (TBI...it was nasty).

When i came out, i had a new outlook on life and my doctors did not want me going out to the clubs, and the loud music i couldn't stand, so i tried yahoo personals.

I'm a pretty handsome dude, and yeah it feels creepy when you get invites and say to yourself "no way carla from the sticks", but thats what it's all about: finding the right someone.

Online dating feels pretty lonely, but you have to think of how the girl on the other end feels. Everyone says things like "my friends made me do this" or "I'm sick of the bars/games" or "are there any nice guys out there", so you know its a level of desperation.

People like Kiss My Ashley are just miserable on the inside, to sit here and write a review calling everyone losers, c'mon girl. It's a cold&lonely world, and whats a few bucks here and there to try and find a date? It's not gonna be be perfect, nothing is, but you try and chat up someone, break the ice, share some interests, and see what happens. Worst case, you're out $13/mo. Tough sh*t. It's what you make of it, and although i'm of the impression that there are creeps-a-plenty, it's a good time scrolling through the images and reading profiles, you never know what might happen. 3 stars=worth a few dollars, just don't eat fast food or twinkies for a month, you can save $13.

on line daters, can be serious! yahoo personals refuse all money's worth. they refuse woman that which they are looking for, that is there, and can be benifiting, for each and every one of us.my vote is this.they can't charge nor sell,they are underhanded with all of us both male & females.they hurt people and have violated all members, and they are turn coats where it comes to who they chose to send or allow as if it's something to promote which is greed! they are a greedy company that does no service.they are money hungered, and refusing co-connections. they block off pages and overly control information that could shield us from harm,basically i wouldn't let the public be charged! set up an our account! for free.keep it in rotational information,to view all that are in total data bases,without selection based bias, all information,all profiles before us,and basic delete,for safety.basic. web page of all basic information,that is sharable upon request.with pages that show who they all ask out. so none are cheating. and playing for a fool.as many others need to be doing.we should be able to see who they talk with. if they had sex. and all pertaining information to that nature.

The best I can say for Yahoo is that I got a lot of responses to my profile, so I could weed out the creepier bunch. Those who I did meet tended to have lots of personal issues, but I did also meet nice normal people who I am still friends with to this day. So I think Yahoo is fine as long as you keep expectations low and learn to avoid the crazies.

While there ARE loads of quality people on Yayhoo's Personals, I'm going to have to say that it just isn't worth the cash. From what I've seen, they've got one of the highest monthly fees going. The biggest faux-pas (IMHO) that they commit is in not allowing non-paying members to respond to a PAYING member's email. Here, they have paying customers who now honestly think that those of us who have posted profiles (PRIOR, I might add, to being informed that there is a fee for doing anything but skulking in the e-shadows) but not joined. I suppose the theory here is that I (we?) will then want to pay the exhorbitant fee. Sorry. I may be interested, but I'm not putting my credit card out there to be hit ad infinitum by Yahoo!

Well, that's my $.02... but at least I've got it to spend! :)
