Reviews of Yahoo! Personals

This site is a notch below match.com and just as bad as Eharmony. The "selection" of women both in quantity and quality was severely lacking. This would be the last site I would join. The site is fraught with fakes and uglies.

I was on Yahoo personals back in 2005. I ment the most wonderful man in this world and we matched 98%. He was all I was looking for as we loved the same things in life. I was honest on my profile and so was he, so saying that, if you are honest then it does and will work. We IM for 4 to 6 hours every night for 30 days (my chose) and learned so much about each other. Then came the day June 3 2005 to see each other. Wow! we both hit it off great. We dated ever night for 3 months then lived together happily. On Apr 21 2006 we got married. Yah! We never fought about anything. We were so happy with each other and so deeply in LOVE. We made a pack that we would talk everything out and if we can't fix it we would throw it out. That worked. Everywhere we went people would say you guys are so happy. My babe would reply "you see that smile on my wifes face, well that's my job" That was the way it was and I did the same. I couldn't do enough for him and he the same for me. We lived for each other. He would turn down my bed every night and I put his tooth paste on his tooth brush for him. There were many things like that we done all the time. Letting each other know all the time how much we loved each other and what a great spouce we were to each other. All these kind of litttle things that are said daily mean the world and are everlasting!
Then on Jan 19, 2011 my wounderful husband didn't wake up. I thought I would die, loosing this man was unbeliveable, I'm still in shock and trying not to go crazy. His big heart just stopped. No pain and I thank God for that but I miss him so much. I cry all the time and he never wanted to see me cry. He would always make me smile even when I got upset about something. I can truely say I never got real mad at him. He knew just want to say to make me happy. He took me places I've never been and out to eat foods I never had. He spoiled me. He would say you are spoiled, I said yah! he said OK I'm doing it right! them he would laugh! Oh how I miss my husband. I will never find that kind of love again but I have wonderful memorys!
So saying all this Yah! the internet dating can work, just be honest!!!

It seems that Yahoo Personals has been taken over by match.com. Shame, because I met someone nice on Yahoo Personals around 3 years ago, and was going to join again since I had no luck on other sites. I even met someone nice on that site even though I only joined quite briefly. Although we both joined because we were new to the area, when we met it turned out that we both lived close by in the middle of town and he could see me walking across the parking lot to my favourite cafe and had always wanted to meet me because he loved the way I used to take short cuts over the islands dividing the rows of cars and was dying to join me, especially after learning on-line that we worked in similar professions, in the sciences, at the time. I must say it was very interesting listening to his adventures in the North Pole region during his time in the army as well as his favourite parts of the USA, and he certainly had an air about him. In fact when he signed his signature on the receipt it was like getting an autograph from the king himself! But then he moved to another part of the state making it too difficult to meet. But we sure had fun climbing over the loose stones in the parking lot.

I work in an insurance company. My character, cheerful and lively, honest, warm, like making friends, reading, travel, listening to music. In her spare time I like my friends to travel together, to see the wild landscape, flowers and birds, I like the sun in the happy laugh, I sometimes take their moment of happiness, and look forward to sharing with you! I am by nature a happy, I hope that the infection can be happy that you let us share this joy every minute of time, the sun is so bright, blue sky is so clear, I would like you to pass this message and become each other's partners. To It! This is an open embrace of you,

Unfortunately it's not just Yahoo...it's ALL of the dating sites that have fake profiles. I hear from most all of them too! I've tried just about every dating site & have met a few nice guys, but just not right for me. Don't waste your money on eharmony or match.com they were terrible & matched me up with guys I would NEVER be interested in. I have been on & off the dating sites for 6 years now and recently off because of all the liars and fakes. I'm done...hopefully I will meet someone in person through a friend or something like that. It's just too scary with all the crazy people out there these days.

Is anyone else struck by the irony? Reviewers who say: "I used this online dating site 5 years ago and I'm using it again/still using it but all the other women/men on it are losers/are picky-unrealistic/are players-sluts etc because they are the same women/men who were on it when I was on it 5 years ago. But of course my reasons for still looking for love online are valid and I'm not a loser like all these other people." Whew. I gave up on online dating years ago. Thought I might try again until I read the reviews for various sites. It's not the sites that are discouraging. It's humanity. Good luck to all.

Since this is my first time really reading the several different dating sites posted, I can honestly say that I am SCARED out of my mind with even trying to "look" for any type of FRIENDSHIP, RELATIONSHIP,or any thing else. People, we are all adults now, (I hope), we no longer need to lie or play games. Can't put all the blame on the companies. Be true to yourselves, the potential prospects, and the sites that you visit. This is not fair to those of us who really would like to start a friendship and see what could come of it if anything.

I had a very positive experience. I enjoyed being able to filter out the type of person I wanted to date. I wasn't looking for marriage just a nice man who was intellectual, good looking, & wanted to go out. It did take alot of dates and honestly communication is the key & only one person tried to show me a pic of someone else but after emailing me for many months he felt guilty and sent me his true picture which was better than the fake. I would suggest to choose people with good education backgrounds & you can honestly tell by the emails who has this quality. All my dates may not have been perfect but it was a real great experience at times though I only dated men that were foreign which really was what I preferred and online dating helped me meet the right one we have been married for two years, together for 4 years thanks to yahoo.

Well, I am glad that I found this website so I can talk about my experience on Yahoo Personals. I had an account on it back in 2002. It was the first year I tried online dating. I met my 2nd and 3rd EX(s) on it ... including my fiance (soon to be dumped) right now. I had dated other different guys and I would say if I could go back in time ... I wouldn't have done that. Honestly speaking, most of them are losers. Maybe I am not lucky enough like other girls that they met the ONE without trouble ... or maybe I was young and I didn't know myself too well. Most of the guys are looking for sex, and some of them have some motives (all kind of crazy reasons) to get you to go out with them ... so if you really want to go out with any of them, please take your time ... I mean don't rush into anything they ask for. Make sure to listen to your heart ... if you don't feel right, more likely something isn't right about the situation. I heard others say eHarmony and match are good sites. Once I am back to single, I will give them a try. No more Yahoo Personals for me for sure!!!!!

Bottom line is that most of the women I have encountered are completely undesireable. It is what it is. The only reason I joined was because I am new to the area and was looking for a different way to meet people. If the women on-line aren't new to an area, yet are on-line, have cute pictures AND seem desireable, they are either fake profiles, or there is a very good reason why they are single (bi-polar disorder, delusions of grandeur/ completely unreasonable expectations, a loathing towards the opposite sex because of bitter past experiences). I won't type cast every woman to be like this, because there may be ONE good one out there who has slipped through the cracks, but the odds of finding one on an on-line dating site are very low to completely non-existent, and not worth the time.
