Reviews of Yahoo! Personals

When I first started a profile on Yahoo Personals I had so much fun and looked forward to chatting with as many women as i could and soon was. I would check every morning and raced home to check after work. It wasn't long before I met "THE ONE" you know the one you never thought you would ever find. The one that changes you because you want to change and be the very best you can be. I met Nicki and we fell in love. I love her like I never loved anyone in this world. We spend every moment that we can together. We plan on getting married and living together forever. Ours hearts have become one. If you are honest and true this could happen to you. Thank you Yahoo! Life is so good. Thank you God for giving me Nicki!

i first used yahoo personals 3 years ago. i did meet someone and we dated for 6 months, but it took 3 months to meet her and there wasn't a single other connection before that one... what i remember from that experience was that most of the ads were either fake, or it was a girl who just wanted to browse. if you don't pay you can't write emails. i wish the site would let you know before you put up your money how many of the ads are able to write emails.

i just went back on to try again. it is the slowest website i have been on in 10 years, literally. it looks great once it loads, but it takes foooooooooooooooorever... and still, it does not show which of the girls are current so that they can email you back... i can tell about half of them are fake just by doing a quick run through.

someone please suggest a good site? i am keen to get back out there!

Hi Everyone!

Some people have mentioned that something else is going on here, that Yahoo may be posting fake reviews. Well your all wrong, and I'll tell you why, if this gets through. Take for instance the previous review. It has been posted over and over here by what looks like the same person. Would someone do this, nope. Yahoo, nope, this site does not get enough traffic for Yahoo to be posting fake reviews. It's the owners of this site who are doing it. You see when you click the Yahoo link by the review it's an affiliate link. They get commission for sign ups so a positive fake review is always at the top. Mystery solved.

After much indecision on whether or not "on-line" dating was for me or not I decided to join yahoo personals. I thought what do I have to lose. I made contact with a few guys but nothing seemed to click. I decided to end my subscription when I got a message from a guy that seemed like a wonderful match for me. I decided to rejoin just to be able to respond to him, and boy am I glad I did! We talked on the phone for a week before finally meeting. We knew from the first conversation that there was something special there. Gary will tell you that the minute he drove up to the resteraunt and saw me outside he knew I was the "one". We had a great night and didn't want it to end! That was on Friday. The following Monday I went into the hospital for a scheduled surgery. Gary was waiting for me when I got to my room. Due to complications I winded up staying in the hospital for over a week and he was by my side the entire time. He brought me home and nursed me back to health. We have not spent one night apart from that very first day in the hospital. We got married 2 1/2 months ago, and are trying to start a family. I never believed in love at first sight, but my opinion on the subject has since changed. We were married exactly 5 months after we met, and my life is truely complete and amazing. Imagine the joy I would have missed out on if I had not taken the chance to join the personals and take the first steps to meeting mr. right! Thanks yahoo!

I thought I'd Give Yahoo Personals a TRY.... What a Joke!

I contacted this one lady and after a few emails she gave me her phone number. Then a couple of days later her pysco boyfriend called me wanting to know if I had a relationship with her. He kept calling until I told his I was calling the cops on him. After this, I got a hold of the girl and all she could say is she hated jealous guys. They say you can only blame the people and not the site but the site does need top step up it's security. I just watched a clip on CNN where that had busted a Registerd Sex Offender on Match.com. The security is needed, these sites need to screen who's on their site. These sites say they can't let non-paying members respnd to your emails for your security, it should work the other way around as well.

Larry,

You have obviously never been a member of Yahoo Personals. If you were an ex-member you'd know who poorly managed the site is. You'd also know that most of anything that's Yahoo ( message boards, chat, IM, News ) is about half broken down. You're lucky if a Yahoo page loads 75% of the time. I agree people are taking a chance dating online, but the process should be as painless as possible.

Dear sir or Madam, I stongly reccomend Yahoo Personals because contrary to some singles opinions (which I strongly disagree),it is a very efficient and well managed place to find a friend or mate for life. I have met some very nice ladies and some that were just playing games. There is a very large number of potential ladies that are down to earth and truthful. All members of Yahoo Personals are taking a chance of finding a real true mate. Even though sometimes it does not work out to your satisfaction, at least you took that important step to find someone who does really care and is thoughtful of your feelings. I still have not found the lady I really want as a permanent soul mate, but in the end I really do think I will find the one who will really accept me for my faults and that we will finally be as one. My advice is to keep on searching for the right one for you. For men and women this takes a lot of work and eventually your effort will pay off. THere is always someone out there for you. Go for it. SIncerely, LarryO' Quitman, Texas.

I have been using the Yahoo personals for about 3 months now. Of the several people I have met they have ended up looking much older then their photos. People must be using photos from their youth in their profiles, or airbrushed with makeup and all. Of the middle aged women I have met they are in situations which require financial support. Living in bad areas, run down living situations, single mothers with kids trying to make ends meet, etc. I don't feel that the quality is there. This may partly be due to the fact that you tend to run in the same circles when you meet people naturally. Internet dating is different.

Yahoo really needs to fix their billing system. They ended up charging me for an extra 3 months. I had to place a block on my CC just so they wouldn't do it again. I don't think anyone who works for Yahoo actually manages this site, because there's always a problem.

I had far more luck when I put a listing on Craigslist. There are quite a few quality people on that site, and they seem to be more willing to take a chance on you. The down side is there are just as many perverts on Craigslist as Yahoo Personals.

I found that when I was on Yahoo Personals, the availibility of my profile would go from on to off for NO reason. I was told about this by a couple of the women I had exchanged emails with. This site has some serious functionality issues

Yahoo's working hard to drive away decent people, and they're working harder at attracting TROLLS to their site. I guess this would explain the quailty that you'll find on Yahoo Personals.
