Reviews of Yahoo! Personals

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! :)

Dawn from Florida is right on. Everybody is flawed - the difference lies in whether or not we are perceptive enough to identify our flaws and courageous enough to fix them. The guys who are complaining seem to have this weird nasty characterization of women, yet they gravitate only toward the women who fit that characterization. I know lots of great women and Im friends with a lot of great women. And I've met some great women online. (Granted, I've met crazies online too, but that goes with the process).

I think the guys on this site need to go to Barnes and Noble and head into the Self-help section. And I bet any of these guys who read what I just said totally scoffed at that, and maybe that's your problem.

If you think how you've always think and do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

Hi,

I joined Yahoo Personals about 3 months ago - I rarely meet new men, so had started thinking I might be single forever if I didn't try and do something about it. Anyway, I had some negative experiences on Yahoo, including meeting someone who asked me my chest size, whether I would have phone sex with him and whether I would sleep with a woman, in our first conversation! I realized quickly that many people are using the site for superficial reasons - I know there are genuine men using it for sure, but I have no idea how you filter the others to find them. So I joined eHarmony after a month of negative experiences on Yahoo & it's been a much more positive experience - I'm not expecting to find the love of my life quickly here - I've joined because I want to be able to meet new guys, period, because my offline dating is pretty much zero! Anyway, the quality and sincerity of the men I have met is like night and day compared with Yahoo.

Just wanted to share my story.

Good luck to you all...

I new to this stuff so here goes. Reading the reviews for various sites is funnier and more entertaining then actually going to the sites.

Anyway after reading and laughing my butt off at some of the reviews for yahoo personals, I think I'll hold off on paying for the 'extra' services.

Actually some of the reviewers seem more interesting then the people on yahoo personals. Of course since I'm not paying I don't get to see anything :P

Good luck you guys and thanks for all the fish.

I'm going to buffalo wild wings to watch a game.

I am a 45 yr old male. And yes, I was a sucker and taken many times by the online dating companies scams(Singlescam.com, YahooisforsuckersPersonals.com, Matchyourcreditcardnumberwithourbankaccountnumber.com, Eharmyourcreditratingbyforkingoveryourcreditcardnumber.com, oh and tried that Plentyofishforlosers.com for free and, all to no avail. A couple of people commented on Singlesnet saying that they got alot of responses from Ghana, Africa women. So did I. Only thing is that the ones I got were all hot looking (like strippers or some shit). And it always seemed like I was hit on by hot 30somethings just before my full-member account cancelled (only to never hear from them again when I was too stupid enough to renew my membership).

One positive note I have is my younger sister got married in Lake Tahoe last month from a guy she met on Match.com (however, while talking to her the other day on the phone, they were argueing)go figure.

I think the bottom line is that these sites are pretty much a scam and, that you are better off meeting people in the real world ( say a homeless chick on the freeway offramp holding a sign (at least you know she probably only wants a $20.00 bag of weed and a burger but you really do not know what she has) lol. It's all a roll-of-the-dice as they say.

I think I will take the advice of my father who married 3 times and said "For the few minutes of sexual pleasure you get it is not worth the lifetime of aggravation".

Save your money and meet a woman in real life.............

I see men complaining about golddiggers because they set their income requirements too high. That's fair. I probably would not want a man who I perceived to be after my money. Ironically, I am more financially well off than most of the men that I have met. I'd be happy enough to find a compatible person with a comparable income.

The flip side of this is that men are attracted to beauty every bit as much as women are attracted to financial security. There have actually been studies on this relating to our most primal instincts in selecting appropriate mates.

A man looks at the picture and he makes a judgment. A woman looks at the income and makes a judgment. Is one worse than the other? Everybody can judge that for themselves. I do not know this for a fact, but I would guess that the more physically attractive a woman, the higher she sets that income bar.

For now, I would suggest that you bypass women that you perceive as gold diggers. I can guarantee that there is some much older guy out there, who doesn't care if she wants his money.

Just the way it is. On Yahoo, any other site and in real life.

Good luck to all of you!

I have to agree with Steve from Florida. The obstacle that put me off from online dating right from the beginning was the number of women that specified high income levels for their 'dates.' I couldn't bring myself to contact women that did this....to me, it's display of poor taste and a greedy mentality I'd rather not be involved with knowing. It's always irritated me that women only flirt with me 'after' they've found out what I do for a living...and online dating really isn't any different. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
