Reviews of Yahoo! Personals

Well, I guess you could say that I am a highly specialized professional. I work as a nympho porn star with a strap-on fetish. After pushing and shoving my way around all day at work, I would like to meet a guy that appreciates me for what I really am, not what I do for a living. I get lots and lots of requests for dates from the guys at Yahoo! Personals, but I know from their extreme interest in my job and my professional tools that they are not interested in the real me, but just want to use me for their selfish desires. Why can't they just buy my videos and let me get on with a real relationship like other gals have? As a real professional, they should know that I need to save my energies for my job and want to be treated like a real lady the rest of the time.

One of the BIGGEST mistakes someone can do is post their wedding registry website on a public forum. What happens is the links to these wedding registry sites get passed around to other message boards, and the people who troll those message boards will post extremely vulgar messages on these wedding registry sites they find. The trolls do this just for a laugh, and it's a contest between the trolls to post the most vulgar messages.

I'm not going to repost the link on the previous review to another site, but don't be surprised if someone else does.

One light example of trolling is the messages that have been posted on the match.com section of this website. You have 2 people calling eachother names over the subject of foreign women. They might as well take their arguement to another website.

On another subject, I had read that slightly more women use the internet than men. The article I read said women use the internet to complete tasks and find information, and men use the internet to entertain themselves. You can sum that up with the idea that men use the internet is a toy and women use the internet as a tool.

If this is true, this would partly explain why men vastly outnumber the women seeking romance on the internet. Also, another factor that drives men to the internet is the fact that men are the ones who have to approach women in public, and men are the ones who have to deal with rejection.

I don't think the people who run these dating sites are smart enough use this information to maximize their profits.

I tried online dating for a couple of months with other sites, and I was very nervous after having a few bad experiences and just getting out of an 11 year relationship. I was about to give up when a friend told me about Yahoo Personals. The first day I signed up I did a reverse search, Looking for someone who wanted to meet someone like me and Mark's profile came up. I emailed him and he wrote me back saying that he liked my profile, we emailed each other and talked on the phone for a couple of days, then we decided to meet in person. We met at a local Starbucks about 8:00pm where I had my teenage children to spy on us. We knew from the start that it was a perfect match because we spent about 6 hours together on the first date. I got home about 2:00am in the morning and did an extensive background check on Mark because he was just too good to be true. We have spent every day together since our first date and we share so much joy and laughter about how we met. One month after we met Mark asked me to marry him and I accepted his proposal. We are both in our late 40's but we feel like teenagers again because we are so deeply and passionately In Love. We have both been married and divorced and learned alot from our past relationships. We feel that we both have been given a second chance for happiness. We are engaged to be married on March 24, 2007, 6 months from our first date. We are definitly compatible and have alot in common. We are Soulmates, and we would have never found each other if it wasn't for Yahoo Personals. Thank You so much and we recommend your service to everyone. If you want to see photos of us go to www.cherissanmark.com - We are very Greatful for this service.

ROFLMAO, I guess Yahoo ran out of lackies to post the 5 star reviews. There will probably be a few random 5-Star reviews in the future, I'm sure. It's still sad to see that Yahoo could only find a hundred and fifty people who are willing to post on their behalf.

This site has a few random people who like to post garbage and insults. I suppose these are folks that have been burned on these dating sites. Look at the review on the match.com page from 03/30/07. If you Spend a few days reading through this site you'll find a few more of these 'holier than thou' reviews.

If you're mad about your own lack of success on match.com or yahoo don't take it out on others. Try to figure out why you failed in the first place. If you're a woman who's failed on these dating sites the reason's in the mirror. The reason you had to sign up to match.com in the first place is because you don't have any idea as how to attract a man. Then your poor courting skills and bizzar expectations shined through in your emails, profile, and phone conversations.

Let's face it, if your goal is to date the elite 2%, then your dating skills and everything else needs to be up to par. The truth is you're only capable of attracting someone who's life, skills, thoughts, and situation is the same as yours. I've looked through plenty of womens' profiles, and I've seen to profiles of women who want to date the cream of the crop. Many of these women have had their profiles online since the early part of the decade. When you look at their pictures and read their about me statement you'll see and feel this idea of them being entitled to some man of greatness. They have no idea that there are plenty of other women who have MORE to OFFER to these guys of glorious ambition. As they speak of their hopes to have men with ambition, they're doing nothing to mirror the same thing in their own life. I dare to hope these womens' excuse isn't because their a women, and women can't be leaders but the woman behind the great leader. Why, aren't those days forever gone? Prehaps, they only use the womens' rights spill when it's to their advantage.

They must adapt to the correct way of thinking, learn the proper courting and attraction skills, then rethink as to who they're trying to attract, then go for it. Don't come here and tell us the people online suck.

I suspect Yahoo and/or spammers probably put far more fake profiles of women than men on there. It is probably worse in my area because I am near LA. There are a lot of foreign dating services in LA and Beverly Hills who might pay Yahoo to put the fake profiles on there.

I met a very nice guy on Yahoo personals quite a while ago. We talked over email for a month or so then we decided to meet. We found out we have a lot more in common and the yahoo rating system was exactly correct and we are a perfect match. It turns out we are the same age and only lived ten minutes away from each other. We would have never met without the personals. We have so much fun together and hang out all the time now. I always thought that the internet dating was stupid and didn't work but I proved myself wrong this time. I have found the perfect man and he treats me like a queen. When I signed up for the personals I only wanted to find dates, but there was something that stuck out about his profile to me. It turns out that I might have found the man that I will spend the rest of my life with. Thanks for all your help and letting a shy country girl find prince charming.

way too many fake female profiles on yahoo. very much a scam. lots of "russian" girls who write things like, "i like man long time and treat him good."

match and eharmony seem to be the only legitimate sites.

I am presently dating a very nice lady. I am thrilled wiht her. She seems happy with me. We went to the same high school. She was a year ahead of me. My class had 421 students. I do not know how many were in her class. We did not know each other. The computer said we are not compatible. She is extrmely organized. I am extemely disorganized. We seem to undestand this and it is working.

I have dated other people from YAHOO. They have not gone so well. I have dated from other sights also. I do not think Yahoo is any better or worse than any other dating sight. I feel HONESTY is the most important part of any dating. My friend is honest. I have been honest. We enjoy a lot of the same things. Neither one of us lied about our age or weight. We both dislike smokers. We both like Harleys. We both have 2 jobs.

I think we have found each other. It is because we were both HONEST. No suprises when you meet is GOOD. We both know what we wanted and neither one of us misrepresented this. If a relationship starts out dishonestly it has only one way to go. It can only go wrong. I have discontinued my personal add. It is because I have met someone. The fun has started but the work to maintain the relationship has also started. We both know that we are going to have to put in effort. We have to try to make this go on. It started HONESTLY. It has a much better chance things will work out. I wish all people trying to date GOOD LUCK. My tip for whatever that is worth is BE HONEST!!!! J

I have to agree with the post below me. She knows what she is talking about. I am over 40 with my child almost grown and do not want to date a man who is still raising small children. I have already raised mine without his help, so why shoud I help him? And PICKY, you better believe it. The 55 year old man with 3 children under 10, usually rowdy boys, wants to date a woman in her 20's?? Most 20 year old women are not interested in taking on a bunch of childen because they want to have their own and don't want a husband whose paycheck goes to the ex and his kids with her. The women his age don't want to have to deal with kids and planning around them. Face it men, you had your fun in your 20's and 30's and waiting to marry and have children in your 40's, now your are divorced with children and expect the woman who had kids younger and is now enjoying her free years to help you raise yours. You need to wait till the kids are grown, you will probably be 65 or over by then, to find a woman, and not one is her 40's at that time. Yahoo seems to have a overload of this kind of man.

GGGRRRRHHHH. I have never been so disappointed and frustrated than I have in the past two years. I've tried Yahoo Personals and Match. Both are a joke. WHERE ARE THE REAL MEN IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ON THESE DATING WEBSITES! I have never in my life read profiles that are so sugar coated and fake and met so many spinless men in my life. I'm 48 years old and have been divorced for four years now. My conversations with my ex are more stimulating than the dates I have been on. The number one problem with the men on these sites is they are all going through what I call "male menopause". They want someone who is 5 to 10 years younger than them. And what is with these 55 year old coots who have 3 children all under the age of 10? What the heck were they doing when I was having my kids in my late 20's? And the first thing they say in their profiles is "I'm really busy with my children but want to start dating....." Okay - woman my age don't want to date and babysit at the same time. We want to D A T E and not between soccer, baseball and football games. We have raised our kiddies and want to start having a life without having to raise another litter of someone elses kids. Dudes - wake up and smell the roses. You started too late. On top of that, they then think they can get someone who is 10 years younger than them! Oh my god - have they looked in the mirror?!?!? Now I'm not a runway model and I know at my age you do have to lower your standards in the "looks" area. But my experience is they still want the runway model (or maybe the permanent babysitter for all those little ones). God bless the young ladies who jump into that scenario. I'm going out with the girlfriends and having fun. And while I'm out having fun, the old Daddies can sit at home and watch Cartoon Network while searching the Internet for Bambi.
