here is an article that proves we are right about dating sites...read below....


The FTC has been in the news lately in the performance marketing industry, but it turns out there is one industry that is really receiving a lot of complaints: the dating industry.

FTC is the Federal Trade Commission correct?

I am sorry, but this is so freakin hilarious. Perhaps they need to try the cupid sites? (Latin, Japanese, tec.)

@OutWest, they vote and reproduce. ! It's only funny if you're a safe distance away.

Well I am at a safe distance...but you are right...a lot of skin covered broccoli posing as humans...

well i think the men feel powerless so they want some "power" to come and change it. but ofcourse the society has to change itself to end this dating nightmare.

alot of men dont want to date foreign women or do foreign online sites.

i have talked to foreign women online and they just CANT believe what i tell them about america dating weak friendships.
oh well.

Online daters sue Match.com, Yahoo for fraud

Match.com, a unit of IAC/Interactive Corp., is accused in a federal lawsuit of goading members into renewing their subscriptions through bogus romantic e-mails sent out by company employees. In some instances, the suit contends, people on the Match payroll even went on sham dates with subscribers as a marketing ploy.
