| Fake beauties rush net lover
FAKE beauties, including a Nigerian woman with millions to share, have rushed an internet "sting" set-up to test online dating services. THEIR stories are always the same - a tragic young girl, usually Nigerian, forced to live in terrible conditions until she is able to access the millions her father left her. SHE will contact you through a dating site asking for help to transfer the money into an offshore account for your new life together. USING a composite photo made from images of staff members, the Sunday Mail set up a profile of Geoff Carr , an eligible, handsome South Australianon, and put him a popular dating website to see what response we would get. And it doesn't matter that he is not a real man – because neither are many of the women who contacted him during his first week on a popular dating website.
TRUE.com Applauds Lawmakers for Passing Landmark Safer Dating ...
DALLAS, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/-- TRUE.com(R), the leading scientifically based online relationship service, congratulates New Jersey legislators for yesterday enacting the nation's first online dating legislation -- which is designed to protect the growing number of New Jersey citizens who are going online to meet potential dates. The Internet Dating Safety Act (Senate Bill-1977/A4304) requires online dating services to disclose their criminal background screening practices and to offer safer dating tips on their sites. With the growing concern nationwide about online safety overall, this legislation reinforces TRUE's steadfast commitment to safer online dating. TRUE's proactive policy requires criminal background and marriage screenings on all of its communicating members -- the only practice of its kind among major online dating sites.
'You scope 'em out'
Women also are going online to find moms who match their personality and interests, much like singles use an online dating service. "You scope 'em out," says Magalie Belanger, 31, about prospective mommy-friends in Helena. "You see how they deal with their children, and with yours." It's like dating, but the dates are with other moms and their children. While the kids play, hopefully without tantrums or biting, the moms are free to talk about the things they have in common, from the lofty subjects of religion and politics to the more practical topics of teething and diaper rash. "Women, they want someone else who is going through the same thing," says Drury Sherrod, a Los Angeles social psychologist who studies friendship. Often, that can mean seeking out other women in the same trimester of pregnancy or whose children are similar in age, he says.
New UK Service That Matches People Via Mobile Phone
In addition to the basic service YourMyCrush.com will soon be expanding to include an online store, dating tips, an advice forum and other customisable areas for users to make use of with their mobile phones. The service is presently limited to UK mobile phone networks but will shortly be providing access to other countries in Europe and the rest of the world. Overall, this is a simple idea, executed cleanly, providing a very helpful and (so far) very successful new mobile match making system. The key demographic is young teens and the "school youth" area, however the site has seen a number of 'older' people use the system successfully too. At the end of the day you are only as old as you feel. About YourMyCrush.com: http://YourMyCrush.com is a mobile content provider and unique mobile service provider for the United Kingdom.
