That is absurd criteria!
I'm pretty sure that I signed up for this site specifically because I read somewhere that it was NOT a dating site!
you're correct...
I was already admonished for calling someone who never introduced herself and just poured out her life story a Troll. I won't do it again.
All those folks who send scam emails or phone calls only have to attract one sucker. One just has to put some bait in the water. No need to obey rules if it works.
Don't you think people would choose another option than a senior forum if they were looking for a dating site? There are dating sites. but I don't know how they could prevent people from dating.
Maybe she had been drinking. Who knows the reason? I remember reading a post with a woman rattling., I assumed others on the forum had a better understanding of the person, so I didn't pay much attention. Oh, I remember someone on the forum, male, letting her know she would be too hard to please. That's about as much drama I've seen at the site so far.I was already admonished for calling someone who never introduced herself and just poured out her life story a Troll. I won't do it again.
Well, having worked at a Senior Center for several years, I do know that just because we are old, doesn't mean we aren't looking. I'm old - but romance is most definitely NOT what I want! Most of the senior websites are actually set up to promote match-making. That's just not my cup of tea. (-;
Again, I'm just stumbling around. A period of grief followed by shingles and then a sinus worry was the reason I ended up at a senior forum. I was looking for a little company, people to visit, and had noticed that reading at the shingles forums had been helpful.
I don't know.
Oh there’s been more drama on here than that ‘
Sure have.
I've gone on forums without doing an introduction. I did here the second time I came back and changed to this forum name. I guess I'm usually just not comfortable with the introduction part though I've said plenty on this forum.I was already admonished for calling someone who never introduced herself and just poured out her life story a Troll.

Your post was very relevant, so even if it did. Which I doubt was the case.
I got hit on right here about ten days ago. He sent me a private message at 8:00 am. He was a new member. I was surprised and thought it was strange to be contacted by someone who had recently signed up and hadn't posted more than a few words on the forum. We hadn't exchanged a word on the forum.

Yup, with the same opening line too. I did not respond.I got hit on right here about ten days ago. He sent me a private message at 8:00 am. He was a new member.

He started out by asking me how I was doing today. I was reluctant to respond to him, but I did and said I was fine and asked him how he was. He told me he was having fun giving his daughter cooking lessons and asked me what I was doing that day that was fun.
Although I thought it was strange, I didn't want to be rude, so I responded briefly and said, "No fun today, just taking care of business." Then I said I hadn't seen him posting much on the forum. He said he wasn't often online here and told me he lived in Illinois. Then he asked me where I lived. At this point, I was sorry I answered him to begin with. He wrote back a couple of hours later, asking me what I liked to do for fun and then telling me what he liked to do. I thought something was fishy, didn't respond back, then blocked him.
I wouldn't be surprised if he contacted other women on the forum with the same story. I went looking for him the other day to see if he was still afoot and couldn't find a trace of him. A friend who's in the know told me he'd been banned. She also told me that the same thing had happened to her several times. Evidently, it's not uncommon for people to sign up to senior forums and lie about their age. Then they start looking for people to hit on. What do you think they're looking for? It ain't LUV, it's

I'm not surprised, Rose. If he hit on me I knew he probably hit on others here as well. Sleaze bag.
Me too. About 3 weeks ago. It does sound like I had a different person than both of you....at least a different story. When I checked "his" profile, it had no info.
Hmm, @Kika - Ya know what? I almost started a thread about being contacted by that sleaze bag as a warning to others on the forum. I'm wondering if we should have a thread about this crap that alerts others when we get trolled by sleaze bags. What do you guys and gals think? When it happens should we just put it out there?
