Good internet dating sites not full of scammers

[vinegar stroks]

I'm not especially into the whole bar girl scene, I mean sometimes it's ok but it doesn't really fit at all with my requirements while I'm living out here. What I want is to meet a nice, educated girl with a good job who is interested in finding a more long-term relationship. If I were back in the UK, one approach I would take is internet dating. I'd like to give this a go in Thailand too, but I've heard that most of the internet dating forums out here are infested with scammers and gold-diggers. Is this actually true? I'm also not really fussed about finding one-nighters or brief encounters. Are there any sites that might be more suitable for what I'm looking for? I have a few other ideas of how to go about this, but any other suggestions for how to meet nice girls would be great. Thanks!

i stalked a blogger. clearly i was more charming than Mr. Galt, because i got the girl...

[Flarran]

Try Asiankisses.de. It worked out fine for me. Before that I found out that Filipina Heart and the Indian site Shaadi had professional staff to do the chatting and e-mailing. So bad.

Golddiggers might be the least of your worries...

Typical Internet Dating Profile:

About Me

I'm a dull, shallow and somewhat desperate girl who describes herself using the exact same set of adjectives every other girl on this site uses. You can take your choice as to whether I'm astonishingly plain, or have a wide range of personality "issues" which I'll reveal on an ongoing and infinite basis. I can also give you a combination of both .

Who I'm Looking For

I've spent the past ten years being abused by utter bastards, so I'm looking for yet another bastard in the naïve hope that this time round it won't end with my already shattered self-esteem being ground further into dust. Please note that if you sound even slightly like a "nice" guy, don't bother contacting me - I refuse to acknowledge that the previous decade of relationship misery may have anything in the slightest to do with my choice of men.

My Dream Date

My dream date is, of course, the £25,000 white wedding I've been planning since I was eight years old. The exact date for this, the complete invitation list and in fact every last detail are already set in stone, so don't think you can change anything or, indeed, not spend hours hearing about it every single time you see me.

My Hobbies

I love dragging you around shops you hate, obsessing over footwear, and banging on endlessly about how I saved 58p in Tesco by purchasing dented cans and items past their best before date - a frugality I will be surprisingly loathe to demonstrate when it's your money being spent.

Favourite Films and Music

I like almost anything so shallow and vapid that it makes you want to stove your head in against the television/radio receiver just to make it stop. Coincidentally I also have an extreme dislike for anything you've ever bought, will buy, or even merely tolerate.

You Should E-Mail Me If

You haven't realised that putting your balls in a vice for a week would be more enjoyable, less messy and far quicker.

This one is ok. www.dateinasia.com is free to join AND contact ladies.
Most other sites are free to join but if you're interested in someone or vice versa, then you have to pay.

Female friends tell me they have better luck meeting guys on 'Friend' sites like Facebook and Tagged but still have the problems of scammers and male gold-diggers.

Scammers can be female too but a rarity as most are males looking to scam women, but probably any scammer would be welcomed by most dating sites as they help to generate more business for the site.
Just don't report anyone or you may get thrown off the site.
Plenty of Fish Review: The Plenty of Fish Romance Scam:

I've met some really nice ladies on dating sites and still friends with many even now. Remember, everyone always puts a great pic of themselves on their profiles so don't expect women to look as good as in their photo if you meet them in real life (and make sure they're not a ladyboy too)

Another way, and one that I've had the most success with is to go out into the real world and talk to women.
As Chally says, try a temple. Or shopping malls, markets, food stalls, on buses or songtaews etc. Nice girls are all around you.

Best of luck Vin.

Why? Do you want to keep them all to yourself

Nah, I prefer the real thing not copies.

I used to use faceparty.com when it was free and teeming with Thai M6 & college girls. That was 2003-5.

.......... actually I do not agree with people saying that all thai women are sooooo beautiful! Oh yes some indeed sure but ........

and I have read all the bad stories on all the thai sites and have some friends who has been scammed and one particular who has been attacked by his x-wifes friends so he nearly died - required treatment for many years to come! And all the warning lights has been on in my head all the time.

Bad taste? Why?? Have you been looking at my gallery? Luckily we all have different taste ......

.......... actually I do not agree with people saying that all thai women are sooooo beautiful! Oh yes some indeed sure but ........

Agreed. Most who say this are new to Thailand / The bar scene and are vagina-trained muthafuckas who would do anything for a Thai girls attention.

Do they really want a farang girls attention? Or have they just discovered the easiness** of the gogo bar scene?
