ONLINE DATING HAS IT'S FLAWS, one major one is Date Bait and every net dating site has some form of this. The are essentially 4 categories of date bait.
1) NON-MEMBERS: this is by far the most common form of membership enticements. You can post a profile & a picture WITHOUT signing up. So when you search for women in your area you get a lot of hits, but in reality less than 60% of them are current members. YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES ARE MEMBERS.....so you can send them an email but the only way they can read it is if they sign up........and a lot of women don't bother to. So what you are actually looking at is non-members or former members profiles...waste of time and your money. * Some sights offer the "see who's read your email" feature.
2) FAKE EMAILS/PROFILES-some guys use various sites to gather info on you by posting phony profiles/pictures. They call this the "recon" profile. Others spam you by sending an alluring email, then redirect you to their porn site. Despite net dating sites rules for spamming, a lot of spammers do get through.
3) TOKEN DATES: both Match.com and Yahoo personals were victims of a lawsuit a few years back pertaining to date bait. Women would go out on token first dates then never heard from again, I assume for the sole purpose of getting men to re-join. These are rare instances but still exist and difficult to prove, let alone letigate.
4) EMAIL TEASERS-this is probably the second most common form. Pop-up ads, email enticements that tease you by saying stuff like "someone has emailed you, to read their email, please sign up".
THE PURPOSE IS SIMPLE......THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!!!
