Seniors represent the fasting growing demographic population online.
To assist in their online dating choices, I have listed ten important
safety tips to remember when joining an online dating community.
1)
Other than what state you reside in, please keep your specific
information to yourself as you meet your new friends. There may be
unsavory characters who will try to trick you into revealing your part
of the state or which town you reside in. Do not divulge that
information until you feel sure it is safe. The decision should feel
comfortable for you.
2)
Keep your private email PRIVATE! A lot of people want to join an
online dating community, but not pay for the privilege of getting to
know you. Many online dating communities ARE FREE to JOIN, but free
members cannot contact other members of the site. The safety in
becoming a paying member of an online dating website is we have your
REAL information. Should it ever be necessary, we can track down
anyone who has paid for a membership. This ensures your safety. Don't
be misled by phony people who are on the FREE ride. That makes them
cheap and who needs a cheap date? Of course, there are some people who
"test the waters" before joining and I am not referring to those
folks. I am referring to the people who put their throw away emails in
their ads and ask that you contact them off the website. This means
you have now given someone you don't know your real email address
unless you too create a throwaway email address.
3)
Please post pictures that are current and be truthful about your age.
Current is a year or less. You want people to be honest with you. Give
that honesty FIRST!
4)
Take your time developing your Profile. Many people tend to gloss over
the narrative (hobbies, interests and activities, etc) but that is
what will make you stand out from the
