Single Parents Meet?

It's been a while since I've posted on here but I have been reading everyone's posts. :) Anywho, have any of you tried this site, Single Parents Meet? I just signed on today. It seems that a lot of men in my area think they are good looking. lol I thought I would try it for a month to see where it goes. It's kind of hard to navigate though and you can't do an advanced search for so many miles away from where you live.

Just wanted to see if any of you gals knew about this site and if you had any input/opinions of it.

I met someone very nice on that site. He just lived too far away. We actually met in person. However, my friend ended up talking to some guy that was actually married. She also met another one in person, but he had alot of issues. That site can be quite a meat market, but not any better or worse than some of the others I tried.

I tried it once a long time ago. I think I was only on there for about 2 weeks. It seemed like a total meat market to me. I got contacted by a lot of men in a short period of time, but they seemed very weird to me. Sleazy.

I totall agree on that- almost 99% of the guys weren't single dads.

I would almost worry that is a big red flag - I mean - why would a single guy want to sign up as a parent on a site like that? Maybe it is a pedophile!! Scary!!

Edit - just found this story regarding match.com and a serial online dating rapist:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/11/03/online.rape.ap/index.html

I know that many on here have had luck with online dating - particularly when it comes to meeting single dads - but it pays to do it with care. There is an online dating board here at ivillage and I know the ladies over there are pretty experienced with good advice.

I have to agree with all of y'all. I have been on that site for a week and I have gotten tons of "winks" and "I'm interested" messages and they are not even near where I live. Bummer. Also, Rebecca I have to agree that I am totally turned off by the guys where aren't even dads! Come on......that's NOT who is supposed to be on that site.

I'm not at all impressed by this site now. Thanks for everyone who replied. :)

Jennifer, I tried that one before and I didn't find it much different to many of the others that I tried. I removed my profile from that (and all the others) just because I got tired of all the crap that guys were sending. Try it and see how it works for you - who knows you might be lucky. Just be careful not to give out too much personal information initially.

Good Luck!
