SP dating

I've just been looking up dating websites for parents... yes, I should be getting an early night as another hectic week ahead but oh well! Anyway, one thing that's puzzling me is the a lot of the guys signed up for parent's websites don't seem to have any children - creeps?!?! It doesn't stop there though: one guy posted a picture of him with a girl. Now, how likely is he to get a lot of interest??? I was about to give up when I came across Mr Richie2001 - if you get a chance to look him up on parentsdate. co.uk , do so. Never mind what he's got to say. His picture alone is worth the effort - although me being slightly cynical things that the actual person looks NOTHING like the guy in the photo!
BTW: anyone with a single Jamie Oliver look-alike in the vicinity, please do send him my way!

Quite a few of the smaller dating sites use the same back end database. Only the front end you see is different.

So whilst you have signed up to a site thinking its just for single parents, he might have signed up to swingersdate.co.uk or something like that!

They do it so they have a critical mass. Ie. When you do your initial search you have loads of men to seemingly choose from.

Yuk! That's horrific!!! I think the bit of information has put me off dating sites for good. Thank you for the explanation though. :-)

LOL that wasn't my intention!

There are some good ones out there. I used to use Parentsalready.com

I've heard Match.com is good.

I used to use POF which is like swimming in shark infested waters. As long as you have shark repellent then its fine.

Some sites definitely share info as niceguy says. Not all tho
