Dating Agencies = Hilarious ....

[Bobodioulasso]

  Hi guys ...

i feel like sharing an adventure ...

i tried to get onto a PAYING dating site ...

i think it was Docetae who gave me the tips that Free-Sites are the best ...

being curious by nature , i wished to see the "Beast"  (paying vendors of babushkii or Yvans  pretending to be natacha)

so filled-up 3 personal infos on 3 different sites ...

the first one rejected me on the ground = your details doesn't seem to belong to a real individual ...

the 2nd and 3rd rejected me without without much precisions other than "Membership Canceled by admin."

where it starts to be real funny :

when i give exactly the same infos BUT giving citizenship as French instead of Burkinabé  ... it Works ! 

so i was feeling like sending my best and warmest thanks to all the ones who gave me advices ...

trading with Flesh-sellers is one thing ...
trading with Flesh-sellers who (on top of it) are racist  = an other ...! 

definitely going to find someone by MYSELF , while being there !!!

Perhaps you have heard of the 419 scams ?
Many of them originated from African countries, which means webmasters find a profile from an African country already a bit scary.
If you are in France currently, they might have a tool that shows your country to be different from your nationality.... and that would be enough for some to cancel your profile.

Does not have to mean they are racist

shadow :

yes , off-course i have heard of 419 ... in fact it is Art.419 of the Nigerian criminal   code ...

i thought of that as well , but when you write place of birth = "Bobodioulasso" (wich is actually a town in burkina despite its "funny"  name ...) state your skin-color as black : whether  you are french (working) or Burkinabé (not working) is related to how much you're going to squeeze out of the turkey ... 

or

it is a very good show of "wrong thinking"  like :

All Russian women are top-model ...
all Americans are rich ...
all French have a "baguette" of bread in their arms ...
all Africans are marabout ...

sorry for the misuse of "racist" , i should have used "not too much light at the top" ...

Its not uncommon. Many ' Western'  dating sites like Match.com have blocked all Russian IP's and are deleting Russian profiles beceause of RW scams.

Its just what people have experienced. How could they know that you are the one African who can be trusted.

Goedenmorgen, mijn vriend  ...
alles de prima ?

yes , once again you're right .... (in fact : i cannot be trusted ! ;-) why should i ? )

may be i should express myself bit better ...

WHY 419 still exist ? WHY Russian Scam does still exist ?

Answer = (IMO) because too many are greedy and stop thinking with what nature is supposed to have given them (a brain)  when someone they have never met or heard of , suddenly "NEED" them to transfer a few Gazillions of $ to a place of their choice ...

off course , then it becomes totally normal that for this very service , they get a few tens of millions ...

the same works damn well with RW ...

a fat and ugly AM , cleaning toilets pipes for a living is contacted by a drop-dead-beauty (i personally do not have anything against any profession , someone got to do it  !) , some 30 years younger , off course it is perfectly normal for the guy that she is deeply in love with him ...

so he send 3000$ because her mobile-phone needs some fixing and spare-pieces are so hard to find in such a terrible land ...

you see racism , 419 or RW scam ... blocking them by their IPs or place of living is NOT resolving the problem ...

i would suggest that this works like vaccine ...
the ONLY way to be protected is to be exposed to it ( in some minors forms)

blocking IPs or Generalization is only an other iteration of :

SEE no problem = NO problem !

I would agree with you that it would be best to leave those without common sense exposed, so they might learn somehting.
However there is one thing that you overlook, probably because of not being exposed to it enough yet. And that is the modern claim culture.

Clumsy because you spilt coffee in you lap ? Claim against McDonalds for the temperature of the coffee being too high. Put your cat in the microwave ? Claim againstthe factory for not warning it is not suitable to dry pets.

Got scammed because of being greedy and believing in fairy tales ? Claim against the website for them allowing you to be emotionally and finacially hurt.

You see, if something goes wrong it is never you who are to be blamed. Its always someone else that should have protected, pampered and stopped you.

very good !!!

but in that case , i think i'm going to stick to wisdom (if can be called this way ...) like :

"never say anything bad about crocodile before you cross the river ..." 

i suppose that we are "bit weird" to try to see all options and sides in the said problem ...

nonetheless , most should try to think with their "grey stuff" instead of pretending to know or claiming lack of time or knowledge about something before too late ...

like when i was in Russia , it wasn't that hard to see which girl was looking for a ticket-out  and nothing else really (am i clever ? no , not at all !!! i just observe !!)

which is exactly the same as when i was in USA , i have seen a few things on TV absolutely hilarious about some other places ...

you are right , much easier to blame others for own foolishness ...
