Internet dating -- How do you weed out the creeps?

I just posted my profile on match.com (without a photo). I've never used an internet dating website before. I've received some winks and a couple of emails. Any tips for (1) identifying the guys I want to respond to and (2) determining what kind of relationship he is looking for?

Internet dating -- How do you weed out the creeps?
Within a few correspondences they usually tell you. If they ask creepy questions, and only want to talk about sex he is creep and can safely be weeded.
Reply:You never know who you are talking to online. The only way to weed out a creep is to get to know him in the real world, I guess. But even then, be careful, it could all be an act and he could be a creep

Reply:see his profile
Reply:you cant...a lot (not all) are fakes. if you feel more comfortable...do a background check.
Reply:that is kind of tough to do. i have tried the dating thing online before and have sworn it off. many of the guys i have met post old pics and when we meet, they look nothing like their pic. or they claim to be something they are not. like they'll put in their ad "i am honest, straight foward, blah blah blah." guess what, they arent. you are better off posting a pic, because they'll most likely ask. i would ask a guy for his pic. if you are interested in someone, go to their profile. read it and then decide if you want to talk to them. chat for a bit, then go to the phone calling a few times, then meet if you are comfy enough. another thing that stinks about the online thing is that there are too many other profiles that they can check out. if you want a better site, maybe try eharmony...but they charge like $60-$70 a month!!!


hope you have better luck than i did!
