Don’t do online dating ever

Terrible idea. At best, online dating is a way for scammers to prey upon human loneliness and naivete. At worst, online dating can even serve as a front for human trafficking. Romancing a stranger off of the internet is like picking up a hitchhiker who is wearing a hockey mask and carrying a machete.

Why not?  I met my wife via online dating!  We met in 2004 via eHarmony, married in 2006, and in less than 2 months, it will be 15 years!

 

That said, this is not the place to online date!

Sadly, with the children who think they can become like Beth Harmon in a week, also came the immaturity that has plagued the site.

date me harder

"Treat me like a Queen..." That's exactly my point about online dating. You can end up communicating with someone who has used their queens in a streak of smothered mates and who will strike again, or you could find someone who recognizes you have great value--in a sacrifice!

I've made friends online. Most of them have become personal "real" friends or good acquaintances. You should be able to discern someone's true character from online interaction.

As of 2019, 92% of FIDE membership in the US is male, and 8% female...

I'm pretty sure any women chess player who wishes to date a chess player can do so without relying on a dating site.
