  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Classifieds: worth it?

I'm a 24 year old male (won't explain anymore than that since I don't need to), and I'm looking to get on to the dating scene. Unfortunately, where I live in the UK, looking for love is a bit... well, it's like finding a microscopic needle in a haystack, so I'm looking to cast my net out over a wider area.

I'm using the eHarmony dating site (which is giving me a few problems which I won't elaborate on here), but I'm also debating using classified adverts online to look for a partner.
But I do keep wondering: you often hear so many stories about finding weirdos and very strange people responding to ads or meeting people who have flat out lied about themselves via their responses (I know the same happens on online dating websites, but we'll stick with classifieds for now), that is it really worth it for a relationship?

So to anyone who has experience with classifieds: is it worth it?
