A WORD ABOUT ASHLEY MADISON and other DATING WEB SITES : MISTRESS MANIFESTO IS NOT AFFILIATED

REPOSTED  JANUARY 2015  (AFTER THE SCANDAL)


News is that the Ashley Madison site has been hacked.


ORIGINAL POST:
MISTRESS MANIFESTO IS NOT AFFILIATED with the ASHLEY MADISON web site or any other web site that offers to match-make people for sex, love, marriage or mistressing, that provide social connections or dating. 

We are aware that the ASHLEY MADISON site is coming up in searches for MISTRESS MANIFESTO, however we cannot give you any recommendations or referrals to it or any other site.  We can't make any recommendations or referrals because we haven't tried the site(s) ourselves. 

We are concerned because of rumors that certain sites that provide match making services are fronts for prostitution or other illegal activities.  We ask you to be cautious.

As with any Internet match-making, social connection, or dating site, always be careful of your safety and privacy!  Be sure you and any other person you meet on a match-making, social connection, or dating web site are on the same page when it comes to what you want in a relationship.  You should meet a stranger (and that's what a person is until you get to know them over time) in a public place, say for coffee or lunch, the first time you meet them.  You should not invite a person to your place or go to their place until you know you can trust them.  When you meet people in the world you are sometimes connected to them by mutual acquaintances - your  host at a party for example.  This is most often NOT the case when you meet someone on line.

Also, as someone who has had the (bad) experience of discovering that some man who is at best a new friend (or at worst on the sidelines of my life) has been having a fantasy relationship with me, be careful that you don't indulge in fantasy relationships with people, local or long distance; being out and about in your world is the best way to meet people in general. 

Men, if you want a woman to be in your life as a romantic partner, the first step is to ask her out on a date.  If she says yes, and you have a good time and both feel a spark, this may lead to other dates in which you can get to know each other and eventually make some sort of commitment. 

Relationships take time because trust takes time.
