I laughed SO hard when I found this site about Nigerian Scam Dating, I just about piddled myself.

It’s a parody on those Nigerian Scam emails we get with regularity. If you don’t get them, be glad.

The site is hilarious.

And the funniest testimonial reads:

My experiences on this site have been so negative. I have tried many other sites and they are always the same old thing–value for money, great people, excellent relationships formed, etc. I’ve been there done it and got the certificate really!! But this site? Well nothing compares! Excellent, well done and many thanks spot on!!! I’m absolutely loving it. You know I may have just found my Mr. Wrong.

Thank you Nigerian Scam Dating for the rest of my miserable, penniless, broken life.

Jay took issue with the BeautifulPeople debacle and I can’t blame him.

That is just wrong. . . Fat people need dates too. I did a quick search for fat people dating and sure enough there are sites out there. I did get a chuckle at one Fat site, if you scroll down to the bottom there was an ad to sign up and get paid to lose weight. LMAO !!

Jay,

You’re absolutely right, there are sites for big beautiful men and women (BBW & BHM)… sites that DON’T post the Weight Watchers and eDiet banners all over the place.

There are 2 listed in my BBW/BHM section.

There’s also Maureen and John’s site for big beautiful people, (I’ve met them, they’re a great couple who actually met online through a dating site and then decided to start their own.

Neither one of them are skinny-minnies and THEY found love online.

You can too… just sign up for a free membership at one or more of the sites listed and put yourself out there!

I hear you.

I was perhaps one of the most painfully shy people you could ever know until sometime in my late 20’s… although at 50, I STILL have to deal with feelings of shyness at times.

Having said that, I now regularly speak in public and actually enjoy it!
This is a picture of the audience at a recent speaking engagement.

Want to know what helped me overcome 90% of those awkward feelings with other people?

Reading and learning and implementing tactics that other people had used successfully.
