Wanna know the Pros, Cons, advantages and disadvantages of using various dating websites and apps? I gotchu! After, using dating websites and apps for about 6 years in search of a wife and having found one on a dating app, I definitely have some great insights for singles. Especially Christians. Let's get it!
Below I will get into relevant topics to the life of people, drawing from my own experiences and sharing the same type of wisdom many friends have come to me for over the years, but here on a larger scale.
The #1 Ingredient for a healthy life is the spiritual food our spirit receives. This is one of my strongest attributes.
Only through God's Word are we able to be transformed, but we are also able to retrain ourselves by what we read in books that may train us to think a certain way about various subjects.
We need to keep our body physically fit to allow us to serve humanity with the calling & anointing on us to prevent tiring or giving out before our divine time to leave the earth.
In this photo, I am with wifey in the back of the vehicle in which I was being driven to the airport. I love this woman more than any other woman I have ever been with in my life. She is the answer to years of struggle, prayers, tears, heartache, pain, betrayal, deceit and many other things.
As far as I am concerned God blessed me in a way I could never have imagined and it was a long enough wait for her, but to have her the rest of my life was a wait well worth it to have a woman like her to share it with.

Is it Fake or Real? (How To Test Profiles to See if It’s a Scammer)
One of the best ways that I found to quickly expose a Scammer is by asking them a deep question that they give an answer to that makes no sense.
Another way to expose them is to ask them a question and see if they answer it at all, or do they go on to talk about something else that has nothing to do with what you asked that they did not answer.
Most Scammers cannot pass this last test, based upon the fact that they have a certain script they want to follow. They want to make you feel close to them quickly, but they want to control how the conversations go instead of allowing it to flow organically.
Whenever a person starts talking about how they live with their uncle, aunt, grandparents, if they tell you their parents died when they were young or a few years ago or anything like that, that is typically their story line that they go to (as of January 2018), they are sure to be a Scammer. I never found anyone to not be a Scammer who talked about that stuff, especially early on without you asking them a question about their parents. (Note: that is not to say that there is no one who has a similar story who could be real and not a scammer, but that requires follow up questions by you.)
Normally, Scammers talk of some major car accident their parents were in, or about how they were old and died some years ago due to old age or some disease. Next thing will be them talking about their financial woes. The reason they bring up the parents dying is to cause you to become emotionally invested in them and to feel a connection to them emotionally, because they think this will cause you too let your guard down and to make you open to a possibility of helping them, because they are in a time of need emotionally and financially.
Note: Anyone asking you to wire them money, to give them your bank account info for them to wire you money or anything close to that, RUN AWAY IMMEDIATELY!
Overall Comments About Dating Sites
Dating sites are the newest way and best way (as of January 2018) for busy singles who are looking to meet someone to meet. Why? Quite simply, it is like being in college or high school or the biggest party on the planet in one easily accessible place. Nothing compares to the plethora of people one may find online in one place, compared to a physical location. Also, they allow for a quick assessment of a person without having to meet them to get to know enough about them to decide whether approaching them would be worth any of your time. When approaching a website search for someone, specifically a mate for life, search with prayer being the first thing you do and asking God to direct you.
I met my wife on Tinder, and it was only after changing from a free account to a paid account for a one month subscription that I found her. I also had to go out of the country to get her. She was well worth it! See photo above for how gorgeous she is.
