god am i glad i don't have to do this. but i advise everyone to do so, especially if you met online.
I’m glad I’m single most people don’t want to do back ground checks anymore
They don't have a background check for cheating and boyfriend swapping. If that was a thing it would benefit the good girls, even if they mean. The shift from chasing hot would switch over. How dating would change, if relationship history could be documented. I'd have a line. I know that. I'd filter the same (oh she... swapped boyfriend during time xyz, yup pick the other one!)
No, that's lame as fuck. You want to get to know the person before dating him or her. Obviously, Tinder should ban anyone who is blatantly racist or a mass murderer or a sex offender, but someone who has done little mistakes even committed a felony DUI shouldn't be banned from Tinder
Plus it's too expensive anyway. I'm not allowed to pay for most online services due to religious reasons (I come from a conservative Christian background)
That’s not my problem you’re a criminal why I don’t online date anyone can be anyone online
No one is obligated to date you bud
Anyone can reject you
You want to get to know the person IN PERSON* before asking about his or her criminal records. It's better to talk about yourself first and ask the person first about themself.
Your criminal record will be discussed and basic information
I have my kids to protect and no I don’t date people who went to jail - a minor speeding ticket and dui shows how irresponsible you are and major charges show how a criminal you are
Ok sjw zoomer
I don’t do online dating apps bunch of werdios and other pedos
Why would I bring a pedo around my kids? Make it make sense
Woah woah woah, hold it right there I'm not a pedophile. You're obviously so obsessed with pedophiles. I literally stated that Tinder and other dating apps need to ban pedos, mass murderers, etc etc. But someone who got a speeding ticket for going 71 in a 70 is a bad person?
We're all humans, not perfect machines. I bet your ass dropped outta middle let alone high school because teachers will tell you the same thing I just did.
Tinder is garbage dude this where werdios hang out to prey and lurk -
I didn’t say you were one I said what’s on the apps and over sexualized men and women
Nope I have no criminal record I want a mate who doesn’t
Blocked moron
Hehe there can be a criminal or past offenders dating website... that should be fun
I look them up and check out their social medias etc
Pretty much a back ground check
I run backgrounds on all of them! Finger prints, DNA samples. I run emails and phone numbers through websites: Facebook, YouTube, Google, Chaturbate, Pornhub, to find out if they have memberships. I provide waivers to sign for legal purposes.
To do all this I utilize an old school program, some of y'all might have heard of it. It's name: "Trust and Honesty".
😐
Answer: No, i don't. But I understand the safety reasoning for y'all females.

I never have but with how crazy people
Are maybe I should start
Exactly
I actually did look up a recent ex boyfriend. You know those guys who you can’t find information about because they don’t have a “solid place of residence “ well yea that was him. I can see all his family members and his siblings but for him, nothing came up! I even tried searching his number, it didn’t even register to him! I also googled myself to make sure and sure enough, you can look me up but yea I’m coming to conclusions that my ex was REALLY a bum! A man with no final place of residence (my ex lived with his sister but he would also stay the night at his grandparent’s house) and guy doesn’t even have a car! I need a real man! I’m glad I ended it! I’m not enabling his sorry ass anymore
That’s crazy ! I’m so glad I don’t do online dating anymore
It really was! He did not come up at all no matter how many times I searched him. The only thing that would come up is a few of his social media accounts but no person information about him such as where he lives and how old he is. Definitely do not recommend online dating. It’s way too easy for someone to be someone else or not be who you think they are. I’m not saying he catfished me (he sure enough was him in the photos) but if I can’t sure you, there’s something wrong here…
That’s too many red flags why I don’t take online dating serious - I concluded being single maybe best
Our relationship wasn’t really serious at all. We only dated for about 2 months ish before I ended it because he was showing wayyy too many red flags. One thing that really made me end it was when he tried to ghost me and lied and said he was sick. Then he was just a bum in general. When we first met, he didn’t have a job (red flag number 1) and he doesn’t have a car (red flag number 2) and he was living with him sister but sometimes he would crash at his grandma’s house (which explains why he doesn’t have a solid place of residence) I’m glad I left him. I was tired of his emotional ass and driving him a around: bullet dodged
I’m so glad I don’t online date or anything ; dating shouldn’t be this complicated or exhausting.. I’m better off being single in this day and time
Yea and anyways, in reality there's not many good people online dating websites or those who have good intentions. And plus, most dating sites, there’s a fee you have to pay every month to talk to people. That is Wayy over the top. Why would I pay to talk to someone when I can go out and talk to people in real life? If you pay for dating apps you’re a low life lmao
Exactly I rather do face to face meet in person
No and if a chick does it to me I take her way less seriously. That shows a lack in loyalty. If you aren't ready to take on the whole world with me then we were never going to work. I need a confident woman.
In this day and time I need someone whose not a criminal or psycho I’m sorry
In this day and time , you can’t take people’s word
That's fine. Good for you I'm glad you know what you want. I know what I want and I want someone who believes in themself and believes in me. And someone who trusts their judgment more than a background check.
If I meet someone online a background check will be completed
If I meet you through friends or family a reference check will be completed
I do back ground checks on myself yearly - I would request you have a background check completed on yourself before we start dating
That's fine, but that's way too much anxiety for me. I know I am a good judge of character, I know I can handle whatever comes my way. I'm attracted to people who feel similarly about themselves.
I have to make sure you who are you who you are. you work at the job you work at and what you told me , you’re not a criminal with a criminal record being I have kids , and you’re not married cheating on me with your suppose
I don’t need surprises popping up down the road after we invested together and don’t get me started on sex I require my exclusive mate for get std tested before we have sex if we choose to before marriage and or during our relationship
Bunch of whackdoos and nut cases in the dating world
With the current dating world it’s no dating anyone
Spouse - I don’t trust anyone at all
I'm sorry to hear that
Nope. For some strange and unbeknown reason, I'm normally the guy who is on the receiving end of background checks. I must look dodgy or something, I dunno!
In a way. I'll ask groups that she's around, if I have a friend there, what kind of person she is. If not, then I'll go through her social media a bit. that's it.
Not in such extent like my dates did, they knew everything about me before first date because my female friends talk too much.
Oh.. online dating is out for me
When I first tried to date women, personal computers were science fiction and the Internet did not exist.
It was impossible to do background checks.
People have it so easy today.
Not really a background check, but I do look through their social media roughly (not everything though) to suss out what sort of person they are
No, but I try to notice anything suspicious. Like if a 19 year old model emails me out of the blue.
Good luck everyone who approaches me will have to do a backwards check exclusively if we become serious
Waste of my time to be honest! Don't get me wrong here! I do extensive background checks as a part of my business but for things like dating no I don't. All my valuables as well as all but one of my firearms are in my safe.
That’s great for you how I take care of my safety is my business!
Exclusively if I’m meeting someone online a back ground check will be required and I don’t online date
Luckily I meet someone the old fashioned way
I did not say it was a waste of time in a general sense! I said it was a waste OF MY time! The primary reason is I do not date exclusively. The ladies I do date I have known for years. For the record, a background check is not foolproof when it comes to avoiding physical harm. As to my business, I do background checks primarily to check for bankruptcies, etc. I have had more than one vender steal from me!
Spell check got me. That should have been vendor!
A back ground check is a starting point at least I know if their a criminal , married, and who they at they are- I meant what I said dating is a waste of money because people want sex nowadays no commitment and no relationships
I’m glad I’ve been single aslong as I have been
Not here to check your credit score here to make sure your not a phony and using an alias name
Dating waste of money and time - been single 7 years by choice
No I probably should though. Why you bitches gotta be so extra? Like a fckin terrestrial.
I date women welcome to old school dating
Haha
You're a lesbian? Sorry for ya. I guess you understand what I'm saying then.
Yeah it’s crazy out here
I have to go old school out here
Full on roller derby old school? Throwin hellbows on those hos?
I do,
For me background checks are very important, and even tho they creep the hell out of potential partners, due diligence has to be done
Agreed
I'd get to know her friends and family before doing anything serious
No, lol. I only date people i know and am familiar with so it's not really necessary.
I used to tell my mom who I'd just talk to and she did background checks on them so i had to stop, lol.
Not really, if we've some common friends I guess I could ask them about the person or check out their social media? But I'm not a big social media user myself so.
If you meet them by friends that’s different I’m talking about online dating
The internet was not really around when I was dating but I would have done this.
