I met a guy last week thinking he was a total catch. We had been speaking for 3 weeks we video chatted, phone calls, texts, ext. Finally we decided to meet at a public location in between were we live, originally he wanted to meet at my house and was very concerned with who I lived with (now that I think back). I get to the location about 20 minutes earlier and wait I'm waiting and then I see a white van pull over to the side of the entrance before you enter our set location about 2 minutes later a dark green older model lexas pulls up right next to the white van and the two drivers who cant see me or even know I'm there change vehicles right in front of me, at this point I noticed one of them look liked the the guy I was there to meet he takes a black bag out of the trunk of the green car and places it in the back of the van. I'm like okay this seems dangerous. I get a text seconds later from the guy I'm suppose to met asking where I was and what kind of car I would be in. There where also about six other cars there so I identified the further one away that you couldn't see from the direction of the entrance, and tell him I was five minutes away. Literally a few minutes later the same white van pulls into the entrance and parks a spot over directly behind the car I identify as mine at this moment I see the other car pull into the entrance and seconds later he parks im view of my actual car and he texts me no ones in the car I identified as mine and why I was playing I must not be really who I say I was. But there was no way to know I wasent in the car unless he was communicating with the guy in the van. I was so scared and felt this was an attempt to rape kidnap or hurt me, and this was not the first time particularly meeting men on tagged something like this has happened to me. So I'm done with the site I think the site acts as a legitimate way for predictors to verify actuall victims any attempt to remain private is highly look at as catfishing so as women we are forced to prove our self's which men take as an open invitation. I think to my self looking back how dumb I was videoing chatting with a man who planned who knows what with me. A man that has so many pictures and videos and info about me, I literally feel so horrible I fell for the prove it's you game. Honestly if I didn't feel i needed to prove to this man I was real I wouldent even had shown up no man on that site is any more attractive then the same men I meet daily out and about. I'm a women I'm going to meet men offline from know on because online dating has become dangerous.
I'm probably going to delete my account with Tagged as I have with it's adjoining 'partner' site Hi5 because I just find that people seem more interested in 'collecting' friends and then never bothering to keep in contact with you afterwards, there are I feel TOO many horndogs on there of all ages just looking to get laid, as well as too many young punks in their 20's (I'm 48) than men a lot closer to my own age! And the majority of men don't want something real, only a hookup. Scammers are rife too on this site, and some are very laughably obvious- with their bad spelling and grammar, fake pics, and messaging you requesting you contact them by the email address they provided. They also ask you for yours.
While you will be able to change your settings so that only local users can see your profile and 'inbox' you, (you HAVE to, or as I have found, you will only be asking for trouble with men from all over the universe sending you friend requests, etc) you cannot set the settings with age parameters. So EVERY man of every age will message you- something I really dislike. I've had too many guys in their 20's message me or send me friend requests. And most of these idiots don't bother to even really look at your profile, either, no matter how you personalize it or what you're NOT looking for! I strangely also would receive a lot of messages and friend requests from black men, to the point where I added a pic to my profile with a caption 'I'm not attracted to black guys'. It only has worked 50% of the time.
When very recently a long time 'friend' of mine abruptly decided to delete his account, after I had asked him (after only 7 months?! He lives in Calgary and I'm in Edmonton) about me coming down to Calgary to meet finally in person, he never responded, went offline (deliberate or not I don't know, as the site is also prone to 'kicking' you off apparently if you log in using your cell phone) and all of the messages exchanged between us were instantly GONE. That's how you know you have 'lost' a friend. Your saved messages will automatically delete when someone removes their account, and every 'tag' and pictures they've sent you that you keep on your profile will show the word 'DELETED', with only a blank silhouette where their picture used to be. He was 45 years old, too, and not a young guy.
There are features that used to be free that I've seen members post statuses complaining about that they have found you now have to pay for, as well. While I have opted out of it a long time ago, the 'Meet Me' feature is one of them.
If you click on the person who viewed your profile, (on the left) 'See who's viewed your profile and much more' that shows the person's picture, you're then taken to a white page that says, 'Join VIP today to unlock premium features!

So I can't give this social media site a high rating for all of these reasons. CREEPY old men (50's up to their 70's!) also I find have sent me friend requests, and you also will see them 'like' these stupid young girls young enough to be their granddaughter, dressed very scantily in their selfie pics, intended to draw massive attention to themselves. Often I've noticed it's the same homely, unattractive guys too. Young guys post ridiculous looking bathroom mirror selfies, bare chested, and flexing their muscles even! Today I 'reported' a guy who had a picture of his very up close, erect PENIS. So that should tell you about the desperate freaks that are on this site.
