I am a single woman who joined this website in hopes to find a man friend that might develop into a relationship. YUH... RIGHT! All I found was online predators. I met a men and even casually dated him for about 6 weeks. He was still on there while dating me and turned out to be a serial dater, even when he 'claimed' on his profile that he was not! He also 'claimed' he was a 'widower' which also turned out to be a LIE! He claimed he was in love with me, and I was 'the one' and we could both 'stop looking'... all along he was serial dating!
Countless email exchanges with males that were ONLY after a 'hook up'. Once they found out I was not into 'hooking up', they dropped off emailing. One was from the same town as me, so we emailed back and forth a bit and turns out, he plans on moving overseas... so why is he on a dating website claiming to want a 'serious relationship'!
Also, my 'matches' showed profiles of men that had not logged in for months!
AVOID this hook up site if you are genuinely looking for a potential relationship.
P.S. I would rate it a 0 if there was a 0 option.

I have done online dating for a long time, on and off. I have never previously encountered such verbally abusive men as what I have experienced at this site. Perhaps this corresponds with the general abusive behavior going on in the US right now with the political situation, I can't be sure. But whatever the reason, it does not make me inclined to ever use this site again.

Besides that disconcerting problem, there are also some pretty user unfriendly aspects of the site. First, if you have your account set to not automatically resubscribe, you will get an annoying popup with every single email message you open. Second, there are tons of people with no photo and no profile. Your mailbox can be full of messages from such people. You will get a message with each photo they "like", meaning many email messages to wade through with no content from a nonexistent person. The site does not allow you to set it up to globally block messages from people without photos or profiles. Third, navigation and deleting of messages are not user friendly and cause unnecessary work for the user.

All in all, a poorly designed web interface, annoying popups, and mean angry people are what you can expect from this experience, should you pay for a subscription.

But you can't see them without signing up. And when you DO sign up, you discover that about 147 of those "messages" are auto genearated and sent when someone looks at your profile. You can't tell if the person you are sending a message to is a member or not, so you have a way to "insure" that they can reply for free... it only costs almost $10 per person. And that only ALLOWS them to reply... it doesn't mean that they will. And it's either a poor advertising technique or it's really slimy because if you look at a profile and close the window, a message pops up "find out when she opens it". I can't stand POF, but at least there your membership allows you to see when they read an email. This site is kind of like the airline fees... want to see who messaged you? Sign up. Want to see if they opened a mail... theres' a fee. Want to allow them to reply (not knowing if they are already a paid member)? There's another fee. And there are a lot of fake profiles. How do I know? Because you will come across a LOT of profiles that are word for word identical to other profiles.

First time I had been on a dating site since I was in my 20's. Being an honest person, never even thought sites would play the games they apparently do! First had technical issues with photos disappearing or not getting loaded or approved (with nothing being inappropriate about them). Luckily, they did have a call center (not in the U.S.) that would assist. Other problems I experienced were getting TONS of canned messages such as "Your photo caught my eye" or "Nice profile", with a lot of these profiles being incomplete with no photos. I totally believe most of these were completely fake profiles, their way of making it seem as if men were interested so I would want to keep paying them.
What kind of educated person can't write a few independent sentences they can't come up with on their own? Men would come up that in no way met my search criteria. But probably the most disingenuous thing I ended up finding out for a FACT from customer service, is they do not take down old profiles (if they are even real to begin with). So you could spend hours of your time messaging people that haven't been on that site for possibly years. This angered me to no end when I found out, I'm busy and they have no respect for people's time. Bought a six month subscription and ended up getting 5 months credited. (Thank GOD!) DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS SITE!
