They use what you say about yourself and send it out as an Introductory message for 2 weeks after signing up. These Introductory messages get sent to who they call matches. The worst part is is that somehow they got it wrong about me and made recipients angry. They, also, limit message writing to 15 minutes, so, if you're getting involved in writing a message, you make lose everything if you take too long to write a message. That is a double negative. I will be departing after my membership, a monthly, expires after 1 month.
