people need to stop blaming the website for their own bad luck
Review about OKCupidIt's free, the profiles are real, and the service is well run. Every paid site I have tried has been a scam - other members can't reply unless they pay, profiles are fake, they don't show you how long it's been since the person has been active (because they want to create the illusion of more active members than they have)
This site let's you search by how long it's been since someone was on or how new they are to the site. And you can "hide" profiles from your search so you don't have to keep wading through profiles you're not interested in.
As for all the negative reviews here, these people are whiners. If women aren't writing you back IT'S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T INTERESTED. If you meet someone who turns out to be a psycho IT'S NOT THE SITE'S FAULT, it's your fault for not being picky. And if the selection of people isn't as good as you think it should be, that's not the site's fault either!
This site does what it's supposed to do - features real profiles of currently active members you can easily contact. The first time you're on it can be a little time-consuming going through all the profiles of active members. But after that all you have to do is search for new members to stay updated.
Pros
- profiles are real
- totally free
- shows you how long it's been since they were online so you're only contacting active members
- large number of members
- Allows you to hide profiles you're not interested in so you don't have to wade though them every time.
Cons
None come to mind.
Does what it promises - a lot of these reviewers are whiners
Review about Plenty Of Fish (POF)It's free, the profiles are real, and the service is well run. One importnat feature is that they show you how long it has been since the person was online (most paid services don't do this because they want to give you the illusion of thousands of members when actually most of them haven't been online in months)
The only change I'd like to see is being able to "hide" a profile you're not interested in so you don't have to wade through the same ones every time you search.

- only con I can think of is that it would be nice if you could hide profiles from your searches so you don't have to wade through the same profile every search.

Review: TURD of all dating sites.
I have NO idea what this reviewer is talking about. I only occasionally come across fake profiles on OKCupid, and when I do I report them and they're usually gone the same day.
Review: The Jaded and the Dip****
Maybe what they need to do is simply limit how many members you can contact in a day.
Review: What a waste of time!
Yet another guy trying to blame a dating site for his bad luck with women. OF COURSE most women reply selectively, it's because they get a ton of emails from every guy aged 18 to 65. But I have never had a problem getting a response when I have sent a respectful email that made it clear I had read their profile and we had things in common. Even when I have written to women well out of my age range they almost always reply if it's an honest email regarding a common interest (i.e. I might see someone is into a certain type of music and I just want to recommend a few similar artists)
