Although I can empathise with some of the woes some people might have had I only remember a positive experience. Only one out of about 20 women I had email exchanges with turned out to be a scammer - the bad old Nigerian style inheritance scam. Most women were pleasant, intelligent and sincere (as much as detectable online).
Anyway I eventually found my dream lady offline but I must say in all fairness that this site is worth a chance if you stay level-headed and street/net smart all the time.
If I look for a grain of salt it would be that some of the (apparently immature) female members send SMS style emails, containing 4-5 encrypted words. A major turnoff ladies! I also found it strange that quite a few girls in their twenties contacted me although I requested 40 in my profile.
In essence though it's not a bad site. Also the chat rooms are friendly even though populated mostly by the same crowd.
Side note, a friend of mine found her husband on there and they are still going strong.
Good luck.
Pros
Very international
Cons
Can be a bit immature
