Several things have raised my eyebrow to question the legitimacy of this site, very subtle things, but still questionable.
First, I find it very strange that the number of members online they show on their site is 3-4 times more than other bigger dating websites, like Match.com. I think they just make up a number, or this could possibly be the count for all their members, not just the ones online.
Several months ago there was a problem with their sorting. When I chose to sort by distance so I could just see the members in my area first, there were members from other states and all over the country showing up first. When I asked support about this, they said "it will work itself out", and eventually in 2-3 weeks it did. But that tells me they have Mickey Mouse programmers who don't know how to administer a database.
I saw one members profile who said he was getting off the site because he was getting email responses from members who said he had contacted them, when in fact he never did. He said there were several of them.
At one time I was a paid member, but am not now. My membership expired a couple weeks ago. Within the last few days my profile shows that there has been 30-40 more profile visitors per day than I have ever had. Now don't tell me that was not instigated FO, or not even real at all. Just a baiting tactic by the website to get me to rejoin.
And last but not least, do not go on an international vacation and expect to have access to the website. They block all foreign ISPs. I guess they assume if your on their website then you don't have the money, class, culture or desire to travel out of the US.
All these things added up together smells scam.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
