I found my current boyfriend on this site!

If this is your approach to dating, then I think it probably is.

Don't hate the player....hate the game.
The odds are good but the goods are odd....and live far far away. Maybe try the produce isle at your local high end supermarket....say, "heeeeyyyy girl, what's tricks? You here to mildew or you here to barbecue?' Works everytime.

Use the membership button to find people near you who are within your designated parameters, then start reading their posts and profiles, join in their post conversations, and when you find someone with a lot in common with you, whose profile indicates that you would be compatible with her expectations also, private message her to see if she enjoys conversing with you. If all goes well, ask to meet her for a cup of coffee, your treat.

Yes. You should delete your account immediately and never come back.

Pretty much. Distance is the major barrier for me.

Yes, if you look grim in your main photo and don't write an interesting profile.

That's true with all dating websites.

For some. Not for others. Be an other, not a some, and maybe you'll get what you're looking for.

I am sure there will be someone out there for you. Why don't you start with looking for friends?
