I, too, wish I could assign a negative 5-star rating to this outfit. After reading a sizeable number of the posts here, I concluded that my results ... or lack thereof ... on e-net dating sites are typical of the interaction that men can expect from the ladies. And here was I, naively assuming that my married status and 60+ age were putting the kibosh on my results :D A couple of years ago I tested my profile on Lavalife (they're shysters, incidentally) by creating a second profile with similar similar physical stats and location for a single 40 year old guy. In the six weeks or so that this profile was available, I never got a "single" (excuse the pun ... I couldn't resist :-) reply. It isn't the lack of a picture that's adding to the problem. I have been on AFF off and on (handle: alwaysLQQKIN) using the exact same profile with or without a picture. The few ... VERY few .. promising responses I got were while I had no picture available. And no, I'm not scary or disgusting to look at! Although AFF also claims to screen replies to weed out those with an e-dress in them, in practice I find they don't manage to catch very many, if any, such messages, so it's easy enough to move to a regular e-mail account once you've established enough rapport with your correspondent to feel secure in doing so. That's when I send my picture(s). You'd think that the only interested ladies would be those who, due to their age or attached status, can't attract younger or single guys. However, my most promising results have been from single women in the 39-45 age range. Oh, I did receive one from a 21-year old local girl, with VERY explicit pix, but she was obviously looking for a sugar daddy or was in the "business". Like several fellows here have mentioned, many female "wish lists" include a demand for a big schlong ... I guess these women have never attended statistics classes; otherwise they would know that they're excluding the majority of otherwise eligible guys from their search. Lavalife = waste of time & money.
