A lot of these reviews seem to be from men.... would you like to hear about it from a woman's perspective?

I've been on LL for a few months. My experience sounds different from all of yours. Yes, my pic is public. Yes, my profile is real. Yes, I have sometimes made the first move and *gasp* bought and used credits. No, I am not a "professional".

I can get quite a few smiles, e-mails and backstages in a week. If you're wondering why a girl might not respond, it's not necessarily because her profile is fake. Maybe it's because your profile is rife with misspelled words and those annoying "lol" things. Maybe it's because you think that you're "fit" or "muscular" and, well, you're not! Maybe you've put a "rant" in your profile about women who "play games" -- it really doesn't make you look good. Maybe your pic includes a poorly blacked out picture of your ex. Maybe your IM introduction made her feel uncomfortable. Maybe she's not interested in a guy over the age of 40 with grandkids! Maybe your e-mail is an obvious form letter.....

I've met about a dozen guys for coffee, drinks, dinner, whatever -- and I've kept quite a few of them as friends. And yes, sometimes I don't get answered back either -- suck it up and move on to the next one!
