i was laughing at some of the angrier postings.. Thesquare ( used to be called Oursquare) is no different from yahoo, match, or other sites - same percentage of losers vs. normal pleasant men ( can't say about the ladies!) i do think there is some extra security there - people are credentials-checked, they register with their real names, etc - but there is an inherent snobbery that i dislike. also, as somebody previously noted, the volume is low compared to more traditional sites. still, i like the filtering - on Thesquare, i don't have to reply politely to some nascar fan who sends me an "I like an inteligen women" message.
