Like most subscription services, FriendFinder and it's cousins is a site for attractive women willing to post a photo. For everyone else, it's a waste of time. The new profile of a woman with photo will get dozens, perhaps hundreds of e-mails. Of course, most of these men will not have read her profile. :)

On a slightly different note, I'd like to see a web "service" that is set up to put you in touch with another member, although neither of you is a subscriber. Here's the way it could work: I e-mail 'susan@unofficial.match.com', and that in turn goes thru a valid, paying account at Match.com (or whatever site you are on), and includes your personal e-mail address. You get in touch, and neither of you pays. Anyone want to touch this? :)
