Tip: A good photo makes all the difference. I posted one of my best snapshots (of my being happy and in good spirits - it does translate into the photo) and, for the next four months, I never had to pay for credits, a lunch, dinner or a drink. I met all sorts of good men...and having fun doing so. I made some good friends too.

I was in the Dating category and, the downfall is that I do get asked for a one-night stand as if some men think all categories (Dating, Relationships, Intimate Encounters) are interchangeable. I am so happy to give them heck for it.

I am all too happy to give a guy superheck for having a Dating profile looking for a equally-comfy-in-jeans-as-in-a-ballgown girl, then he has an Intimate profile looking to swap fetishes, get spanked and have a hot oil masage. Guys, choose one category and stick to it. Ask out only the girls in the category you picked. You dont do it, you will rightfully get heck sooner or later.

One other downside is to the system itself: Instant Messaging. First, you cant turn it off. I would be answering mail or browsing only to get interrupted by an unwanted instant message. Second, it doesnt control the quantity you of IM's you get; try managing up to 15 guys who want to chat with you. Abominable. The way I cope is to put 'No Instant Messages' visibly on my opening line. That way, if someone does IM me, I'm not obligated to talk to him even though he spent credits to chat with me.
