I give it 3 stars because it is what it is. After you see how it works, you can use it to meet and get good dates. You get used to cutting through the junk people post:

"I want to have fun/looking for fun" -- yeah, that's meaningful.

However, in the last few days I have been amused with the number of fake profiles just in the Atlanta area, and in my saved searches. I generally only review my saved searches - 30-42, christian, non-smokers, etc.

Look for 2-4 professional photos of very attractive girls/woman; usually one or more in a natural setting, such as by a fence, in a field,beside a barn. etc.; with the text never mentioning anything specific about the location. Usually have similar activity times as they are logged in together, as if someone logs them in one after the other every few days. I made one a favorite one time, and followed her through as she changed cities. Sometimes the profiles disappear and come back later.

If this many (a dozen plus) are in my local saved search, I can imagine how many they have in the whole system.

Check the profiles, and you see the clear pattern and how they look -- Jellofruit, simpleandshy250, tcwinabluedress, 40svintagefixer, VerbalRepartee, southernsweetiee, chaitea4, kirstiehere, dialoguestarter, rb89108, pintobeans199, meaningbehindit, characterfit, stephaniesturn (on the cusp, since it has a "real life" pic included); 1plus1makesume, formula401, mandy30075, tami3018, tifflikeshorses, myantonia30004, seekingwitwisdom, yourtakeonlife, gottagogottago, etc. Keep in mind they may all not be visible any given day, but I have made the list in the last week.

That is 23 fake profiles just in my local saved search!! Obviously, they are all so similar they come from the same source. No chance Match does not know it, and possible they do it.
