It's been a good experience. I enjoy it but I hate the instant messaging system. Lavalife has enabled me to expand my circle, meet new people and try new experiences (like eating smoked salmon pizza, mmmmmmm). It's an efficient way to meet people, definitely.

There was one particular person I've exchanged smiles and emails with. At the beginning, he posted photos of himself openly showing his balding head. A few months later, his profile photo was stil there but with the top of his head cropped off. I saw him in a different section and you see only his face (the top and sides of his head cropped off). The irony is that he was open in his profile write up about his having herpes as well but he's not so open about his hairloss. Why try to even hide his baldness? It will come out sooner or later!

Ultimately, I never got around to meeting him because he had an Intimate Encounters profile. Shame on him...maybe that is how he caught it!
