I should have taken most advice listed here but no b/c I tend to go against the grain and the majority. Well, I've been fooled. The first thing that ticked me off is that they auto renewed me when it was not clearly stated. I saw an option for 1 month at $59 or 3 month deal for $99. I only wanted to try it for one month so I signed up for $59. I figured they would cancel me but they did not and billed me $39 for the second month. Anyone who knows elementary math knows that $59 + $39 > $99 so this was like an underhanded scheme they pulled on me by the non-explicit auto renew standard setting and now I only get 2 months for the same price plus I had to set my auto renew settings to non-renew.

The second thing that ticked me off is I spent 20 min filling out this so called expert 'psychological' profile and I get back a bunch of conclusion about me. I'll go into that later. Initially I got like 20 matches w/in 2 days except only one posted photo and the others have photos but 'match selected to share photo at a later stage'. So I responded to half that seemed interesting. I then go through this 3 stage process of selecting likes and dislikes, must haves and can't haves, then pre-selected open questions. The other person must respond to me before I can go forward on each stage and this process can take several days to a week. After all this time, you finally get to ask open questions. Well, most matches never revealed their photos until the last stage. The only problem with this is that the match may not be my type, no before you call me superficial, there are certain types of people that you are attracted to as well. So after all this work I found that some are not my type in physical appearance while others have chosen to close communication with me.

Last, this psychological profile about me is nothing but a bunch of generic stuff that can match about a third of the people I know. I read one of the profiles of my match and about 70% of her stuff matches mine. Anyway, unless you have $60-$110 laying around and lots of time playing this getting to know you stages, go try another site that's less and cuts to the chase much faster.
