Well, first of all from a usage point of view ...

It is a difficult system to manage and navigate. At this point I have some 1500 open matches and their is no way to keep track of them all. It is even a tedious process to try to close them, so i don't bother.

You have to follow their tedious process to get anywhere. After a while, their dumb little questions and "must haves" get tedious ... the responses are simply ignored, since they don't really tell you much. It's exhausting by the time you get to "open communications". However, the few who have made it that far with me have turned out to be pretty interesting/compatible. The down side is that they are from all over the world. So as much as I would like, I can't possibly pull that off.

I have learned a lot about women, however, probably things I wish I hadn't ... as they say, you really don't want to know how they make sausages.

A recommendation to women --- don't pose with your dog. If the one thing you can't do without is your "dog" -- or even worse, "dogs" -- I don't want to know. I used to like dogs, but I've found that relationships with dogs have changed mightily over the years. No, dogs are never just like family, they are pets. I can accept a woman's children -- that seems natural, but I don't want to have to fight for attention wih her animals.

Over 50% of the women have read the DaVinci Code. No, ladies, that is NOT an intellectual tour de force, so I am not impressed. Read Joseph Conrad, or Thomas Hardy, or D.H. Lawrence or Hesse. Then I will be impressed by your intelligence or love of the arts. No one has.

And get in shape. Sorry, I go through the trouble, and not just to look good. At our age, it is important, healthwise. These days, 50+ is not that old, so why look it?

Anything else you want to know? Just ask.
