Wow...hopefully the_wife_from 7th_h is not a Yahoo employee trying to boost the score. I'm not sure if that bigoted and close-minded diatribe is what Yahoo had in mind when they encouraged her to post.

As to my own review, I just want to preference by saying that I am not yet a paying customer. I thus mostly based my review on my initial impressions of the site and anecdotal experiences of friends. I do have several friends who have had varying levels of success with both Yahoo and Match. As Mike from Shoreline very insightfully pointed out, success stories are not one size fits all. I have a good friend who had fun meeting new people, even though she eventually met her current bf from another source. My aunt has been having a nice time boosting her confidence by getting back out there after her divorce. I do in fact know someone who married one of their Yahoo matches, but it's bound to happen once in awhile when two people who want the same thing get together for any reason. A close male friend of mine, unfortunately, had considerably less success. Although he did meet up with one or two people, he had considerable difficulty getting responses and was bombarded with Russian models/brides.

I do like the search features on Yahoo, and there seem to be a decent number of people pretty close to my town. As I have been doing some consumer research to choose the site that's right for me, I have often had to create a semi-profile to even explore the site. Several others like PerfectMatch and EHarmony proceeded to take my very vague, picture free, nonpaying profile and send it out to un-expecting paying members. This doesn't seem to be a problem I have come across with Yahoo.

All and all I have enjoyed this review site. I am currently deciding between Yahoo and Match. I really appreciate everyone's reviews for their informational and sometimes entertainment value!
