I wish I read the other reviews before signing up. This is by far the worst matchmaking website. I have tried several and although the concept appears good, once you sign up (NO REFUNDS, by the way), you learn that the search engine is totally unacceptable. Forget Key word searches- They give you profiles of people a 1,000 miles away. There are obviously limited matches in the NY area which is why they don't let you narrow your search. The reason you join these services is to meet someone you can have a relationship with. Not make cross country trips. What a rip off! And when you inquire about improvements they have absolutely no commitment (now there's a funny word) as to when they will upgrade their system. Oh, and the perfect matches they send you (1 a month) is an even bigger joke!!! There are far better options than this site.

Golfmates may not give you a full blown personality description, but at least you can find someone with a similar passion and go from there..... Good luck with your search.
