I must also add to the negative reviews of this site, and in fact one review resonated with me very well.

When you are 40 and still would like a family, a woman who you are attracted to and who is seemingly intelligent and successful...well, you are looking for someone a little younger generally. You aren't limited to a younger lady, but you will have better luck in that arena I think.

The review below, from May 27th that resonated with me was the one with the rhetoric concerning the 30 plus year old ladies that look at the screen and think

"you one inch too short" delete
"you don't make enough money" delete
"you don't look like Tom Cruise" delete

and so on. Now, admittedly, I'm no George Clooney, and I will admit I am picky about physical appearance myself. But I had this crazy idea, I don't know why, probably from hearing it over and over from all of my female friends, that women tend to look not only at physical appearance but the personality, yada, yada.

OK, so here I am, 40, divorced, and have a seven year old little boy...there's the baggage, but the vast majority of the women I write to seem to indicate that this is fine in their profile. In fact many of them are divorced single parents themselves.

Alright so, I'm 40, in pretty good physical condition, only modestly overweight (hardly at all), have all of my hair, have a good job, am extremely educated (doctorate degree), I consider myself somewhat handsome, ....... I have written over the past year hundreds of emails...no responses. None! And it's not like I wrote insincere or overly forward things. It was mostly things like, "hey i noticed in your profile that you like biking. I'm also a biker and I thought we'd have something in common" and so forth

I really don't get it. It has been a huge disappointment to me.
