Hello All.

I am in my 7th month of match (if you don't find your match in 6 months, you get another 6 months free). All was hopping for the first 3 months; got a lot of emails and went out on several dates with a few nice gentelman. But I have to say that I am astounded by the blantancy of some of the subscribers who email you, and in the next email, assert themselves in a sexual manner. I do my best to weed through these types immediately. Like the poster mentioned here earlier, guys, write engaging profiles. Also, I find that the men who contact me never really mention my profile (It's very detailed and good), or ask anything about me. Seems all some of them want is another photo (I have like 7!) Many are in a hurry to meet, and for COFFEE, no less! I refuse to meet for coffee just so you can "check me out." If the men do not want to get to know more about who I am BEFORE meeting, then that's their problem. Another issue is several weeks ago I added "I will no longer respond to winks." at the end of my profile -- I received about 30 since. Proof that a lot of men don't even read profiles. I am in my 40's, and nothing irritates me more than when I get a "wink" or email from someone who lists that they are looking for a woman between the ages of 18-(fill in a #). These are guys in their 40's and 50's. What a turn-off!

By now it is no surprise that a subscriber to match WILL be contacted by someone, who is waaaay younger (Looking for sugar mamma, or daddy). Waaay older, looking for some "young" stuff. Someone who is just horny. Or someone from Nigeria having an urgent crisis and needing your money, I mean, help. EXPECT IT! You just have to know how to spot them.

I guess I really can't blame match 100%, it is also a sad testament of the times.
