I was so upset when I signed up and paid the big bucks for this site and only THEN did I start reading reviews. I figured it was money down the toilet. However, I wish I could talk to all of these people giving poor reviews because I have had nothing but a good experience. I get about 6 new matches each day and usually about 50% live very close to me and 50% live within an hour's drive. Every now and then I get someone that lives very far, but it is the exception to the rule. I have gone on several dates with men I have met through the site and I have only belonged for about a month and a half. I have met some really great guys but not 'the one' yet. I would love to talk to someone more about this because my experience has only been good.
