Lavalife used to be pretty good for meeting single women in the Montreal area. IMs were often returned and you could strike up a conversation with a good percentage of the women you contacted. Lately,especially since the site was revamped, there are very few women, mostly the same ones on all day long, you send smiles, they aren`t even recognized, which leads me to believe they are fake profiles. Alot of Russian women infiltrating the site as well. A waste of time and money. I doubt they will be around much longer. I`m going to Match.com.
