There are fakes on Lavalife planted there to suck the money out of your account. It appears that the real contacts(and there are many) are not enough to keep Lavalife in the profit window they have set for themselves. A better site is Plentyoffish.com. It's free and therefore someone is not ripping you off. Why would you continue to give money to a comapany that steals from you? (despite the number of real people on the site) I'll continue to use it until my credits are spent but no more after that. My emails to those real customers on Lava I do contact, will also let them know that this fraudulent behaviour is taking place as well.

SORRY BUT THERE WAS NOT A MINUS 10 TO PICK DO NOT JOIN LAVALIFE...YOUR ODDS ARE BETTER IN A GRAVEYARD AND IT'S FREE

where to start the attractive women are just scammers and the big fat ugly pigs are real message me, send me backstage, anything to get a guy to buy and spend credits. how is this for funny...after complaining to lavalife that the site is a joke all of a suddent the women who i sent messages too replied...tell me that they are not employess of lava. spent $120.00 to get two contacts who i have never seen turn me down...who knows what they look like profiles are double standard, a man can not say the exact same thing that a woman can. as far as i am concerned every woman in canada should go to cuba and get married because that is what they deserve. i use to think the sun rose and set on woman...after one month on lava i now have absolutely no use for a woman again...break down on the highway and i'll throw coffee at you instead of help you now. how about those fraudulent ads...it takes seven seconds to find a hottie on lava, the number of people on lava just like you...sorry but there is no honest caring women on lavalife. even offered lavalife the chance to prove me wrong

take one month with unlimited contacts as they would not have to pay, they own it, and if you can pick up a hottie in one month without paying them, yes they tell you right up front it will cost you to be with them, i would give them double the money i spent, if they could not i would receive free service for the rest of my life plus my out of pocket expenses to this point...no they have not replied yet...that was two weeks ago.

out of curiosity did you know i can open an account as a woman and no one knows...so guys you could be spending money to talk to some pissed off guy like me who now just wants to get his money's worth now...sorry for your luck

and by the way, forwarned...there is no information on my profile yet the guys line up for me...12 instant messages waiting, 37 smiles, and 7 mail messages within 15 minutes...any wonder the women are screwing us over.

there was 578 men on line and 55 women, enjoy the odds guys.

the real problem with this is that almost every guy who goes on to this/or any other site, (they are run mostly by the same people), guess what our opinions of women are now...even when we met you in the real world...i will not even open a door for one now...there goes that nice honest guy that they all say they want but don't unless he has money.

DO NOT JOIN LAVALIFE...BETTER CHANCE IN A GRAVEYARD ! ! !

I have met some really wonderful men on LL, and have had several great loves. Honest, caring, emotionally stable, etc. LL has a very large clientele - the more choice the better.

Everyone has their own strategy to try and achieve success. Mine is to 1. skip the instant messaging - one liners are a waste of time. 2. exchange a few forthright email messages about employment, home life, and expectations, even if sex is the main objective. Real people still enjoy sex. 3. meet almost right away - within a week or less. It is impossible to judge someone over cyberspace. 4. be very honest about what I like but make no claims on what the man should be like or do for me 5. visit for an hour or two and ask at the end if they are interested in meeting again. If they ask me first, I am always honest about it, but tactful. 6. enjoy the date even though I may know right away it's a no-go. Be a good listener - every single man I've met has had something worth saying. It's a great learning experience - I've met all kinds of people I wouldn't normally talk to.

But most importantly, I leave my expectations at home. I, as well as everyone else, have had specific incidences that cause me to think one way or another about the men on-line or the dating/relns/intimate differences. None of us are mind-readers - everyone is thinking differently so don't be expecting people to respond how you think they should, or as others have. That is why there are so many bitter people out there. We only get burned when we set up our expectations a certain way.

Oh yeah. It's addicting. Once you are in a relationship, learn how to share with your partner the excitement of 'looking' in other ways.

After many years of looking for quality women on the online personals, I have come to the conclusion that dating AND marriage are nothing more than legal prostitution. Women who are fat or ugly or both come with a low price tag and very attractive women come with a very high price tag. This is no different than walking into a whorehouse and checking out the menu for you will find this is also the case. For the most part women online usually prostitute themselves to the highest bidder or the guy who has best photos AND income bracket. I used to be a "nice guy" who once despised players who were only after one thing but no more. I have now turned to the dark side. I was once honest and truthful and a true blue kinda guy who played by all the rules but no more. I am now the kinda guy your momma always warned you about. But you wont know it because i now will lie cheat and deceive you until I get what i want then i will dump you and move on. Oh dont think that i am just a bitter nut job in the minority here...many guys out here are beginning to feel the same as i do. I will eventually find and settle down with a good woman one day but it will most likely be a woman from the far east who has been raised with some real values and can appreciate a good man when she see one unlike you pretentious money grubbin spoiled rotten as hell American women. In fact...more and more men in the US are seeking foreign women because of the very reasons i have stated here. I do hope you valueless gold diggin women find the kind of relationship that you REALLY deserve.

Hi,

A couple of months ago I posted a review about my experience on lavalife. Yes, I had met a man on Lava which I fell for. At the time I posted my review I felt bitter and hurt.It has taken me almost a year to face the truth that all we can ever be is friends. This was my first heartache and it has taken a long time to heal. I must say that this man has been very patient with me. Instead of walking away which is what normally happens when two people don't click, he offered me his friendship. I wish that he doesn't leave my life, but there is nothing that connects us together. If we were to stop talking to each other, our paths would never cross. This saddens me the most sometimes. As a friend, I wish I could do so much for him. He has his circle of friends and I hope he will let me in one day. Presently, he adds more value to my life than I do to his. This makes me sad too. What can I do to add value to his life as a friend ?

My other problem is that I have a hard time being myself around him and it causes me to behave like an idiot. I think I try to hard sometimes. There is nothing that I would not do for him.

In my previous posting I had also mentioned that he had lied to me and that he had someone in his life. This is not true. He does want to meet someone to have a life with. He wants a family too. I hope he can share his happiness with me someday.

M.of M I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry about everything. Forever your friend Brown eyed girl

For what it's worth, I like the bar scene, meeting in supermarkets, at work, or whatever. I am been very successful at it, and met my husband that way. Losers can't handle the real life dating scene, so they run for the internet. For all you complaining narcissistic bitch females that can't seem to find anybody and wonder why all the attractive men on the planet don't throw themselves at your feet, did YOU ever think of asking an attractive man out? If YOU are as great as you think you are, you wouldn't need the internet in the first place. Internet dating has been a scam since it's inception that targets the losers of society. You can bilk the desperate over and over, it seems. This is in contrast to a REAL marriage agency that costs real money to join and sends losers that can't be matched right back out the door. Try Valenti International, if you have the membership fee and qualifications. Otherwise, honey, it's learn some social skills and make yourself visible and available. Otherwise, it's just your lot in life to stew in internet hell, and I for one have no problem in seeing people get what they deserve. I like the internet because it gives losers a hope of success and keeps them out of the way of the movers and shakers that really do end up meeting and creating a life together. The internet dating sites are as good as its members, so that should tell you something. People who even refuse to post a photo or write more than a two-sentence profile and leave after making a couple of halfhearted searches without deleting their profile. That allows the site owners to give a false idea of an expansive membership base. May those members rot in internet hell, and I think it's a good place to park their loser ass out of my sight anyway. May the owners of the websites party on your membership fees.

Most websites have folded up, and Lavalife will untimately be no exception. The owners of the websites really have only two problems: convincing you to sign up, and convincing you to renew a subscription. About 80% of the fees are collected from loser males, and even higher percentages from places like Friend Finder. For a month's subscription fee, you can go to a bar and buy drinks and have 1000 percent better change of meeting an interesting person. Just don't buy that first drink unless somebody you are interested in is there. There are lots of other bars to try out in a night's time.

Sorry Anon. but who do you feel you are really fooling? It's obvious that you are a represenative for the Lavalife. Why are you giving out advice on how one should spend their money? BTW, It is common in most cultures for men to make the initiative. It is not foolish for a women to wait to see how interested the guy is, as this is possibly but probably unlikely representative of his intentions. Yes, it makes perfectly good sense to you the business owner for women to buy credits but a few dollars is usually not the issue. My opinion is that this site attracts the exact crowd you would find in a 'meat market' bar scene. It's just more convienent for a guy to sit at his desk and shop. If your intentions are to only start a friendship forget it, guys seem to get pissed at that. I haven't met one who did not come on strong...and why doesn't anyone look like the pic.s they post? I would agree that this is a huge waste of time if you are looking for any quality relationships. I'm pretty sure, and even heard it from some guy friends, that the guys on LL keep a score card.

This site is okay. The biggest problem is the bad layout and crammed website design. You can't use the back button on this site either. I don't have a problem with the "pay as you go model" where you buy credits rather than a recurring subscription.

The local search logic is pretty messed up. In my local searches I get a majority of women in British Columbia. That is just not "local" to where I live in the Seattle area. To get a real local search you have to do a lot of fiddling with the custom search interface. I messaged back and forth with a few women and it didn't end up in any dates. One of them wanted to screen me in a Yahoo IM session and after that I never talked with her again. Eventually I met someone on this site who I had a year and half relationship with. I'm sure that was purely by random chance.

For men, you will get a lot of smiles from women in Russia who are 99% likely to be scammers. I got a lot from places like the Phillipines too.

I think relationship between man and women is most important,a man should always treat a women nice and with love and respect,who stands by her in bad and good times and takes care of all her necessities. He should give her all the love he can so that she feels like the luckiest person on this earth.
