So I am an American male who joined this site looking for a long-term relationship with an attractive, intelligent woman, but I've noticed a few things about this site that I'd like to share and see if others feel the same, or made the same observations.

PROFILES: My observation is, particularly with women that they are completed with scant or minimal information at best which vexes me. If this is a dating site (regardless or of which type you're looking for) wouldn't you want to put as much information in your profile to ensure you attract the right kind of person? Subsequently, a great deal of time is wasting browsing profiles and makes for extremely superficial interactions, if any.

SITE FEATURES: The site is far to restrictive compared to other dating sites, particularly the "MATCH" feature. I find that restricting the match's photo is redundant based on a few factors such as; he/she may not be attractive to the pursuee, and also he/she may not share the same values or goals that you a have. ie... I am a Black American who's attracted to White, Latin and Asian women, so to require a member to upgrade and pay money to discover this is painfully obvious to generate profits and revenues, but also in a way dishonest, notwithstanding too restrictive.


Should you share my thought, ideas or sentiment(s), please respond and let your voice be heard.

Otherwise, feel free to reach out and make a friend or two.

I too HATE those profiles that are blank or say "ask me"..
No baby, that is NOT how this works...you need to put something there, so someone can read it and determine if there's anything about you they'd be interested in...

But, that's common on ALL the sites.
As is the number of people who made a profile once, and haven't been back on since..
Be nice if after 3-4 months of inactivity they'd get deleted, so those of us looking to meet someone wouldn't have to sift through countless profiles that have not been online since LAST year.

Also?
I hate when someone says "oh, the real people are in the Forums..great place to meet people and make a friend.."
Well, that isn't helpful, as the odds of randomly running across someone within a reasonable distance of me, and who I share anything in common with on the Forums are almost nil...

first off advanced search let's you filter many ways including ethnicity.

secondly this site is no different than any other for one picture empty profiles.

and lastly, why is it that every newbie thinks that mutual match is the be all end all of tools available on this site?
