This site is such a joke
by marc80 at 9/14/2009 3:46:46 AM


Don't you think this site is a hypocrite. 100% free Personals yet they are sponsored by all the for pay dating sites. Also being a Gold member is obviously not free. Wouldn't you say the reason others receive more responses is because the Gold membership sort of rigs who is being viewed and who is not? I love how ads say will not respond to winks or friend requests. Send an email. Why waste your time when most of these people do not have the decency to respond to you by reading and deleting.

I don't find the site hypocritical at all. Revenue needs to be generated in some way to cover the costs of running the site. You do have choices: stay & make the most of it or delete your profile if you you feel so negatively about it. JMHO

ditto venus, i know more people that have hooked up on this site than the paid ones, i mean really do people expect Dustin to waste his life running this site for nothing & pay for all costs out of his own pocket? Grow up dude life doesn't work that way.

Sounds like someone is getting bored. Not getting the responses that you are looking for?. Open your eyes and smell the roses marc. This is Internet dating. cyberspace is definitely different from worldspace. You are young and handsome, take a look at your profile. You might want to be a little more gentle and optimistic JMHO

well i haft 2 agree 2 disagree, i think that it 's all about what u make it 2 be, as in any thing in life, u haft 2 be a go getter, if u sit there on line and don't be agressive in ur search u will be sitting there doing and complaining like ur doing now, rejection is a hard pill 2 swallow but if u drink some thing behind it ,it will go down easier

Venus yes revenue needs to be generated I agree with that. But putting something is free and having pay for sites sponsoring sounds very hypocritical. Some other site could sponsor so it is not so silly looking. We are free but yet out sponsors are pay for sites. I am not trying to be negative.

Bklynbabi No you can't expect someone to run a site for free especially when they have to pay costs to run it. I do not know why the grow up dude comment was rated. I understand how businesses are run. You need to obviously have your overhead paid somehow. It is just misleading. Gold Membership is not free. All I am saying is that is it not accurate to say that.

Roses . I write people and some write back. It is a pain in the neck to waste time when you do not receive responses. Yes, I know that very well. Someone who sounds great on here could be fake. Rememeber you can be anything behind a computer. I was just frustrated.

Jennyann Thank you I appreciate that. No one will give you anything for free and that is not what I want.

Catsmam Before I respond I am not sure what was meant by that. I can go many ways with my response to you.

We all have a right to our own opinion. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong, just different. Mine certainly differs from yours. Everyone here has the right to reject winks and friend requests and nobody is obligated to respond to all emails. That's life. Like venus said, staying or deleting your profile is YOUR CHOICE, Wise woman.

Thank you sir for responding to each of us as an indivdual,I understand your frustration with people not responding.Perhaps a few more blogs would help,there are a lot and wide varity of people that spend time out in the blogs reading and such.If nothing elese you can have some fun and meet some interesting people....What I meant in my previous is simplythat the more you read what the ladies have to say the better you'll understand how their minds work.As the old GI Joe saying goes...knowing is half the battle.Good fortunes to you.

sorry 4 the offence, i tend 2 be a little blunt sometimes, but i still maintain that the advertising makes it possible 4 us to participate in this site 4 free. I've ben on a year & haven't paid a penny, have you? I'm not personally interested in a gold membership as i have done quite well 4 myself on here with no extras, not even a pic! But that's me. Think it's most crucial 2 this process to have a great outlook & personality. Good Luck 2 ya hun & hope you stick around, you may be pleasantly suprised @ how things work out with a littles patience

Well Mr. Marc80, I have to agree to disagree as well, I have been on this (free) site for about 1 year, I upgraded to gold member,which really is not that costly compared to the Sponsors,lol. and really doesn't make a difference on your account as far as what you can and cannot do. This site is great, you can customize your page anyway you want as a free member. Oh, did I mention I met that special woman here a week ago?. Maybe Mr. Waltaz is right, let someone else take your picture

I don't think this site is a joke at all. Have I met someone. No. But I have made some really great friends in the process and if the one comes along then it will be even better. Have fun and enjoy it.

marc, you have another picture on you profile, that's the one I was referring to, as you being handsome. Please change it, enhance yourself.

This is an awesome site,Maybe you should change your pictue and your profile,its all about what you want, what about what you have to offer? it makes you sound selfish,this site is all about sharing and caring be it friends or lovers

Marc80 - maybe a change of perspective will help. Rather than finding hypocrisy in this site because other dating sites are sponsors, maybe it should be viewed as a funny kind of irony. Look at the benefits you receive here for free. Even a paid membership on the other sites doesn't offer as much. I ssay - Yeah! Go Dustin. How smart/shrewd is that?
