Well...I'll share a bit of my experience. And it isn't that good...so.
First, I've been told by most women, that women don't respond to men, only men to women. The only exception is if he looks like a moviestar.(OK...that may be a BIT of an overstatement...but...read on...) Second, it seems these places are made up of many people who just seem to like being told how "cute" or "sexy" they are. It's like an addiction. They date someone for a bit, but need that "fix", so they never stay in a relationship, and go back online.. I've never been told I am any of the above. I actually dislike the places, but I go because I am looking for friends to begin with.
Well, I haven't made many friends, because hardly anyone has responded to either my ad or my emails. I tell women, right off, I am a happy, content with-myself person. You can't be really "needy" in these places.(I am not saying you are.) That will bring trouble. Forget the shopping-list of demands....and stay away from those types of people who preach these things as well..(Well, to a point...as explained below.) Find someone who is happy with themselves, and wants to share that, and you the same, and it is most likely to work out. I don't mean to sound cynical, but there seems to be very few people like this out there.
Just IMHO...
