12/02/2007 | It is a good site. I got several dates from it. One guy I dated on and off for about a year but I saw that he was still visiting the site regularly and he was also afraid of commitment. Another guy I found genital herpes medication at his home so I ended that pretty quickly. It is good for dating but the chances are slim to meeting "the one". Hey... you never know. However, you are taking a risk because you don't know their past or where they've been as opposed to meeting someone through a friend, etc

12/15/2005 |  three months into my separation from my husband......lonliness was getting the better of me...... so I decided to utilize this site as refuge from my dateless nights (my STBX is enjoying many date filled nights all while living rent free in the comfort of his mommy's basement....lovely) Anyway. It is free to set up your profile and add a picture, which is highly recommended. The freebies with a free membership include bland, prefabricated greetings called "eyecontacts" that you can send to someone that catches your eye. You can also respond to messages sent to you by a paying member. The constant ping pong game of sending eye contacts though loses it's magic........ QUICK, and eventually, one or both of the parties will lose interest and eventually dissapear off the radar. One way some "free" members try to get by without paying is to sneak in their yahoo screen name and encrypt it into their headline, example...... "hotstud at the hoo", usually yahoo. The administrators of this site are very wise to this and usually will place a huge "CENSORED" over the screen name.
I have met one man on this site that I enjoyed a total of two dates with. I enjoyed his company and was interested in spending more time with him, he always suggested getting together again, however I was the one doing all of the work, meaning, I would call and confirm. I had to cancel our third date due to other plans that I had. I IMd him suggesting we meet for lunch that day....... I never heard back from him, and still havn't. So that was my foray into Cupid. I still see his profile up there and he is a daily visitor and ocasionally I will see that he is STILL viewing my profile, but will not contact me.......... OK.
That was about the only guy on this site that caught my eye. I do get tons of eye contacts and messages from men who look like they are perpetually stuck in 1986, complete with mullet and Van Halen muscle shirt. The guys who live half a world away from me, the 47 year old men who clearly do not fit into my age preference, and the guys with 4 small children under age 8 whom they have custody of because mommy is a drug addict.
As I write this, I am contemplating taking the ad down because at this very minute, I get bombarded with new emails that yet another loser from cupid is trying to eye contact me. They do have catchy little "let down easy" responses that you can use to inform a dud that you are just not interested. After using this, just pray that you are not stalked and harrassed.
Use with caution and take with a grain of salt. An ok website and a great place to get someone's attention, however if you do not pony up the cash for a membership, don't expect too much in the way of communication.
