See Meister's post on this thread. I think he's telling it like it is. You've got to lower your standards to use AM.
Also, based on what I hear from the woman I know who's a member, the guys treat meeting her like a date. They buy her dinner/drinks, the occasional gift, etc. In other words, it ain't really a booty-call free-for-all. That's why I've suggested it's probably cheaper to hobby. (Also, don't forget that the guys pay all the AM service fees for any premium services like chat, IM, etc, as well. That's how AM makes their money).
Why would guys shell out? It seems the women know what the ratio of men to women is, and are prepared to exploit it for all it's worth. So, if you're looking to split the check, chances are she will will move on the the next dozen guys who will "treat her right".
AM has it's uses, but any hobbiest used to picking out the best available young women, getting what they want for reasonable prices, and investing little time in finding them, will be disappointed in AM. I think it's more useful for those who are lonely and are really looking for companionship. That's something you can find on AM that an SP can't give you.
Like Scorpion King, I have a number of women in my life, but I met none of them through an online dating service. I don't know why I would bother. However, I've never really enjoyed "slumming it" when it came to women.
