On a little bit of a different and weird note...
I just saw a girl that I've seen on lava and POF for years and she's now advertising SP services on CL. I even went on POF to make sure it was the same women and sure enough it was. I'm wondering if she got fed up trying to find the right man, being lonley, and said, screw it, might as well not be lonley and get paid doing it.

I had picked up 2 MPAs and 2 SPs from POF within the last 2 months, alll young asians. The MPAs were quite honest and told me up front they were MP girls looking for horny customers. The SP were younger ones looking for sugar daddy or somebody to take them shopping or pay them to sleep with. One was very pretty but way too greedy. One thing I like about POF is you can monitor when they were on line and what they were doing, something like browsing or chit chatting with some one live.
Oh san sensei krayjee, you got to show me the light on spotting MPA and SP @ POF?? or how to make them contact you *bows* lol
Yeah I've had that on both sites as well...but this was different in the sense that Ive seen her on the sites for years with a very regular profile. Genuinely looking for a man. Im thinking she heard of people doing this on these sites and decided "what the hell..." and got in on the action.
+1 :biggrin1:Oh san sensei krayjee, you got to show me the light on spotting MPA and SP @ POF?? or how to make them contact you *bows* lol
I can see how a combination of all these factors can work, the only problem is that jerking off now sounds like more fun.
Lavalife is old news, and beset with problems. I'm not looking for a GF now, so I'm out of touch with the latest online dating news, but guys I work with have good luck with Plenty of Fish, and perhaps some others that I've never heard of. But Lava was a pain.
Back in the day, I was looking in the Intimate encounters section - casual dates/hookups. It worked sometimes, about on par with Adult Friend Finder, the usual casual dating caveats notwithstanding: It takes a lot of time, and effort. I found that it took about 100 email exchanges to initiate one meet and greet. Then about one viable contact out of every ten actual meet ups.
AFF was free, but I'd encourage a paid membership and absolutely put in some kind of photo, or a guy is just wasting his time.
Lava costs to send/reply to emails. Problem is, the company baits its members with fake spam contacts to their accounts. a 50 year old male, will get innumerable "winks" or "smiles" from 20 year old hot chicks, (several a day) until these account is out of money. Then suddenly these contacts will dry up. I forget what each reply costs a guy - a buck or two - but it adds up if you fall for the "too good to be true" spam sent out by these Lava employees.
If you were looking for a real relationship, on the other hand, dating sites are a good deal, compared to the dating clubs that cost thousands of dollars. As you would expect, the numbers of people online in "Intimate Encounters" on Lava at any given time were about 100 on average. In the "Dating" side about 300, and then 600 to 900 in "Relationships"
The numbers of profiles overall in each section on Lava were commensurate, which is about on par with what you might honestly expect women are actually looking for. Even given that many of the profiles in lava's "Intimate"
section are fake, and just there to draw sucker emails.
I'd avoid Lava in favour of some of the other sites, unless you have lots of time and money, and your bullshit filters are first rate.

I got suckered into Match.ca....I was getting those spam winks and messages but they were all from the USA so I ignored those. Then I get a message from Toronto Canada so I figured it must be a real. Once I paid and replied back, the profile was deleted.
Oh, is that how they do it now?
Sorry, as I said, I've been out of it for some time. A few years back, the deal was you bought "credits" for a set amount, and it cost something like 8 credits to respond per email. Women, however, could respond for free, but it cost a guy 8 credits to send a text.
Smiles, or winks, were free for both sexes.
My partner and I used to use Lava Intimate to look for 'couples' contacts, but got sick of the obvious Lava generated spam winks.
A set fee membership will keep the number of fake emails down, so maybe its not so bad now.
Still, I'd be reluctant to go back on Lava, just on principle.
They changed it. It used to be a credit system. Pay to send emails, then responses were free. I believe if you have an account from that era, you're grandfathered in. That system was way better. It was far cheaper than what they do now.
I've just finished up a week of lavalife which was free. I've used online dating off and on for a number of years with varying degrees of success. This is my first time using lavalife since they changed the pay system to a monthly fee.
I've always thought that lavalife was better than POF simply because people there seemed to be more serious. My week here has confirmed that. After literally months on POF with zero prospects, my week at lavalife has given me 3 very good prospects, despite having less women to pick from (or at least is seems that way). The women on POF are absolutely spoiled for choice IMO so as has been stated previously, they have out of whack expectations.
One negative though, I've been aggressively contacted (spammed) by hot women all over the USA and Canada who are either in Ghana or Russia. Without the free trial period, this was never an issue in the past.

Are you terminally ill or handicap? If not, why not just go talk to women in public places? It's free and less work - well less work on computer, but more work on foot - which is healthier and makes you more outgoing and confident. Women you meet are real too, not just a picture and profile.
WHAT?? SCARED? Don't know what to SAY?? Then I suggest you checkout my website ... www.puabestmate.com
Most importantly you get better results than online! It is less dependent on your looks, more on how you present yourself, what you say, how you say it, your confidence etc... In other words, there is much more you can do in real life to convince a woman to give you her phone number than online. Period. think about it... long and hard... now are you still SCARED??
