I have been an active member of this site for a few years now, off and on. The types of guys I get most of my messages from are either husbands trying to cheat on their wives, couples in poly-friendly relationships, nerds who are very socially awk, and guys looking to apply for a green card. So, yes, I do get a lot of messages but it is not at all an ego boost! Quite the opposite actually, when I'm no longer laughing. Once in awhile, I find someone really cool that makes all the trudging through the sewage worth it. I tried a-list for 6 months, and I have to say it made the process a whole lot easier to be able to see who "likes" me. All the guys who liked me did not show up on my list of visitors, so I wouldn't have come across them otherwise. I have friends who joined and met their now-husbands within their first week on the site; however, the majority of women I know who've tried it have nothing but bad things to say about it and I can see why. Lol. There is no quality control on this site whatsoever, and as a woman you should expect to receive an overwhelming number of sexually explicit and outright creepy messages weekly if not daily. I sometimes wonder if I'm too harsh and give some guys the benefit of the doubt as a result. In rare cases I have been surprised, but for the most part not. Overall, I've had a lot of fun and got a lot of good stories out of it. If you're thinking of giving it a go, be prepared to put some time into it!

I know I'll be in good hands if I'm at a Hilton. It's usually one of the first I look for on business trips and you get free wifi if you join their free loyalty program.

Basically all the same users as OKC, which is free, so what's the point?

I spent time creating a well written profile when joining this site and tried it out for several months. I didn't find a single guy shown to me at noon remotely appealing--my reaction was literally--yikes! I tried changing my match criteria to be more specific about who I'd be into and I went for two solid months of receiving zero matches before emailing them asking them to delete my account. You only get quality after a lot of quantity, and this site simply doesn't have that.

I've used hotwire a bunch of times--the annoying thing about booking a hotel with them is that it takes a long time for the reservation desk to locate your reservation everytime. I had an issue with a booking once, and the customer service rep was rude, nasty, and hung up on me. I called back, waited on hold, and the $#*! picked up the phone and hung up on me again. I'm speechless by how unprofessional it was; I'm never using hotwire again.
