Jeez, I am not surprised this site does not work for some guys. This site will give you what you put in. And if you are expecting immediate results you should try a hooker instead! Also keep in mind that this is not a sex dating site! Don't mistake this site with Cougars69.com or some other "MILF hook up sites". Women on CL are (usually) seeking a serious relationship.
I've been on all major cougar dating sites (CL, Cougars69, JC) on and off for about 2 years now and I liked all of them but they are all different from each other! Know what you want!
Now the bad news: I believe that all of them place fake profiles. I guess that is part of the business. But once you use your common sense you should be fine!
Stop complaining! CL is a good site and it will give you what you put in. Period!
