I payed for a three month gold description. It turns out you can send emails and chat requests, but ONLY OTHER GOLD MEMBERS can read it. Non gold members can see that they've been sent an email but they can't read it or respond. This promps them to pay the money for gold membership, as id did me. Except that the message I got was some generic bull$#*! from someone who was spamming it to everyone. The point is, ONLY GOLD MEMBERS CAN COMMUNICATE, and THEY CAN ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER GOLD MEMBERS. Thus, YOU CAN ONLY TALK TO, AND POTENTIALLY DATE THOSE WITH GOLD MEMBERSHIPS, THUS EXCLUDING 90% OF THE PEOPLE ON THE DATING SITE. YOU CAN ONLY DATE A TINY FRACTION OF THE PEOPLE YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO!
Complete rip-off! Match.com is the only site, I believe, where free members can still communicate with gold members, as long as the gold members contact them first. However, even this might be a mis-communication, so don't take my word for it!
