The free membership is ridiculous there is no way you could interact with the other profiles. It's easy to pick out fake accounts because they never reply to you. The fake ones I would suspect are used by ihookup employees. Why are you going to send me a icebreaker like "hey handsome" then no reply. It's because they aren't real accounts. I uploaded a pick of my face for the first time and got a message from a real girl I think. Her message read "So what are you doing in a place like this..." She wasn't very attractive so she seemed like a real account and message. Hey don't get me wrong I hope she finds someone... in a place like that. I only went for the 2 day trial so it wasn't highway robbery. Maybe if I went for more time I could of found a hook up.
One last thing I hated the fave system. You are able to add a person to your favorites profile list. I hated that people would fave you and they are from a different city of country (maybe ihookup employees). Its like oh cool she's hot but lets hope on a plane hope she's real? Its a waste of time.
