Even though it seems to indicate otherwise on the "upgrade" screens that layout the differences between membership levels you can not even_receive_ emails as a basic member or see_any_ profile details. After joining for the 3 day trial, and actually just a couple hours after I made sure to cancel the auto re-billing (which by the way you have to do through a separate website, the billing agency). I found some profiles that looked pretty real but nearly all of the emails I had gotten and was curious to read were just one liners asking you to email them back. This site is just not worth it! They should at least let you read emails that silver and gold members send to you and it would be nice to at least see basic profile info about other members at the basic membership level.
