I've had the same experience as others. Once you have paid for 15 messages and receive their e-mail address, they loose interest and dissapears.
I've figured out a way to check whether it could be fake profiles:
Many of the profiles have an address like this: "*******@mail.ru"
I send an e-mail to profiles I think are interesting by using theire profile name and *******@mail.ru. If it does not come in return and they do not answer, it's probably a fake profile.
I have also written in the profile text that those who contact me have to show that they have read the profile through what they write in their answers. Hardly anybody does it. They have not read the profile.
Some think the pictures are so nice - I have none! All my photos have private viewing.
We are sorry that you chose such uneffective method of checking profiles as trying to guess other members' email addresses. Very few of our members use their nicknames for email addresses, most of them prefer their first and last names or completely unrelated words. Most of the first messages that you get on the site are free introductory broadcasts that is why they would not mention anything you wrote in your profile. Mass mailers are available for both male and female members. Our members select criteria that are important to them and make a search through profiles that match their criteria, then automatically send introductory letters to all members that came up.
