Most people you get exposed to live hundreds of miles away. You don't know how far until check out profile. If you are looking to make and establish friendships this is the place to be. If you are looking for a good selection of people close to you only, better shop some place else. AND, if you submit a notice of cancellation they will use your profile to send out span messages to people you have never met directing them to profiles of people that you do not know. If you bother to tell the offended people you sent the messages then you will have your account terminated without notice and well before your paid term expires.
