With the having to pay to do anything. It really weeds out skumbags. I. E. To poor to afford to spend a few bucks because they wouldn't be able to afford their carton of cigs and booze AND children things. And if they are truely on their own not just looking to cheat on their man while hes at work, they probably have lots of bills. In conclusion great for seeing quality people... assuming you don't get lots of free profiles popping up... but not much better than the free dating sites. And not as good as the more expensive sites
