I didn't get ripped off by this cash machine because I decided to be crafty and check it out before parting with any emmbership fees. I created two profiles. My own male one and then a fake female one. As a male I couldn't access squat diddley but got messages from 92 women allegedly living only a few miles from where I lived - all of them in their mid to late twenties... I then checked them out using the female alter ego I had created to vet them for authentitcity, as women get automatic gold membership. My suspicions soon proved to be true, as none of the women knew anything about the city that I lived in, avoided the questions that I asked them or simply ignored them. Some would be indignant and ask why I was interrogating them and refused to answer... because they couldn't. It is a complete rip off for men. However, if I had been a genuione woman, I was inundated on my fake female profile with local men wanting to meet up... so it works for the women but just empties the wallets of the guys who join and upgrade to gold... Avoid it.
