I know many of us here have issues with the amount of unpaid members we get sent daily and the amount of incomplete profiles and I am getting more and more frustrated with this as each day goes by. Here is a sample of one I match I just received, which is not all that different from a lot of matches I receive.

Seriously, EH, is this what I get for my hard earned money???

Hey, if I have to get delivered unpaid Matches, this is the kind of unpaid Match I like.

There is no question they were a hit-and-run signup, (probably once they saw they couldn't see any Photos without paying), so you don't have to waste any time wondering if you should contact them, or why they aren't responding.

Its the well-filled-out unpaid member Profile that you need to get mad at. Those you simply never know about.

Yeah, I know but I am SO tired of my inbox or whatever getting filled with this kind of junk I have to weed through.

I had a match that in the question about the one thing being most passionate about...

He answered "sex"

What a turn-off and gross out. I closed him immediately based on statements in the profile...
Look I like sex as much as the next person but that was a bit much.

^^ Funny. I was recently matched with a guy looking for a woman who had no insecurities and would agree to participate in a polyamorous relationship.

Whatever.

I just closed a new match because the person he listed as having the most influence in his life as his ex girlfriend he went on and on about her. If she was that great why is he here and not with her. Hellllooo? Get real folks!!

I had a match who said that the most influential person in his life was his daughter's best friend, because she had taught him so very much about life....

Could not hit that "close" button fast enough.
