Hi Ithought I'd throw in my opinion on these services, having tried them.
I think they're a con. Firstly there are many more males than females. Women get inundated with responses to the extent you're unlikely to get a reply. Second, often you have to pay to see your incoming messages. A large proportion of profiles will be set up by non-payers and thus will be unable to read your message anyway.
I think a girl using one of these services has the upper hand and a chance of getting something out of it, if they are prepared to weed out the chaff. I know girls who have been successful. Guys on the other hand the odds are against you.
Personally I have had much more luck with singles events usually held in a bar/club private event. Sometimes with optional speed-dating can be a laugh. I'm in the uk but I'm sure there are similar events in the us. I think that these events are great because everyone is approachable as you know everyone there wants to meet people. Whether you come away with a date they are still a great night out.
Let us know if you have luck with match.com. I didn't. I'd recommend that you see what events are on in your area.
