Nobody seems to have mentioned this...
Most of these sites work on the basis that it is free to register but you have to pay to send mail (fair enough) but also to read received mail. Usually there is no way for the sender to know if the recipient is actually capable of reading the message (by being paid up).
Thus, a large portion of sent mails won't actually be read because the recipient can't read them.
I've often thought they should allow reading messages for free as it would encourage a sign-up so a reply could be sent. If a honey sent me a mail and I wanted to reply I'd probably pay up.
That coupled with the high ration fo guys to girls makes this game very hard...
