I think POF have more crazies from emails I received, but with my lack of interaction with people on OKC, the two I have met have definitely tipped the scale in favor of OKC....

For nuttiness? I can try...

Match.com: 45%
Plenty of Fish: 32%
eHarmony: 60%
Adult Friend Finder: 25%, people are too busy f**king to worry. :rofl

OKC: 85% :loco :laughing

POF < Match? Judging from my girlfriends on both, I'd say you're wrong. Half the psy-d girls I know are on POF. That should tell you something.

Match.com reeks of desperation.

Never been on one of thems sites.

One can argue both cases.

If you pay for dating site does that make you desperate?

Do you pay for a dating site so you can weed out the gnarlies that can't afford to pay one?

When I was on match.com I would laugh at the female profiles I would read that said "I'm currently not a paying member but you can find me by using my name and sending a not to g....mail" Or something like that. I figured they were cheap bastards and didnt bother. It's $60 for 3 months people, not exactly a huge expense.
 
My impressions of those are more:

Pof: "there are plenty fish in the sea, but these are the ones that were thrown back." (yes, stolen quote but good description)

OKC: Burning Man/Artsy Fartsy/ Hippy central...granted, there are a few that aren't, but that majority are

Match: Guessing a little more serious about meeting someone, since they are paying for it.

Eharmony: Started as a christian centric dating site and completely overpriced, though they are not as christian centric now.

According to Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla, She will be dating some form of construction worker, they will take complete advantage of her and her voice determines her age. hahahahaha :rofl:rofl
 
Match sucked. You have so many people who join but are too cheap to pay.

OKC is decent. I've had pretty good luck there and some fun dates.

Tried POF for a minute and did not like.

Haven't tried AFF or eHarmony.
 
Cootz- can you give us the sammich maker perspective of these online whazzamataz?

No need for AFF since you're already on FL.
 
I guess I've been doing it all wrong by posting my personals ads in the London Review of Books classifieds section

Context:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/24/london-review-books-personal-ads

Examples:

I celebrated my fortieth birthday last week by cataloguing my collection of bird feeders. Next year I'm hoping for sexual intercourse. And a cake. Join my invite mailing list at box no. 6831. Man

If intense, post-fight sex scares you, I'm not the woman for you (amateur big-boned cage wrestler, 62). Box no. 8744.

My last seven adverts in this column were influenced by the early catalogue of Krautrock band, Paternoster. This one, however, is based entirely around the work of Gil Scott-Heron. Man, 32. Possibly the last person you want to be stood next to at a house-party you've been dragged along to by a friend who wants to get off with the flatmate of the guy whose birthday it is. Hey! Have you ever heard Boards of Canada? They're amazing; I'll burn you a CD. Box no. 3178.

Meet the new face of indoor bowling! More or less the same as the old face, but less facial hair and better teeth. M, 28. Box no. 3377.

The celebrity I resemble the most is Potsie from Happy Days. What feels so right can't be wrong. Man, 46. Box no. 2480.

Mentally, I'm a size eight. Compulsive-eating F, 52, WLTM man to 25 for whom the phrase 'beauty is only skin-deep' is both a lifestyle choice and a religious ethos. Box no. 5115.

I vacillate wildly between a number of archetypes including, but not limited to, Muriel Spark witticism-trading doyenne, Mariella Frostrup charismatic socialite, brooding, intense Marianne Faithful visionary, and kleptomaniac Germaine Greer amateur upholsterer and ladies' league darts champion. Woman, 43. Everything I just said was a lie. Apart from the bit about darts. And kleptomania. Great tits though. Box no. 2236.

Philanthropy is my middle name. It's just a name though so don't be expecting any free rides. You can call me Mr Wallace. My first name is none of your business. Applications to box no. 9741.
