    I don't understand why people don't want to meet out in the real world anymore where they can look somebody in the eye and know what they really are instead they want to try and meet people from behind a monitor where god knows who you could be talking to. People create all these fake profiles claiming to be somebody they are not or to look like they don't, way too much time sitting on asses these days. Let's get back to the for real world and out of cyber space it is killing the whole world to the point that people can't even smile and wave at one another anymore, be happy, never too good!

    @Ivan Today I checked to see who contacted me. I was sent to the link to pay and join the service, after trying to view whatever email was sent by 2 ladies. I called yahoo customer care after I notice that it also said I had no new email or views even though I received an email in my mailbox that said I had two. Further checking produces the emails from to younger ladies who's profiles i hadn't viewed. The yahoo person I was speaking too said "there was a link where members could view other member's profiles without being noted". Bottom line is if I had paid first neither of the photo the was shown as "we match" would have responded. Yahoo would have had another sucker to add to their profit margin. Yahoo this is not looking good. Computers follow instruction, but don't make their own decisions without being programmed.

    Not impressed at all. The set up of the site is actually good and well laid out and user friendly, but that's where it stops. The main problem is you can have a full profile for free and as a result there many inactive and or fake profiles.

    In addition, it is a magnet for Nigerian scammers with their fake profiles. I quickly became fed up being frequently contacted by fake profiles, which are usually easy to spot by their inconsistencies. You have to cancel your membership to actually stop the charges. They are actually very few real and active profiles, at least from women in 20's and 30's . A waste of time and money.

    Yahoo Personals though popular is very unproductive. Even though there are lots of members on the site, they are all not active or just don't use it any more. High number of members would give you the impression that it is a good service. In fact, high number of members is actually bad in this case.

    Before you signup and pay for the service be warned that:

    -Yahoo cancellation is a fraud
    -Yahoo steals your money by charging even after cancelling
    -Yahoo makes it difficult to cancel

    Searching the internet you would find many pages users complaining about their service especially about their cancellation and fraudulent charges. Previously you could only cancel by calling billing. Now, you can cancel online but only after finding the page to cancel the service. Users who are not internet savvy, would give up just trying to cancel.

    If you are already charged, dealing with their billing care is a hassle. They sound polite at first. But are very rude. They intentionally have a phone system that makes it difficult to hear even after asking them to raise the volume. Contacting Yahoo corporate is also a hassle. Yahoo! which was so popular with many has lost market share and now bogged down by low employee morale. You can sense it by just talking to anyone in the company. Try reaching their corporate office, the lack of standards is even evident from the way the operator talks to you.

    So, if you don't want to waste your time and money tread carefully. If you really want to check it out for yourself, take a test drive. You would more likely to come to the same conclusion as me.
