Yahoo personals will only allow paying members to have a dialog with other paying members, but not with the thousands of non-paying members who have profiles on their site.
If you see a profile you like, but the member only has a free profile, you can message them but yahoo will delete any contact info you include in your message. The only way that person can respond to you is if they buy a membership.
Most people will not do this so you just think the person is not interested. Yahoo uses the thousands of non-paying members as shills to make the site look more popular than it is.

Yahoo Personals just stole $90 from my account and will not refund my money. Do not give them your credit card information, they will take advantage of it. The $90 was for a renewal of a 6 month subscription. I signed up 6 months ago. The site was not that good, I met someone on another site shortly after and eventually canceled all my other profiles. Now 6 months later I get a charge on my visa for another $90.
I asked for refund and they say they will only refund if I contact them within 3 days of the billing. This is fraudulent as far as I am concerned.

It’s worthless you can’t communicate beyond stupid "smiley" type messages or one-liners that don’t say anything. Most of the profiles you’ll see are other free members whom you can’t say anything of substance unless they pony up and give Yahoo money. You’re better off on a real free site or trying some dating forums for cripes sake.
I’m sure some of the profiles on there are Yahoo made to promote their site. Several members were on the site for almost a year or so and somehow had not met anyone, and yeah I buy that.

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.

January 21st, 2007 at 04:12 AMI tried to sign up and it was disasterous. Their signup program had bugs in it, but not buggy to keep my credit card info. Every month they charge me for services I can't get into. Their customer service is elusive, too. When I finally got them, they apologized and promptly refunded me. However the next month they were back on my credit statement again.
Once again I contacted them once again they apologized and removed it. They did this a few more times. A quick search on the web and I discovered numerous complaints about their billing. They are uunder the atty generals scrutiny now. Buyer beware. I had to cancel my credit card.
