There is no point in free membership as you can't contact people. There is little point in paid membership because of too many fakes. If you have extra money for dating - http://Seek4Her.com is way better, because somehow they don't let scammers in and they have gathered the most beautiful girls in the world at one place. I understandwhat I'm paying for there. When I purchased paid membership on Match I discovered that pretty much all my matches were either fake, or outdated, or not interested in me. Match has taken to misleading their customers. In fact they don't have many real members and nothing is free there.
