Suffers from lack of people

Shame, because at the basic (i.e. free) level of membership, the website is actually useful in that you can do a basic search and also read and send messages. Your profile gives you plenty of opportunity to describe yourself and what you're looking for and any photos you upload appear instantly - instead of having to wait for them to be approved, the site relies on its members reporting inappropriate/offensive content which in my book is a good thing. The multi-choice questions are OK, although they could do with thinning out as some are utterly inane. The site gets bonus points for allowing you to pay for upgrades via PayPal (although in the end I never bothered) as I won't even consider using a dating site that won't let me pay via a third party company where I have full control over what payments go out. Finally, I was never bothered by spammers so it appears the site's owners have got that issue sorted out as well. The only problem I found was the lack of potential dates (and I'm not THAT choosy!) that were actively using the site, and as I included Nottingham and Sheffield in my searches we're not exactly talking about being out in the boondocks here. That said, your mileage may well vary from mine and because it's pretty nicely designed and fairly useful without laying any cash down, I can't say anything other than I suggest you at least give it a go.
