I think the key is that someone else writes you up first. No-one ever has a realistic image of themselves and other people will get a much better idea of who you are. Obviously there's a social pressure to write something positive on your friend but even so a discerning reader can see when there's a positive spin being put on things and your friends are like you, so what they think is good about you will tell me quite a lot about the social group you're in. I've tried other sites and never really got anywhere whereas I met someone who I think may well be 'her' on mysinglefriend. You'll have to decide for yourself whether that says more about me or the site.
