Shoot! I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now!! I guess it had something to do with my house being without water for five days while this discussion was happening! I'm sure you have your answers already but here goes . . .

Posting pics online is a good idea because most men have been burned on phone systems. As we know from posting here, men are visual creatures They want to know what we look like before they e-mail, PM, IM, whatever. You can purchase time through reputable companies like mine for $14.99 and that'll give you loads of credits to use. You won't even need to purchase credits, though. As someone mentioned, the person who initiates the message pays. Women who post are pretty much guaranteed responses.

Honestly, I've had to go on my companies system and post profiles to learn about it and the responses I get are overwhelming! I wish I had enough single friends to hook up with the guys I hear from.

My company deletes negative profiles. Talk about all the positive things you have going for you. Seriously. People call into my system and say, "why'd you delete my profile?"

"Well sir," I'll reply. "You stated you didn't want black women, single mothers, anyone five pounds overweight, etc."

We're doing it for their own good, in a way.

My ex-husband actually uses the system for which I work. He said the worst thing about it was when he met people for coffee, they'd unload EVERY problem onto him. He said he understands that everyone has baggage but shit, he doesn't want to hear it on the first date!

The people who use these systems are usually busy professionals who don't like the bar scene. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

It's my Friday night and I'm talking about work!
