I just took a quick look at Match for the hell of it and first profile I click on is a guy labeling himself "Athletic and toned" and he's clearly fat. Yeah, no thanks Match... if I'm going to get people misrepresenting themselves, I'm not going to pay for it.
Look, I'm not homely. Dudes of all walks of life in Atlanta and So/NorCal were into my look/appearance. They said as much. For whatever reasons. The bulk of those messages, namely on PoF, were gibberish, and I did get a sht-ton of messages when "new," which is why I made my profile invisible on multiple occasions. I preferred the freedom to browse profiles and message the kind of men that piqued my curiosity. I would unhide my profile every so often. But the vast majority of even attractive women do not maintain 50s+/day after that new period. One of my super hot girl friends, like crazy model gorgeous, naturally so, was the type to get these sort of messages. I can definitely see her getting 100+ on places like PoF. But most women? Nah.
Those are interesting statistics. Considering all the messages women get I can understand the "just ask" and almost-no-profile stuff. I'm surprised with that kind of competition that OLD works at all for me, but I'm one of those men who spends the time to write nice messages. I pretty much contact only women who have profiles that show they have compatible interests. Appearance is important but the profile is probably more important to me. Actually I think appearance is go/no-go for me and the profile decides me on whether to send a message.
100 messages a day can't be that much fun if most of them are lame.
eharmony: Like Match.com but costs more and has a lot more questions to answer but does not allow you to do your own search.
You can search on eHarmony. It's the "What if?" tab, where they show you near matches. You just keep clicking "next profile."

OurTime is rather cheesy in all their lame extra-cost offers (like message receipts, and you can pay to see another member's matches), but OurTime's problems are easily worked around.
"Honey I swear I'm just checking this site out for research purposes!" lol
Ummmm.... are you rehearsing?
If you're married and you just HAVE to get on a dating site to "explore your options", please indicate in your profile that you're MARRIED! Or, do not put a picture up - many of us women assume a guy is married if he has no picture. As a single person, it's annoying having to wade through married people on a dating site.
I have a profile on Match still, just not active, so I think they will allow me to browse for free.
You can browse and receive matches, but you can't send messages with free accounts except during occasional "free message" advertising campaigns.

Yep, one bad profile proves the site is worthless.

I don't think that's any worse on Match than anywhere else. At least he published a pic that let you see his actual body type. I don't engage with anyone who doesn't have a picture, or has only one that doesn't clearly show his build. He doesn't need to be perfect; teddy-bear shaped is OK even though I'm thin, but obese is not. My first two dates were pretty much as they represented themselves in their Profiles; we'll see how the new guy tomorrow works out.
Maybe it's my age (65) but I'm not getting 100+ hits per day, just a steady stream of guys I might consider, plus some clear outliers (several states away, 30 years younger, guys my age but looking for women ages 45-58, the poor 85-year old guy who's legally separated and described himself in his profile as "Lonely").
I prefer to supply details because there are things I'm looking for and factors that might be knockout factors for the guys: I'm a liberal Christian who would prefer another Christian, "travel" is something more than going to the Ozarks on a Harley, I'm very active, if you like well-endowed women look elsewhere, etc.
