I liked POF and met a few nice men. Some were wonderful but some were total asses. They say POF and EVOW is like a box of chocolates. a few nuts are mixed in. I prefer POF, since it's totally free. With EVOW, I receive messages from all across the country and doubt the validity of half since if you want to read the messages they want you to pay for the site. You also have to pay to block men. I found this a problem. One man after several unanswered messages, I said please stop messaging, He cursed me out and called me terrible names. It continued for days and EVOW would not take his profile down or let me block him. I am a Christian and was quite upset. Some of the men want to just plain do a hookup but I have had some more serious. I did get quite a few weirdo's that want a relationship. They are a bit different. Like mama said...It's a box of chocolates. Best of luck to you .
