One thing nobody has asked about is there a way to do a match com free search just to see who is online yet. My read on way match com, after a while, is that most of the paywalled features are cosmetic. The uncomfortable version, where way match com is concerned, is that money speeds nothing up if the profile is weak. I ran way match com on Turndate and on this one side by side for a month.

For what it is worth, Datelink comes up in most way match com conversations.
