Somewhat surprised this site's ratings are as high as they are considering the above.

I don't get why so many bad ratings, this is supposed to be a legitimate dating site. Ok, they request payment to use it, but that's about the worst that can be said about it. Also I'm not sure why so bad ratings for Child Safety, children don't have anything to do at a dating site! Should we give bad ratings to any adult-themed site?
