I've used it in the past. Have to agree with it being kinda pricey. They send you your "matches', you can't surf their site like yahoo or match.com
If you're not a member you can't see the matches profile picture, you can communicate with them through their "guided communication" process though. But once you have gone through all of the steps there, you still need to be a member to talk directly with them, so don't waste your time unless you're willing to be a member.
I did meet someone on there, we dated for 7 months but ended up breaking up, it was a long distance thing, should have known better.
Good luck if thats the way you want to go.
