You just ruined the morning of several GFY readers... ;)

On a more serious note, I know people who have found dates through sites like alt.com, POF, and AshleyMadison. Those same people tried those sites because eharmony and okcupid had failed them. I also know gay sites like adam4adam are wildly successful at generating real dates with 'local hotties' if you are interested in finding a man. So, I'd agree some of the claims made are overstated, but I wouldn't say these sites are all completely ineffective. I'd also suggest their inability to protect user data is a different (and bigger problem) than the fact that many seem to overstate their success rate for new users.
