:mad Match.com WTF? - I need alternatives for my DATING traffic, FAST!

So for about two years now I have been sending high quality "raw type-in domain traffic" to Match.com, ..all is well and signups are great! I get an e-mail a few weeks ago informing me that match.com is now switching to The Link Share Network to run their affiliate program. So I think to myself, not smart, but oh well ..lets get signed up to Link Share. After jumping through all the hoops at Link Share, I'm finally signed up and ready to go. I then try to activate an account with Match.com, and ...I get fucking rejected? Apparently Link Share does not accept raw traffic off of my domain names. I'm talking about ..LasVegasSingles.com, RenoSingles.com and a host of others. WTF?

------------------
We regret to inform you that your application to the Match.com Affiliate program was not accepted. Your web site did not appear to be an appropriate fit for Match.com due to one of the following reasons:
* Content of web site irrelevant to Match.com user base
* Web site did not appear to have consumer appeal
* Not compliant with our policies towards search marketing and copyrights
* Inappropriate material or images on site
-------------------

I write back (to Link Share) to explain, and they send me back another "canned" response. So fuck it, I'm not going to waste any more time playing their game. Match.com, ..you loose.

Anyone have any other good recommendations as to where I can send this traffic besides AFF? I have enough traffic already going there..

Spam away..
