Back in my single days, I did the online dating thing.
Once I figured out the "formula", pretty much every woman I met in person was at least nice.
I finally ended up re-connecting online with a woman from my past and we got married.
I found the most sincere women were on match.com, a few on yahoo personals, and I had the worst luck with Plenty of Fish (POF) as they seemed to be mostly game players.
eHarmony was also a total waste of time.
My formula was simple.
Start out doing a few emails to see if you have anything in common.
Then if you feel you do, then talk on the phone and get better acquainted.
If after talking on the phone some you'll soon get a feeling if you "click" to any degree.
If you then feel like a personal meeting is in order, meet in a public place for a coffee, drink, dinner, etc.
Since you're already acquainted some, meeting in person will usually always go well.
It did for me, and I only met 2 weird ones in 3 years and had a lot of fun.
Also, I found that profiles without pictures were often a sign of somebody not wanting people to know they were on there for some reason.
Which typically meant they were seeing somebody else, or married, or hiding something, etc.
