Signing up now. So far the interface is clean and easy to use. I have no clue if there are any hot girls on here yet though. Will report back with my initial findings. I'm curious to see how this will stack up against OK Cupid, where I met little but cautious hipster emo girls whose photos came from webcams and off bathroom mirrors. Match.com, on the other hand, is all blonde young professionals dressed in black. Their photos all have meat head guys cropped out of them, with just enough arm left in there to show you that they can get a guy like that.

You were able to sign in? I tried signing up for an account, did not receive any ACK of its creation in my email, and it will not let me sign in. Maybe they're still putting it all together, but the design sucks. No login, no browsing, no fun.

Update: I started running searches. Search #1: Women, 24-28 within 30 miles of Chicago's main zip code. EPIC FAIL. Results: 18 profiles. 9 without photos. 9 with photos. None that I wanted to click on. Search #2: Women ages 20-30 within 30 miles of Chicago's main zipcode. SMALLER FAIL Results: 45 profiles. 15 without photos. Five that I've clicked on to learn more about. Of those five, one has no info and only a stock shot. That means it's either an early adopter guy testing it out or a Nigerian scammer in my book. Three aren't that interesting upon further look and the other one is gorgeous and seems interesting but is also about 4 years older than me. Not sure what I'll do on that front. Not impressed.

  It's official, a brand new dating site doesn't have many profiles.

    I don't see why we should let them off the hook for that. Match.com has an enormous userbase. Surely they could have spread the word somehow through various means to provide me with more than 18 search results throughout the entire city of Chicago.

      Maybe that's what they did? This wasn't an official announcement. The POF guy obviously watches this space really closely, it's not too hard to believe he found out about it while they were still in seeding mode.
