I joined the free membership a long time ago just to see what it was, but I was already hesitant enough about it that I didn't bother getting a paid membership. I'm sure I still have a profile floating around there somewhere, but I'm not sure. I do know two other people that were actually told, similar to the way you were, that there was very little chance they could find someone for them and to save their money. I have no idea what it was about these people that got them denied. And they're not at all from the same circle of friends that you and I are part of, so the reasons must be completely different. At least they're honest.
Also, I really like younger men. And I don't think I would have anything in common with someone 20 years older than me!
I feel really bad for my best friend (I'm not sure if you know him). He's gay and has been using online dating services for a number of years. He says that Manhunt is mostly people looking for casual sex . He's been on okc for a number of years too, but is plagued by all the 23 year olds or people just looking for something casual. He's 33, an engineer, very cute, owns his own house (one street from you, actually) and is looking for someone to settle down with and get married. He's not into casual sex at all. I feel really bad that the dating sites for gay men don't seem to cater at all to what he's looking for. I almost want to tell him about Compatible Partners, but I feel like maybe it would be insulting to him because of the reasons you stated. :-/
