'New' OLD Site

Well, that title looked odd. lol

It's an OLD site that I saw a link for- www.fitness-singles.com and for you active ones (West!) I wonder if you've ever heard of it before, or checked it out?

I couldn't surf the site without creaing a profile (which felt TOTALLY weird to me, since I am SOOOO not looking!!!) but I was curious what the site was like before posting something here. I found the link through a banner ad on one of my blog sites' map counter things. It caught my eye because the title of the ad was "Find yourself a Hiker" or something like that. LOL I remember thinking "I *have* myself a Hiker!" and the link was for fitness-singles.com and supposedly for fitness-freaks (lol) to find partners who are also fitness freaks.

I'm not sure how long that site has been around, but when I signed up, it didn't generate too many in my area. But my area isn't a large metroplex by any means. Plus, I don't think it's a very well-known site, so that would decrease the pool of people. But you never know... all it takes is that ONE person who fits, right?

One thing I do like about how they do their profiles- is that you can't proceed without answering each question with SOMETHING- so there isn't any of those blank profile things to see. Although I know anyone can just click anything or lie- but at least with this site, you're not looking at blank spaces in the profiles when you surf.

But again- I'm not really poking around in it too much, since I am NOT looking, and didn't want to generate any emailings or anything from it. It's just that you can't even look without making a profile first.

Thanks, Shrimps. I have checked out that site, too. There are not a lot of guys in my area and many are the same as on match.com - I do check it out from time to time.
