What do you know about the Lava Life site? Is it any good?

I have been on both match and lava and see the same people. So all I can say is, it's just as good as match.

My male buddy is on lava only and likes it.

Try it and see.

I think that any site totally depends on the #s of people that are using it. After all, that's what you're doing OLD for- to meet people, right? Well, the more you meet, the better your odds are of meeting a keeper.

The easiest way to figure it out is to go to each of the sites and do a search for a given set of criteria- the age, gender, distance that you're interested in. Count how many results you get.

I think it completely depends on your location. I definitely didn't see the same people on match & lavalife.

I met a few people through LL....none of them panned out, but none of them were 'bad' meet-ups either.

If I were you, I would avoid Lava Life (or LowLife, as I call it) like the plague. Too many scary individuals. And I have seen alot of guys on Match also on LowLife. Too many married men on Lavalife who try to pass themselves off as single.

I'm taking a break from OLD. Too many of the same old faces, same old liars, and same old B.S.

I feel the need to give a different POV.

I've not met anyone on Lavalife who fits into the categories that debvt36 puts forth. I think it truly depends on your location, what you're seeking, how you portray yourself, etc.

For all the people who constantly talk about married guys, abject liars, etc. I have to say I'm either really lucky or just a stellar screener because I haven't run into too many of them. Thus far, the decent people (though maybe not a match for me) far outweight the complete losers I've encountered.
