I say go for it! BUT I think you should put up a pic. I personally don't chat/email someone if I can't see a pic. I think it's only fair. As far as meeting people, that's a good posibility, but just be yourself. I met a great guy here, we went out for a nice dinner got along really well. We met again another time for drinks. We really enjoyed eachothers company. Being straight forward is key! We let eachother know that we are very busy people. We knew from the start that we don't have a lot of time to date. We let eachother know what we were looking for. (friendship & someone we can hang out with from time to time) Not a relationship. I personally don't have time for boyfriend, so I let it be known upfront. He did as well. It was great! We talk, txt, email from time to time. I'm really glad we met & had some fun....Good Luck!

I would suggest taking a look around in the threads... there is one called "JSH success stories" there is a "magic" thread, there is a "matchmaking thread" and in general success stories are found in many, many areas in here.

But to answer your question, YES. It does.
