    R149 a month. Crazy. For that price you can buy flowers from your local florist once a month.

    Not going to work. DatingBuzz and their dozens of affiliates own this market in SA.

    If multiple people are interested in the same person, would you have to bid?

    Rather: What prevents the site owners from putting up fake profiles and then have multitudes of men buying credits for virtual gifts to send to these "women" whom then never respond.

    It's BS - Why the fsck would a woman want virtual gifts?

    I have never, in the history of the universe, had more dislike for a person as I do this guy. What a stupid hair-brained idea this is. Why anybody older than 18 would want a virtual gift is beyond my comprehension. Also, if its free for women do gays pay? Or who decides if you're woman enough to pay? Does this dimwit even vaguely understand the implications of his gender stereotyping? Some one shoot him in the face.
    No one gives an [expletive]... unless you can describe your problem effectively.

    So if you subscribe for a month, you get 5 credits and that's only enough to send 1 rose? Or am I misunderstanding?

    Edit: I was misunderstanding.

    Do you want to be right, or do you want to make money?

    This guy may irritate a lot of people, but do you doubt that
    he will get customers? Especially when it goes international?

    There's a sucker born every minute.
    Exchange unprofitable religious speculations for actual God-contact; let in the fresh, healing waters of direct perception.
