Features & Extras
One and Only is a general dating site.
Free services include detailed profile and photo, email contact on new joins that match your wants and even a database search based on location, age, and physical characteristics. You can receive emails from others who get "turned on" by your ad and/or photo. The catch is you must upgrade to a paid membership to respond or make email contact with other members you like. All email contact is through their anonymous system, but comes to your registered email address. You go one-on-one outside their system only if, and when, one of you discloses your actual email address. Search criteria and profile information are weak.
No extensive data on what you or he are looking for is listed -- unless in narrative form. They do show how long it has been since a member has been active. Based on what the Dating Dude found in his search for gay men, there's a high volume of post-it-and-forget-it members. That means there's not many active prospects here. He says, "I did a search with wide-open age and a distance of 1000 miles from me, and got only nine who'd been at the site within the last two months. Take it even more extreme--search for age 20-70 matching any criteria in any city in California. What do you get? Only five guys with activity within the past two months. With those kinds of prospects, I think you'd better look somewhere else for your Mr. Right-now, later or forever. You'd have better odds taking a trip to the nearest big city and hitting the bars."
