BTW I don't know pof.com - is it a "serious" site, or more for hook-ups? The "big three" sites at the moment appear to be chemistry.com, match.com, and harmony.com, though I must stress my knowledge is entirely confined to an awareness of their TV ads.

Nearly all of the dating sites are owned by only a couple of different companies

The one Mrs P and I used was one of a portfolio of seven "theme" sites under common ownership, IIRC. The then future Mrs P did experience one disturbing approach that had bled through from one of the other sites.

I had a go on eHarmony.com once and after filling out all the questions (which takes forever ), it said I wasn't the type of person they could help. Nice

Re: The likelihood of actually being granted a Visa

Trying to meet someone online in another country seems a bit risky to me. America's a long way to come to meet the Mila Kunis lookalike you were expecting, only to be greeted off the plane by Ten Ton Tesse!
