Hmmm .

Lol! Wow.

People talk here. People start to like you. You help them out. They show gratitude by writing something to express their thankfulness to you.

Nice thing when a testimony comes from their heart. Its like a gift to you.

I would not base anything on them other than they are a nice gesture.

There are a lot of features on this site for every member to utilize or not.

What anyone else, as another member wants to utilize or not, doesn't affect my own personal experience. It's a choice, it's other people's choice to make blanket judgments or extrapolate about individual they have no experience with or knowledge of.

I know who's a part of my life and who I care about and they know the same. What anybody else thinks or judges, it doesn't have value to me.

The value of a testimonial to me and that person, that's what matters. It's a personal thing, so just because it's there, it doesn't matter who reads it. So those that choose to utilize, and I do too, it's not a factor in trying to attract or hook in someone at all.

I only and can only speak for myself, so it is a turnoff..it doesn't affect me. My friends are genuine and sincere, so to delete heart felt feelings and words so that someone I don't know may consider not having them more of an attraction factor.........not gonna happen.

I like to form my own judgements. Testimonials don't sway me.

Same goes for me.

You could have three of your friends talk about how great you are, but if we were ever to meet, I could see you completely different than what your friends/colleagues tried to make you sound like.

I personally don't take any stock in them.

When the favorites were on the profiles, I did not care how many favorites were there, I ignored friends who wrote about what a great catch they are. What I don't like.............and still don't, it to find a great profile and photo and at the bottom is a testimonial from some gal gushing about how wonderful he is, what a wonderful time they had when they went out and how she is looking forward to seeing him again.................and he is still looking?
