I never heard of a WTF report; that must be something new on OKC (or at least new in the last 2-1/2 years since I was last on it). Just curious, though: Do you have a full-body shot in your profile and/or do you say in your profile "what size of large" you are? I did, and I found that doing so and telling people I was "horizontally gifted" had the effect of not getting my profile very many responses, but that was exactly what I wanted -- I didn't want to waste my time with someone who had a bone up his ass about weight. I got ONE serious response. And that was all I needed. But I might have gotten extraordinarily lucky, I admit. (About damn time I did, too. If it makes you feel any better, I was 41 when I met him.)

Despite CL's reputation, it doesn't take very long to learn how to filter the ads such that you find folks you might actually like being around.

This sounds like something all people should come with, stamped on their foreheads. Getting the dealbreakers out there up front should save a heap of time and energy. "Openness to my marital situation"? Brrr. Just Googled up “WTF report”. This sounds like something all people should come with, stamped on their foreheads.
