I have to say that after reviewing quite a number of dating sites, this is what I expected as far as customizing is concerned. I can select the kind if theme I want, however for this I need to be serious member. This means, the more I visit the plentyoffish site, I earn activity points which will help me to become a serious member at the 5000 activity point. It would seem the idea of ‘activity’ which was first introduced by the pioneering dating site Jumpdates.com has now been utilized by most dating sites.
