Dating sites tips.

We've been using SLS and AdultFriendFinder. So many questions:

We have not come up with a good way to keep all of our contacts organized. Any pro-tips from the community?

Is there a way to "certify" another user on AdultFriendFinder, like you do on SLS? The certs don't really mean anything to us, but they seem important to the community.

On AdultFriendFinder when we message someone the message doesn't always show up on the Messages page. Specifically, when someone flirts or views our profile and then we're the first to send a message, a confirmation message shows at the bottom of the page when the message is sent but the message doesn't show on our Messages page until a reply comes. Are messages sent somewhere other than the Messages page?

Any recommendations for the best dating sites for our area? We're in Arizona.

Take a look at SDC.  It is popular in Florida.

We are long time users of AFF, because there are not a lot of options where we live!  First thing I will say is that site works like crap most of the time and the chat feature is terrible and in usable.  The only reason we still use it is, because we have had a free membership for years now.  They keep giving it to us so we stay on there.  
 

There is an area you can write testimonials which is like a cert for people you have meet and had a good time with, but we find many people don’t use it including us.  
 

We find the best way to find people you are actually interested in meeting on there is to have lots of good pictures of both of you and a well written very clear profile of what you are looking for and not looking for.  Yes many people don’t bother reading it, but it helps weed them out if they clearly don’t bother to take the time to see if you are compatible.  We waste no time on people that put no effort into their profiles.  Posers.
