...Quite high for a dating website, I thought.
Discuss.
Ah but BM isn't only a dating site, for those who don't know, BM is also a social site for folk who love bikes/trikes who want to meet up and make friends, not just have dates.
A lot of on-line clubs don't meet in real-time, they communicate on line, at BM most of the members make an effort to get out there and meet other members, and many friendships have been formed as a result.

...can one have "karma" (whatever that may be!) removed?? and therefore deducted from the top 20?? i just find it a little puerile
As for the Karma rating, Matt once said he will never remove it, I asked if I could disable mine cos I think it just makes some people more competitive. There is no way, at this moment in time, to disable it let alone remove it so we'll just have to ignore it, like I ignore the nod cos I see no point to that on here.
To find out what Karma is, on here, click on the karma bar, under your photo, and it will open a new page explaining it.
Hehe, that makes me well above average for once in my life
the karma thing annoys me at times too. you get more for being online every day??? well I can't get online when I'm at work and sometimes I have a life to lead as well outside BM ( shock, horror! did I really say that??! )
Anyway, it makes no difference to me how old people are, everyone I've met has just got along perfectly well and age - unless you're after a date/partner (and even sometimes then) is irrelevant
thanks for info re karma being impossible to remove sandi - i do ignore it (was only others pointing it out to me that made me notice), and someone even asked me if i was "playing" the karma "system" - pretty hard to when you a) dont know know what it is, and b) care even less!!
i, too, work and have a life so certainly not on here all day every day!!
pretty small minded of matt not too allow "opting out" - maybe he just doesnt know how to and wont admit it??!! hahahaxxx
There are plenty of younger ones on here, but lots do use it as a dating site,
I think (certainly from my point of view) the top 20's are mainly using it as a social site, I for example speak to and arrange rides/days out with friends I have made from all over, those who use for dating 1st & social 2nd, I have noticed don't use the forums so much or the chat room, and many don't want to, so like to chat in a less intimidating (for them) way.
When you look at not the number of members (as we all know there are many who do not come on) but the number of active members both standard & full, I would lay monies on it that its a very small number who are using forums & chat.
Karma is supposed to be a secret but I've already established that if I don't log off my phone when I've browsed the site, my karma rises on average by 2% a day.
Hence I can be deeply unpopular but my karma keeps on rising baby!
Anyway, I got the impression BM was way more than a dating site? :)
