What's the point?

I recently made an account and tried to meet women. Since there is absolutely no way to make contact without paying, how do you justify saying this is a free? I get that you say 'free to sign up', but the implications are for a free dating site, but in truth it's just false advertising. If I am wrong about how to make contact with these ladies via your site for free, I would very much appreciate knowing how.
Thank you,
Gerald

Pros
Lots of women actually send messages and try to make contact.

Cons
Cannot read messages received, and cannot send messages. Cannot see profile pictures without paying for higher service.
