This whole paid versus unpaid thing is moot. You can use Match.com without paying, you can use OKC without paying, and both of those have paid subscription services too.
As far as the sexual messages go, I am surprised to hear women who don't get them, as OKC has just changed its messaging system specifically because women had to deal with this so much. Every woman I know IRL who has used online dating has had to deal with this too.
Most of my profile pics are selfies, except for a couple of full body shots, just to show what I look like, but they are in no way sexy pics, no cleavage or anything, no bikini wear, etc. The one full length shot is from a work event in which I'm wearing a very conservative full-length dress.
Like I said, it's pretty much the nature of the beast. It doesn't make it any less frustrating.
