Well I thought this sounded like a great idea....5 months later about 2 e-mails responded to and not one date....a lot of wasted time,
Pros:
Looks like a great idea.
Cons:
No one responds. No dates and hardly any messages.

Review:
Everything Brenda Barr wrote (above) is true. Terrible, non-existent "customer service." They don't respond to problems or requests for refunds in a timely manner; as a matter of fact, I believe they intentionally took their time in responding so as to make sure I was beyond the period they state wherein I was eligible for a refund (which, by the way, is only like a 2-day period after signing up -- impossible to know whether it's a good service in such a time).
I will also be contacting the NY Attorney General about this scam called "How About We." More like "How About We" figured out a way to take people's money on a recurring basis without providing anything of value in return.
Pros:
Can't think of any.
Cons:
They're unethical in their business practices. Period. Save your money!

Review:
After seeing the "try it out and if you don't get a date...money back guaranteed". Well, I checked it out (and by all means I'm an athletic, average height guy) who just moved into the area, so I figured to give it a try to meet some attractive single chicks in the area. Well, I did message back n forth with a few ladies but nothing really came to it.
I honestly love the idea and concept, it's great...it just seems that they haven't marketed their self well enough to be known. I'm in a good size city and all, and didn't find much results or it could be that not enough girls actually bothered paying to communicate back- which I think is an issue.
What I really think they should do is implement a system in which you can pay for a higher level membership, such as a premium...to attract more dates by allowing others (even non paid members) to contact you as currently, all members pay one fee in order to message others. This will eliminate competition and focus on the more serious ones who want to take a real date offline.
Overall, I think it's a work in progress, but i would definitely recommend checking out the site. You'll never know what you'll run into. Again, great idea...support was great (they had no problem refunding my money and even refunded the auto-renewal amount) and the profiles seem to be pretty legit, so expect to be dealing with real people.
Pros:
-Cool concept, intuitive system
-Real Profiles
-Great Support
Cons:
-Not marketable enough to the larger crowd- people don't know much about the site resulting in a fewer results than bigger dating sites

Review:
I signed up for a membership in January after seeing it on the national news. Same faces, no one new. Same old online dating. The worst part is that I canceled my membership and they still charged my account. 3 e-mails and all I get is an automated response. I have e-mailed NBC news and now will e-mail the Attorney General of NY. There is no physical address or phone number to actually contact someone.
Cons:
Don't waste your time. The one man I met, smelled like he hadn't bathed in a week.

Review:
Howaboutwe.com is a nice idea, but so far, of 14 people that I've contacted, only 2 have even been able to read my messages. It's a lot of the same faces, over and over, and not a very good match potential when a date is on the horizon.
Overall, it's simply not worth the money.
