These leads are not spammed by the way as well.

In my eyes in both situations there is an email lead of person who wants to date online. There is no 20 or 30 times(!!!) lead value difference, simply can not be...
Like If I send email lead to any sponsor I get 3$, but if I try to sell simillar unspammed lead from my dating site its worth only 0.17$. How come? Ok I would undesratnd 2 times, 3 times difference in value. But 20 times?

Can someone from dating companies step up and answer this question?

Volume and trust factor come into mind.

With 3000 members, it's likely that your site is fairly new or obviously fairly small. With a new site or a small site, you're not going to have member loyalty. How many of those people login regularly? And are they actually finding what they are looking for? Perhaps if it is a local site.

Now if you have 3000 members that are very specific to a certain demographic, they correspond with each other, and they trust you as a site operator... you have some nice value there and could make some decent money from it. As of right now, you are more than likely just another dating site operator amongst a sea of thousands.
