Site appears good and is easy enough to to navigate through. But, as highlighted by others is full to the brim with "gorgeous" scammers. As a man I shall put the spotlight on women, but of course I am well aware that those women may well be men mascarading as females.
There is clearly a lucrative industry in scammers taking residence on this site, as 85% of the women who responded to my profile all shared the exact hard luck stories of sick mum needing medical fees paid, landlords in hot pursuit of overdue rent, no job, no food etc. and of course I immediately am their nearest and dearest, their darling, and miraculously after a few exchanges of messages, I am their love saviour, and they are completely helplessly, hopelessly in love with me!!! Me, a man they have never met, never spoken to, or even know the surname of.
Some will play the game a little cleverer than others i.e they may prolong the time that a demand for money is made, but be assured, that money demand will rear its insatiable ugly head sooner or later.
My advice. Avoid this site like its diseased. Unless you actually enjoy the thrill of having hordes of fantasy women offering their fictional selves to you. And you never part with a single penny for whatever sugarcoated, tragic reason relayed to you. And with a bit of luck, the one who passes your own integrity test, will be worth developing a relationship with. But do not hold your breath....
Pros perhaps, just perhaps, you may meet someone worthy of your love. Be aware though, it will probably be more hastle than is worth it.
Cons your chances of finding a woman who is not a scammer are slim / negligible.
We have been on the site for a little over two months.
During that time we've had supposedly 180 people look at our ad. We have not received one contact nor have we received any replies back from our multiple requests. At first we thought it was because we were standard members. After spending two months as a Premier member and traveling to both Las Vegas in New York. We can say for sure these sites all fake. It's the same random people with the exact same distance from us.
Some of the photos you cannot help remember. The day we flew out of Milwaukee they were under 10 miles. In New York they were under 30. Yes we did change the ZIP Code and the app ass to use our current locations. . It's all a scam and they're just trying to get your money.
Join the site about three weeks ago, The first two weeks I was a standard member. Last week upgrade to premier. The last three days I sent out 180 messages seeing anyone at all would reply back
I figure the ass or with me that at least one person would respond email both males and females. I got two responses back total from New York. Both responses were looking for donations to spend time with them. I would not recommend this site to anyone
Follow-up to this email
Wife placed her own add
I have shagged her once and emailed her twice and she never got them.
Call credit card company and cancel payment
I tried to sign up to this site, being an attractive girl that is looking for a serious relationship I thought they would welcome me, but no, my profile was terminated within an hour, before I could even contact anyone. I even submitted my ID for verification, and a photo of myself, but apparently they don't allow real girls looking for a serious relationship on the site. I emailed support but no response. They should at least tell me why it was terminated since I see no reason. To keep my ID information without telling me why my profile was terminated should be illegal. I do not recommend this site.
so, I tried their 3 day trial period. just to see what it was like. wow, what an eye opener.
first, i don't think there's a single REAL profile on that site. if you google photos, you'll eventually find them on other dating sites, or on porn sistes for amateur members. as well, as soon as you create your account, you start getting e-mails. i had created mine, but left my profile and info blank for several days. yet I got several messages from women statnig they loved my profile, thought my photos were hot .when I didn't have any photos posted.
so, I figured it's only $8, so I tried the 3 day trial ..and only got 2 hours worth. seems they cancelled my membership after 2 hours of surfing. I've spoken to a half dozen (well, I think different operators but who knows ) operators about this issue. the only thing they keep telling me is "other web pages interfere with this sites, so you must delete cookies, cache, etc. then reboot 15 times while dancing a naked voodoo dance around your computer and praying to the Gods". the end result is they continually disconnect, ignoring the issue.
so, overall I would say this is one of those EXTREMELY bad scam sites. fake profiles, fake operators, no assistance and only interested in scamming your money.
This website is a scam! The women here just want you to spend money corresponding or chat or whatever. None of them want to meet in person. Some of them admitted that they had no intention of meeting. One of them told me that she did not want to leave Colombia. Another told me that she just wanted to meet friends.
Seriously? All of the websites by this company are like that Anastasia Date, Asia Date, etc.
I tried this web site as well as their other web sites LatamDate . They are all scams. They pay these women to write to you. Especially in Latin America. The women promise you everything, they are rich, they are sexual and they will come to the U.S. to visit. But all they are doing is trying to keep you spending money.
I did go to Kiev once to meet a girl. All she wanted was for me to buy her clothes. Then when I told her I was not interested and we parted ways. But then her agency called Love Story Donetsk tried to con me into buying her English lessons for $2,000. They tried to convince me it was her request.
Stay away if you are smart.
Pros None.
Cons You are going to waste your time and your money.
It is amazing. Russia Women is a good site. Meaning, THEY DO NOT PAY THE WOMEN!!!!
Amazing how that works. I guess the scam infested crap industry was making so much money for so long, they simply never planned for a year like this. They never made a backup plan that was a legitimate service.
Well, this site is awesome. It is one of the biggest honest sites. Of course women of all ages here. At Anastasiadate, Veronikalove, etc. you would be hard pressed to find women over 30. Over 3/4 of all profiles are under 30. Here is it the opposite, most profiles are women over 30, with children. . .you know like a normal site.
Pros Cheap $120 per year. You can spend that in two hours chatting at Veronikalove.
Large selection.
They don't pay their women, that helps to find honest women.
Great portfolios, you get to see non-professional photos of the women. You see them at work or at home. You see them with the children or on vacation. At Veronikalove, Anastasiadate, you see professional pics or pics from a model photoshoot. How did we ever fall for this crap!!!
Cons The needs a better design and more functionality. Adding chatting would be nice. It would help to combat scammers.
There are many scammers there. The women at the scam sites are starting to suffer. So they are migrating to some good sites to try to do post trip scams. BE CAREFUL. Check your woman thoroughly. Come to me at the Stupid American. I can help.
Hi, I'm one of the members of this site, and I can surely say that I'm satisfied with it. I can't believe that someone had problems with ladies on Veronikalove, maybe they were just unlucky or didn't meet their true love, as I personally managed to find my dearest half. And I didn't need to spend years here, just 3 months were enough, and actually later I found out that everything could have been done even faster, I just didn't read their FAQ properly. Besides, there is an option for leaving their site in a while after you fulfil some requirements, so I just got info of the woman I liked a lot and we continued to talk to her through e-mail and skype. Didn't notice any attempts to cheat on me actually.
Pros Lovely lonely ladies, convenient site, responsive online support, possibility to leave the site and continue communication with a woman in another convenient way.
Cons When a site had technical works, I didn't have the possibility to enter the chat, and once - to send letters, but usually this ended up within an hour and I always could get all needed information and explanations from online support.
Paid 6 month subscription. Two of many I tried to contact did responded at first, can not be reached after. I cancelled the subscription after one month, and been told no refund will be given.
they send you emails
ted has messaged you
try to read the then you have to
join,,
hthen they send you email saying 1o people are interested in..
when you look at the pictures it is people from 2 years
would never subscribe to this sight,,
keep your money
Pros couldn't find any
Cons pictures they bring up as new profiles but are old pics
says, free but until you join as a paid member you cannot
cannot contact any one
I was on the sight for years never met one person I d get an email or so,,
I came back to outpersonals found it was even worse
no one in my area ever online
not one email
chats were not fun no one chatted with me
would not recommend this sight to the devil himself
henry
Pros none for me
there is a lot of bling
nothing else
Cons no one emails
no one chats
no hookups
they say you will hookup
in 3 month
if you purchase which I have
they refunded my money
several years ago
an see the same guys online
doesn't change
Tried this koreancupid sometime ago, however all the ladies, be it fake or genuine ones, they all seem to target and specify only westerners accepted ... this disappoints us, the non-westerners seriously.
Pros At least i've tried engaging a real deal with a genuine lady and met her in person in korea during my annual overseas vacation. A pity she wasnt a person with much perseverance.
Cons Met a real korean lady in person, but the remaining ladies either were non-existent or only eyes for westerners, too bad for the non-westerners. I'm a Singaporean by the way, too disappointed.
I luckily never spent a penny on this site. Knew it was a scam when one of the people I got a flirt from had pictures of "her". They were the Hope Solo leaked pictures. And she lived in a small suburb near me. Only about 1000 miles from where Hope Solo lives.
I live in Canada & all female profile are fake or maybe are dead profile (they do not check their profiles) $50 is the minimum membership & you will get nothing.
After searching through a bunch of profiles, I thought no one would fit my needs "to a t". And thats when we found each other! Someone that compliments my qualities, and we LOVE having each other to chat with any time we want. We Skyped for the first time one month ago, and I feel like I've known him my whole life! We're going to our first bike rally together in three weeks!
You get what you put in with this site... You can't just sign up and immediately find a great match. It took me two and a half months to find my guy... Best thing I have ever done for myself!
Pros *Many profiles to search
*Variety of ages
*Every social level you can think of
*Constantly meeting new people
Terrible and Outdated website that's controlled by a narcissist. There are several other site's that do a way better job for free.
Pros -None
-Zero
-Zilch
-Nil
Cons -Difficult to delete your account (It took me a couple of months)
-All profile info requires approval (by one person)
-Minor violations sometimes result in a banned account without warning.
-Many people that are not the "Bear" type are denied an account.
-Many people that are not Caucasian are denied an account.
-The site is useless unless you pay, which is also useless because so little amount actually pay.
-Some members have reported that their images from Bear411 were found on BearPorn.com
-Website uses technology from 1995. It's very outdated.
-Lots of fake accounts, many include photo's stolen from the internet and it's speculated that the webmaster is behind it.
-Your conversations are being monitored.
I've been a member of AFF for 2 years now and am based in the UK. In my experience only about 1 in 5 members you will interact with will actually be serious about meeting.
I've met one lady locally and another from a different part of the country, If you are UK based and looking to have several different hook ups you probably have to be willing to travel. Although if you live in London you may find more people locally than if you live in the North East. I'm extremely large in the trouser department and that has put some potential meets up as it was too intimidating for them so perhaps my success rate is limited in that sense.
If you are decent looking, not overweight, can converse normally and don't have a micro sized cock you can potentially do pretty well on AFF. If you verify your profile and also get a testimonial early off the bat, then this will increase your chances.
Pros There are some genuine people looking to meet.
You can find people who are looking for adult casual encounters.
Cons Men really need to pay for a membership in order to make enough contact with women to close hook ups. Women can rely on a non paid membership and still get meets.
Most amazing to me is that they are pushing for mainstream status so badly, they are actually running TV ads. I have to hand it to whoever came up with
the Carousel, which makes the whole site basically a SCAM. Once member realize they get tangible, spendable "coins" as rewards for saying "YES, I want to meet this person", all bets are off. So John in NYC gets an email that "Mary wants to meet you!", only to find out that "Mary", if she even exists, lives is Mexico City. In the unlikely event that she's reasonable local and possibly a match, it's guaranteed that you won't get a reply from her - she's just collecting coins by spinning the roulette wheel!!!
Pros Not many. Paid membership, zero or nearly zero communications, zero dates. Better layout than some sites, but does it matter? Like a pretty car that won't start?
Cons Clever (not in a good way). 2 ways to take your money. First you pay and think you're a full member. Then they sell you "coins" to contact "good matches". But wait, you can get SOME coins by lying at the Carousel, saying you want to meet every member who comes up, collecting 40 coins a day. Or just send more money to Zoosk. AND to turn off auto-renew...well, you better start trying to figure out how months ahead of time, because no refunds once you've paid for a subscription. Despite signing up online, they TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST CALL THEM ON THE PHONE to cancel!!! This is so f'ked up it should be illegal. Just sayin...
Being an entrepreneur myself I signed up to this site a few days ago thinking it might be a good place to meet single ladies with similar interests.
It's free to sign up, but if you want to actually do anything other than look at profiles, you'll need to upgrade.
I started of with a search of profiles in my area and received over 1600 results, wow this sites bigger than I thought, how come I haven't heard of it before?
I soon figured out why.
Out of 1600 or so results, probably only 20 or so had been online in the last month, which means only about 20 have been recently active, the rest are simply archived results and not really worth anything.
And since only upgraded members would be able to even read any email that I send, then that means you would need to filter down the 20 to separate the upgraded members from the "I filled out the free online sign up in the last month" group.
Which would bring the results to just 3 or 4 at the most ( and that's being optimistic) .
And of all the profiles I looked at, I only found about 2 that have any indication on there profiles that they are entrepreneurs or interested in the subject.
When I signed up I made sure to sign up with minimal details of myself, no profile, no pics just basic specs like age, gender etc
Surprising though I have received an unusual amount of interest,. everyday I get a message from a different female that's interested in this no name, no pic guy.
Of course, if I want to read anything more than the opening line, I would have to whip out my credit card and upgrade my membership....
Now all these women seem to be older than me and quite average looking at best, which isn't what I would expect from fake profiles, I would expect younger, good looking ladies looking for a entrepreneur / business type guy.
But It's hard not to shake your head and think pfft, when they all start with cut and paste opening lines like.... "Hi there" and "let's have a laugh" the kind of generic cut and paste rubbish you would expect from fake profiles managed by outsourced freelancers from countries where English is the second language.
So my personal assessment of the site is that I think I'll keep my credit card safe and sound in my wallet.
Pros Didn't find any
Cons Very misleading about actual active profile numbers. Deceptive in trying to use fake profiles to get you to upgrade.
Very cool setup and content, you see lots of nude girls, sluts saying dirty things, constant flows of "to good to be true" woman that you would see one after another boom boom boom. I had a great profile, great pics that get me hit on alot in the outside. But after checking out profiles and sending message after message to DOZENS of chicks that were gettable and only supposedly living "10 to 30 miles away" from me....I got a bunch of VIEWED ME's but not one single damn word to even hint at a real person or real response. I feel dumb. $8 gone. Gay
Pros Hot chicks in nothing. Too beat off to...?
Cons Everything from the dicks who made it to the ID's they've probly stolen and messed up because of it.
Scammers central!
Review about AfroIntroductions.comSite appears good and is easy enough to to navigate through. But, as highlighted by others is full to the brim with "gorgeous" scammers. As a man I shall put the spotlight on women, but of course I am well aware that those women may well be men mascarading as females.
There is clearly a lucrative industry in scammers taking residence on this site, as 85% of the women who responded to my profile all shared the exact hard luck stories of sick mum needing medical fees paid, landlords in hot pursuit of overdue rent, no job, no food etc. and of course I immediately am their nearest and dearest, their darling, and miraculously after a few exchanges of messages, I am their love saviour, and they are completely helplessly, hopelessly in love with me!!! Me, a man they have never met, never spoken to, or even know the surname of.
Some will play the game a little cleverer than others i.e they may prolong the time that a demand for money is made, but be assured, that money demand will rear its insatiable ugly head sooner or later.
My advice. Avoid this site like its diseased. Unless you actually enjoy the thrill of having hordes of fantasy women offering their fictional selves to you. And you never part with a single penny for whatever sugarcoated, tragic reason relayed to you. And with a bit of luck, the one who passes your own integrity test, will be worth developing a relationship with. But do not hold your breath....
Pros
perhaps, just perhaps, you may meet someone worthy of your love. Be aware though, it will probably be more hastle than is worth it.
Cons
your chances of finding a woman who is not a scammer are slim / negligible.

Review about Mixxxer.comWe have been on the site for a little over two months.
During that time we've had supposedly 180 people look at our ad. We have not received one contact nor have we received any replies back from our multiple requests. At first we thought it was because we were standard members. After spending two months as a Premier member and traveling to both Las Vegas in New York. We can say for sure these sites all fake. It's the same random people with the exact same distance from us.
Some of the photos you cannot help remember. The day we flew out of Milwaukee they were under 10 miles. In New York they were under 30. Yes we did change the ZIP Code and the app ass to use our current locations. . It's all a scam and they're just trying to get your money.

Some genuine, some timewasters
Review about Adult FriendfinderI've been a member of AFF for 2 years now and am based in the UK. In my experience only about 1 in 5 members you will interact with will actually be serious about meeting.
I've met one lady locally and another from a different part of the country, If you are UK based and looking to have several different hook ups you probably have to be willing to travel. Although if you live in London you may find more people locally than if you live in the North East. I'm extremely large in the trouser department and that has put some potential meets up as it was too intimidating for them so perhaps my success rate is limited in that sense.
If you are decent looking, not overweight, can converse normally and don't have a micro sized cock you can potentially do pretty well on AFF. If you verify your profile and also get a testimonial early off the bat, then this will increase your chances.
Pros
There are some genuine people looking to meet.
You can find people who are looking for adult casual encounters.
Cons
Men really need to pay for a membership in order to make enough contact with women to close hook ups. Women can rely on a non paid membership and still get meets.
The site is probably 60% time-wasters.
Clever, Innovative Scams built-in
Review about ZooskMost amazing to me is that they are pushing for mainstream status so badly, they are actually running TV ads. I have to hand it to whoever came up with
the Carousel, which makes the whole site basically a SCAM. Once member realize they get tangible, spendable "coins" as rewards for saying "YES, I want to meet this person", all bets are off. So John in NYC gets an email that "Mary wants to meet you!", only to find out that "Mary", if she even exists, lives is Mexico City. In the unlikely event that she's reasonable local and possibly a match, it's guaranteed that you won't get a reply from her - she's just collecting coins by spinning the roulette wheel!!!
Pros
Not many. Paid membership, zero or nearly zero communications, zero dates. Better layout than some sites, but does it matter? Like a pretty car that won't start?
Cons
Clever (not in a good way). 2 ways to take your money. First you pay and think you're a full member. Then they sell you "coins" to contact "good matches". But wait, you can get SOME coins by lying at the Carousel, saying you want to meet every member who comes up, collecting 40 coins a day. Or just send more money to Zoosk. AND to turn off auto-renew...well, you better start trying to figure out how months ahead of time, because no refunds once you've paid for a subscription. Despite signing up online, they TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST CALL THEM ON THE PHONE to cancel!!! This is so f'ked up it should be illegal. Just sayin...
This site Screams dodgy dodgy dodgy !!!
Review about EntrepreneurDateBeing an entrepreneur myself I signed up to this site a few days ago thinking it might be a good place to meet single ladies with similar interests.
It's free to sign up, but if you want to actually do anything other than look at profiles, you'll need to upgrade.
I started of with a search of profiles in my area and received over 1600 results, wow this sites bigger than I thought, how come I haven't heard of it before?
I soon figured out why.
Out of 1600 or so results, probably only 20 or so had been online in the last month, which means only about 20 have been recently active, the rest are simply archived results and not really worth anything.
And since only upgraded members would be able to even read any email that I send, then that means you would need to filter down the 20 to separate the upgraded members from the "I filled out the free online sign up in the last month" group.
Which would bring the results to just 3 or 4 at the most ( and that's being optimistic) .
And of all the profiles I looked at, I only found about 2 that have any indication on there profiles that they are entrepreneurs or interested in the subject.
When I signed up I made sure to sign up with minimal details of myself, no profile, no pics just basic specs like age, gender etc
Surprising though I have received an unusual amount of interest,. everyday I get a message from a different female that's interested in this no name, no pic guy.
Of course, if I want to read anything more than the opening line, I would have to whip out my credit card and upgrade my membership....
Now all these women seem to be older than me and quite average looking at best, which isn't what I would expect from fake profiles, I would expect younger, good looking ladies looking for a entrepreneur / business type guy.
But It's hard not to shake your head and think pfft, when they all start with cut and paste opening lines like.... "Hi there" and "let's have a laugh" the kind of generic cut and paste rubbish you would expect from fake profiles managed by outsourced freelancers from countries where English is the second language.
So my personal assessment of the site is that I think I'll keep my credit card safe and sound in my wallet.
Pros
Didn't find any
Cons
Very misleading about actual active profile numbers. Deceptive in trying to use fake profiles to get you to upgrade.
Terrible and misleading. FAKE!!!!!
Review about Mixxxer.comVery cool setup and content, you see lots of nude girls, sluts saying dirty things, constant flows of "to good to be true" woman that you would see one after another boom boom boom. I had a great profile, great pics that get me hit on alot in the outside. But after checking out profiles and sending message after message to DOZENS of chicks that were gettable and only supposedly living "10 to 30 miles away" from me....I got a bunch of VIEWED ME's but not one single damn word to even hint at a real person or real response. I feel dumb. $8 gone. Gay
Pros
Hot chicks in nothing. Too beat off to...?
Cons
Everything from the dicks who made it to the ID's they've probly stolen and messed up because of it.
