I became a member there, Iranianpersonals, and noticed every time I got online the website was under maintenance and it broke down after a few minutes. The other issue was that if one views the other gender's profiles, one can see that the same profile appears a few times for example on page one and again on page three. By doing that one can increase the number of people who are online at the same time! That means if there are 8 people online and you put their profiles twice it becomes 16. I am sure in the 21 century there is a software to avoid this issue from happening.
Anyway, when I informed them that their service is less than satisfactory and they should not charge people for this kind of service, they did not respond to me, but suspended my membership and refunded my money. There was no email and no apology or anything which could explain why things are this way.
I would say, I would not expect this kind of behavior in the civilised world.People would apologize and try to keep their customers happy. I suspect the one who runs this website is not aware what is going on there and if if he is awars and it is happening under his supervision,it is really depressing.
Pros None for a guy, sounds good at first but you have no input. You are a box of cereal on a shelf
Cons Lots of emails from women who I haven no interest in. Gave up as I couldn't search, actually the idea is terrible. Imagine the other way around. Quite demeaning
No surprise here just 100% scammers.The same as confirio.com or 4ppl.com.If you do find a real person on this site chances are it will be you.Every profile photo is a model or porn star.I even reported profiles using photos of Paris Hilton and other celebs.Just another site that caters to the bottom feeders of the world.
Pros The only pro for this site is the fact you can see its a scam the second you join. Don't waste your time.
Bet this review is followed by a good one written by illicit Encounters.
Beware and do not waste your money on this site, I believe it is full of fake profiles and worse than that, there appears to be women happy to chat with you as your membership get to the end, but then they lead you on to try to get you to sign up for another month. Save your ã149 and spend it on a real woman you meet.
I am new to charmingdate.com, leaning towards scam. Seems the agency is trying to get rich off from the men, the only thing without a price is looking at the profiles of the women. You would thing a some point you would be able to exchange personal e-mail addresses?
Pros Beautiful women hope maybe a chance dreams
You would always like to think, that there are still desent people on earth.
Every one who writes me is a scammer.I report them with their real names and where they can be found on the internet to prove that they are scammers and two months later they are still on there scamming.Photos of these scammers include Julie Yulanais porn star,Raven Riley porn star,Meganqt porn star,Lana Brooke porn star,Blueyed cass porn star,Ann Angel porn star,Lea 19 porn star,I think this site should just admit that all they are is a guide to the porn stars.Thanks to this site i seem to know all the porn stars names just by investigating okcupids members.They wont remove them so stay clear of this site.My guess is that 99% of all profiles are fake.
I have had that box unchecked since day one. Is this like the fox watching the hen house you write about? You may police the site but you also have ringers too!\\r\\n\\r\\nStill waiting for customer support to answer this question, it's been a month now and no reply.\\r\\n\\r\\nWait until you have 5 credits left, you will get a collect message from a ringer.
Pros I did finally after 3 months meet someone.
Cons The collect messages, there should be a box to allow you to receive collect messages. Like allow collect message from othe profiles to be delivere to your mail box. Check here.
The following review are true, I been a Afronintroductions member for over 7 days now, I found the site easy to use and many women willing to answer an e.mail request, the 1st. six people who e.mailed me back with the standard greeting, and after reviewing there profile, and to add their profile wasn't very interesting, the profiles are all mostly the same young or old, some of the pictures posted on the site are are taken in gallery's, but most are taken by there cell phone, or someone else camera phone. I feel with age and time under my belt I'm not too bad with of a good judge when it comes down to people, human nature, and weeding out lies, so after the first day, I received few e.mails 2nd. a little more and I replied to 5 out of the 14 of the e.mails. now, I was very careless and didn't write any questions down, so everything in the beginning was off the cuff, so I went on for hours with this one young lady and right out of the gate and after a few hours she started to say how much she love me, and she want me, the auto light went off in my head. The big caution sign flashed also in my mind, so I started to slow the speed down, ask certain questions, I mostly used open ended questions , and less close ended one. Now, fast forward to day 7. I've learned a lot in a few days some about her family, about her self, relationships, schools and future plans even her real name, and The problem with most people from another country, and web sites like afrointroduction is they place there ad with the site, and have some intentions, of finding a true friend for some advice with daily decision, help with some money or just moving out of there country and living in the USA, and it's up to the person reviewing the profile to answer with some words of advice or offer to help with money. This girl is not a dummy, so I knew how to direct the conversation and keep within the speed limit, but know just like anything all good thing must come to an end and I think she is growing tired of this the questions and answer game and she is ready to resume her outside interest with her friends and family, so for me the contact with her is taking a turn away from me and maybe even the site, cause she did not have to pay to join or read mail..The good news for me is, I learned a lot, and it was fun but now, and now I can rest cause I'm done. good night all hope this was helpful
Pros The open site is very nice and most of the people are interesting you can learn a lot, the cost is low to join, I.M connections are very good, most are honest to a point. keep your questions open close end at first and open ended later research, keep an open mind and have Fun most all have fun, remember pen pals start out like that.
Cons Too many woman with underline intentions, don't be easily pull into stories, most of the women use speak English good, or very good this is not always true. the name isn't real unless you get to know them or it's verified. too many I.M and e.mail request with no answers. do not let the girl or women control the conversation, do not spend to much time cause the time in there country is 12hrs would be help for to have an online clock of the time in there country of the time.
this site is a scam. its bots and paid employees stealing womens photos and sending automated responses to what youre lookin for. foreigners scamming US dollars. i had to refrain from swearing in this review!! dont give them your money! google 'ihookup reviews' and find the sitejabber website for real reviews.
There are some reviews that state there are "fake users" or women sending winks, collect messages, chat and so on. The answer is to go into "Manage Profile" and UN-Check the box that says "Market Research." If this box is checked, then you're asking for it. See the section below, that is straight out of the AM Terms of Use Agreement:
"From time to time the Service may include, offer, initiate or send winks, virtual gifts, collect messages, instant chat and/or replies from individuals or programs ("Market Research") for market research and/or customer experience and/or quality control and/or compliance purposes. Market Research information is used to provide analysis, feedback, trends, patterns, social commentary and information in the aggregate and aides in the process of monitoring our system for compliance with our operating standards. Market Research will NOT be conspicuously identified as such. Any interaction or communication with Market Research is independent of, and separate from, our general database of Member's seeking personal or physical or other kinds of encounters or introductions. If you do not wish to continue to receive Market Research, to which the receipt of such messages you hereby consent, go to "Manage Profile" and click on "Profile Options", in "Profile Options" select "Check this box if you do not wish to by contacted by Market Research." Then click on "UPDATE."
I'm one of those women who gave up on dating sites but very much wants to continue having sex with lusty men. AM is perfect since it's full of unavailable men who won't want to come home to meet the kids or mom & dad. They all want what I want: Sex. Women, it's important to be honest on your profiles. If you want one guy, be truthful about yourself. What do you want? Kinky stuff? Conservative stuff? Post your real weight, your real age. Have a real picture (a flattering one, but within the last year) in your private showcase or be ready to talk on e-mail (which guys will want to do in order to avoid charges from AM). Don't sent the picture until you trust that the guy isn't your next-door neighbor or a PI sent by your husband or boss.
The problem is, 99% of these guys lie, compulsively. Even more than you might imagine, the pictures are OLD, the weights and ages are wrong (sometimes in an attempt to lead any suspicious spouses away from one's profile), and even though they say they want "only one," they know that's what women want to hear.
My solution is to create half a dozen profiles: A few "real" ones and four decoys that try to lure these "only one" guys into having sex. The decoys protect me. In two cases where I really thought guys wanted me for their exclusive sex/affair partner, they set up a sex date, sight unseen, with one of my decoys the very next day. Dummies. For girls like me who are serious about safe and clean guys who aren't with a bunch of other women at the same time, we'll do whatever it takes to guarantee our own safety. I have no problem with that though the guys were livid with the "entrapment." Tough.
Guys, just tell the truth, will you? If you are interested in one-night stands, tell the girl that you can't promise anything after one night. Otherwise, if you tell her you want to try each other out for an exclusive gig, you'll just piss her off.
So, here's the thing. You might get lucky. I did. After kissing a couple of really awful frogs (a psycho old dude I describe below under "cons," a sex addict who I swear had herpes sores on the picture of his penis that he insisted on texting me, a guy who was 12 years older than what his profile said who told me I was the only one he wanted and then made a sex date with my decoy only two hours later. . .. ) I found an incredible, sexy, passionate man who taught me more than I could ever dream of knowing about sex. But I consider this crazy luck, NOT due to AM itself.
I can't really say "no" to AM but I can't enthusiastically endorse it, either. Were it not for the incredible lover--unavailable married lover, just my style--who I finally met, I would say "NO." But we are incredibly happy, having more sex in the last 6 months than I had in 15 years of marriage.
Pros 1. There really are some great guys who are sincere in their desire for an exclusive sexual relationship outside of their marriage. Sounds strange, but it's true. They aren't "players." These guys are worth it. But they are VERY few and far between. I finally met one after meeting hundreds and messaging around 80.
2. It's fun. Gives you something to do. Flattering too! However, you need to ignore 90% of the messages in order to have fun.
3. Some of the nude pictures are worth the price of admission (which is free for women). Be sure to check "accept rated photos" in your preferences. Request private showcase photos from men (even from other countries) who look frisky. They are usually happy to comply.
Cons 1. Guys lie. They will say they want exclusivity, but then they say the same thing to 10 other girls. Your dummy profiles will catch these and protect you.
2. The guys who don't have "AM" beside their name are "free" members and are either transients hanging out at the library, cheap guys hoping to get lucky, high school students in study hall, or psych 101 students doing a research project. It's a waste of time even responding to these dudes.
3. I met a few of the most psycho men I've ever imagined on this site. One was a 260-pound 65-year-old guy on heart medicine who said (on his profile) he was 55 and 170#. His picture was 30 years old. He stopped his meds 2 days before so he could get it up for our meeting. He almost blacked out on me and then went into a flying rage the next day. Total psycho.
4. Prepare yourself for some criticism unless you're perfect. If you have a wonderful body, you will have NO trouble getting yourself a f**k buddy immediately. If you are older or heavier than the norm, you will get a reaction that will call your self-esteem into doubt. For example, I am a bit heavier than the norm. I had a good four days of chat with a guy--a police officer, in fact. He sent his pic. I sent mine. He told me, point blank, that I was heavier than he thought and he wasn't attracted. That stung and I felt better after letting him know that I wasn't into shallow guys.
Most profiles are fakes, Some people have several profiles, Men posing as women and women posing as men, Fake photos, Just nothing but a disaster waiting to happen, Never chat in the forums or you will be almost immediately stalked and attacked by trolls who use the forums as their own private sanctuary guarded closely by the moderators of the website who will delete any new comers to protect the regulars in the forums
Charmingdate sole purpose is to hook and cheat lovesick western men of dollars. The women are never to be reached in real life and they always provoke you to pay more n more for chatting.
Pros None
Cons Cost a lot of dollars without anything back. The women and men are held totally apart just to give no chance of contact outside the site.
that is total bullshit! im tired of the negatives let me tell you the pros: as soon as you go on the site there are people who are online that you can talk to there are a variety of people of all races and genders (even trannies) but if you are not a total loser or pervert looking to just get yourself off and you are attractive and are composed of some substance then you will be successful. i have been on there five times and have hooked up three out of five i now have the three month membership.when i am in need i can depend on sexsearch to keep me from being alone you just have to show the people what they want to see and you cant be a lameass!
Pros instant messaging,beautiful people! you will be horny just going online!
Cons every now and then there are computer generated profiles but not as many as some people claim.
i use the site for a long time already. i have not found my woman yet. i hope this happens soon. many sexy ladies show interest in me. i just can not make up my mind which one to choose. the last option they launched at the site is video chat. and now i can see these russin beauties in real life.
Pros video chat is the best thing
Cons i get messages almost from every lady of the site. am i really so popular? that's strange. my inbox is overloaded.
If she's young (25) and hot and flirting with you she's probably up to something. These sharks will give you an e-mail address and hen in contact will redirect you to another site. How may 25yr olds stay at a four seasons just to visit friends?
If they have that kind of money, they probably don't need to be scamming men.
AFF does a good job of deleting these profiles and if you report 1, they will watch out for you.
I am amazed this site hasn't been banned by British authorities yet. They simply con money from people.
I got an introductory offer. 3 days access for only £1.99 or so. I agreed and let them charge it to my PayPal account. Big mistake. 2 days into it, getting weird emails from women who definitely had not written these emails to me, I wanted to cancel before they would charge me the £24.95 for another month.
I went into my account setting and followed instructions, and chose to cancel the 'repeat billing' as they call it. No big deal I thought. But God was I wrong. MatureDating.co.uk DO NOT let you cancel your automatic payments. Instead you are instructed to await a so-called CANCELLATION CODE, which you are then supposed to enter BEFORE the YET ANOTHER procedure will be given to you, WHICH YOU ALSO have to follow, for them to cancel your payments. However, they DO NOT send you the cancellation code in time to cancel, before the next payment is due. They say they send it within an hour, and you have ONLY 2 days to deactivate your payment, else you WILL be charged. I have not yet made it to the last cancellation 'challenge' and I think I will now just go to the police and report them for FRAUD.
I, unfortunately, did sign up for the Gold membership. What the heck. $30 or so is not a big deal. Yes, I have received interest from a few females, all of course are model types. I answered most of them back and have received a couple of email answers. As others have indicated they seem like just standard generic answers. Just today I responded to one member and asked for her phone number so that I could verify if she was real or not. I don't expect her to provide that and maybe she won't even answer back. Now, since the original purchase indicated that the membership will automatically be renewed until cancelled, I am wondering how easy it will be to cancel. I don't see anywhere on their site that gives the opportunity to cancel. If all else fails I will call them to cancel and follow up with a cancellation email. They are probably banking upon members who won't report them to the Federal Trade Commission for fear of being exposed.
Pros Non that I can find.
Cons Most probably a total ripoff and that most, if not all of the people on the site, don't exist except in photos.
As an older guy (63) this site has been very useful. Thus far I have dated two college girls from the site and am in the process of meeting two others. I have heard from these girls that there are a lot of flaky guys, confirming what some other female reviewers have mentioned. The key to doing this right is to be very respectful in your profile and also when you are communicating with the girls. I never mention any sort of sexual act and when money is mentioned it is only with respect to paying for her time with me. I am also very specific in my profile as to what sort of relationship I am looking for and what I am offering which is minimal and not intended to be full time support, as I have had a long term sugar daddy relationship in the past and just looking to replace it once I find the right girl. I do get a lot of messages from girls who live far away, some even in foreign countries. I ignore them, as it is just impractical to have a long distance relationship this way -- there are plenty of girls in my vicinity to choose from, I do not need to look elsewhere. Also, any contact from a foreign country will likely be a scam so just know to not get caught up in that. I have been on the site for a few months. One thing you need to know is that when your paid subscription is about to expire and immediately thereafter, you will get a ton of messages from girls whose pics are very nice and you will want to reply to those messages. It is just a ploy to get you to renew, since you can't reply unless you are a paid subscriber. After you renew and respond to those messages the girls disappear and you never hear back. I checked a couple of them a few weeks later and the profiles had either been removed or the last login date was when they sent me the original message, so I figure those are all fake. There are some girls who are looking for outrageous sums of money (such as more than 10k/mo) and others who say they are not willing to get intimate and just looking for a "mentor". Memo to these girls: you are wasting your time. Most of the girls I have contacted or who have contacted me at other times are real (I generally get their phone numbers and real e-mail address as soon as possible). All in all I believe it is good value -- if an old guy like me can get dates with 19 to 24 year old college girls from this site, then anybody can, just write a good profile -- "if you build it, they will come (and so will you)".
**Update** Just made a major mistake: had the girl come to my door without meeting her first at a restaurant. I barely recognized her from her photo -- she must have put on about 50 pounds since her photos were uploaded. Will just chalk that up to a lesson learned. This is the first of four I've met so far from this site that didn't resemble her photo. She was nice but I am not into BBWs and would never have agreed to see her if I had known the truth.
Pros Most girls are attractive and real.
Easy to hook up.
Search engine is pretty good (when searching, don't waste time contacting girls who haven't logged in within the last month).
Marrymesugardaddy site is a joke. Rich people just sit back and read emails with no intention of meeting and waste of time. Its ridiculous that suarbaby has to pay using the site.
This site should list prices on faq instead of signup.
Pros Easy profile to setup
Search friendly
Cons Waste of time and money
When I reply back to men's emails, I don't hear back from them.
Men just look at pictures with no intentions of meeting
Not disclosing fees at the beginning of the page
You have to pay to read messages
Too many Ims popping out when I was signing up
Overcharges and don't use your credit(get a prepaid credit card)
Cannot send ims stating review profile
Unwanted Ims from homosexuals contacting straight person
Jerks
as I have been on and off of it for the last few years. There are absolutley more women then men by a large ratio but if you work hard, write a decent profile, post some good pictures you can and will meet women. I have met several over the years and have had a great time.
Have also tried AFF and Fling with very poor results. AFF is great if you are a couple or single woman as it has evolved into almost exclusively a swinger site. Fling.com has been worthless, lots of fakes with attractive photos, lots of not so attractive women that appear to be real.
AM has plenty of hot women, is discreet and absolutely works!
Pros Lots of attractive women looking to have fun. The key concept allows privacy for both the women and men to share pictures.
Cons The ratio is of men to women is the typcial adult dating 10 to 1 so you need to have some game!
Service
Review about Iranian PersonalsI became a member there, Iranianpersonals, and noticed every time I got online the website was under maintenance and it broke down after a few minutes.

Review about AfroIntroductions.comThe following review are true, I been a Afronintroductions member for over 7 days now, I found the site easy to use and many women willing to answer an e.mail request, the 1st. six people who e.mailed me back with the standard greeting, and after reviewing there profile, and to add their profile wasn't very interesting, the profiles are all mostly the same young or old, some of the pictures posted on the site are are taken in gallery's, but most are taken by there cell phone, or someone else camera phone.

Even more than you might imagine, the pictures are OLD, the weights and ages are wrong (sometimes in an attempt to lead any suspicious spouses away from one's profile), and even though they say they want "only one," they know that's what women want to hear.
My solution is to create half a dozen profiles: A few "real" ones and four decoys that try to lure these "only one" guys into having sex. The decoys protect me. In two cases where I really thought guys wanted me for their exclusive sex/affair partner, they set up a sex date, sight unseen, with one of my decoys the very next day. Dummies. For girls like me who are serious about safe and clean guys who aren't with a bunch of other women at the same time, we'll do whatever it takes to guarantee our own safety. I have no problem with that though the guys were livid with the "entrapment." Tough.
Guys, just tell the truth, will you? If you are interested in one-night stands, tell the girl that you can't promise anything after one night. Otherwise, if you tell her you want to try each other out for an exclusive gig, you'll just piss her off.
So, here's the thing. You might get lucky. I did. After kissing a couple of really awful frogs (a psycho old dude I describe below under "cons," a sex addict who I swear had herpes sores on the picture of his penis that he insisted on texting me, a guy who was 12 years older than what his profile said who told me I was the only one he wanted and then made a sex date with my decoy only two hours later. . .. ) I found an incredible, sexy, passionate man who taught me more than I could ever dream of knowing about sex. But I consider this crazy luck, NOT due to AM itself.
I can't really say "no" to AM but I can't enthusiastically endorse it, either. Were it not for the incredible lover--unavailable married lover, just my style--who I finally met, I would say "NO." But we are incredibly happy, having more sex in the last 6 months than I had in 15 years of marriage.
Pros
1. There really are some great guys who are sincere in their desire for an exclusive sexual relationship outside of their marriage. Sounds strange, but it's true. They aren't "players." These guys are worth it. But they are VERY few and far between. I finally met one after meeting hundreds and messaging around 80.
2. It's fun. Gives you something to do. Flattering too! However, you need to ignore 90% of the messages in order to have fun.
3. Some of the nude pictures are worth the price of admission (which is free for women). Be sure to check "accept rated photos" in your preferences. Request private showcase photos from men (even from other countries) who look frisky. They are usually happy to comply.
Cons
1. Guys lie. They will say they want exclusivity, but then they say the same thing to 10 other girls. Your dummy profiles will catch these and protect you.
2. The guys who don't have "AM" beside their name are "free" members and are either transients hanging out at the library, cheap guys hoping to get lucky, high school students in study hall, or psych 101 students doing a research project. It's a waste of time even responding to these dudes.
3. I met a few of the most psycho men I've ever imagined on this site. One was a 260-pound 65-year-old guy on heart medicine who said (on his profile) he was 55 and 170#. His picture was 30 years old. He stopped his meds 2 days before so he could get it up for our meeting. He almost blacked out on me and then went into a flying rage the next day. Total psycho.
4. Prepare yourself for some criticism unless you're perfect. If you have a wonderful body, you will have NO trouble getting yourself a f**k buddy immediately. If you are older or heavier than the norm, you will get a reaction that will call your self-esteem into doubt. For example, I am a bit heavier than the norm. I had a good four days of chat with a guy--a police officer, in fact. He sent his pic. I sent mine. He told me, point blank, that I was heavier than he thought and he wasn't attracted. That stung and I felt better after letting him know that I wasn't into shallow guys.
Filled with scammers and hatred
Review about ConnectingSinglesMost profiles are fakes, Some people have several profiles, Men posing as women and women posing as men, Fake photos, Just nothing but a disaster waiting to happen, Never chat in the forums or you will be almost immediately stalked and attacked by trolls who use the forums as their own private sanctuary guarded closely by the moderators of the website who will delete any new comers to protect the regulars in the forums
Pros
A learning experience
Cons
Scammers, Con-artists, Moderators, Fake profiles,Hatred, Racism, Trolls
CharmingScam.com would be more appropriate
Review about CharmingDate.comCharmingdate sole purpose is to hook and cheat lovesick western men of dollars. The women are never to be reached in real life and they always provoke you to pay more n more for chatting.
Pros
None
Cons
Cost a lot of dollars without anything back. The women and men are held totally apart just to give no chance of contact outside the site.
dont believe the negative talk
Review about SexSearchthat is total bullshit! im tired of the negatives let me tell you the pros: as soon as you go on the site there are people who are online that you can talk to there are a variety of people of all races and genders (even trannies) but if you are not a total loser or pervert looking to just get yourself off and you are attractive and are composed of some substance then you will be successful. i have been on there five times and have hooked up three out of five i now have the three month membership.when i am in need i can depend on sexsearch to keep me from being alone you just have to show the people what they want to see and you cant be a lameass!
Pros
instant messaging,beautiful people! you will be horny just going online!
Cons
every now and then there are computer generated profiles but not as many as some people claim.
Best site ever
Review about Seeking ArrangementFor what the site is, it works. But obviously it's not for everyone. If you want a sugar relationship though this is the website to use.
Pros
Real, verified and generous men.
Free for girls.
Super easy to use.
Cons
None.
mail order brides
Review about BeHappy2Dayi use the site for a long time already. i have not found my woman yet. i hope this happens soon. many sexy ladies show interest in me. i just can not make up my mind which one to choose. the last option they launched at the site is video chat. and now i can see these russin beauties in real life.
Pros
video chat is the best thing
Cons
i get messages almost from every lady of the site. am i really so popular? that's strange. my inbox is overloaded.
Watch out for the sharks
Review about Adult FriendfinderIf she's young (25) and hot and flirting with you she's probably up to something. These sharks will give you an e-mail address and hen in contact will redirect you to another site. How may 25yr olds stay at a four seasons just to visit friends?
If they have that kind of money, they probably don't need to be scamming men.
AFF does a good job of deleting these profiles and if you report 1, they will watch out for you.
Pros
Good customer support
Cons
The fake profiles....
Scammers
Review about Ashley MadisonYes, they have personnel on the payroll who send collect messages and use fake profiles.
Who stays on line 24/7 for weeks on end? A dead give away!
Pros
Nothing, even the real profiles are scary.
Cons
Collect messages....Don't be fooled.
maturedating.co.uk nothing but a scam
Review about Mature Dating UKI am amazed this site hasn't been banned by British authorities yet. They simply con money from people.
I got an introductory offer. 3 days access for only £1.99 or so. I agreed and let them charge it to my PayPal account. Big mistake. 2 days into it, getting weird emails from women who definitely had not written these emails to me, I wanted to cancel before they would charge me the £24.95 for another month.
I went into my account setting and followed instructions, and chose to cancel the 'repeat billing' as they call it. No big deal I thought. But God was I wrong. MatureDating.co.uk DO NOT let you cancel your automatic payments. Instead you are instructed to await a so-called CANCELLATION CODE, which you are then supposed to enter BEFORE the YET ANOTHER procedure will be given to you, WHICH YOU ALSO have to follow, for them to cancel your payments. However, they DO NOT send you the cancellation code in time to cancel, before the next payment is due. They say they send it within an hour, and you have ONLY 2 days to deactivate your payment, else you WILL be charged. I have not yet made it to the last cancellation 'challenge' and I think I will now just go to the police and report them for FRAUD.
Pros
None, this is a scam
Cons
Everything.
XPress so far seems like a totally bogus site
Review about XPress.comI, unfortunately, did sign up for the Gold membership. What the heck. $30 or so is not a big deal. Yes, I have received interest from a few females, all of course are model types. I answered most of them back and have received a couple of email answers. As others have indicated they seem like just standard generic answers. Just today I responded to one member and asked for her phone number so that I could verify if she was real or not. I don't expect her to provide that and maybe she won't even answer back. Now, since the original purchase indicated that the membership will automatically be renewed until cancelled, I am wondering how easy it will be to cancel. I don't see anywhere on their site that gives the opportunity to cancel. If all else fails I will call them to cancel and follow up with a cancellation email. They are probably banking upon members who won't report them to the Federal Trade Commission for fear of being exposed.
Pros
Non that I can find.
Cons
Most probably a total ripoff and that most, if not all of the people on the site, don't exist except in photos.
Seeking Arrangement -- Worthwhile if you know how to use it
Review about Seeking ArrangementAs an older guy (63) this site has been very useful. Thus far I have dated two college girls from the site and am in the process of meeting two others. I have heard from these girls that there are a lot of flaky guys, confirming what some other female reviewers have mentioned. The key to doing this right is to be very respectful in your profile and also when you are communicating with the girls. I never mention any sort of sexual act and when money is mentioned it is only with respect to paying for her time with me. I am also very specific in my profile as to what sort of relationship I am looking for and what I am offering which is minimal and not intended to be full time support, as I have had a long term sugar daddy relationship in the past and just looking to replace it once I find the right girl. I do get a lot of messages from girls who live far away, some even in foreign countries. I ignore them, as it is just impractical to have a long distance relationship this way -- there are plenty of girls in my vicinity to choose from, I do not need to look elsewhere. Also, any contact from a foreign country will likely be a scam so just know to not get caught up in that. I have been on the site for a few months. One thing you need to know is that when your paid subscription is about to expire and immediately thereafter, you will get a ton of messages from girls whose pics are very nice and you will want to reply to those messages. It is just a ploy to get you to renew, since you can't reply unless you are a paid subscriber. After you renew and respond to those messages the girls disappear and you never hear back. I checked a couple of them a few weeks later and the profiles had either been removed or the last login date was when they sent me the original message, so I figure those are all fake. There are some girls who are looking for outrageous sums of money (such as more than 10k/mo) and others who say they are not willing to get intimate and just looking for a "mentor". Memo to these girls: you are wasting your time. Most of the girls I have contacted or who have contacted me at other times are real (I generally get their phone numbers and real e-mail address as soon as possible). All in all I believe it is good value -- if an old guy like me can get dates with 19 to 24 year old college girls from this site, then anybody can, just write a good profile -- "if you build it, they will come (and so will you)".
**Update** Just made a major mistake: had the girl come to my door without meeting her first at a restaurant. I barely recognized her from her photo -- she must have put on about 50 pounds since her photos were uploaded. Will just chalk that up to a lesson learned. This is the first of four I've met so far from this site that didn't resemble her photo. She was nice but I am not into BBWs and would never have agreed to see her if I had known the truth.
Pros
Most girls are attractive and real.
Easy to hook up.
Search engine is pretty good (when searching, don't waste time contacting girls who haven't logged in within the last month).
Cons
None
Avoid this site at your own expense
Review about MarryMeSugardaddyMarrymesugardaddy site is a joke. Rich people just sit back and read emails with no intention of meeting and waste of time. Its ridiculous that suarbaby has to pay using the site.
This site should list prices on faq instead of signup.
Pros
Easy profile to setup
Search friendly
Cons
Waste of time and money
When I reply back to men's emails, I don't hear back from them.
Men just look at pictures with no intentions of meeting
Not disclosing fees at the beginning of the page
You have to pay to read messages
Too many Ims popping out when I was signing up
Overcharges and don't use your credit(get a prepaid credit card)
Cannot send ims stating review profile
Unwanted Ims from homosexuals contacting straight person
Jerks
Ashley Madison is the real deal...
Review about Ashley Madisonas I have been on and off of it for the last few years. There are absolutley more women then men by a large ratio but if you work hard, write a decent profile, post some good pictures you can and will meet women. I have met several over the years and have had a great time.
Have also tried AFF and Fling with very poor results. AFF is great if you are a couple or single woman as it has evolved into almost exclusively a swinger site. Fling.com has been worthless, lots of fakes with attractive photos, lots of not so attractive women that appear to be real.
AM has plenty of hot women, is discreet and absolutely works!
Pros
Lots of attractive women looking to have fun. The key concept allows privacy for both the women and men to share pictures.
Cons
The ratio is of men to women is the typcial adult dating 10 to 1 so you need to have some game!
