I'll be brief. Stella Singles isn't a "dating" website. It's a "community" website, that happens to be focused around the topic of dating, relationships, and love. What I personally love about the site so much is that it ISN'T all about dating and trying to find your "one true love." That is all well and good, and very important I should say, but there is soooo much more that you can get from Stella Singles. Seriously, I love that site. I highly recommend that you check it out today. Even if you're in a strong relationship right now, the site is still for you. You can provide your expertise to others - that's where the "community" concept comes into play. People helping people. It is really a great site.
Pros Multi-dimensional, insightful, creative, funny - at times, great community feel.
Cons They can never churn out articles fast enough :). I'm always interested to see what they'll write on next.
I am an older female have had great success with meeting people. The quality of people could be better but it is an adult dating sites so one needs to weed through the chaff.
If you're just looking for something casual/sexual like FwB's or FB's or are into swinging this is the group for it. It is very active.
Please use common sense when meeting with people. Stay safe!
I've been 7orbetter for about six months so far pleased to be a member. I interact regular with other members. The site works hard to keep it classy so you never see any nudes on profiles. What the members do they have no control over. After the title of the site is what it is. If you don't want nudes or explicit photos it is on you to tell those you interact with. It is absurd to hold a site responsible for what its members do privately.
XXXMatch works fine for me. I can find a different guy everynight for a date if I wanted to. But then I am a woman so I knew before I joined there wouldn't be any shortage of men wanting to date me.
What you guys who call the site a scam have to understand is there will always be a certain amount of fake profiles on every dating site but tons more on adult sites. There are also plenty of genuine women on this site looking for good looking guys to meet up with, you just have to find us.
If your a woman who wants to join xxxmatch you will find plenty of guys, if your a guy you will have to do a bit more searching on the site before you find a date, but we are here waiting for you. I've joined several adult dating sites over the past couple of years and I've found this one to be the best.
Pros New Date Everyday
Cons Lots of fake profiles, but once you recognize them you can ignore them.
I was reading the review of 7orbetter.com by CJ and from what she was describing I remember her from the site as Charlie something. Her description of the site couldn't be more from the truth. The moderators and people that run the site do an excellent job to keep nigerian and other scammers off the site. They regularly post in the public forums when they removed someone and as a warning to the rest of us to not trust that person and fall for a scam. I remember she was on some kind of witch hunt regularly posting the names of people she felt were fake. A few of these guys I actually met in person and know for a fact were real! The site politely asked her to stop posting false accusations and I'm guessing removed her eventually for not listening. That is probably why she posted a bad review. I have nothing but high praise for this site that presented an opportunity for me to find a specific type of guy, but in an environment that was family friendly without any nudity. I also found the other members of this site to be extremely friendly and bright whom Charlie somehoe manged to pick a fight with most of them by condemning them as fake or belittling them as not being worth her time. To the creators of 7orbetter.com, thank you for providing a unique site and looking out for us!
Pros Moderators take great care to keep online scammers off the site and the people were very friendly. The public forum was especially fun and friendly.
I have been on there for about a month. I have not upgraded as of yet because I dp not totally trust the site. Why? Well, 98% of the women on there do not pay for an upgrade so they can read and receive IMs. There is something wrong with that I thing, or at the very least suspect. I am always leary of any dating sites. I have met and almost married a woman from one. You have to be careful no matter if it is a site from overseas or not. I make sure I set up a seperate id account for dating sites from my regular e-mail accounts for security purposes. As tje guy said before; if she is too good to be true, she probably is just that. Do not let your ego get you in trouble. Remember there are men over there trying to get at them as well.
Pros Good way to spend some down time. Some of the pictures on there are pretty hot! Most that contact me are my age.
Cons Most of the scammers are amatuers. You can tell most of them because they do not spell very well and the profile says 'bachelor degree'. Personal pics do not match profile pics. 99% of the female profiles are standard and cannot correspond unless YOU upgrade, but they claim that they are 'interested' in you, funny.
How stupid can guys be? Yes, of course it's a scam, and a brazen one. The hotties here will never, ever consent to meet you or give you an actual e-mail address or phone number. No matter what you write them, and no matter how often, all you'll get in return is vapid, single-sentence enticements unrelated to the message you sent them.
The scam works because guys are so bloody stupid. They actually want to believe that there are a bazillion gorgeous women out there who are eager to screw your brains out. Look at their pictures. Do they look like the kind of women who would be desperate to get laid? Another thing is that their ideal match could be an Albanian dwarf, since all of them have checked "Does Not Matter" in every descriptive category.
If investigative journalism still existed, some newspaper could write a great expose of these sleazy operators. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll pitch the story to 'Wired' myself...
In the meantime, guys, if you set yourself up as a hot babe on this site, you'll see how lucrative the business is. You'll receive from 200-500 messages every day, all from guys whose brains are in their dicks.
Pros None. It's not even a good outlet for fantasizing, since the e-mails you get from these girls could have been written by a machine, or perhaps even a smart chimpanzee.
All the other reviews hit it on the head. This site sucks in every way. I don't think there's a real woman on the site. Daily BS lines from "women" that are clearly not another person looking to connect. No response to queries to company, charges to CC, etc. This place is bad news.
I have been a member of interracialromance.com on and off. After leaving for a brief period, I decided to return. All was going very well until the site decided to deactivated my account apparently for no apparent reason. The site gave me the following information: Your account has been permanently deactivated.
Reasons for this can be any of the following:
You are not at least 18 years of age.
You provided interracialromance.com with false information as to your identity.
You abused your account (spam, scams, rude messaging, etc).
If you feel your account has been deactivated wrongfully, please contact us through the helpdesk. Sites like these make way too much money to NOT have a direct contact number!
In order to REACH their helpdesk you must submit an email. All of the reasons provided for deactivating my account were unfounded! I decided to chat with Brian. Unfortunately, he couldn't give me a definitive reason why! I was on a 3-day trial basis and asked that they not charged my card because THEY deactivated my account.
Please be careful when dealing with these online companies!
Pros 1. Their 3-day trial basis subscription is reasonable.
2. My 3-day trial money was refunded.
3. You are able to upload unlimited pictures and post some as private.
Cons 1. What they don't tell you is that after their trial period ends, you will be billed twice. Once for $14.47 and another charge for $29.95. Your guess is as good as mine. And you will receive two separate emails. Retain all documentation.
2. Their computer will 'flag' and deactivate your account without just cause.
3. They are entirely too strict. You are not able to view too much of anything without paying for their service.
4. As a paid member, you are NOT able to speak with someone live without chatting or sending an email.
5. If a paying member contacts you (as with most sites) you are not able to reply.
6. Again as with most sites, there are entirely too many fake profiles. I believe companies pay people to set up and monitor 'fake profiles!'
7. These sites are money makers; they take advantage of people desperatly seeking love. It doesn't matter which site you visit, you will witness the same crap!
8. Site is expensive.
With CheekyLovers is was immediately contacted by user who profile image was that of a good looking woman. Once I paid for the service, on of the 'women' no longer contacted me and another asked me to join another site. In my opinion, so of the contacts I received are from people benefiting from users signing up for the paid service. You should also be aware that you might receive an email from BeNaughty. If you go to that site and click on a Continue button, you are then signed up for their service and you credit card is charged even though you have not provided them with your credit card information. I am in the process of having my bank reverse the charges. The BeNaughty sight indicates that anyone who does so will be put on a black list. That is just what I want because I will never use one of these sites because in my opinion they are scam sites. I will state that some of my CheekyLovers contacts were likely from real users, but based on their image and lifestyle they are not anyone I would want to date.
Pros None, a waste of time and money.

Pros None, and complete waste of time and possibly money.
The site is poorly designed and over priced for what you get, these folks do a great jobs at marketing just as a used car dealer do marketing a lemon. Also the site is very manipulative on auto renewals, so be extremely careful. They present the 1 months option as auto renew, making it look like the 2 or 3 month option don't auto renew when it fact all of them auto renew. Contest it with your Credit Card company, they will throw a fit and challenge you to make sure they bleed you of very dime, even if you don't use the services.
Stay away, these people are as slime as the come.
Pros Targeted Site
Cons They present some of their packages as a one time charge, but then auto renew without your permission, they are a money vacuum!
I think this site is a total scam with a few members and a lot of ghost writers. How many older men do you know who are articulate and can/will write a long flowing profile filled with well written prose and emotional feeling. REALLY?
I once even proposed this theory to one of my suitors and then never even commented on it in the slightest way. After that, I got NO mail what-so-ever even though before that my mail box was always full. Pretty darn fishy to me. They don't even try to cover it up in my opinion. How many people join twice with the same or similar names and the very same photo for both accounts.
Stay away if you want quality.
-Cynthia
Pros You feel good for a week.
Cons But it's just a little hot air on a cold day.
I been on this site for less than a few months and I can already say, this isn't for me.
Ran into a few men on the site. As everyone can already tell its a good amount of real decent men and ALOT of cheap scumbags.
I been on a few dates but didn't really have a connection with them and if I did, they were looking for something else such as a quickie in a car or hotel room sessions. But I can honestly say one of the worst experiences I had was with a guy I met who lived in the DC area. Who seemed legit and nice at first so we exchanged a few emails and talked on the phone. Long story short after talking for a month or so we decided to finally meet up and he wanted me to stay at his place for one weekend. After I do he takes me out shows me a good time and later that night we sleep together. On the last day of me staying at his place he wanted to fool around. Me always being safe I asked did he have protection. Later to find out he doesn't. I tell him since I barely know him we can't go unprotected. With me saying that he seemed to be in a bad mood and started moping around the house. Before he was going to take me home he was going to take me shopping like he promised (I never asked him for this he insisted) but because he was in a bad mood he said he wanted to take me home. I felt a certain way but respected his wishes. He later went to the bank to give me the money that we agreed on and took me home. Later that week I get a text from him BEGGING me can we not use protection. Now even with people my own age or someone I'm being serious with I'm ALWAYS safe. No excuses. (And quick side note the money that he gave me once I counted it was short of what we agreed upon) so I mentioned to him, " listen if we don't use protection we have to get std test and such to both be safe" before I could finish he was VERY ecstatic and excited to seeing me even so far as to picking me up after work and getting birth control. I mention to him before he got to carried away that I wanted the amount that we both promised and upfront. With that...a whole different person emerged. He was claiming I was being greedy and selfish and that we shouldn't have to take a std test. Along with saying that he doesn't want to pay me that amount anymore. I respectfully say "ok" and that if this is so we "need to wear protection still until we get more comfortable with each other"........lets just say this. Once I mentioned the condom again...he didn't like it. He later went on to say he wasn't desperate and that I'm selfish and greedy and that he's not interested anymore. All I could do was sit in shock....did I say something wrong?? (I'm being sarcastic -__-) so because I wanted to be safe and this would only be our second time sleeping together, I'm selfish?. I responded with a "dont have time for this and goodbye"It was very backwards to me and I never texted him again.
I apologize for the long review but I just wanted to tell my story. Not all men are as rude like this but there are a good handful. I've finally decided this site isn't for me and that I'd rather work long hours than constantly dealing with bullshit. Not trying to down the site or people but again...isn't for everyone.
Best advice I can give: stand your ground and know your worth. A lot of these men will only treat you a certain way only if you LET them.
When you browse, you are flooded with attention. Take out a membership and no one sees you or responds to any messages. Once they have your $$$ the communication disappears.
Cons There is no return on your investment. And now I suspect the women aren't even there
So after two weeks on the site I did a battery of tests to see where it ranked. How honest are the mods and how honest was the site. What I found was exactly what I had feared. So I chose the top 30 some odd men and cross referenced them all with a reverse image search. Only to find the top 5 guys that are the most active just so happen to have photos linked to other people, celebs and facebook accounts not to them.
So I dug deeper on their screen names they gave me, ran those too. What I found was they were all on other dating sites but again diff locations and names making me wonder what exactly was going on.
A new dating site is not an easy task in fact to get a few thousand ppl is downright hard so you need attractive ppl to interact with as many members as possible to keep them coming on, ref friends and so on.
When I gave the mods as well as the site a list of these users they came up with a handful of sad excuses why they wouldnt remove them. Instead 3hrs later they removed a woman whos profile had no connection to my reporting/findings. In two weeks on being on the site not once did I see them remove a member for having a fake profile Nonetheless in closing is this site fake? No, its real. But I would wager 75% of the very attractive ppl on it are paid employees interacting with you to just keep you here.
I signed to mature dating (same company cupidplc) and was drawn to cheeky lover ads. I got lots of emails form apparently hot young nubiles who seem to fancy an older man,I thought lets see what happens, I tried to respond to a "hot chick", but before I could I needed to subscribe.. so I chose 3 day trial for 5.98 (with a recurring credit card payment of £25.00 if you don,t un-subscribe before trial is up) the hottie was apparently online and had sent me 2 messages saying she liked my pro, but when i replied to her she didn't respond. Then I got it she was the bait and I'd been hooked. No hot young girl needs to buy a £25.00 per month membership to a dating site to find an older man right, and if she did she would reply to someone she contacted. Anyway anyone can put up whatever photo they like doesn't mean its them. So I realized I was a fool and before I got roped into anything costly I decided to unsubscribe, to do this I needed to phone a premium rate phone number (on hold for a couple of mins of course) a foreign lady came to the phone and said sorry I was leaving them and offered me 2 weeks free I said no just cancel so she did, but not easily
Later that day I was checking my bank balance and realised I was about £20 down on what i expected, it later transpired that unbeknown to me whilst signing up to the 3 day trial I had been taken to an upgrade page on the website and had involuntarily chosen a £15.00 upgrade so instead of spending £5.98 for my trial I'd spent £21.00. I was furious so phoned the premium rate number again, it took a couple of calls and a lot of arguing to get them to agree a refund that I.m still waiting for. I ADMIT I WAS GULLIBLE SO PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES NO HOT GIRLS BUY MEMBERSHIPS TO DATING SITES TO FIND A GUY....ONLY OLD BAGS !!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY
Pros none
Cons scam you into a recurring bill and even when you cancel will offer you free membership period hoping you will forget to cancel later and fall into recurring payment trap without realizing. cons it is a con
I've always loved older men. The confidence, the look, the experience. I've always loved it all. In real life it can be tricky to meet older men. They're either married or are with friends/colleagues and feel a certain way about approaching a younger woman because they don't want to be THAT guy. One day I happened to see SA featured on a show and I decided to sign up. I was surprised by how many attractive men the site featured, very smart, personable, interesting characters(but of course mixed in with the lot that can't form a coherent sentence). I was excited and ready for an adventure; wow it's been difficult.
I will say I'm beautiful, smart, personable, funny, driven and BLACK. That seems to the the problem(the black part). About 8/10 profiles I come across either say something like "I only date White, Asian, and maybe Hispanic women" or they just come out and say "I absolutely do not date Black/African-American women". I can't say that I'm shocked but it is disappointing.
It's a strange but not terrible place but I would be cautious, a lot of the men are truly sleazy and some are nice. We are on the internet after all.
I've yet to meet someone because of the being black bit(lol), or distance is an issue, but mostly because I'm selective and I'm not in a rush. I'd much rather take my time and wait for someone that will change my life in a positive way rather than giving me $1,000/month. It is what you make it so my only advise would be for both the men and women to be safe and SMART.
Pros Good selection of men who understand what SA is about
Members can now be verified
Easy navigation
Well made website
Cons Some men equate SA with the woman on the corner
Girls with no values(they cheapen all of us)
A weird anti-black women scene
I am a decent looking guy, I set up an account with Match.com and got 11 winks in an 4 hours - so I'm not hideous at least.
And it's all gone very well, 2 of which are Asian I might add :)
I joined JapanCupid.com about 2 months ago
Anyway - this site is such a scam it's laughable - unfortunately you only truly find that out after paying for the first month subscription.
Well hopefully this will make some of the people who were ripped off through this site feel a little better.
I'm a great internet marketing professional, and specialise in SEO - and I'm going to regularly attack the site - I can't take the site down but I can make people know about how fake it is if someone tries to check its validity first I will kick them where it hurts their cheating wallet!
Pros NONE - ITS A SCAM!!!
Cons IT'S A SCAM SITE - STAY AWAY!!!
I'm an internet professional and it becomes clear when you pay the first months subscription (which it forces you to do quickly) that it's totally managed by bots (or illiterate people) either way it's a complete scam!
Disappointment to say the least, and then you have the loss of money.
What a CON If there are 2 Genuine Contacts on this site that would be the Max I know because I have met one of them. The Odds for winning the Lottery are less than meeting someone on this or any other such site. My advise would be to NOT TO BOTHER AND USE THE MONEY TO BUY EXTRA LOTTERY TICKETS. You will have more luck
This site is full of Moroccan, Tunisian and Indonesian girls primarily. Every now and then there is like an influx of girls from another country ALL AT THE SAME TIME! How is that possible? Maybe the site is targeting marketing in a specific country? Or could it be that they're uploading batches of fake profiles?
I have never met anyone from this site and I've been a member for years.

3. They are entirely too strict. You are not able to view too much of anything without paying for their service.
4. As a paid member, you are NOT able to speak with someone live without chatting or sending an email.
5. If a paying member contacts you (as with most sites) you are not able to reply.
6. Again as with most sites, there are entirely too many fake profiles. I believe companies pay people to set up and monitor 'fake profiles!'
7. These sites are money makers; they take advantage of people desperatly seeking love. It doesn't matter which site you visit, you will witness the same crap!
8. Site is expensive.
Good luck!
Buyer Beware
Review about BeNaughtyWith CheekyLovers is was immediately contacted by user who profile image was that of a good looking woman. Once I paid for the service, on of the 'women' no longer contacted me and another asked me to join another site. In my opinion, so of the contacts I received are from people benefiting from users signing up for the paid service. You should also be aware that you might receive an email from BeNaughty. If you go to that site and click on a Continue button, you are then signed up for their service and you credit card is charged even though you have not provided them with your credit card information. I am in the process of having my bank reverse the charges. The BeNaughty sight indicates that anyone who does so will be put on a black list. That is just what I want because I will never use one of these sites because in my opinion they are scam sites. I will state that some of my CheekyLovers contacts were likely from real users, but based on their image and lifestyle they are not anyone I would want to date.
Pros
None, a waste of time and money.
Cons

CheekyLovers and BeNaughty should be avoided at all costs.

None, and complete waste of time and possibly money.
Stay Away
Review about OurTimeThe site is poorly designed and over priced for what you get, these folks do a great jobs at marketing just as a used car dealer do marketing a lemon. Also the site is very manipulative on auto renewals, so be extremely careful. They present the 1 months option as auto renew, making it look like the 2 or 3 month option don't auto renew when it fact all of them auto renew. Contest it with your Credit Card company, they will throw a fit and challenge you to make sure they bleed you of very dime, even if you don't use the services.
Stay away, these people are as slime as the come.
Pros
Targeted Site
Cons
They present some of their packages as a one time charge, but then auto renew without your permission, they are a money vacuum!
Not what it appears to be
Review about OurTimeI think this site is a total scam with a few members and a lot of ghost writers. How many older men do you know who are articulate and can/will write a long flowing profile filled with well written prose and emotional feeling. REALLY?
I once even proposed this theory to one of my suitors and then never even commented on it in the slightest way. After that, I got NO mail what-so-ever even though before that my mail box was always full. Pretty darn fishy to me. They don't even try to cover it up in my opinion. How many people join twice with the same or similar names and the very same photo for both accounts.
Stay away if you want quality.

Pros
You feel good for a week.

But it's just a little hot air on a cold day.
Not worth the trouble
Review about Seeking ArrangementI been on this site for less than a few months and I can already say, this isn't for me.
Ran into a few men on the site. As everyone can already tell its a good amount of real decent men and ALOT of cheap scumbags.
I been on a few dates but didn't really have a connection with them and if I did, they were looking for something else such as a quickie in a car or hotel room sessions. But I can honestly say one of the worst experiences I had was with a guy I met who lived in the DC area. Who seemed legit and nice at first so we exchanged a few emails and talked on the phone. Long story short after talking for a month or so we decided to finally meet up and he wanted me to stay at his place for one weekend. After I do he takes me out shows me a good time and later that night we sleep together. On the last day of me staying at his place he wanted to fool around. Me always being safe I asked did he have protection. Later to find out he doesn't. I tell him since I barely know him we can't go unprotected. With me saying that he seemed to be in a bad mood and started moping around the house. Before he was going to take me home he was going to take me shopping like he promised (I never asked him for this he insisted) but because he was in a bad mood he said he wanted to take me home. I felt a certain way but respected his wishes. He later went to the bank to give me the money that we agreed on and took me home. Later that week I get a text from him BEGGING me can we not use protection. Now even with people my own age or someone I'm being serious with I'm ALWAYS safe. No excuses. (And quick side note the money that he gave me once I counted it was short of what we agreed upon) so I mentioned to him, " listen if we don't use protection we have to get std test and such to both be safe" before I could finish he was VERY ecstatic and excited to seeing me even so far as to picking me up after work and getting birth control. I mention to him before he got to carried away that I wanted the amount that we both promised and upfront. With that...a whole different person emerged. He was claiming I was being greedy and selfish and that we shouldn't have to take a std test. Along with saying that he doesn't want to pay me that amount anymore. I respectfully say "ok" and that if this is so we "need to wear protection still until we get more comfortable with each other"........lets just say this. Once I mentioned the condom again...he didn't like it. He later went on to say he wasn't desperate and that I'm selfish and greedy and that he's not interested anymore. All I could do was sit in shock....did I say something wrong?? (I'm being sarcastic -__-) so because I wanted to be safe and this would only be our second time sleeping together, I'm selfish?. I responded with a "dont have time for this and goodbye"It was very backwards to me and I never texted him again.
I apologize for the long review but I just wanted to tell my story. Not all men are as rude like this but there are a good handful. I've finally decided this site isn't for me and that I'd rather work long hours than constantly dealing with bullshit. Not trying to down the site or people but again...isn't for everyone.
Best advice I can give: stand your ground and know your worth. A lot of these men will only treat you a certain way only if you LET them.
Pros
Few good guys hard to come by though
Cons
Con artist
Fakes
X-Meeting.com Ripoff Beware
Review about XMeetingWhen you browse, you are flooded with attention. Take out a membership and no one sees you or responds to any messages. Once they have your $$$ the communication disappears.
Cons
There is no return on your investment. And now I suspect the women aren't even there
top 20 most attractive men are paid employees to interact with you
Review about 7OrBetterSo after two weeks on the site I did a battery of tests to see where it ranked. How honest are the mods and how honest was the site. What I found was exactly what I had feared. So I chose the top 30 some odd men and cross referenced them all with a reverse image search. Only to find the top 5 guys that are the most active just so happen to have photos linked to other people, celebs and facebook accounts not to them.
So I dug deeper on their screen names they gave me, ran those too. What I found was they were all on other dating sites but again diff locations and names making me wonder what exactly was going on.
A new dating site is not an easy task in fact to get a few thousand ppl is downright hard so you need attractive ppl to interact with as many members as possible to keep them coming on, ref friends and so on.
When I gave the mods as well as the site a list of these users they came up with a handful of sad excuses why they wouldnt remove them. Instead 3hrs later they removed a woman whos profile had no connection to my reporting/findings. In two weeks on being on the site not once did I see them remove a member for having a fake profile Nonetheless in closing is this site fake? No, its real. But I would wager 75% of the very attractive ppl on it are paid employees interacting with you to just keep you here.
Pros
None
DON.tT go there
Review about CheekyLoversI signed to mature dating (same company cupidplc) and was drawn to cheeky lover ads. I got lots of emails form apparently hot young nubiles who seem to fancy an older man,I thought lets see what happens, I tried to respond to a "hot chick", but before I could I needed to subscribe.. so I chose 3 day trial for 5.98 (with a recurring credit card payment of £25.00 if you don,t un-subscribe before trial is up) the hottie was apparently online and had sent me 2 messages saying she liked my pro, but when i replied to her she didn't respond. Then I got it she was the bait and I'd been hooked. No hot young girl needs to buy a £25.00 per month membership to a dating site to find an older man right, and if she did she would reply to someone she contacted. Anyway anyone can put up whatever photo they like doesn't mean its them. So I realized I was a fool and before I got roped into anything costly I decided to unsubscribe, to do this I needed to phone a premium rate phone number (on hold for a couple of mins of course) a foreign lady came to the phone and said sorry I was leaving them and offered me 2 weeks free I said no just cancel so she did, but not easily
Later that day I was checking my bank balance and realised I was about £20 down on what i expected, it later transpired that unbeknown to me whilst signing up to the 3 day trial I had been taken to an upgrade page on the website and had involuntarily chosen a £15.00 upgrade so instead of spending £5.98 for my trial I'd spent £21.00. I was furious so phoned the premium rate number again, it took a couple of calls and a lot of arguing to get them to agree a refund that I.m still waiting for. I ADMIT I WAS GULLIBLE SO PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES NO HOT GIRLS BUY MEMBERSHIPS TO DATING SITES TO FIND A GUY....ONLY OLD BAGS !!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY
Pros
none
Cons
scam you into a recurring bill and even when you cancel will offer you free membership period hoping you will forget to cancel later and fall into recurring payment trap without realizing. cons it is a con

It\\\\\\\'s not terrible but it\\\\\\\'s also not great.
Review about Seeking ArrangementI've always loved older men. The confidence, the look, the experience. I've always loved it all. In real life it can be tricky to meet older men. They're either married or are with friends/colleagues and feel a certain way about approaching a younger woman because they don't want to be THAT guy. One day I happened to see SA featured on a show and I decided to sign up. I was surprised by how many attractive men the site featured, very smart, personable, interesting characters(but of course mixed in with the lot that can't form a coherent sentence). I was excited and ready for an adventure; wow it's been difficult.
I will say I'm beautiful, smart, personable, funny, driven and BLACK. That seems to the the problem(the black part). About 8/10 profiles I come across either say something like "I only date White, Asian, and maybe Hispanic women" or they just come out and say "I absolutely do not date Black/African-American women". I can't say that I'm shocked but it is disappointing.
It's a strange but not terrible place but I would be cautious, a lot of the men are truly sleazy and some are nice. We are on the internet after all.
I've yet to meet someone because of the being black bit(lol), or distance is an issue, but mostly because I'm selective and I'm not in a rush. I'd much rather take my time and wait for someone that will change my life in a positive way rather than giving me $1,000/month. It is what you make it so my only advise would be for both the men and women to be safe and SMART.
Pros
Good selection of men who understand what SA is about
Members can now be verified
Easy navigation
Well made website
Cons
Some men equate SA with the woman on the corner
Girls with no values(they cheapen all of us)
A weird anti-black women scene
Scam Dating Site - Do Not Use!!!
Review about JapanCupid.comI am a decent looking guy, I set up an account with Match.com and got 11 winks in an 4 hours - so I'm not hideous at least.
And it's all gone very well, 2 of which are Asian I might add :)
I joined JapanCupid.com about 2 months ago
Anyway - this site is such a scam it's laughable - unfortunately you only truly find that out after paying for the first month subscription.
Well hopefully this will make some of the people who were ripped off through this site feel a little better.
I'm a great internet marketing professional, and specialise in SEO - and I'm going to regularly attack the site - I can't take the site down but I can make people know about how fake it is if someone tries to check its validity first I will kick them where it hurts their cheating wallet!
Pros
NONE - ITS A SCAM!!!
Cons
IT'S A SCAM SITE - STAY AWAY!!!
I'm an internet professional and it becomes clear when you pay the first months subscription (which it forces you to do quickly) that it's totally managed by bots (or illiterate people) either way it's a complete scam!
Diapointment
Review about Marital Affair.co.ukDisappointment to say the least, and then you have the loss of money.
What a CON If there are 2 Genuine Contacts on this site that would be the Max I know because I have met one of them. The Odds for winning the Lottery are less than meeting someone on this or any other such site. My advise would be to NOT TO BOTHER AND USE THE MONEY TO BUY EXTRA LOTTERY TICKETS. You will have more luck
Scam Site - Stay Away!
Review about Muslima.comThis site is full of Moroccan, Tunisian and Indonesian girls primarily. Every now and then there is like an influx of girls from another country ALL AT THE SAME TIME! How is that possible? Maybe the site is targeting marketing in a specific country? Or could it be that they're uploading batches of fake profiles?
I have never met anyone from this site and I've been a member for years.
Pros
Some pictures of nice looking girls
Cons
Scam site. Nobody there is real.
