another day today and another abusive man from illicit encounters. I told him I wasnt interested after he contacted me from the site and I told him it was because I had had abuse false accusations and a month of rubbish from another man. he pretended to be supportive then said texting and e mailing was not satisfying for him and got nasty when I said I didnt want to meet because I was still shell shocked from the last loony who contacted me. surprise surprise same thing, twisted my words turned everything I said around on me told me I needed professional help because I wouldnt meet him. same old same old. The men actually have a list of demands on there. she must be this, she must do that. she must, she must. They think they are buying prostitutes because they have paid the site. I would think very carefully before you try this site as a woman. there are the battle worn women on there but if you are at all normal and expect a normal person to talk to run for your life
Pros the odd man that is decent
Cons you leave yourself open to nasty predators who think they can talk to you like dirt because they have paid a subscription fee to do so. watch out for the false allegations when you dont want to meet loonys
I joined this site and thought i found a scammer free site.Boy was i wrong!The scammers don't use a lot of porn star photos.Instead they use model photos and photos stolen from other dating sites.At first the management got rid of the scammers that i reported but when they realized that i wasn't going away they stopped deleting there profiles.Like any other dating site the scammers seem to do as they please.This site talks a good anti scammer policy but that's as far as it goes.When the scammers steal photos of normal people from other dating sites,its hard to tell there scammers.Iv'e been on this site for quite sometime now and talked to a lot of women, only to find that they're scammers using stolen photos of women iv'e talked to on other sites.I don't join these sites looking for dates.I only look for scammers.I'm very good at identifying them because that's all i do with my computer.If and when i ever find a dating site that willing to protect its members from scammers i will let it be known to all i can reach.Until then i'll keep on looking and reporting unsafe sites.This one is totally unsafe because its misleading and puts on a good show.Iv'e reported a lot of the best known scammer photos and even gave them there real names and sites where to find them.After weeks of checking back to see if they've done anything they're all still there and very active.
Pros Its free.
Cons You might talk to a real person but chances are its a scammer.You have no way of knowing.They may talk to you for weeks before asking for money so just don't give money.If they want you to go to yahoo or msn instant messenger its a scammer.I hope iv'e been helpful and i do what i do for your protection.That's more than these dating sites can say.All of them.If any of these sites ever change for the better i will come back and change my review.Don't hold your breath.
I joined and pretty soon realised there are only really a very small amount of men. But you are as a woman open to all kinds of abuse because they are paying and they think they can treat you any way they want. I was contacted by a man who asked me out and I genuinely couldnt make it. He said we could be friends then made a date with another woman. I was supportive, the more supportive I was the nastier he got saying I pushed women away. He then accused me of stalking him after he contacted me sent me three gifts and said the site was going to contact the police. I was actually seeing a police officer I met on there so I was really scared as thought how embarrassing this may be for him. The women may not have to pay but if you are genuine you have to take an awful lot of rubbish from the men. I was crying for weeks every time this man contacted me twisted what I said or lied about me. Is it worth it. NO. The administrators should have more sense than to go along with these loonys.
Pros some nice men who you can talk to
Cons open to abusive men who pay so get away with it
This xpress.com site is set up purposefully to make subscribers feel like they are getting more out of the site. It's actually in the fine print. They say it literally that they are setting up "company-owned" profiles to respond to users, interact with them.
These may not be real people, but actual computer or other forms of AI, but will come to you in the guise of a real person. They may also be real people on occasion, who are responding on behalf of the company, but they explicitly state in their terms that they may NOT be a real individual, and may be a computer.
I hope this specific information gets spread far and wide across the internet, so they can have all their users dump them faster than the planet is moving through around the sun!
Pros None
Cons All purposefully designed to lure you, with fake people placed by them, or by computers and bots sending messages, viewing profiles, etc...and nothing you can do about it because it is listed in the terms if you take the time to go through them.
Like many said before. You never converse with anyone here! They tempt you with computer generated flirts from women if you're a guy. They should be banned for false advertisement. Why are they allowed to continue to take peoples money?
I just did a member search on this site and the first four pages of most current members were mostly Nigerian scammers using stolen porn star photos.This site also gives the option to block members from leaving profile comments so the scammers have a free ride.It seems the owners have abandoned this site and left it to the scammers.Very small piss poor photos but large enough to tell that its all scammers.
Pros Lets you check profiles without wasting your time joining.All the same scammers that you can find at scammerslist.com.
Cons Its just your typical Nigerian scammer hangout.
I just checked this site out and its pretty much all scammers.Its one of those sites that allows you to post comments under peoples profiles but it lets the members control who leaves the comments.Therefore the scammers have control and don't allow comments. If they would just allow comments to be posted on everyone the scammers would be exposed.Nice site but inhabited by mostly Nigerian scammers using porn star photos.Too bad the owners don't wise up so guys like me can get in there and tag the scammers.
Pros Free if you like talking to Nigerian scammers.
Cons The owners just let the scammers ruin there site when it doesn't have to be that way.
I did a trial membership and had a hard time getting them to stop charging my account. Also you not only sign up for their site but you sign up for something call insider dating if you don't beware. Claims there's a pre checked box I should have unchecked. They will back off charges but the problem is they continue to charge your card. You will also get charged a very minimal amy for an international card fee (in my case $.012) for using your credit card which so far I haven't been able to get them to back off my credit card, have been told it will happen, yet to be seen.\r\n\r\nPotential prospects for this site in my case was pretty much nil (did get one bite, that's how I got suckered back on here.)
Pros None. Free account set dormant for years before I got this one hit. Forgot I was even signed up on here.
Cons If you charge get one of those credit cards at Walmart or somewhere with just enough money on it to pay for one time billing.
I have been a paid member of AM for around 3 years.
Pros Credits do not expire. There seem to be more women in my local area actively using the service than most other similar sites. They seem to be real.
Cons Only met 1 woman after all of this time. Very few women respond to contacts. Sometimes gay men pose as women on the site. If you are super tall, dark and handsome you might have a really great time.
Overall DateMySchool is a great website. It allows you to meet people from surrounding schools in your area, which I like because my school is small and I always see the same faces. You can block your own school, so that is good if you have privacy concerns like me haha .. It has a long list of privacy settings in place and allows you to narrow your searches efficiently. I have only met two people from the site thus far but both were a good experience. Really the only drawback is they sometimes suggest users to you whose profiles you are unable to view but this may be a glitch since according to the site they are still in the beta version. Their customer support is also good. I had a few questions about signing up and I received a response within 30 minutes on a weekend.
Pros List of search/privacy features, great user experience, customer service, interesting conversation, reasonable pricing for premium stuff (although I did not upgrade), easy site navigation
:( Connecting Singles has some fun features, but the forums are definitely the feature to avoid. It is populated with Anti-Semites, those who spew Anti-Western propaganda, racists, sexists and ageists. The moderation seems to favour these bucolics and any thinkers who oppose the base attitudes these individuals display, are doomed to be banned. The site owners clearly promote this sort of bigotry to the point where certain individuals can post any moronic garbage they like in order to raise the site views for the advertisers. Abandon all reason, ye who enter here.
Pros One can observe the adults produced by nations with poor educational standards.
Cons One is exposed to the worst of human emotion and bigotry.
Browsing this site, the blogs caused concern. Observed an American man, a reputable professional photographer being called a Nazi and other offensive terms of reference on a blog created by allegedly another notorious banned member who was operating two profiles easily spotted by the photos used. The blog dedication was deleted but not after some time had passed, enough time for comments and 'all' across the worldwide net to view.
Pros Free but not worth a dime
The Ad robot may be worth dating but will steal all your data as it clocks your key strokes
Cons
Most blogs have no relevance to dating and blogs can be written on other blog sites.
If members post photos on this site they should hide their profiles when not logged in to reduce risk of identity theft but the problem with these types of sites is some peeps don't take it seriously and then wonder why these things happen.
Anyone pathological can join and how would you know just by reading a profile or looking at a photo although that could be said for all dating sites, I observed some other sites are better at filtering.
Over the past few months, this site has gone from one of the worse sites on the Internet , to the worst!
Quite an achievement to be honest, and it was done quite easily.
First of all, on the forums they (for some messed up reason) decided to give the thread owners the power to ban people from their threads. Could have worked, but bear in mind, we're dealing with children here... and children that eat the purple crayons!
Now, if someone doesn't like you, they will wait for you to post, and then ban you, but only after trolling you first.
Speaking of trolling. Yah, it's rife there. It's now slowly turning into an anti West site. If you have something to say that negates the western world, then it's the place to be. It also seems to grant you immunity from a ban.
The threads are as if a spotty teenager has finally been allowed onto the Internet. It's all about sex and other subjects that could turn milk sour.
The moderators. Yah, they are the biggest joke on the site. They really have no idea what the site actually offers. They claimed it was a clean and safe site that doesn't offer meeting up for sex. Yet, they do. Intimate Encounter is one of the options. Though, pointing that out by starting a thread questioning what the member base thought it was, got me banned and thrown off the site. That's how pathetic they actually are.
But, if you want to ask if anal sex is something you'd do on a first date, or if swallowing semen is OK or how many times you masturbated, then that's perfectly acceptable. Just don't ask a genuine question that you'd actually want to know the answer for.
Regarding the dating. It's a waste of time. More fakes than a Chinese market, and the site does nothing about them.
Joined for one month to figure if this is for me. I got matches of people that tell me they work out but obviously eat during their workout time. Only a handful seem okay. I am engaged in conversation with a few people, but you never know what is on the other end of the email thread. After placing pictures online and telling about yourself, it is then up to common sense and being cautious. Then if you want to meet someone, then there is another level of security to figure out. Sort of like peeling back the onion each step of the way. Not sure if this is worth it as I have not been tricked or scammed out of resources, but the game playing and preying upon human emotion is not worth it. There may be other legitimate venues for this type of dating. Only a few days left as you can unsubscribe but you cannot get your money back. The expense of one month was worth the trial effort to tell this is a boon!
I joined about 6 weeks ago,waited 7 days before able to post,had about 16 hours on site then my profile was deleted.
I was accused of being a banned member [ think her name was bestbefore?] Whoever this person was she certainly left her mark, as the paranoia on the threads is rife!
As the site is open to view, whether you are a member or not, I checked the Forums again, and saw that the frenzied mob on there were accusing another member of being this bestbefore.What the hell's that all about!
In just a short while I discovered the site is run by certain members whose posts leave a lot to be desired ,sexually,racially,whatever. Almost like a porn site judging by some of the posts . You will be torn to shreds and banned if your face doesn't fit from what I have seen of late.
My advice,avoid C.S. like the plague.Other sites are much more friendly ,as I have discovered.
Pros Not on there long enough to find out.!
Cons Too much interference by members who appear to control the site.
Ii was there for a short time, saw enough, shocking to see a guy in dubai and his so called 'attractive' (not my type) female trolls in murcia, spain (likes using not accurate or recent photos sitting on a bar and posing like a wannabe but never will be model in a field of flowers) and prague (a flitting 'butterfly'......)accusing a female member of being a lovely lady who left due to insults and insulting mails by this thread man in dubai. i was also attacked by this sly smirky smile faced troll in murcia who quoted my name on the forums and created a blog in my name. Hello! Against the rules and all because it was pointed out nicely in mail she was incorrect about the member. This 'forums thread woman' was viewing my profile every day! Isn't that stalking? Turns out she/he is a player, some members told me she/he is a banned member who returned. All nonsense mind you for someone who claims to have a 'phd' (yeah right) and has too much time online for someone in executive management (don't believe everything people tell you there).
Pros has potential chatting to people if you don't mind all the 'isms' racism, sexism, age-ism, you name it!
Cons madness about sums this site up! Not suitable for long term serious relationships, success stories rare!
fake photos (famous people, actors, actresses, models, stolen identities)
trolling
bullying, name calling, fights
poorly moderated
some members go to cs jail for short periods of time so they cannot post, but not all members sent to cs jail for the right reasons
some members get banned and return, not all banned members banned for the right reasons
scammers, many scammers, some scammers are who they say they are but very clever, manipulative
site seems connected to porn sites including teenage porn, worrying
photos can be copied and stolen
broken hearts
Under cupid.com you will be asked to join WildBuddies a part of cupid .com well i took the 3 day trail base for $2.99 they not only charged me for that and i cancelled out the membership the same day i didnt like the site and how it worked they then charged my credit card for 39.99 plus tax and when i have written them several times making threats to take legal action against them if they didnt refund me my $39.99 plus tax back they said you will hear an answer in 72 hours well that was the end of May and i have yet to hear anything or seen a refund so be careful they will double charge you for the 3 day trial offer plus a month also and i best not see another charge on my next statement my back is aware of the non authorization for the 1 month they already stole from me that we will take further action to get back what belongs to me they stole out of my account...BE CAREFUL what you do with cupid.com/WildBuddies.com for they love take what you dont authorize them to have or do and u never ever hear from back the customer service dept again...I have not been back to that site again to hear that i used their site I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED THEY STOLE
Pros they love to take unauthorize money from your accounts when you cancel out your trial period on the same day you have started
I joined as a "free member" I had been burned by fling.com. which I totally believe is accociated with flirt.com. Exactly the same b.s. techniques. 3 day free trial period, bla bla bla. Before u "upgrade" your flooded with emails from hot lookng women who come right and say risque things, ie "I'm so horney, I need to get laid now, what ru waiting for" "don't u like me? Am I not good enough for you" etc. etc. I could go on and on. Flirt.com is a total scam. Please save ur money and if u must join a reliable service such as match.com. Personally after these experiances I've such a bad taste in my mouth that I won't spend another dime on any of them. One exception, if ur looking for a sex site where the people are actually real, is Adult Friend Finder.com./ Passion.com. I've been a member for many years, met many people, talked to many ladies on the phone and gotten laid let's say an ample number of times. Aduld Friend Finder orr AFF as it's commonly know in a totally owned subsideray of Penthouse magazine. So, at least your dealing with a well known reputitble entity. Aside from AFF, Match.com and E harmony.com STAY AWAY, KEEP YOUR MONEY unltess you've money to throw away. Mad as hell in Phoenix, Arizona.
Pros NONE There is no "pro" to Fling.com. They are totally sacmer's and bloodsucker's who want to take ur hard earned money. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE, I HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS STUDYING THESE VARIOUS ONLINE DATING SERVICES. THE ONLY TOTALLY FREE ONE I KNOW OF WHERE U CAN REALLY SEND AND RECEIVE EMAILS IS "P.O.F. Pleanty of fish.com. To the best of my knowldege this is a totally legit site and totally free.
Cons EVERTHING. This whole Flirt.com and Fling.com is a total con. I want to reiterate that I believe Flirt .com and Fling.com are one in the same. Also avoid anything that is related to the words cupid, or cupid.com any company with Cupid in their name are total scams.
I had a friend i just met tell me that he saw my pics all 4 of them that was posted on the site POF listed here and it wasnt me that posted a profile or pics to this site infact until he told me about it i never knew this site existed...BE CAREFUL they dont mind posting false profiles and stolen pics...They did say the deleted my pics/profile when i threatened to take legal action against them for allowing stolen pics and fake profile of mine...
BE CAREFUL...have some look and see if your pics are here without your authorization
Pros be careful id have some check for your pics on this site
Cons be careful they will post false pics/profiles
This is nothing but spam, spam, and oh did I say SPAM. I had hit after hit of nothing but webcam offers from somewhere. Call this and pay this. Site is way to confusing and hard to navigate. impossible to figure out what is actually happening. The cancellation process is a joke. Not only do you have to do the website and try to find the place to cancell. You have to call a 1800 number to finish it? I am surprised it wasn't a 1900 number. I had to call twice. But the refund? You have to Email that request? Unfortunately I don't ever expect to see my money again. Stay away from this site, and tell every one you know to stay away.
I've been a member for about 10 years -- that alone, should tell you something. I bought a lifetime membership when they first were established. It was very inexpensive so I went for it. Over the years, I have received so many messages from men young enough to be my son that I am totally disgusted. Also, lots of scammers -- people who only want to IM or email, because they know you will be able to tell from their accents that they are definitely not who they say they are. I recommend you read a good book instead.
BEWARE
Review about FilipinoCupidI've sent them check for membership.... They didn't change my profile and don't even answer my e-mails! SCAM!
Pros
Don't pay them! Don't send ANY money to Global Collect! Bunch of scammers!
Cons
Watch out!
another day being abused from members of illicit encounters
Review about Illicit Encountersanother day today and another abusive man from illicit encounters. I told him I wasnt interested after he contacted me from the site and I told him it was because I had had abuse false accusations and a month of rubbish from another man. he pretended to be supportive then said texting and e mailing was not satisfying for him and got nasty when I said I didnt want to meet because I was still shell shocked from the last loony who contacted me. surprise surprise same thing, twisted my words turned everything I said around on me told me I needed professional help because I wouldnt meet him. same old same old. The men actually have a list of demands on there. she must be this, she must do that. she must, she must. They think they are buying prostitutes because they have paid the site. I would think very carefully before you try this site as a woman. there are the battle worn women on there but if you are at all normal and expect a normal person to talk to run for your life
Pros

you leave yourself open to nasty predators who think they can talk to you like dirt because they have paid a subscription fee to do so. watch out for the false allegations when you dont want to meet loonys
SCAMMER INFESTATION.
Review about OKCupidI joined this site and thought i found a scammer free site.Boy was i wrong!The scammers don't use a lot of porn star photos.Instead they use model photos and photos stolen from other dating sites.At first the management got rid of the scammers that i reported but when they realized that i wasn't going away they stopped deleting there profiles.Like any other dating site the scammers seem to do as they please.This site talks a good anti scammer policy but that's as far as it goes.When the scammers steal photos of normal people from other dating sites,its hard to tell there scammers.Iv'e been on this site for quite sometime now and talked to a lot of women, only to find that they're scammers using stolen photos of women iv'e talked to on other sites.I don't join these sites looking for dates.I only look for scammers.I'm very good at identifying them because that's all i do with my computer.If and when i ever find a dating site that willing to protect its members from scammers i will let it be known to all i can reach.Until then i'll keep on looking and reporting unsafe sites.This one is totally unsafe because its misleading and puts on a good show.Iv'e reported a lot of the best known scammer photos and even gave them there real names and sites where to find them.After weeks of checking back to see if they've done anything they're all still there and very active.

Review about OurTimeJoined for one month to figure if this is for me. I got matches of people that tell me they work out but obviously eat during their workout time. Only a handful seem okay. I am engaged in conversation with a few people, but you never know what is on the other end of the email thread. After placing pictures online and telling about yourself, it is then up to common sense and being cautious. Then if you want to meet someone, then there is another level of security to figure out. Sort of like peeling back the onion each step of the way. Not sure if this is worth it as I have not been tricked or scammed out of resources, but the game playing and preying upon human emotion is not worth it. There may be other legitimate venues for this type of dating. Only a few days left as you can unsubscribe but you cannot get your money back. The expense of one month was worth the trial effort to tell this is a boon!
What a joke!
Review about ConnectingSinglesI joined about 6 weeks ago,waited 7 days before able to post,had about 16 hours on site then my profile was deleted.
I was accused of being a banned member [ think her name was bestbefore?] Whoever this person was she certainly left her mark, as the paranoia on the threads is rife!
As the site is open to view, whether you are a member or not, I checked the Forums again, and saw that the frenzied mob on there were accusing another member of being this bestbefore.What the hell's that all about!
In just a short while I discovered the site is run by certain members whose posts leave a lot to be desired ,sexually,racially,whatever. Almost like a porn site judging by some of the posts . You will be torn to shreds and banned if your face doesn't fit from what I have seen of late.
My advice,avoid C.S. like the plague.Other sites are much more friendly ,as I have discovered.
Pros
Not on there long enough to find out.!
Cons
Too much interference by members who appear to control the site.

Review about ConnectingSinglesIi was there for a short time, saw enough, shocking to see a guy in dubai and his so called 'attractive' (not my type) female trolls in murcia, spain (likes using not accurate or recent photos sitting on a bar and posing like a wannabe but never will be model in a field of flowers) and prague (a flitting 'butterfly'......)accusing a female member of being a lovely lady who left due to insults and insulting mails by this thread man in dubai. i was also attacked by this sly smirky smile faced troll in murcia who quoted my name on the forums and created a blog in my name. Hello! Against the rules and all because it was pointed out nicely in mail she was incorrect about the member. This 'forums thread woman' was viewing my profile every day! Isn't that stalking? Turns out she/he is a player, some members told me she/he is a banned member who returned. All nonsense mind you for someone who claims to have a 'phd' (yeah right) and has too much time online for someone in executive management (don't believe everything people tell you there).
Pros
has potential chatting to people if you don't mind all the 'isms' racism, sexism, age-ism, you name it!
Cons
madness about sums this site up! Not suitable for long term serious relationships, success stories rare!
fake photos (famous people, actors, actresses, models, stolen identities)
trolling
bullying, name calling, fights
poorly moderated
some members go to cs jail for short periods of time so they cannot post, but not all members sent to cs jail for the right reasons
some members get banned and return, not all banned members banned for the right reasons
scammers, many scammers, some scammers are who they say they are but very clever, manipulative
site seems connected to porn sites including teenage porn, worrying
photos can be copied and stolen
broken hearts
Terrible
Review about OurTeenNetworkJust don't be a girl who isn't white oh and show cleavage.
Pros
free
Cons
poor code,poor search,chatroom never works,little to no censorship
Rip off
Review about Cupid.comUnder cupid.com you will be asked to join WildBuddies a part of cupid .com well i took the 3 day trail base for $2.99 they not only charged me for that and i cancelled out the membership the same day i didnt like the site and how it worked they then charged my credit card for 39.99 plus tax and when i have written them several times making threats to take legal action against them if they didnt refund me my $39.99 plus tax back they said you will hear an answer in 72 hours well that was the end of May and i have yet to hear anything or seen a refund so be careful they will double charge you for the 3 day trial offer plus a month also and i best not see another charge on my next statement my back is aware of the non authorization for the 1 month they already stole from me that we will take further action to get back what belongs to me they stole out of my account...BE CAREFUL what you do with cupid.com/WildBuddies.com for they love take what you dont authorize them to have or do and u never ever hear from back the customer service dept again...I have not been back to that site again to hear that i used their site I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED THEY STOLE
Pros
they love to take unauthorize money from your accounts when you cancel out your trial period on the same day you have started
THEY ARE A RIP OFF
Cons
They are a RIP OFF
KEEP YOUR MONEY, IT'S A TOTAL SCAM!!! :(
Review about Flirt.comI joined as a "free member" I had been burned by fling.com. which I totally believe is accociated with flirt.com. Exactly the same b.s. techniques. 3 day free trial period, bla bla bla. Before u "upgrade" your flooded with emails from hot lookng women who come right and say risque things, ie "I'm so horney, I need to get laid now, what ru waiting for" "don't u like me? Am I not good enough for you" etc. etc. I could go on and on. Flirt.com is a total scam. Please save ur money and if u must join a reliable service such as match.com. Personally after these experiances I've such a bad taste in my mouth that I won't spend another dime on any of them. One exception, if ur looking for a sex site where the people are actually real, is Adult Friend Finder.com./ Passion.com. I've been a member for many years, met many people, talked to many ladies on the phone and gotten laid let's say an ample number of times. Aduld Friend Finder orr AFF as it's commonly know in a totally owned subsideray of Penthouse magazine. So, at least your dealing with a well known reputitble entity. Aside from AFF, Match.com and E harmony.com STAY AWAY, KEEP YOUR MONEY unltess you've money to throw away. Mad as hell in Phoenix, Arizona.
Pros
NONE There is no "pro" to Fling.com. They are totally sacmer's and bloodsucker's who want to take ur hard earned money. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE, I HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS STUDYING THESE VARIOUS ONLINE DATING SERVICES. THE ONLY TOTALLY FREE ONE I KNOW OF WHERE U CAN REALLY SEND AND RECEIVE EMAILS IS "P.O.F. Pleanty of fish.com. To the best of my knowldege this is a totally legit site and totally free.
Cons
EVERTHING. This whole Flirt.com and Fling.com is a total con. I want to reiterate that I believe Flirt .com and Fling.com are one in the same. Also avoid anything that is related to the words cupid, or cupid.com any company with Cupid in their name are total scams.
They dont mind using stolen pics
Review about XPress.comI had a friend i just met tell me that he saw my pics all 4 of them that was posted on the site POF listed here and it wasnt me that posted a profile or pics to this site infact until he told me about it i never knew this site existed...BE CAREFUL they dont mind posting false profiles and stolen pics...They did say the deleted my pics/profile when i threatened to take legal action against them for allowing stolen pics and fake profile of mine...
BE CAREFUL...have some look and see if your pics are here without your authorization
Pros
be careful id have some check for your pics on this site
Cons
be careful they will post false pics/profiles
fake fake horrible site
Review about BeNaughtyThis is nothing but spam, spam, and oh did I say SPAM. I had hit after hit of nothing but webcam offers from somewhere. Call this and pay this. Site is way to confusing and hard to navigate. impossible to figure out what is actually happening. The cancellation process is a joke. Not only do you have to do the website and try to find the place to cancell. You have to call a 1800 number to finish it? I am surprised it wasn't a 1900 number. I had to call twice. But the refund? You have to Email that request? Unfortunately I don't ever expect to see my money again. Stay away from this site, and tell every one you know to stay away.
Pros
NONE
Cons
EVERYTHING
Truly not worth it
Review about Large and LovelyI've been a member for about 10 years -- that alone, should tell you something. I bought a lifetime membership when they first were established. It was very inexpensive so I went for it. Over the years, I have received so many messages from men young enough to be my son that I am totally disgusted. Also, lots of scammers -- people who only want to IM or email, because they know you will be able to tell from their accents that they are definitely not who they say they are. I recommend you read a good book instead.
Pros
None
Cons
Ruined by scammers
