Don't waste your money or time!
Pros none

I joined this site,to find all of the so called girls live in Ghana, this must be scammers paradise over there,I've received many messages that not one of them lives here in the U.S., im hoping to get my subscription cancelled.im disappointed that there cannot be a better control over these types of sites who make dating look so easy. They use other women's pics to deceive the guy who is seriously wanting a true relationship, this is extortion maybe I should start a site and scam people out of their money, but to me its not American to do that to other people, these scammers have no moral values, sitting behind they're pcs and generating money from unsuspecting singles who want real love,I think we should go back to the old ways of dating in the 80s when you really had to be in person and really work to get a date,as long as we have the net its not going to get any better,[email protected] for reading this.
Hi, i was referred to this site by a friend who is now happily married. I have tried it and it worked for me too, i hope to get married too soon. Thanks.
Note:
Not all African girls here are scamers or opportunist, we just want something new and out of our cultures. Hey men out there, take your time, there are real nice women in Africa.
Pros You get to know so many people from all over the world. Choice is variety.
C-Date is such an obvious put-up for a scam, it's a disgrace that any so-called review sites give it any credit at all.
I received a variety of solicited and unsolicited responses from the 'girls', all of which I deemed to be not-genuine. The text was impersonal standardised gibberish, and those that were responses made no reference to the email that they were allegedly a response to. The average attractiveness of the women was also suspiciously high.
The real gotcha comes when it comes to cancel. You need to fax them a signed letter detailing your cancellation. This is obviously unnecessarily difficult and smacks of a scam.
Avoid at all costs.
Pros None.
Cons No genuine female users;
Bots or cheap labour create emails and responses;
Unnecessarily difficult cancellation procedure.
I was sceptical at first, but I am really happy with several of the girls I have met on this site. I've been on 5a first dates so far and I plan on seeing three of them again.
At first, I thought the concept was extremely superficial...but then it kind of dwned on my that women have been screening for success, wealth and generosity since the beginning of time. This concept is only a little less subtle.
Even though I am a confident, successful and attractive guy, I always have trouble getting noticed on most websites. Not here. Most girls I like on the site check on my profile and give me a shot if I offer $100 for our first date, although one (who is now my favorite one after our first date) counteroffered $150.
Two of the girls I met weren't for me. Two are genuinely attracted to me and want to go out again. My favorite one is going out with me again this Friday.
Being a guy, I am used to paying for dating. This concept may seem repulsive at first, but it has saved me a lot of time and has landed me some awesome dates.
Pros I get quality dates most of the time.
Cons You have to sort through some materialistic girls to find the good ones
Well marketed site which has gone past its sell by date, other sites are doing it better so it now is using sex workers to draw in the punters.
The same old female names & profile Nos (eg 280455, 306778 - there are many others though) are there time and again sending out messages to new members to encourage them to pay to read the messages.
I was wondering the same thing. I don't know how they got my info and made me a member and then started sending me alerts telling me that sexy babes had emailed me or wanted to chat. The first thing that aroused my suspicion that was these girls were ALWAYS on line. I am pretty sure it is just a scam to get you to give your credit card number in order to read these emails and try to contact these babes who were so interested in you just to find that you had been duped. How sad that people would operate at such a low slim level to make a buck.
I just tried to share my concerns with World singles which is the parent organization to Iranain Personals. They have a section where you can leave a review. It was shocking to see that they first review and approve your review before posting it . Of course mine was not approved because of its critical nature. So, what kind of review would it be if it's approved first and only posted if positive. I think this site runs a dictatorship and it wouldn't surprise me if it's affiliated with Iranian government. Their policies and tactics appear very much similar!
I was a member on this site for a while. Soon, it became abvious that there is no real monitoring of who is on this site and what they're doing. Most people have multiple profiles which apparently the operators of this site know and condone. Most lie on their profile. There are lots of members who use abusive and profane language. The administration keep a closed eye on all of this as long as they make their money and get their traffic. Let's face it there aren't that many other alternatives for the Iranians who are interested in dating Iranians!
However there have been some very ominous signs which really point to how callous and irresponsible this site is. A site that shelters predators and cons and facilitates them to prey on other unsuspecting members should not exist and Iranian Personal is such site. I personally had an experience which confirmed it. I came across a profile that caught my attention. When I reviewed it I discovered that it was an old profile which had received extreme make-over. I know the man behind the profile. He had dated several women, some of whom I know closely. He is a dangerous player who uses women any way he can. Everything about him is a lie. He's ruined many lives and shattered many more spirits. This 54 y/o married man with 2 kids portrayed had re-invented himself as a 41 y/o single guy with no kids and no previous marriage. It's interesting that he had not even bothered to create a new profile and just changed his nickname ( which the system wouldn't allow you to do if you are not a paying member but he is!) and his personal descriptions. I contacted the administration and reported him for fabrication and gave them a background history of how he has been on this site for years and operated under different profiles preying on women. I reminded them that it was their ethical and social obligation to stop him. Not only Iranian Personals administration didn't take it seriously, they also ended my membership to shut me up. They response was that they had no ethical obligation to investigate just because I said so. They said that it was my responsibility to prove my allegations but wouldn't tell me what kind of proof they needed. When I insisted, they wouldn't let me log in. They did it without any warning. They stopped responding to my emails. I know that another woman called them a few months ago and explained to them how this man had tricked her and extorted thousands of dollars from her, how he was still married and used this site to prey on hopeful and naive women and again Iranian Personal did not take any action what so ever.
So it's become clear that this site does not care about the safety and well-being of its members and facilitates predators roam free on this site and prey on other members. It does not take the concerns of its members seriously and even ends their memberships abruptly if they dare raise a concern or expect an action.
My advice to everyone is:"IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING, STAY AWAY FROM IRANIAN PERSONALS, RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK". You'll save yourself lots of trouble and possibly much more by staying off this site.
Pros None what-so-ever
Cons Refer to my comments. Believe me this site is all cons.
i haven't paid and like the first two guys am getting a lot of attention . ive always been Leary of these dating sites , dozens of young , attractive women practically throwing themselves at me . yeah in my dreams , maybe lol.
I admit, the concept is pretty risque. I was skeptical, I wanted to find a date, not go into escorting service. But living in NYC, dating is EXPENSIVE. Cabs to and fro, and dinner in the city is pretty pricey. I was tired of the flakes and men on other sites who were not meeting my expectations and draining my wallet from all the effort it took me to get to our dates. My friend suggested WhatsYourPrice.com, she actually found her ex-boyfriend on their, and is still using it to find dates. What happens is, guys who are legitimately interested in you will make an offer on a first date for you. If I feel like I may have a connection with someone, I will accept the offer, but only ask for enough to make it worthwhile (like cab fare, new outfit, etc). Some of these guys I would maybe not have give then time of day to in a normal setting, but was able to get to know some great guys through whatsyourprice.com. I have gone out on 6 first dates, and getting ready to go on my 6th date with one of them. I am very happy with this site and would recommend it to any girl who isn't happy with other sites.
Pros Most people are genuine, and actually want to get to know you.
Cons There are few creeps, just like anywhere else, be smart though and don't put up with people's crap.
I think the 2 previous reviewers were spot on for covering the male experience on the site but I thought it would be fair to give a female perspective since there isn't one on here.
If you are a woman looking for NSA/FB encounters AFF will change your life. If you think you want to start off with an NSA and then eventually turn it into a relationship, I don't think this site is for you.
There was a serious learning curve when it came to AFF but here are the pertinent points:
Fill out your profile. Make a list of the 3-5 most important things to you in a FB. Post them. Post sexy photos. Wait, surf profiles, and send messages when you like someone's profile.
Don't respond to the angry hate mail or 2 word/1 sentence emails. If at any point in your communications or profile perusing you get an odd feeling about someone, just disappear. They'll be others, I promise and you'll be saving yourself from a whole lot of crazy. The good ones make themselves known, clearly. Weeding through the chaff takes a lot of time but the rewards, oh the rewards, are so worth it.
The world is generally more accessible to the attractive but moreso on a sex site. I'm an attractive gal but I have never been so visually satisfied with my bedfellows than when I was on that site. Now that I'm regular dating again, it is with a sigh that I relinquish the sight of washboard abs and strong jawlines from a daily basis to a couple times a year occasion... and remind myself that kindness (which was definitely lacking on that site) counts for a heck of a lot more. I was looking a little above my rating on AFF but not leaps and bounds over. Reality should still play some part of your expectations for your AFF finds.
Most of the men I met with exceeded everything I ever thought I'd want in a lover but even they had horror stories of pretty but insane women and women with unreasonable expectations. The site is overrun with pros and webcam girls so the few real girls are in high demand. The attractive real ones can have a ball if they have the fortitude and patience to weed through all the junk and a thick skin to get through the sheer insanity of it all.
Pros If you are realistic about the female soul sucking nature of NSA relationships and you are still sure you want to do it, you can meet seriously attractive, intelligent, and skilled men.
Allows you to pre-screen a little bit better than with beer goggles on in a bar.
Can be free if you are attractive/in demand.
Cons Guys don't try to trade up on this site. Otherwise you are going to be very disappointed (If the hotness of the girl matters THAT much to you, hire a pro. If a woman wouldn't go out on a normal date with you why on earth would she be willing to have an NSA arrangement with you, for free?) Ladies, don't try to trade up too high, either. The world unfortunately still revolves around youth and beauty, free sex or no.
I don't think anyone besides a hard core sex addict could survive on that site for long. For a woman, it is difficult to remind yourself that ultimately your feelings don't matter. It is only ever about sex.
The site blocks and loses messages all the time. Repeated attempts to trade email addresses can be frustrating, but if they are that hot, keep trying.
Be wary of autorenew. I swore I turned off the auto renew feature more than once and I got renewed for 2 subscription rounds anyway. By the 3rd, it stuck and I was able to shift back down to a free account.
girls who winked or tried to contact me before i paid to join now do not respond when i try to reply to them even when they are online.i wonder if they were really interested or was this just a gimmick to get me to become a paid member.
Pros it would be good if women who flirt with u r real and reply
Cons i haven't made contact with anyone,as many as ten,who winked,flirted or tried to contact me before i paid for plantinum membership
complete con job. signed up for 3 month trial period and they are billing me for a YEAR. Even after cancelling and deactivating the account I am getting billed. This is a total fraud. Do not sign up.
You get heaps of attention, as soon as your a member...you get nothing. The girls that have been sending messages are there, online will will not make contact after joining.
Pros It would be good if it was realistic, no fake profiles
Its entirely down to luck that you happen to get in touch with a woman who is actively seeking partners. Its best that she is relatively new, still finding her feet, and still interested in the potential for sex.
Once she has settled in for the long haul she will either turn to exploiting any angles she learns to use; or simply doze off and become one of the many dreamers who clutter up the site.
The women who you are most likely to be successful with tend to be transients. They will use the site for a limited period of time, have real affairs and then just as mysteriously as they arrive, they vanish back to their married life. Having proved that they still can and will do it if they need to.
Those that remain are sex workers, gold diggers, site commission seekers, dreamers, feckless dabblers, revenge seekers and those who unfortunately have mental health issues.
Obviously staying on the site to find new partners can become expensive. Creating false id's and such like doesn't really help. You still need to get out and find those women and they will only be ready when it suits them. That unfortunately is entirely down to luck that you coincide with their visits.
Give it a go if you can afford it. But to be honest you have more likelihood of meeting women if you join an amateur activity, voluntary or charity organisation. Women prefer to find men in their element.
The site is no worse than any other commercial site. They all have techniques to get customers. IE does have some genuine women on it.
Pros If lucky and you make the right effort you will do okay.
Cons The collections of those mentioned as being the ones to avoid.
This site is a complete rip off. You get messages from people who are inactive 10 minutes later. Lots of women trying to con you to join other sites and even women saying they would like you to pay for their services. Surely thats prostitution even on an affair site. Dont waste your money
Pros None whatsoever
Cons Its all a big con as the site links with other sites that have no interest in marital affairs at all
It is possible to meet folk from this site who are what they say they are and are seeking what they say, however as said there are an awful lot of scammers & wierdos.
But do remember that folk who use this site are by nature cheaters and by the nature of there presence liers to at least someone, there is no reason to assume that the same will not apply to the interactions that you will have.
Perhaps the most honest are those that say they want a casual relationshio or friendship.
Many (perhaps greater than 50%) will indicate they are stuck in a stale relationship & seeking a 1 2 1 longterm relationship, it is in this setting that experience shows care & cold judgement must be used. Several things can be encountered
- the meat collector - does not have the honesty to admit they seek sequential new meat will make out they only recently joined the site will talk the talk but do not really make the effort for a longterm thing, then move on to the next chase.
- the pure scammer - is after money or similar - will spin a story after period of time that they need so much £ then they can change there situtation
I would suggest that any man using the site browses it for several weeks before joining so they can work out who the chatters / players and scammers are, do pay attention to the membership No, they are issued in sequence so the lower numbers mean they have been a member for longer - most successful folk will use the site to meet someone then leave it well alone so if someone has an 'old' number despite what the profile words may say they are a chatter / player / scammer. Another way is to us the 'way back when machine' (google it - but its old copies of the site).
Pros Some women are what they say but very very few,
Cons Its a site for cheaters so expect lots of lies & good actors. by the time you take out the scammers / chatters / players very very few are what they say they are
Anyone with a membership No starting 2 / 3/ 4/ 5 are serial players if there after casual that fits, otherwise steer clear - there is a reason they are still on there
Without going into inappropriate detail, I have met and very much enjoyed the company of a number of ladies via this site! I've been a member on and off for a few years.
Any dating site attracts fools and weirdos as well as people looking for the same thing as you. Because women can join Illicit Encounters for free, some are tyre-kickers or are just looking for a friend.
I use the message system a lot and weed out women I'm not interested in, or who just want cyber-chat or a shoulder to cry on. The ones I want to meet, I set up a meeting as soon as they're comfortable and take it "off-site" and go from there.
I get good results by being polite and respectful but cheeky, not moaning or being overtly sexual. I don't bother with the whole virtual gifts thing - my aim is to meet beautiful women as soon as possible, not flirt on the internet.
I think you get what you put in, and the high price keeps out the riff raff.
Pros Some beautiful & genuine women looking for an affair or a no-strings meet-up join this site.
High price keeps out wannabes, waverers and fools
Cons Some women on the site are not beautiful or genuine and/or not looking for an affair or a no-strings meet up. Don't allow them to waste your time.

Most of the men I met with exceeded everything I ever thought I'd want in a lover but even they had horror stories of pretty but insane women and women with unreasonable expectations. The site is overrun with pros and webcam girls so the few real girls are in high demand. The attractive real ones can have a ball if they have the fortitude and patience to weed through all the junk and a thick skin to get through the sheer insanity of it all.
Pros
If you are realistic about the female soul sucking nature of NSA relationships and you are still sure you want to do it, you can meet seriously attractive, intelligent, and skilled men.
Allows you to pre-screen a little bit better than with beer goggles on in a bar.
Can be free if you are attractive/in demand.
Cons
Guys don't try to trade up on this site. Otherwise you are going to be very disappointed (If the hotness of the girl matters THAT much to you, hire a pro. If a woman wouldn't go out on a normal date with you why on earth would she be willing to have an NSA arrangement with you, for free?) Ladies, don't try to trade up too high, either. The world unfortunately still revolves around youth and beauty, free sex or no.
I don't think anyone besides a hard core sex addict could survive on that site for long. For a woman, it is difficult to remind yourself that ultimately your feelings don't matter. It is only ever about sex.
The site blocks and loses messages all the time. Repeated attempts to trade email addresses can be frustrating, but if they are that hot, keep trying.
Be wary of autorenew. I swore I turned off the auto renew feature more than once and I got renewed for 2 subscription rounds anyway. By the 3rd, it stuck and I was able to shift back down to a free account.
is it real

Cons

con job
Review about BDSM Singlescomplete con job. signed up for 3 month trial period and they are billing me for a YEAR. Even after cancelling and deactivating the account I am getting billed. This is a total fraud. Do not sign up.
Pros
none.
Cons
complete con job.
Scam
Review about CheekyLoversYou get heaps of attention, as soon as your a member...you get nothing. The girls that have been sending messages are there, online will will not make contact after joining.
Pros
It would be good if it was realistic, no fake profiles
Cons
The whole thing
If you are lucky
Review about Illicit EncountersIts entirely down to luck that you happen to get in touch with a woman who is actively seeking partners. Its best that she is relatively new, still finding her feet, and still interested in the potential for sex.
Once she has settled in for the long haul she will either turn to exploiting any angles she learns to use; or simply doze off and become one of the many dreamers who clutter up the site.
The women who you are most likely to be successful with tend to be transients. They will use the site for a limited period of time, have real affairs and then just as mysteriously as they arrive, they vanish back to their married life. Having proved that they still can and will do it if they need to.
Those that remain are sex workers, gold diggers, site commission seekers, dreamers, feckless dabblers, revenge seekers and those who unfortunately have mental health issues.
Obviously staying on the site to find new partners can become expensive. Creating false id's and such like doesn't really help. You still need to get out and find those women and they will only be ready when it suits them. That unfortunately is entirely down to luck that you coincide with their visits.
Give it a go if you can afford it. But to be honest you have more likelihood of meeting women if you join an amateur activity, voluntary or charity organisation. Women prefer to find men in their element.
The site is no worse than any other commercial site. They all have techniques to get customers. IE does have some genuine women on it.
Pros
If lucky and you make the right effort you will do okay.
Cons
The collections of those mentioned as being the ones to avoid.
Marital affair, no way
Review about Marital Affair.co.ukThis site is a complete rip off. You get messages from people who are inactive 10 minutes later. Lots of women trying to con you to join other sites and even women saying they would like you to pay for their services. Surely thats prostitution even on an affair site. Dont waste your money
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
Its all a big con as the site links with other sites that have no interest in marital affairs at all
take care
Review about Illicit EncountersIt is possible to meet folk from this site who are what they say they are and are seeking what they say, however as said there are an awful lot of scammers & wierdos.
But do remember that folk who use this site are by nature cheaters and by the nature of there presence liers to at least someone, there is no reason to assume that the same will not apply to the interactions that you will have.
Perhaps the most honest are those that say they want a casual relationshio or friendship.
Many (perhaps greater than 50%) will indicate they are stuck in a stale relationship & seeking a 1 2 1 longterm relationship, it is in this setting that experience shows care & cold judgement must be used. Several things can be encountered
- the meat collector - does not have the honesty to admit they seek sequential new meat will make out they only recently joined the site will talk the talk but do not really make the effort for a longterm thing, then move on to the next chase.
- the pure scammer - is after money or similar - will spin a story after period of time that they need so much £ then they can change there situtation
I would suggest that any man using the site browses it for several weeks before joining so they can work out who the chatters / players and scammers are, do pay attention to the membership No, they are issued in sequence so the lower numbers mean they have been a member for longer - most successful folk will use the site to meet someone then leave it well alone so if someone has an 'old' number despite what the profile words may say they are a chatter / player / scammer. Another way is to us the 'way back when machine' (google it - but its old copies of the site).
Pros
Some women are what they say but very very few,
Cons
Its a site for cheaters so expect lots of lies & good actors. by the time you take out the scammers / chatters / players very very few are what they say they are
Anyone with a membership No starting 2 / 3/ 4/ 5 are serial players if there after casual that fits, otherwise steer clear - there is a reason they are still on there
Good value if you put the effort in
Review about Illicit EncountersWithout going into inappropriate detail, I have met and very much enjoyed the company of a number of ladies via this site! I've been a member on and off for a few years.
Any dating site attracts fools and weirdos as well as people looking for the same thing as you. Because women can join Illicit Encounters for free, some are tyre-kickers or are just looking for a friend.
I use the message system a lot and weed out women I'm not interested in, or who just want cyber-chat or a shoulder to cry on. The ones I want to meet, I set up a meeting as soon as they're comfortable and take it "off-site" and go from there.
I get good results by being polite and respectful but cheeky, not moaning or being overtly sexual. I don't bother with the whole virtual gifts thing - my aim is to meet beautiful women as soon as possible, not flirt on the internet.
I think you get what you put in, and the high price keeps out the riff raff.
Pros
Some beautiful & genuine women looking for an affair or a no-strings meet-up join this site.
High price keeps out wannabes, waverers and fools
Cons
Some women on the site are not beautiful or genuine and/or not looking for an affair or a no-strings meet up. Don't allow them to waste your time.
High price!
