Just coming toward the end of my second paid up spell on IE.Fair amount of success last summer,even though there were lots of complete timewasters.Unfortunately this spell has seen even more timewasters,together with the continued presence of last summers timewasters!!.
I believe the site would be vastly improved if women,after a free period of gold membership,had to then somehow qualify their authenticity.Even today,on log-in the same old faces from last summer!,those who didnt acknowledge a message then ,and bet your life wouldnt today.
On a positive note have corresponded and met some real,and genuine people.I have also met some inveterate liars with a whole range of rather worrying baggage!.The cost is quite high but if endless chatters,timewasters and nightfighters could be illiminated (not literally),then it would be fair value
I have been a paying member of this site for a few days.
I am strongly disappointed. I receive lots of interest and lots of messages, all from incredibly beautiful women, but none of them seem able to enter into any type of personal communication. All write much about themselves and how loving and caring they are, and none of them write one single word that has any relevance to me, my profile or my questions.
Now the begging for money has started. Many of them love me incredibly deeply, claim that they will come and visit me, and just need lots of money for the plane ticket, to be sent anonymously by Western Union.
This is a scam nest.
Pros User friendly web site
Lots of pictures of incredibly beautiful women
Cons RussianEuro is filled with scammers. There seems to be almost no sincere persons at all.
This service might have been free at one point but not any longer. True you can set up a free account, but in order to IM etc...you have to pay. I have had these supposed men send me a flirt message and I respond back with no reply at all. Something just doesn't seem right. A spam profile did get through to me as well. I had to block that individual.
Cons everyone can see when you've looked on their profile
This dating site is a complete sham and rip off. Would have to say many profiles aren't real and I would suspect they are paying people. Stay away from this site.
This is the absolute worst site for dating ever! The women are DANGEROUS. First of all they ALL lie...they'll swear they are being truthful...DON'T BELIEVE THEM. If you're in the market for lonely, deparate women who want nothing more than to "hook" someone...this is the place for you. My experience was horrible. I dated a few women whom I thought were normal from our conversations...NOT! First of all, if their profile says average body type...that means VERY OVER WEIGHT. They make POF their profession to hook someone...don't be fooled. Lonely, deparate women who can't meet someone by any other means flock to this site. Guys...hide your wallets!!!
Pros NONE
Cons Women are all liars
Fake Profiles
Site should be called Plenty of Degenerates
Profiles deleted at will with no explanation
(A)
I joined seeking arrangement with good intentions. I have my own money tree, I give to charity, and also help out where I can, so why bother with the site. I remember one lady telling me that it was ok to be on the site and SB is honest etc, but jealous the sugar daddy (me) didnt pick her.(sugar baby)
I meet another lady from the North Island NZ, I live in the South Island and we have been texting for some time, however all I ever hear is "how did I con you and Im honest.( yeah right) send me more money to top up my mobile and I will send you pictures etc.
I never asked for pictures however I did top up once.
One other text was from her boyfriend so she says, and he must have found the phone and texted me dirty slander like I want to s... your c...The SB reply was, I didnt send that text.
Next the SB seems to text a few days later, even after my texts have gone thru.
"could you top up my phone, as Im really having money worries, I work in a part time job and still want to meet you. And the texts usually have simliar wording, like all the men except from the site have treated me bad.
I always have that gut feelong its a man/woman, a police officer, or a person mucking around with text.
Is this person real and if I was to meet up, I feel I would be stood up anyway.
I even brought a small gift as their profile said that they wanted their SD to treat them like a princess, and wanted a certain gift.
I would be really interested if this person is for real or a fake.
Cheers
Andre
Pros Sounds good.
Its worth a try.
Its possible there are a few good woman out their that want their financial problems paid for and in exchange are willing to play the game properly.
Cons When you hear, Im not conning you, or Im honest.
Well all you need to do is open your eyes.
I think when it comes to the crunch point most SB would back off.
Time to rethink what they say in their comments and don't believe everything they say.
I started using the site in mid 2008. After a couple of false starts meeting up with a couple of women, I had a four month arrangement. Sexually fun, but she was as dumb as a bag of rocks, so I ended it. After a few months off I went back and eventually hooked up with a wonderful girl who put up with me for 17 months. The best sex I ever had with anyone, including my wife, and I grew very fond of her. Unfortunately she got too busy with work and school and I ended it after too many cancellations. I went back a month later and within two weeks met up with about 8 girls, all fantastic.
This site is the real deal if YOU'RE the real deal. Otherwise it's a waste of time. I agree that most of the people on the site are phonies.
Pros Lots of girls to choose from. Billing is on a 30-day basis (no automatic rebilling!)
Yeah, getting a lot of fake e-mails. If you reply to these fake e-mails, you get no response. Also may be a phishing scheme as the bots seem to want you to e-mail from outside the site using your private email servers. Beware of this site!!!
Pros Nice interface and well put together website
Cons You can't read incoming messages without subscribing- The better way to handle this is to not allow people to send email until they subscribe. Seems to be alot of BOTS and fake profiles. They need to come up with better defense to bots and provide better verification that a person signing up is real.
Having been on and off IE for the past 18-24 months in both capacities(gold and non gold) one thing stands out and its not that the site is value for money but it appears some female members have a tendency to linger on and linger on and linger on for sometime i could easily name a few but my advice... chat up your nieghbours wife you will at least be talking to a woman and a real person!
I do agree with review written by Chris. There are a lot of bots and fake profiles. You get messages from model like women which is total bs. If the admins cant control bots and fake profiles why waste money? You can go to other low budget websites like plenty of fish.com or ok cupid and its free.
I keep getting emails rom you so i went into the e-mail to delete me from your data base i nearly fell over when i seen my photo (from my face book account) on your site. I can not delet the account as i do not have a pass word. This is Fraud delete the account please or i will go to the media
I subscribed to the website in good faith for 180 days offer. There are very few genuine subscribers. The most female profiles are phoney every now and again I was sent some standard messages by some females, the senders with out even viewing my profile. When I replied to the messages they were never read and were deleted after 10 days. There is no one you can contact, the administrater is some computer and not a real person. I wasted my money and time so please be aware it is officially a SCAM website.
Cons There is a very remote chance of meeting someone genuine.
POF isn't a bad place to get your feet wet if you are leaving a long-term relationship and need to "move on" but don't need/want anything too serious.
I've reached the conclusion that if a person wants to find a serious relationship they shouldn't mind spending a little money for a paid site such as match.com... doing so weeds out quite a few of the men just looking for sex and not much more.
So if you do sign up with a free site such as POF know what you are looking for, communicate that clearly, and be prepared to do a lot of screening!!!!
My personal experience is this... upon re-entering the dating scene after a nearly 20-year hiatus, I needed to move on from my marriage... to be frank, I was looking for an ongoing sexual relationship but I wasn't ready to get deeply emotionally involved with anyone.
I had a lot of interest in my profile from the moment I posted it, and from that I basically screened out the players and the posers as best I could and then ended up meeting with about a dozen guys for coffee or drinks, dinner a couple of times... I was mostly upfront about what I was looking for so that's no doubt why I had so much interest!!! I'm a little above average looking - I'm not ugly but I'm seriously not all that!
I seriously wonder if this is the site to find a long-term serious relationship, I didn't talk to or meet many guys who were seriously looking for that, despite the fact their profile stated that they were looking for a serious relationship. I think the guys say that because that's what they think most women want to hear - so whether or not they are seriously looking for a serious relationship they will list it as such. Then again I stated quite clearly in my profile that I wasn't looking for anything deeply emotional at this time... Note, I stated I was looking for dating and a casual relationship in my profile, but most of the guys who contacted me had what they were looking for as "serious relationship" - so women, screen to find out what they are really looking for!!!!
After about six weeks of cofee/drinks/first dates I met the guy I decided to start something up with... that indescribably something feeling was there (we were strongly attracted to one another) and he was similarly in a transitional point in his life, so.... for about 9-months we served one another - and it was all good.
That eventually ran it's course when he cleared out what was standing in the way of him seeking a serious relationship, while I still have months, if not well over a year or two, to go before I get to that point. Besides, by then I think we both knew we weren't suited to do anything long-term together... just differences in life outlook, so we had an amicable parting and that was that - no regrets.
He was exactly what I needed when I needed it so I could never hate on POF for providing the venue to bring us together! Know what your looking for and be upfront about your needs/wants and expectations and POF may help you find a match.
Pros Good for finding a not-so-serious relationship... it's probably not impossible to find a serious relationship on POF but do know you will have to talk to, and throw back, a lot of "fish" to find the ones who are seriously looking for something long-term. (This is from a woman's perspective.)
Cons POF has a well-deserved reputation as a pick-up site. You need to screen carefully for the broke blokes trying to pose as doing something with their lives when in fact they are not even working full time and are simply of POF looking for sex and a woman to live off of!
Yup. This site, afrointroduction.com and its spin-offs are a mayor rip-off!!
Their members consist of 90% scammers, and the site itself is probably the biggest scam.
While they leave obviously female scammers alone, they make male members pay in order to allow you to send/receive mails, and a couple of days later they simply ban you from the site, without a refund. This is pure swindle!
Avoid person.com, they are scammers.
I've been a member of this website for a couple of weeks, and found that no one really looks at my profile. Some guys just seem to have a glance at my photos and send me inetersts and messages but it's rather annoying to receive dozens of them from people whom I excluded from my wish lists. I understand that nothing will happen without any effort.
In my view as a Japanese girl, many guys here seem to simply fancy Japanese/ Asian girls to be nice and innocent, or sluts in a stereotypical way. But, what do they really want? Job opportunities in Japan or having sex just as they see in Japanese porns in retube? Guys without any good and/ reasonable reasons and amount of effort (invest as someone said) will not find a good match on any dating websites anyway.
Pros I can't tell
Cons As menstioned above.
There are some obvious fake IDs. You should make some friends who can share this kind of information.
My name is Chris, I joined Flirt.com and paid for 6 months of the gold membership. I am very unpleased with the number of fake people or BOTS on the site.The site has not helped me in the search of finding love, it has only hurt my chances. I tried to contact customer support 3 to 4 times, I never recieved any type of responce. DO NOT USE THIS SITE. I am contacting the attorney general in my state for help getting a refund.
Pros There are absolutely no pros.
Cons To many bots. Customer service does not respond.
Trust no one from this site. Be careful, that's my advice. I have had one experience to date, which sexually was very good yet I haven't seen a red cent of money that was supposed to come to me 'next time'. I'm not holding out yet that I won't see my SD again and he will hold up his end of things but I'm pretty sure I got burned. My own fault as I should have asked for money as soon as my panties hit the floor.
Nearly all the men are married are are lying about something, their age, their smoking habits, their wives...whatever. Take everything with a grain of salt, this is the internet, lying is far too easy. Be careful!!! If a man CAN take advantage, you let him, he most likely WILL. There are a few decent men on there I'm sure but you have to search and that's a job in itself.
I had the same thing happen to me that is happening to everybody. I agreed to a 0.50 cents initial credit card check and then I see it is only $15.00 per month and think, what do I have to lose. Let's try it for a month. Then my credit card company's fraud department calls me and asks me if I allowed a charge of $191.40 for a dating service.
At first I tell them that I never used my credit card for that purchase, but when they say, "the charge if for speeddating(dot)com", I have to confess that I did visit that site, but I never agreed to that amount anywhere in my signing up. Then my credit card company tells me that I have to take it up with Speed Date COM and request my money back through them.
So I have tried several times and not luck so far.
I am filing a claim with BBB (Better Business Bureau).
From there I will decide to take them to small claims court, depending on the outcome. I smell a class action lawsuit in the near future. They are bate and switch artists.
They think they can obfuscate their banter as legal lawyers do.This is the same strategies that politicians use when they try to pass a 1000 page bill that nobody can read.
Speak out and file your claim. Wait for the outcome and if it is not in your favor, take them to small claims court! Stand up for your right and practice your rights!
The next step is to file a class action law suit against this Ivy League scammers and get them closed down.

Cons Misleading membership dues. you don\'t know how much you have been duped for until you get the bill!
what a site ,one expects to meet his or her needs but in vain.
Think for those of you who have no success: it is likely that you are of bad luck,because you a)you are not sure of what you are looking for
b)you are not gorgeous enough.
It's difficult to get a grip on Ashley Madison because they have a huge publicity machine that saturates the internet review site with guys claiming to have met women there. Yet I have met many guys in real life who have tried Ashley Madison. Not one has ever obtained a face-to-face contact, much less had an affair. They exchange emails (which the men pay for) and chat online (which the men pay for), but invariably the women break off contact without ever meeting.
Why is this? Be sure to read their Legal Notices and Disclaimers:
"From time to time this service may include, offer, or initiate winks, collect messages or instant chat from Market Researchers (Online Hosts) simulating attached or single men or women. These efforts are conducted for market research and/or customer experience . . . Market Researchers (Online Hosts) will NOT be conspicuously identified."
And that pretty much explains it all.
Pros None.
Cons You have a better chance walking by the seaside with a net, waiting for a mermaid to jump in.
I tried this website. It is full of fake profiles and pictures. They claim they have thousands of members but it is not true. Some activities also made suspecious. They don't allow you to delete pictures once they are posted (think about that for a second). You can hide the pictures but not delete them. In addition, the site is expensive if you are going to trust the administrators with your credit card number (I wouldn't).
Pros None that I can think of.
Cons fake profiles
expensive
suspecious administration
can't delete your own pictures
lies about number of members
I keep hearing from people who received emails from me saying that I friended them on Speeddate. I never did any such thing. Some of these folks aren't even on the site. It's obviously some kind of cookie that's getting into my address book, but I need it to stop before I alienate too many other people. WTF is with this site??
Pros Not one
Cons A complete waste of money and unethical as well.
What a horrible website. There are guys but I can't seem to find them via zip code. And what's worse they expect the females to pay. Don't this website know that us girls are the reason why men visit their website? And when there are so many free websites around, to expect the females to pay to join is ridiculous.
I've met many guys on this website that frankly do not know that being a Sugar Daddy means giving a sugar baby an allowance, and / or pampering a sugar baby with money. Almost 90% of the guys who contacted me wants a committed long term relationship or marriage!!!!
If you're looking for marriage, perhaps you should not join a "Sugar Daddy" website???
Pros None
Cons Poor design
Women must pay
Not enough guys who understand how to be sugar daddies
Not sure where all these bad reviews are coming from. I've met 2 sugar daddies on SeekingArrangement in the two times I have been using the website. It works, and most of the guys are real. I actually met one of the riches man in the world on there, it was actually pretty cool.
I think for those of you who have not had much success, it is likely because (a) you don't know what you are looking for, or (b) you aren't gorgeous enough to be a sugar baby.
And for all those reviews that point to another dating website, I kind of think that is a blatant attempt at promoting your own website. I'd suggest those scheming marketing people to get a life and to try to get actual real coverage for their website by respectable media.
I came across SeekingArrangement while watching 20/20, and I've not regretted that since then. I guess if you have any questions, you can reach out to the founder of the website on Facebook, and he'll probably answer your question personally.
Good luck you sugar seekers.
Pros I found 2 arrangements from the website.
Cons I wish there was a private chat or calling feature on the site.

Review about Seeking Arrangement(A)
I joined seeking arrangement with good intentions. I have my own money tree, I give to charity, and also help out where I can, so why bother with the site. I remember one lady telling me that it was ok to be on the site and SB is honest etc, but jealous the sugar daddy (me) didnt pick her.(sugar baby)

I would be really interested if this person is for real or a fake.

Pros
Sounds good.
Its worth a try.
Its possible there are a few good woman out their that want their financial problems paid for and in exchange are willing to play the game properly.
Cons
When you hear, Im not conning you, or Im honest.
Well all you need to do is open your eyes.
I think when it comes to the crunch point most SB would back off.
Time to rethink what they say in their comments and don't believe everything they say.

In my view as a Japanese girl, many guys here seem to simply fancy Japanese/ Asian girls to be nice and innocent, or sluts in a stereotypical way. But, what do they really want? Job opportunities in Japan or having sex just as they see in Japanese porns in retube? Guys without any good and/ reasonable reasons and amount of effort (invest as someone said) will not find a good match on any dating websites anyway.
Pros
I can't tell
Cons
As menstioned above.
There are some obvious fake IDs. You should make some friends who can share this kind of information.
FLIRT.COM DO NOT USE!
Review about Flirt.comMy name is Chris, I joined Flirt.com and paid for 6 months of the gold membership. I am very unpleased with the number of fake people or BOTS on the site.The site has not helped me in the search of finding love, it has only hurt my chances. I tried to contact customer support 3 to 4 times, I never recieved any type of responce. DO NOT USE THIS SITE. I am contacting the attorney general in my state for help getting a refund.
Pros
There are absolutely no pros.
Cons
To many bots. Customer service does not respond.
Be Leery
Review about Seeking ArrangementTrust no one from this site. Be careful, that's my advice. I have had one experience to date, which sexually was very good yet I haven't seen a red cent of money that was supposed to come to me 'next time'. I'm not holding out yet that I won't see my SD again and he will hold up his end of things but I'm pretty sure I got burned. My own fault as I should have asked for money as soon as my panties hit the floor.
Nearly all the men are married are are lying about something, their age, their smoking habits, their wives...whatever. Take everything with a grain of salt, this is the internet, lying is far too easy. Be careful!!! If a man CAN take advantage, you let him, he most likely WILL. There are a few decent men on there I'm sure but you have to search and that's a job in itself.
Good luck ladies!
Cons
Sleezeball douchebags.
SpeedDating
Review about SpeedDate.comI had the same thing happen to me that is happening to everybody. I agreed to a 0.50 cents initial credit card check and then I see it is only $15.00 per month and think, what do I have to lose. Let's try it for a month. Then my credit card company's fraud department calls me and asks me if I allowed a charge of $191.40 for a dating service.
At first I tell them that I never used my credit card for that purchase, but when they say, "the charge if for speeddating(dot)com", I have to confess that I did visit that site, but I never agreed to that amount anywhere in my signing up. Then my credit card company tells me that I have to take it up with Speed Date COM and request my money back through them.
So I have tried several times and not luck so far.
I am filing a claim with BBB (Better Business Bureau).
From there I will decide to take them to small claims court, depending on the outcome. I smell a class action lawsuit in the near future. They are bate and switch artists.
They think they can obfuscate their banter as legal lawyers do.This is the same strategies that politicians use when they try to pass a 1000 page bill that nobody can read.
Speak out and file your claim. Wait for the outcome and if it is not in your favor, take them to small claims court! Stand up for your right and practice your rights!
The next step is to file a class action law suit against this Ivy League scammers and get them closed down.

lover from (ASIA)
Review about Find a Asian Loverwhat a site ,one expects to meet his or her needs but in vain.
Think for those of you who have no success: it is likely that you are of bad luck,because you a)you are not sure of what you are looking for
b)you are not gorgeous enough.
Pros
none
Read the Fine Print
Review about Ashley MadisonIt's difficult to get a grip on Ashley Madison because they have a huge publicity machine that saturates the internet review site with guys claiming to have met women there. Yet I have met many guys in real life who have tried Ashley Madison. Not one has ever obtained a face-to-face contact, much less had an affair. They exchange emails (which the men pay for) and chat online (which the men pay for), but invariably the women break off contact without ever meeting.
Why is this? Be sure to read their Legal Notices and Disclaimers:
"From time to time this service may include, offer, or initiate winks, collect messages or instant chat from Market Researchers (Online Hosts) simulating attached or single men or women. These efforts are conducted for market research and/or customer experience . . . Market Researchers (Online Hosts) will NOT be conspicuously identified."
And that pretty much explains it all.
Pros
None.
Cons
You have a better chance walking by the seaside with a net, waiting for a mermaid to jump in.
website review
Review about Muslima.comI tried this website. It is full of fake profiles and pictures. They claim they have thousands of members but it is not true. Some activities also made suspecious. They don't allow you to delete pictures once they are posted (think about that for a second). You can hide the pictures but not delete them. In addition, the site is expensive if you are going to trust the administrators with your credit card number (I wouldn't).
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
fake profiles
expensive
suspecious administration
can't delete your own pictures
lies about number of members
Speeddate.com - Cookies?
Review about SpeedDate.comI keep hearing from people who received emails from me saying that I friended them on Speeddate. I never did any such thing. Some of these folks aren't even on the site. It's obviously some kind of cookie that's getting into my address book, but I need it to stop before I alienate too many other people. WTF is with this site??
Pros
Not one
Cons
A complete waste of money and unethical as well.
Horrible Horrible website
Review about SugarDaddie.comWhat a horrible website. There are guys but I can't seem to find them via zip code. And what's worse they expect the females to pay. Don't this website know that us girls are the reason why men visit their website? And when there are so many free websites around, to expect the females to pay to join is ridiculous.
I've met many guys on this website that frankly do not know that being a Sugar Daddy means giving a sugar baby an allowance, and / or pampering a sugar baby with money. Almost 90% of the guys who contacted me wants a committed long term relationship or marriage!!!!
If you're looking for marriage, perhaps you should not join a "Sugar Daddy" website???
Pros
None
Cons
Poor design
Women must pay
Not enough guys who understand how to be sugar daddies
It's the best
Review about Seeking ArrangementNot sure where all these bad reviews are coming from. I've met 2 sugar daddies on SeekingArrangement in the two times I have been using the website. It works, and most of the guys are real. I actually met one of the riches man in the world on there, it was actually pretty cool.
I think for those of you who have not had much success, it is likely because (a) you don't know what you are looking for, or (b) you aren't gorgeous enough to be a sugar baby.
And for all those reviews that point to another dating website, I kind of think that is a blatant attempt at promoting your own website. I'd suggest those scheming marketing people to get a life and to try to get actual real coverage for their website by respectable media.
I came across SeekingArrangement while watching 20/20, and I've not regretted that since then. I guess if you have any questions, you can reach out to the founder of the website on Facebook, and he'll probably answer your question personally.
Good luck you sugar seekers.
Pros
I found 2 arrangements from the website.
Cons
I wish there was a private chat or calling feature on the site.
