This site is horrible if you are female. You are not expected to pay, the SD pays...but the fake profile emails sent to you make you feel like you need to pay to see REAL men and the emails just tempt you to pay to see more.
Most of the single men on the site have no picture but expect YOU to have one.
Profiles are from the polite to the absurd. Guys who want women to wear nice clothes, speak well and behave appropriately according to their terms and have manicured nails and feet. If a woman had enough money to have expensive clothes and nails done on a reg basis they would not be on the site. HELLOOO
Yet these same men think they can defile or abuse women on the site because the woman has less money than he does,
Fake profiles are obvious because what they describe as their WANTS can be completely opposite of the SB's profile description. If a man states he wants a dominant woman, and the woman's profile states she is passive - you know it is BULL when he says he is willing to work with it. SCREW THAT.
There are a bunch of broke, misogynistic men on there and it is sad for the one or two that are nice men.
Pros You get to take a trip into the mind of a seriously sexually screwed up man who wants you to do weird stuff to his junk and accept him for it. Then he goes home and bangs his wife and hugs his kids. Suddenly, you have this "growth" on your coochie.
Sorry, this site really does NOT work. I thought the high price would justify the quality. Having made a lot of effort to write a genuine and thoughtful profile, it's come to no avail. I never actually got a response from any of the women I liked. Occasionally I do, to say no thanks. But that's it.
Now some of these profiles are definitely fake. And there is sadly a high ratio of men, so women have the pick. Plus a lot of them want their ideal. They're way too fussy it seems. And to be honest, to big yourself up in a profile like this is not something most people can do, or would do. Even if they're extremely confident.
So, likely that they'll leave out people that they would have been very happy with
I wish it wasn't the case, but this was so very much a waste of £129.
This one of those 'White label' sites where most of the advertisers didn't join through the same portal as you did - and then grumble that one is married! Certainly has a singles site attached too.
I came across one of lady advertiser's profile that reckoned she had received 2000 replies...the ratio of men to women is so far out as to a non-starter. Avoid. :@
If you want to be flooded with emails from Nigeria from people you don't even know what gender they are, don't have a phone, or their phone is always accidentally broken, by all means waste your money on this site.
when you write to some people,they write back to you appearing to code an email address to write them at.I opened 2 windows,1 for the profile with the email,and 1 to write the email.as fast as i could click send on the email and switch windows to the profile,it was cancelled.also,on another occassion,two completely different people sent me a "coded" email with the SAME EXACT email address to reply to even though they lived 20 miles from each other.profile deleted upon email too.
I just wanted to add something to my earlier review. If you look at the site's terms and conditions, once you upload a photo you grant them approval to use your image however they like. One way they state they can use your image is to "pre-populate" an online dating site. If this isn't evidence that they create "fake" profiles I don't know what is. They are creating a profile for you on a dating site you might not even be a member of, or have signed up with.
Pros Some real profiles
Cons Fake profiles
Unscrupulous site operators
Questionable privacy policies
Expensive
Waste of money
I have been a member (free, not paying) for about 4 years now. I usually go to the chatroom which free members can get into once they receive a message from a paying member. I have made many Japanese friends and even dated an American guy I hit it off with from the site for over a year. The past year and a half I have been distance dating a wonderful Japanese man I met on the site. We got engaged on Children's Day (May 5th) during my visit. Most of the American guys (or actually any gaijin men) I see on the site act really poorly by any woman's standards and certainly are not datable material. I would have to agree with one of the guys that posted a comment here that the men who complain probably fall into the category of undesireable. There are many fake profiles I have witnessed first-hand in the chatroom. But that might be common on any site. The thing to remember is that JapanCupid is a forum for meeting people. It is not a mail order bride site. There is never any guarentee anywhere at anytime that a person will find their soulmate and it is even more unlikely on a dating site where distance dating is involved. Just be realistic about it and understand that distance dating is more difficult than most people can imagine.
Pros A wonderful forum to meet Japanese people and share language exchange. In the chatroom all members can use web cam and mic to prove they are not fake and just have good conversation.
Cons Since it is open to practically anyone there are some very mean and rude people. And fake profiles occassionally.
It is a niche dating and support site, not a social site. So, you can not expect it is completely free.
1. It is free to create a profile and do a quick search.
2. It is free to reply to emails and instant messages from upgraded members.
3. It is free to post at the forum and blog area. By the way, their blog is very active.
4.You can get a refund for your payment later if you are not satisfied with the service.
5. You can delete your profile. It seems neil did not find the link.
Ok so I am a guy on one of the sugar daddy websites.. I have a good job, drive a good car, motorcycle and rent my own apt.. I am not a millionaire but make enough to treat a girl out for dinners, movies, bars etc.. What I want in exchange? - that she hangs out with me and we have some good time together! A serious relationship, sex or anything else would not cross my mind the very first time I meet her! .. I am 25 .. tall and good looking .. However, if you expect me to pay her bills, tuition, rent, shopping etc that's not going to happen ... some "millionaires" could afford to do that but it's unlikely that you find a REAL millionaire on these sites coz i guess they have their own network to get real girls to hang out with them.. I agree that if men are just using women for a one night stand in exchange of dinner, that's not right but the girl has to be smart enough to figure whose right and whose wrong ... the main reason I am on the SD website is coz my work place does not have too many women and since I am a professional working in a male dominant industry, it's hard for me to get access to nice girls ... Guys like me really look forward to meeting genuine girls but also girls who're nice and not just gold diggers!

"Unfortunately, it did not last "annually," as his wife found out after seven months and put the "squeeze" on him. "Dissapation of marital assets replete with paper trail," is not for the faint of heart."
As one financially well off, I think that marriage and abuse of divorce laws produce the biggest gold diggers in the world. There is no bigger gold digger than a married woman. Better for the rich to avoid monogamy or marriage at all costs. I would rather go for a sugar babe with known costs than give a lien on my wealth to a wife with unknown costs and potentially wealth damaging divorce actions.
Also marriage these days don't last long anyway with huge penalties for the man to leave it, so better to go in for arrangements.
IV BEEN ON THIS WEBSITE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND FEEL IV WASTED MY CASH.ONLY A HANDFULL OF MEMBERS WANT TO GET MARRIED MOST ARE THERE TO MAKE FREINDS,MIDNIGHT TEXTERS AND CALLERS ITS NOT REALLY MY CUP OF TEA. DAMMN I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH SHAADI.COM NOT ONLY WAS THE PRICE REASONABLE BUT THE CONTACT WAS AT A GOOD RATE.
WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH MONEY THESE DAYS AND WHEN MY HUSBAND CHECKED HIS EMAIL HE WAS GETTING NOTIFICATIONS. THE SITE ALSO CHANGED HIM, WITHOUT HIM KNOWING, $358. AND CHANGE. THE BANK CANT HELP UNLESS THE POLICE TAKE ACTION. ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM ON THE PROFILE IS RIGHT, CRAZY. HE CALLED THE WEBSITES NUMBER AND IT WAS A RECORDING. WE ARE SO MAD!!!!
If you're gay and into leather, ALT.com is not for you. In my experience (spanning several years), they actively discriminate against gay guys.
What Sam said in his review is 100% correct. If you use their chat system (when it actually works), and head for the guy-for-guy room, you're inundated by 50+ year old often married drag queens. They're not even good drag queens. In fact, most wouldn't pass for men let alone women.
And if you're looking to knock boots with other men, forget it (unless you're looking for confused heterosexual males in high heels). I'm sorry, I just don't find a 63 year old guy in women's clothing attractive -- yet this is who they think guys looking for guys are looking for.
Walk into a bar catering to the all-male BDSM lifestyle and you won't see a guy dressed like a girl in any of the pictures on the walls (or in the porn on the TV screens). Yet this is Various' and now Penthouse Media Group's idea of gay BDSM.
They claim they're a BDSM and Alternative Lifestyles Personals site but that is patently false. They have absolutely no understanding whatsoever about the market. They just want to profit from it. Well, the easiest way to profit is to give your market what they want -- something they refuse to do.
I've had similar experiences to Sam. It's either 20 Questions time or you get harangued for not buying into what is a fetish of heterosexuals. The male for male chatroom is a lie. It's more old drag queens for old drag queens. 90% of them have never met and are never going to meet anyone so why be on a personals site other than to gratify yourself with your hand?
It's a waste of time going there. It's absolutely a waste of money buying a membership there.
Pros Search
Chatrooms
Have met a couple of people
Allegedly caters to straights, bis, gays, lesbians
Cons Don't live up to their hype (I'd even say they falsely advertise)
Never get rid of a profile
Full of transvestites
Ignorant of market needs
Allow hate speech
Arbitrary abuse handling
Rife with fake profiles
Customer Service reps lie

Mistreat and discriminate against gay men
this site was ok for the first 2 days but very slow , i reported a scammer to them who was asking for money right off the bat and was kicked off ,after getting conned into the platnum services . sent numerous emails asking for an explanation , nothing
very poor service ,
guess they need scammers on board to keep there numbers up hey
I'm very leery about japancupid.com's verification process. They want a photo copy of a passport, driver's license, or something official. Copy of passport? This is a fast-track method of having one's identity stolen. Lost American passports typically sell for about $18k on the black market. Terrorist organizations reap the benefits of having formatting information to be sure. Please do not surrender any photo copies of any official documents. Even eHarmony doesn't ask for this kind of information.
Pros Unsure.
Cons The site is based in Queensland Australia, it's called Japancupid.com, and they require passport information(or sensitive), and they're main office for correspondence is linked to a P.O. Box. Sounds great. t(-.-)t
I inadvertently posted this as a comment too.
Foolishly I paid money to join this site. Suddenly all the woman who had supposedly expressed interest in me didn't respond to my messages. I am very suspicious about some of the advertisements. I believe some are real, but the others have been planted by the operators. Given the high prices I cannot even advise trying it out. Having lived in japan as well I can say that the majority of japanese girls aren't interested in gaijin. The ones that are tend to be a little crazy or have some other issues that have meant they have to try and find a gaijin (foreigner) as a last resort. This is a broad stereotype and of course there are exceptions. Don't believe that in general there are lots of hot japanese woman looking for foreign boyfriends. Another problem is they nearly always want to go back to Japan in the long run. Can't believe the bullshit message from the site operator saying that because they are in Australia it is OK. Like there aren't any crooks in Australia. Certainly there is no government regulator that is going to go around and audit them to make sure they aren't creating fake profiles, and sending fake messages of interest.
Avoid this website
Pros Some genuine profiles. Certainly some of the older woman on the site who aren't especially attractive are unlikely to be fake.
Cons Fake profiles, and fake messages. Overpriced. Inflated member numbers, many of the "members" haven't logged in for years. Dodgy privacy issues. Seems to be no way to delete your profile and photos.
Used this for a while and it's not all that great and is rather limited. Many people don't actually pay to use it at all despite all the bumph that you may see on the net.
It is expensive and a con
Pros None
Cons Just wants you to upgrade your membership to talk to people many of whom are fake so buyer beware
We understand your concern however we can assure you that our dating site is legitimate. Our site is owned and operated by CupidMedia Pty Ltd.

Pros On AfroIntroductions.com we take the following actions and measures to minimise a member's exposure to scams and fraud:
* Delete any profile believed to be non-genuine.
* Provide a feedback form for members to provide information about members who ask for money or profiles they are concerned about.
* Provide extensive information regarding how to avoid being scammed in the "IMPORTANT: Sending Money" section located via the main member menu.

On behalf of Muslima.com, we would like to apologise to all of you who may have had a negative experience on the site.
Unfortunately, it is extremely hard for us to verify the real identity or intentions of the members as most dating sites do not require any form of formal identification to register and most members use their private email address to communicate with members. It is very sad that a small minority of dishonest people will make such a negative impression of our site, as the vast majority of the members registered with us are honest.
We do our best to remove these people from our site, deleting any profiles showing dubious photos or information, as soon as we see them, however we also rely on our valued members who kindly report to us any suspect or fake profiles they find on our site.
It is a condition of membership that all people truthfully complete their profile information and the vast majority of people do abide by this however as you can appreciate, it is impossible for us or any other internet based dating site to verify the identity of the people who use its service. However, our company takes extensive measures to prevent non genuine profiles and prevent fraudulent behavior on our sites. These measures include:
* Deleting any profiles believed to be non-genuine.
* Provide a ?report abuse? feedback form for members to provide information about members who ask for money or profiles they are concerned about.
* Provide extensive information regarding how to avoid being scammed in multiple locations on the website, including the member mail system and profile pages.
* Use third party, world-class fraud prevention technology
* Have a dedicated fraud prevention team
If you have encountered a scammer on Muslima.com we would really appreciate it if you could report to us any profiles (with their membership number and any relevant evidence) that you believe are not genuine so we can immediately investigate the situation and take appropriate action.

As one financially well off, I think that marriage and abuse of divorce laws produce the biggest gold diggers in the world. There is no bigger gold digger than a married woman. Better for the rich to avoid monogamy or marriage at all costs.

Review about Muslima.comOn behalf of Muslima.com, we would like to apologise to all of you who may have had a negative experience on the site.
Unfortunately, it is extremely hard for us to verify the real identity or intentions of the members as most dating sites do not require any form of formal identification to register and most members use their private email address to communicate with members. It is very sad that a small minority of dishonest people will make such a negative impression of our site, as the vast majority of the members registered with us are honest.
We do our best to remove these people from our site, deleting any profiles showing dubious photos or information, as soon as we see them, however we also rely on our valued members who kindly report to us any suspect or fake profiles they find on our site.
It is a condition of membership that all people truthfully complete their profile information and the vast majority of people do abide by this however as you can appreciate, it is impossible for us or any other internet based dating site to verify the identity of the people who use its service. However, our company takes extensive measures to prevent non genuine profiles and prevent fraudulent behavior on our sites. These measures include:
* Deleting any profiles believed to be non-genuine.
* Provide a ?report abuse? feedback form for members to provide information about members who ask for money or profiles they are concerned about.
* Provide extensive information regarding how to avoid being scammed in multiple locations on the website, including the member mail system and profile pages.
* Use third party, world-class fraud prevention technology
* Have a dedicated fraud prevention team
If you have encountered a scammer on Muslima.com we would really appreciate it if you could report to us any profiles (with their membership number and any relevant evidence) that you believe are not genuine so we can immediately investigate the situation and take appropriate action.
