How About We

I feel totally violated

I hope and pray that whomever is reading this is reading it before you join. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my research and I am in total disbelief about how this company works. I really don't think the potential daters that you see photos of really exists. I don't want to brag or sound conceited however I know that I would spark a little interest with almost any woman especially in my age group however I didn't get one real response from this site. As soon as I noticed that it appears that no one is really using this "How about we, I called to cancel this membership that boasts that you can cancel with no problem only to find out that's not at all true. What terrible waste of money and time. I was even more disappointed with the level of customer service I received from the customer service manager........PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE AND THIS COMPANY............................

Pros
ABSOLUTELY NONE.....SERIOUSLY....

Cons
THE WHOLE COMPANY IS A CON

Scam Site Bait and Switch

The free membership allows you to post a profile. You will be contacted with fake profiles of beautiful women but in order to reply you need to pay for a membership.
Once you sign up you realize that these women are not real. They "contacted me" and I replied. The only legitimate contact I get is from old, fat or otherwise hideous women.

OK

I went on 2 dates, and both women were just like in their photos. One older woman still went out with my for coffee, even though I told her upfront I was looking for someone younger. She was cool, an we had a nice discussion for an hour. I thought she was pretty, but again, I like younger women. The second date was a fairly attractive woman who owner a beauty salon, but was so rude and full of herself, I cancelled my membership.

Pros
Worth a try, if you don't mind spending a little for the memebership and don't expect too much.

Cons
I will state that I am at best an average, fit looking guy in his 40's. I am use to travelling to Mexico and dating attractive latinas in their 20's. They don't have the attitude that some American women have.

I will probably stick with that.

bait & switch scam!!!

when we signed up for the Couples membership, it was clearly stated that we can hold/cancel membership at any time. however, this is a lie -- despite multiple emails to the management requesting to cancel and attempts to dispute the CC charges, HAW dutifully charges our card $18 on a monthly basis and steals our money.

Pros
none

Cons
scam -- cannot cancel the membership and get the refund.

customer service doesn't exist.

Scam in all likelihood

I'm waiting to see a site go up where I don't know intuitively and factually it's a scam. I haven't found it yet. How About We is one of those scammy-looking sites.

1. Photos are there. BUT, are they real?
2. It took a day before someone replied to my profile. However, if I was interested in her, I'd have to pay to see her profile. I didn't trust it.
3. I didn't expect many people in my area to exist, so I expanded the search area and that's fine.
4. But what is not ever going to be okay with me is to pay to email someone who probably is a figment of a programmer's or web designer's imagination.

With that you know the Pros and Cons and I would strongly recommend not even signing on to the site - they collect data that way.

Don't do it

I have tried this site for two months now. I have talked with four different men and each one of them tried to get me to send them money each with a different story. Nothing but a bunch of con artists. I am glad I am an intelligent woman some of these men are real good and must make it their career to try to con women.

Pros
None

Cons
Nothing but liars

Scam

They create fake profiles. They send you and email saying he/she is asking you out on a date...but that profile, that person doesn't exist.
They just want you to sign in.

Horrible costumer service. Very unreliable, no honesty.

Cons
many

Refund

Refunds are non-existent, and good luck trying to get off of their site. It is almost impossible to unenroll. They owe me over $90.

Cons
Nonexisten customer support

Scam

Provided necessary name , password and credit card info. Now cannot enter web site.

5 months, no date

Well I thought this sounded like a great idea....5 months later about 2 e-mails responded to and not one date....a lot of wasted time,

Pros
Looks like a great idea.

Cons
No one responds. No dates and hardly any messages.

Horrible Ripoff!

Everything Brenda Barr wrote (above) is true. Terrible, non-existent "customer service." They don't respond to problems or requests for refunds in a timely manner; as a matter of fact, I believe they intentionally took their time in responding so as to make sure I was beyond the period they state wherein I was eligible for a refund (which, by the way, is only like a 2-day period after signing up -- impossible to know whether it's a good service in such a time).

I will also be contacting the NY Attorney General about this scam called "How About We." More like "How About We" figured out a way to take people's money on a recurring basis without providing anything of value in return.

Pros
Can't think of any.

Cons
They're unethical in their business practices. Period. Save your money!

Pathetic

I signed up for a membership in January after seeing it on the national news. Same faces, no one new. Same old online dating. The worst part is that I canceled my membership and they still charged my account. 3 e-mails and all I get is an automated response. I have e-mailed NBC news and now will e-mail the Attorney General of NY. There is no physical address or phone number to actually contact someone.

Cons
Don't waste your time. The one man I met, smelled like he hadn't bathed in a week.

Not a worthwhile investment

Howaboutwe.com is a nice idea, but so far, of 14 people that I've contacted, only 2 have even been able to read my messages. It's a lot of the same faces, over and over, and not a very good match potential when a date is on the horizon.

Overall, it's simply not worth the money.

disappointing

Sounds new and different but just like all the others, had more dates from a match.com account in a month than howaboutwe in 3 months. Plus the mobile site is terribly hard to use.

Pros
Apparently kate upton lives in Denver is bi and has a howaboutwe account, hahaha.

Cons
No way to tell if the profile you are sending messages to is a free or paid for account that will actually get the message, they claim to have a filter but its bogus. Three replies in 3 months

No response for a purchase

I ordered basketball tickets for 4/4 and the name on my tickets is some name that I have no idea of, it's not my correct info. I tried calling, writing and no response. This is unacceptable, and unprofessional. I just want the info corrected or my money Back. I spent $65 for the tickets.

Cons
No communication

Dissapointing

No smilies. I really thought that maybe if I stopped being so cheap and actually paid for a dating site that maybe I would have better luck meeting people. I thought how about we would be legit...wrong :( I have received few responses and the ones I have received have been straight nut jobs or flakes...SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!! With the 30 dollars I spent just trying a month, I could have bought myself a nice dress and actually had gone out to meet people.

Pros
Absolutely none...the maker of this site needs to go back to the drawing board

Cons
fake profiles, weirdo men,

WORTHLESS

This site matched me with a few men the first week, ...then NONE. No activity whatsoever. The few times someone actually posted a "like" to one of my dates in the generic 'no-pay' membership responses, they NEVER responded when I wrote to them. There are only the same 10 men over 50 that are on the site, and I posted interest for 500 miles out!

Pros
None

Cons
Everything else

POOR website and very poor customer service

what a waste of time and money,what was I thinking ?????

Pros
none

DO NOT USE THE COUPLES PRODUCT IF YOU LOVE YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

HowAboutWe does NOT deliver on their couples product and RUINED my girlfriends birthday party. The company did provide a refund except when I did it again for our Anniversary they fucked up again. It's not a legit dating site. The site LOOKS good but underneath is a total scam and they will totally fuck up your relationship. You want to ruin your gf's life with their bullshit.

Stay away from the couples product.

Pros
Looks good. Did refund some money.

Cons
Very bad at couples product - deals are faked and aren't real the two times I went. Other people have had similar experiences.

good in theory, but doesn't work

For people who are either lazy or don't want to bother. It's easy on one hand, but then do you want to meet someone who doesn't want to put in the effort to even write a simple message and post more than a sentence? This was a waste of money and time.

How about skipping this?

no smiles

Pros
I thought it was a cute idea

Cons
OMG.. I found out (by googling my screen name) that if you sign up with How About We..you will be posted on sites all over the country!! I am incensed as this service is backed by AARP

also..no dates have come my way

How about - Forget about it

I agree with the previous reviews. Accept I thought this site was for 50's+ and I see reviews from 21 yo. In an event, it is the same type of ripe off like Match. Messages in your inbox until you subscribe and then you find out they had fake profiles - Match. Best way to find someone - find an activity you enjoy and you will find people with the same interest. Dancing, museums, golfing, etc. Stop looking and enjoy your pastime.

Pros
None

Cons
Paying ~$35 for nothing. Keep your money and enjoy a hobby

How About We NOT

It seemed like such a good idea: meet other New Yorkers instantly, go out instantly, cut through the baggage and trepidation, and date that evening. That's what How About We offers initially... but with deceitful graphics that promise a "check it out for one month" scheme but instead trick you into paying a whole year in advance, members who aren't even members, and a demographic of hipster guys all in search of the blonde stick, How About We leaves you with a bad taste.

Most transparently of all, once you terminate your account, the service pretends you have new messages in order to try to lure you back, and spams you to death with endless entreaties to come back. First, there is no way all these men are suddenly messaging you AFTER YOU LEAVE THE SERVICE. Your profile would not be up anymore so how are they seeing you there? Baloney. How About We reminds me of a hairy-chested douchebag you meet in a bar who lies to you about being the heir of an Israeli shipping magnate and then, when you see through him, and he gropes your chest, and you splash your drink in his face and take a cab home, blows up your phone with text and call begging for the next four months demanding another chance.

To think they have the nerve to have tried this obvious scam in The City of New York. Philadelphia or Jersey City might have actually worked for them.

Pros
All promise. No bs, no waiting around, cut to the chase, instant date. Sounded awesome.

Cons
Scammy account setup. Openly deceitful. Doesn't seem to understand that attractive women do not have to pay to meet men. Why not spend that $30-$100 on a mani-pedi, a blowout, and a cab to a bar? At least then, you only get screwed once...

Lies to you and dangles "you have a sudden new message all of a sudden from a man even though your profile has been taken down" like a carrot to try to bring you back once you see through them and kill your account. Spam bombs your inbox for the rest of eternity ever after.

Drop a daisy cutter on this service, bury it, and let my dog pee on it. Ridiculous.

P.S.: I met an AWESOME lad a month later just by riding MTA. He's sexy and a part-time model, and unlike the tragic doofuses on this service, was not looking for Fuzzy Navel Ally McBeal with the tramp stamp on her back for a quick uncomplicated one-night stand. Please, fellas. McBeal is so Nineties. Level Up, please. Evolve... like this online dating idea ought to also.

DON"T DO IT!!!

I paid with the assumption that i would be able to send and receive messages..then I realized about 90% of the users are not even subscribed..getting a "i'm Intrigued" message is useless when thats as far as the communication is gonna go....

Pros
None

Cons
Not enough paying users to actually COMMUNICATE with....
