Generally hard work but can work
Review about Marital Affair.co.ukI joined for free and started getting lots of messages from women. When I paid they seemed like ghosts!
So yes it does feel like a scam to get you to join.
However, if you persevere you can meet someone.
I would say that over a month I spent probably about 30 hours a week on line trying to find the right woman. I ended up chatting with 3 real women and could have met one but she wasn't right for me as a little too far.
I was just about to give up and on the last day changed my profile about to leave and one lovely lady responded. We are now great friends and lovers.
So it can work. It is hard work as you have to sift through lots of fake profiles and scam contacts but there are women on there.
You must be polite though, even if rejected or "ignored". The lady I finally joined up with did not respond initially. She said that she gets about 50 emails a day from men and only reads 10% and deletes the rest as she hasn't got time. So keep trying and one will get through!
Don't put up rude pics, women tend to be put off by them
Pros
I did find someone after lots of hard work
Cons
Takes ages
Lots of fake profiles
They share with profiles from singles sites
