AdultFriendFinder

As far as the adultfriendfinder site goes. They keep raising their prices, and cutting the actual services. If you are a blogger then you can count on them editing your posts to a point where it appears most speak in broken whatever their native tongue is. A blogger has to post their blog posts in the first comment section to avoid this little bug. Also any postings done in any of the areas like advice line, magazine, blogs, or group rooms can take up 12 hours before they can actually be viewed. As far as the chatrooms go you will be barraged by numerous bots trying to take you to yet another paid site where a person could be charged up to 8.99 per minute to chat. And all of those bots allowed to keep popping belong to adultfriendfinder themselves just another way to bilk their customers. Unfortunately they do tend to bilk their male members at a much higher rate. They have made simple emailing on the site a cost per email, as well as using the IM systems there. They are constantly encouraging the female members to take part in the bilking of the male members such as asking the women to post pictures or videos, and then to ask the male members for tips. Now adultfriendfinder doesn't give the women the tips, the women get points, and only so many points. Yes points can be turned in for membership costs, or even merchandise. But who gets the money, adultfriendfinder. They also supposedly have terms, and rules, which ninety percent of the time they never enforce. When they do enforce any terms, or rules they do no fact finding, the do not look to make sure if a rule or term was broken. They simply tell the one being accused they can get that information with a court order, or subpoena. So they will remove a membership, and not even refund the part of the membership left. They are sure no one would sue them, because of the nature of their site.

I think people's success with this site depends on a lot of things - your personal status, attributes, geography, etc. If you're a woman, obviously you'll get a lot of attention, not all of it positive; couples seem to be hit or miss, (many complain of fakes) and for most guys, probably pretty much a losing proposition, unless you have some stunning attributes that are much in demand (like endowed like John Holmes or if you're an African-American male, as that particular race fetish is common, if creepy.)

As a more-or-less average guy, it's pretty miserable - there are lots of fake profiles, (pretty sure many of them are manned by employees of the site), and the few conversations I've had with people have been mostly rude or scary. Almost every conversation began with a Gestapo-like interrogation, and immediate demands for personal information I'm not going to share with a stranger.

There are a lot of scary dudes there, and I imagine women become rather suspicious and hostile due to bad experiences with them. But you know what? I may be "average", but that doesn't mean some fat, and/or grotesque woman gets to talk to me like I'm a homeless serial killer who'll steal her credit cards the instant I get a chance.

Not to say they're all horrible, unattractive people - but I've found myself in 'conversations' with women I had no interest in meeting in person where I realized it was more like an interrogation than a conversation - question after question fired at me, and never actually responding to anything I'd asked them. And the arrogance some display - this where "4's" get to think they're "8''s"

I went into it thinking "This is a good way to meet new people, people who are probably open-minded, non-judgmental, friendly people you'd like to have a beer with."

Instead, it's a mental ward - there are a few pleasant, nice people, but the number of unpleasant, hostile, and unstable people make it an adventure, at best. Try it if you like, it might work for you, but don't ever pay for it - why?

One, you don't want some "Ashley Madison" data breach ruining your life. Just think what your personal info, credit card #, and embarrassing photos of you would be worth to a blackmailer. Now multiply that by a million - that's how much that info is worth to internet criminals - they've already had a breach this year, and there will be more. I'd *never* give them that much info on me, and I'd recommend no one do.

Two, if you're a woman, put up a few sexy pics, and you'll soon get a free upgraded membership.

Edit: Apparently, an unpaid member can't even read messages anymore - if true, the site is now officially worthless.

AdultFriendFinder it's like taking all the scammers and frauds on earth and putting them in this website. From the day I started on this app I was literally reporting over 20 scammers per day to AdultFriendFinder and their response to me in their email replies were we don't have anything to do with scammers. We don't pay them and we can't stop them. Now had I seen this in an advertisement before I spent money on this $#*! hole site I never would have joined. Like all dating sites you have to expect some ratio of scammers. AFF brings that ratio in my view in my calculations eight out of 10 members on these sites or scammers. The entire messaging protocol for lease scammers is once they receive your message. The first thing they want to do is go to Google chat or Skype get your email or get your cell phone so you can talk in private. Once you tell them no they're gone deactivated account then you have the profiles and the pictures that don't match a profile will say I'm 50 years old and the picture will show a female not even 18. There are also profiles that grammatically embarrass the instructor whoever taught an English class in school, so you know that these profiles are written by foreigners who don't understand the English language grammar. Then there are really stupid scammers who put their screen name up and use the 900 number nine 9909 after their name. This is an indication that this scammer is coming from North Africa, because that is there I don't wanna say ZIP Code, but it is their location code of where they're scamming from. Then of course you have some of the scammers who for instance a female profile will say my name is SophiaJason22, or SuzetteJohn3452, AshleySam7400… these can be prostitutes or scammers who are actually in groups, and this is how they make their money online there are associated with some representation, so they put that in the screen name. People stay away from AFF. It is a cesspool. If you want nasty pictures if you want liars cheats scammers prostitutes, children acting as adults. This is the so-called dating site for you, but if you're a decent human being, I would stay the hell away from this site.

Ive been on this site for over ten years. I've gotten laid alot on it. A LOT. And the site is so bad i'm still giving one star. First if you have a good looking body or well endowed gays and trannys will bombard your profile with views flirts and messages. You cannot stop them, probably because they are such a cash cow for the site. It grosses me out to log on and see a bunch of penises in my notifications. I've met "couples" with the hotwife but the vast majority of those on the site are just a bi or closeted gay man "wishing". Either there is no wife or the wife has no idea so he gets off sex chatting with you. Some will even try to get you to meet them out in public to hit on her. Pathetic. Then of course the real, non spam single women. They are few and far in between but they do exist. Most are overweight and want you to treat them like you met them in a library. Of course respect is always necessary but we're on a sex site and my $#*! is out so stop acting surprised that I am trying to steer the conversation toward sex.

Honestly, the bots and scammers dont bother me because i feel they are easy to spot. Some of yall are pudgy 50 year old men of course the 20 year old asian woman in the bikini is a scammer or wants money. You have to be realistic about your capabilities. Also their english is usually terrible. I'm currently a paying member but after this I will no longer give them a dime. Like I said before, I've been laid plenty off the site, will probably meet this weekend with the hotwife of a couple i've met in the past from aff, and the site still sucks. AFF needs a lot of work and the quality is nowhere near as good as it used to be.
