As other reviewers have said, squirt.org customer service is appalling, and shockingly rude. The jerk I spoke with at squirt was nasty, and he enjoyed being so. When I requested to have MY DATA permanently removed from their servers, I was flatly denied; simply told NO, they don't delete suspended profiles. In other words, ALL user profiles, along with your content, are retained by squirt.org, forever; for the site operators to do with as they please. When I asked where squirt.org servers are located (in Canada or the US), I was told "that's none of your business." In other words, YOUR DATA doesn't belong to you. Squirt takes ownership of your pics & videos, everything you upload to their awful website, they OWN, so they say.
Squirt has also billed my credit card, automatically 'renewed' monthly subscriptions, even though I didn't agree to nor authorize these transactions. I only agreed to 1 Month, each time, but they renewed anyway. After some years of using squirt, I feel that those running the site are creepy and corrupt.
I got suspended today after making a brief comment in my profile description about squirt being greedy and that I wouldn't be giving them any more of my money. So clearly you have to be careful about what you say on squirt, even on your own profile, because they monitor what you say about the website. You are not allowed to criticize squirt.org, or you'll be 'suspended'. So free speech isn't respected on the site.
I could say more about squirt's devious business practices... but essentially, my experience with squirt.org was not a good one. You're nothing more than a credit card number to these people. My advice, please save yourself the grief.
I'm not sure what I can do about getting MY DATA deleted from squirt, but I've followed up with my lawyer. I'll probably have to take squirt to court.
Dating and romance scammers will try to keep you on the website wasting time and money.They often claim to be from Australia or another western country, but travelling or working overseas.
Pros Once they have gained your trust and your defenses are down, they will ask you (either subtly or directly) for money, gifts or your banking/credit card details. They may also ask you to send pictures or videos of yourself, with identy fraud they may ask you to send an ID or passport.
Cons very likely to be forms of money laundering or just a scam which is a criminal offence. The researcher identified the behavior as organized stalking and described it as "emotional harassment" involving "hostile and unethical communication directed in a systematic way by one or a few individuals mainly towards one individual."
Dating and romance scams often take place through online dating websites, but scammers may also use social media or email to make contact. They have even been known to telephone their victims as a first introduction. These scams are also known as catfishing.
There are:
Clues of fake profiles pictures
Clues of fake profiles
Clues of fake conversations
For example to chat privately leads to nothing at all
Scammers typically create fake online profiles designed to lure you in. They may use a fictional name, or falsely take on the identities of real, trusted people such as military personnel, aid workers or professionals working abroad.
Scammers will go to great lengths to gain your interest and trust, such as showering you with loving words, sharing personal information. They may take months to build what may feel like the romance of a lifetime and may even pretend to book flights to visit you, but never actually come.
A big scam aimed at taking your money.none of the girls are real and when you chat you are talking to an wmployee of the site who will say anything to keep you chatting.this site needs to be shut down they are ruining lives with their lies
THIS SITE IS A SCAM FROM THE BEGINNING. THE GIRLS MUST HAVE A SCRIPT THAT THEY FOLLOW BECAUSE ALL TELL SLIGHT VARIATIONS OF THE SAME STORY. THEY LIE ABOUT HAVING A CAMERA PHONE EVEN IF ALL THEIR PROFILE PICTURES ARE SELFIES. THEY LIE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO, THEY'RE EITHER IN SCHOOL, HAIRDRESSERS OR BABYSITTERS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PICTURES ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE AND IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS A LOT OF THE WOMEN TAKING PICTURES IN THE SAME AREAS. I'VE SPOKEN TO A FEW OF THEM AND COULD HEAR MEN IN THE BACKROUND COACHING THEM ON WHAT TO SAY, PLUS WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO VIDEO CHAT WITH SOME OF THEM THEY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEIR PICTURES.
Pros NONE, THIS SITE IS THE WORST I'VE EVER BEEN ON!
I thought this site would be okay given that Cupid Media has other reputable sites. However, my experiences are 100% negative and I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone.
When I joined, I received dozens of messages before my profile pics were approved. That was the first clue.
If I reply to a message from a woman, asking for some information about herself, I am consistently asked to move the conversation off the site to imo, WhatsApp, email or skype. They do this because they are going to ask for money and if they do it on site they will get reported and booted.
The women tell you over and over again that they are serious and a one-man woman and a long litany of other motherhood but never actually tell you any facts about themselves or their life other than repeating a few stats from their profile (single, 5'6, etc.). This is of course because they are simply following a script designed to eventually ask for money and don't have the wit or motivation to even lie convincingly.
Common sense suggests that like myself there must be a few women on that site that are sincerely looking for a partner (1%?). But how would I ever find them? Every time I log in, there are dozens of new messages waiting for me from scammers. The awkward design of the site requires that I take a few minutes to deal with a single message. Chances are that I will be so frustrated by the time I come across a message from a serious woman, it will be tossed out like the baby with the bath water. And there is no point sending me interest, I get so much interest from scammers that a legitimate woman's interest will scroll off the bottom of the list within an hour and be lost.
And here's the very best part. :) This site includes a feature that allows a scammer to delete the entire history of messages she (probably he) has exchanged with me, leaving no trace. So that means that if they fail to scam me today, they can try me again tomorrow with a fresh slate.
This is not the first dating site I've tried. None are perfect. But most get the job done and would get 3 or 4 stars out of 5 from me. This however is a zero star site and a total waste of money.
PS I contacted site management and asked for suggestions to help me wade through all of the scammers more efficiently and zero in on the few legitimate members. They didn't get back to me.
I am registered on "Christian cupid", and I found someones profile on there of interest to me, so I added that person to my favourites list. It said that this person is from Hong Kong. Shortly after that I received an email from the supposed person. To read this email I needed to become a paid user. The cheapest amount was $39.98. So, I paid and read the email. The email said, "Hey :) thx for adding me as ur favorite while the time I was in 'your city' indeed lol (a week ago)". In the 'your city' part, the name of my city was used. Anyway, I replied back to the email on the 23rd of January, but I haven't received a reply yet. I decided to do a google search to try and find more information on this 'person'. After searching for her profile name, "Kevina", and the place in Hong Kong where she is supposedly from, "Tuen Mun:, New Territories, "Hong Kong", I found a similar profile on many of the 'cupid' group of dating sites, in a few different languages (Spanish, German), even though the profile doesn't mention that she speaks any other language apart from English. Also, there was major differences in the member overview description between the Christian one and the non christian ones. There were some minor differences in the personal details (for example, height, weight etc). I suspect that this is one way the dating website group gets people to pay for membership. To see the pages use the search string "kevina tuen mun hong kong". But I guess that once they find out this post is online, they will quickly remove or change that profile. I hope I can warn people about this site/group of sites.
Pros There may be some honest people on there...not sure
Cons From my review, I would say that the owners are involved in unethical practices...I would stay away.
I see posts that you say are from me and they are from you. You shouldn't be doing that. That is so wrong. Stop doing that. I will not be renewing when my 3 months are up and if you bill me without my consent I will contact the BBB
So this review is going to be broadly positive about IE hence will be dismised by some as sponsored promotion - it's not. I'm a male from London who's been using IE on and off over the last 4 years. Negatives first: it is indeed expensive; the attempts to hook you in after creating a profile (but before paying up) by random obviously system-generated hellos from specious profiles is extremely annoying (but you learn to ignore these and it does seem to have eased up thankfully of late); the time-pressure on male members to secure a date/relationship within the fee window skews the playing field; and the membership claims are obviously wildly inflated (I agree that the active membership at any one time can be numbered in the hundreds not thousands).
All that said...I have had 5 paid memberships on IE at 6-9 month intervals since 2013. On every one of these I have had several "dates" following correspondence on the site and on every one also I have entered into at least one physical relationship, typically more than one. Of course not every correspondence leads anywhere, any more than on any other dating/adult site, and again as everywhere else it's a "seller's" market for women. But from my expeience, if you compose an engaging profile, write a decent email (tailored to the recipient, not cut and paste) and are prepared to cast your net widely IE does in fact work. (If you're outside a metropolitan area, as others have noted, it's ound to be more difficult.)
Also, final note: unlike Ashley Madison (and we all know what happened there!), IE allows anonymous cash payments which given the nature of the site is a considerable plus.
Pros High if limited quality of members; discreet and functional.
Cons Expensive (for men); gender imbalance; some fake/spam profiles.
Where will I start?....Im speechless.In this day and age its quite a shock to be confronted by such an obvious scammer paradise. Why the operators of this abortion of a dating site allow it to continue in the way it does,is beyond me.
They are so complacent and contemptuous of the members that they didnt even edit out the catwalk from the photos of beautiful African models .Astonishingly beautiful stunning women dont need to go on a dating site and say they are happy to fall in love with a man 100 years of age....It is total madness and the b******s who run this crap allow it.They are not helping you in your quest they are arranging your f*****g funeral;
There are few genuine ones,they are easy to identify as they clearly have never seen a catwalk,they maybe eaten a few cats in their time but never glided down one.
If you are looking to date something out of a horror movie and see the ugliest women ever to have walked planet earth then you might be in luck and avoid the 98%scammers and find yourself a genuine creature of unknown origin or species.
To sum up.......In the name of God squander your money on something more worthwhile like a lottery ticket as you will have more chance of winning with that.
Pros virtually none,technically its an easy site to use. Thats It.
Cons Everything from the minute you waste your cash.This site will give you nothing but suffering and deep regret.
It is shocking that this so called dating site is allowed to be in business.The people responsible for this shambles are probably more guilty than the African crooks.They act as the pimp for these crooks allowing them to go about their business of ripping off the vulnerable and gullible .
It is a disgrace .I cant describe how annoyed I am at being duped Into getting involved .
Every day is a school day. Never even contemplate signing up for this.If you are serious about finding a partner look elsewhere.
A year ago I registred on VeronikaLove. At first I doubted about this site, but decided to try it. And I have not left disappointed. A month later I met a beautiful girl.
Pros 24/7 support
Comfortable chat
Convenient payment system
Site is awful!!! Terrible customer service! Didn't answer phone for 3 days. Responded to email 3 days later! Terrible policy's. Judgmental. Stay far away
I was on this site, damn near got conned out of money for a camera, and there were numerous profiles of ladies on other sites, got a wad of letters, too. Stay off of this site.
I was on this site for over 1 year, unknowingly signed up for it, had an empty profile and no pic, still got letters from lots of ladies, most of them were sexually explicit and the ladies were in sexy underwear, got repeat letters from some ladies, and got letters from ladies who didn't even meet my requirements. I wasted $600 on this site, wished I hadn't.
Pros None. Stay off of this site and the other 3 QPid Network sites, ChnLove, Asiadate, and Latamdate, they're all a ripoff.
Cons Complete waste of money and time, go to a reputable dating site if you want a Russian/Ukrainian lady.
Keep on writing posts using different names talking about your success stories not sian meh?
Why not spend your time thinking of how to improve your services instead should be more productive for your company instead
Want to charge expensive price, than give bad services and lie to your customers and yet still want to pester them to sign up for more packages so you can earn more money
When your customers complain, you refuse to do anything. When they go to the internet to post than you have no choice but to ask them to contact you just to find out their real identity than after that you refuse to offer them any compensation and just threaten to use legal action to sue them to force them to remove the posts
Pros Nil
Cons Expensive.
Lousy matches
Lie to customers
Ignore complains by customers
When customers come to internet to post, than Lunch Actually pretend to ask them to contact to resolve the issue but actually just want to find out their real identity to use legal action to threaten to sue them to make them remove the posts
Give alot of sponsored reviews aka advertisements on the internet to cover up the bad reviews online
I have paid over MYR 5000 to join the Lunch Actually membership. The initial consultation was friendly and the lady assure me that I will have a lot of match. When I sign the contract, it is written three matches. She says it will be more but contractually they put three to assure there is minimum three dates. This is a lie. It is nearly a year of my membership and they only arranged two dates. There is quite a lot of staff turnover and two that contacted me was no more working there. It leave me hanging who I should liase with. You only get a date when you question and push them for it. This is unreasonable for a large amount of money for just two dates for me for now. Note that you get better match in other platforms. Do avoid.
Pros Good if you wanna throw away money.
Cons High staff turnover. You need to push them to get dates after the first date. You get better matches on other platforms and significant cheaper too. Waste of money and definitely do not trust them.
I joined this site awhile ago, but I can say becarful there are many creeps i met burkey84 I thought he was the man of my dreams.
He is manipulative, I'm currently pregnant with his child. He lied to me, he was still using the site while we was dating, then treated me like shit.
Be aware ladies he will make you feel special he has a thing about impregnating women and then leaving them. I learnt I'm not the first women he did this too.
I've been a member of Japan Cupid and koreancupid on and off for about a year-and-a-half now. Honestly there scammers and egotistical individuals on both sites. I think someone else here said it best... online dating can be very unforgiving. the best thing is look at it as one just way of meeting new people/making friends. If this is your only way of meeting new people, you're bound to be disappointed. You're going to run into scammers, fake profiles, Knuckleheads that can't read and people that don't fit what it is you might be specifically looking for. I made the mistake of " locking in " on "types" and profile photos...only to be disappointed..and realizing it was really my fault. Besides the fact that men are usually "chasing" and women are "choosing" in real life...and the virtual world...most women aren't reading many of the emails they receive anyway... either because there are just too many or they are dissatisfied with the responses. With everything going on there it just pays to have an open mind...and if you meet someone cool with similar interests, even if you just end up being friends, it's still a good thing.
Pros One way to meet new people.
Cons Was told some of my photos I tried to add were not clear and blurry however some photos I'very seen on women's profiles were even more blurry. Rules for photos are applied inconsistently.
Also I've noticed that I've gotten more responses and emails sent to my profile near the end or after my subscription has ended. The website's way of trying to get you to pay for another subscription...using their own fake profiles?
This is a clone of www.dateacrossdresser.com - search for reviews of that site. Here is mine:
As others have said, an extremely poor site. There are some genuine users, but they're so few and far between, it's just not worth trying to find them. The admin seem to add new fake users every week in many areas geographically, but because of the amount of these, they don't seem to keep track of them and keep them active. This just adds to the masses of inactive profiles, who's last activity was "2 weeks ago".
Site may be associated with www.crossdresserchatcity.com
Site may be associated with www.meetacrossdresser.com
Don't waste your money.
Pros None that I can think of
Cons Lots and lots of inactive users
Many new fake users
Old profiles being operated by admin
Paid users will receive messages from fake users
Free profiles have no features

A great idea, but poorly executed and not very well managed. The lack of standards of the owner (or administrators) and suspicious activity mean you should tread very carefully. The forums were full of vicious comments, arguments and bullying, and people have reported the same about the chat room. The profile activity is questionable, even when making allowances for the nature of the clientele, who may be hesitant or less confident about communicating. Many users simply won't reply to messages, and those that do may use terms or language that 'don't seem quite right' for the geographical area they are supposed to be from. The majority of users appear to be from the USA. It is not unusual to be one of only about 10 users online at any one time.
Pros Very low cost compared to other sites
Offers hope to people with mental health issues
Cons Suspicious profiles and activity
Lack of users outside the USA
Lack of total active users
Abuse has been reported by ex-users
Site admin does not communicate/reply
I was thinking to cancel my date. Previously, I kept postponing my date with my match many times but he still never gave up. At that time, I was busy, especially work and church ministry. I had this thought that registering with LA might not work for me. Then, one day LA had contacted me as they are arranging appointment with Jack again. I was very reluctant as I thought the next date might still be the same experience with previous dates and I only have few more dates left in my package.
Then, during the conversation on the phone, I was convinced about the personality from my matchs profile where he is a Caring person and my passion is for Charity. So, Charity blended well with someone who have a Caring heart. Then, I felt sick and I called to postponed again. The next thing I received Text Message from LA to let me know that Jack sends me regards and wishing me well, which warmed my heart. Thus, I decided to meet up.
We had good time sharing, exchanging common background and life experiences. I didn't know that I have been postponing my date with my match until to his birthday. He also patiently accompanied me to find my car when I had forgotten where I had parked exactly. We kept in touch and have been going out together. We've been blessed to be able to get to know each other well through gatherings and joined outings with his family members.
We later took a pre-marital counselling from church and felt compatible with personality, background, goals and life purpose. We look forward to a life together as husband and wife very soon.

Every day is a school day. Never even contemplate signing up for this.If you are serious about finding a partner look elsewhere.

Ripoff dating site
Review about Find-BrideI was on this site, damn near got conned out of money for a camera, and there were numerous profiles of ladies on other sites, got a wad of letters, too. Stay off of this site.
Pros
None.
Cons
Complete waste of time.
Ripoff dating site
Review about CharmingDate.comI was on this site for over 1 year, unknowingly signed up for it, had an empty profile and no pic, still got letters from lots of ladies, most of them were sexually explicit and the ladies were in sexy underwear, got repeat letters from some ladies, and got letters from ladies who didn't even meet my requirements. I wasted $600 on this site, wished I hadn't.
Pros
None. Stay off of this site and the other 3 QPid Network sites, ChnLove, Asiadate, and Latamdate, they're all a ripoff.
Cons
Complete waste of money and time, go to a reputable dating site if you want a Russian/Ukrainian lady.

Lunch Actually methods
Review about Lunch ActuallyTo Lunch Actually:
Keep on writing posts using different names talking about your success stories not sian meh?
Why not spend your time thinking of how to improve your services instead should be more productive for your company instead
Want to charge expensive price, than give bad services and lie to your customers and yet still want to pester them to sign up for more packages so you can earn more money
When your customers complain, you refuse to do anything. When they go to the internet to post than you have no choice but to ask them to contact you just to find out their real identity than after that you refuse to offer them any compensation and just threaten to use legal action to sue them to force them to remove the posts
Pros
Nil
Cons
Expensive.
Lousy matches
Lie to customers
Ignore complains by customers
When customers come to internet to post, than Lunch Actually pretend to ask them to contact to resolve the issue but actually just want to find out their real identity to use legal action to threaten to sue them to make them remove the posts
Give alot of sponsored reviews aka advertisements on the internet to cover up the bad reviews online
Avoid using Lunch Actually
Review about Lunch ActuallyI have paid over MYR 5000 to join the Lunch Actually membership. The initial consultation was friendly and the lady assure me that I will have a lot of match. When I sign the contract, it is written three matches. She says it will be more but contractually they put three to assure there is minimum three dates. This is a lie. It is nearly a year of my membership and they only arranged two dates. There is quite a lot of staff turnover and two that contacted me was no more working there. It leave me hanging who I should liase with. You only get a date when you question and push them for it. This is unreasonable for a large amount of money for just two dates for me for now. Note that you get better match in other platforms. Do avoid.
Pros
Good if you wanna throw away money.
Cons
High staff turnover. You need to push them to get dates after the first date. You get better matches on other platforms and significant cheaper too. Waste of money and definitely do not trust them.
Afroromance
Review about AfroRomanceI joined this site awhile ago, but I can say becarful there are many creeps i met burkey84 I thought he was the man of my dreams.
He is manipulative, I'm currently pregnant with his child. He lied to me, he was still using the site while we was dating, then treated me like shit.
Be aware ladies he will make you feel special he has a thing about impregnating women and then leaving them. I learnt I'm not the first women he did this too.
Pros
Membership prices fair
Cons
Too many creeps after one thing.

Review about JapanCupid.comI've been a member of Japan Cupid and koreancupid on and off for about a year-and-a-half now. Honestly there scammers and egotistical individuals on both sites. I think someone else here said it best... online dating can be very unforgiving. the best thing is look at it as one just way of meeting new people/making friends. If this is your only way of meeting new people, you're bound to be disappointed. You're going to run into scammers, fake profiles, Knuckleheads that can't read and people that don't fit what it is you might be specifically looking for. I made the mistake of " locking in " on "types" and profile photos...only to be disappointed..and realizing it was really my fault. Besides the fact that men are usually "chasing" and women are "choosing" in real life...and the virtual world...most women aren't reading many of the emails they receive anyway... either because there are just too many or they are dissatisfied with the responses. With everything going on there it just pays to have an open mind...and if you meet someone cool with similar interests, even if you just end up being friends, it's still a good thing.
Pros
One way to meet new people.
Cons
Was told some of my photos I tried to add were not clear and blurry however some photos I'very seen on women's profiles were even more blurry. Rules for photos are applied inconsistently.
Also I've noticed that I've gotten more responses and emails sent to my profile near the end or after my subscription has ended. The website's way of trying to get you to pay for another subscription...using their own fake profiles?
Avoid it at all costs
Review about CrossDressingThis is a clone of www.dateacrossdresser.com - search for reviews of that site. Here is mine:
As others have said, an extremely poor site. There are some genuine users, but they're so few and far between, it's just not worth trying to find them. The admin seem to add new fake users every week in many areas geographically, but because of the amount of these, they don't seem to keep track of them and keep them active. This just adds to the masses of inactive profiles, who's last activity was "2 weeks ago".

Don't waste your money.
Pros
None that I can think of
Cons
Lots and lots of inactive users
Many new fake users
Old profiles being operated by admin
Paid users will receive messages from fake users
Free profiles have no features
Avoid it... just avoid it

Disapointing experience
Review about No Longer LonelyA great idea, but poorly executed and not very well managed. The lack of standards of the owner (or administrators) and suspicious activity mean you should tread very carefully. The forums were full of vicious comments, arguments and bullying, and people have reported the same about the chat room. The profile activity is questionable, even when making allowances for the nature of the clientele, who may be hesitant or less confident about communicating. Many users simply won't reply to messages, and those that do may use terms or language that 'don't seem quite right' for the geographical area they are supposed to be from. The majority of users appear to be from the USA. It is not unusual to be one of only about 10 users online at any one time.
Pros
Very low cost compared to other sites
Offers hope to people with mental health issues
Cons
Suspicious profiles and activity
Lack of users outside the USA
Lack of total active users
Abuse has been reported by ex-users
Site admin does not communicate/reply

Review about LatinoMeetup...
Thank you Lunch Actually
Review about Lunch ActuallyI was thinking to cancel my date. Previously, I kept postponing my date with my match many times but he still never gave up. At that time, I was busy, especially work and church ministry. I had this thought that registering with LA might not work for me. Then, one day LA had contacted me as they are arranging appointment with Jack again. I was very reluctant as I thought the next date might still be the same experience with previous dates and I only have few more dates left in my package.
Then, during the conversation on the phone, I was convinced about the personality from my matchs profile where he is a Caring person and my passion is for Charity. So, Charity blended well with someone who have a Caring heart. Then, I felt sick and I called to postponed again. The next thing I received Text Message from LA to let me know that Jack sends me regards and wishing me well, which warmed my heart. Thus, I decided to meet up.
We had good time sharing, exchanging common background and life experiences. I didn't know that I have been postponing my date with my match until to his birthday. He also patiently accompanied me to find my car when I had forgotten where I had parked exactly. We kept in touch and have been going out together. We've been blessed to be able to get to know each other well through gatherings and joined outings with his family members.
We later took a pre-marital counselling from church and felt compatible with personality, background, goals and life purpose. We look forward to a life together as husband and wife very soon.
