I joined last month after they offered a 6 week for 4 promotion (the cost of joining is high) and have had some success. I have had 2 dates so far and things have gone alright. It's certainly better than some of the other sites I have been on.
Pros Real peoplernEasy site to usernGood customer service
I'll admit that I probably wouldn't recommend OurTime to my friends, but not for any of the reasons given here. I haven't had any problems with Nigerians or members asking for my contact information, and I had WAY more obviously fake profiles contact me on Match. The "free membership" that requires payment if you want to actually participate is identical to any other paying site, and I believe that making people pay weeds out some of the undesireables.
What I don't like about OurTime is that there are so few options to narrow your search results. I can search for astological sign, but I can't search for members with college degrees? What's that about? Only being able to search by age and location leads to contacts by way too many members that I'm just not interested in. If you want to screen for your personal preferences, you have to include it in your profile introduction -- and hope they read it!
Pros Eliminates the old guys trolling for much younger women.
Cons Not enough options for narrowing search results.
Plenty of Fish is the worst dating site on the Internet.
While the concept of online dating is well meaning, the execution of it is very difficult. However, while some sites actually make an attempt at creating a useful and potentially rewarding user experience, it is clear that Plenty of Fish have no such aspirations.
For the honest guy, the site is teeming with fakes, con artists, delusional leftovers, social paths and attention seekers. There is probably 1 plausible candidate for every 99 you have the displeasure of having to swim past. However, many of the candidates are wary since they had to endure a sea full of equally dreadful denizens.
The honest woman has to endure a steady flow of cads and poseurs looking for a booty call. Encouraged by the amount of truth-stretching by a lot of the female ads, these hounds will post up equally embellished profiles and often completely fake photos. It?s like trying to find an honest person in the middle of a smash-and-dash riot looting fest. They do exist, but the chances are, you won?t find them here.
What makes Plenty of Fish particularly bad is that they clear promote all sorts of negative behaviour.
Although they will attempt to remove fakes and any profiles that have any hostility towards women, they are apparently less likely to remove female members who lace their profiles with an obvious tone of hostility towards men. There excuse is that they need as many female members as possible. However, how is that an excuse to promote negativity? It?s supposed to be about love and not hate, is it not?
Speaking of negativity. The man bashers have a place to hide out: the forums.
There is a small group of regulars that post up all sorts of negative comments about men in general. Sometimes the comments are blatant; sometimes they are cleverly couched in innuendo. However, these are left around while the moderator deletes rebuttals at her whim. It doesn?t take much to realize that the moderator, miss_Allison, has a clear agenda. She does not allow open dialogue about anything she deems to be ?done to death?. This really just translates to censorship of anything she can?t debate, but disagrees with. Members who speak out against it receive a permanent ban.
Essentially, this means that the forum site promotes intolerance to anything that man-bashers don?t want to hear.
The whole affair is a travesty, and people should avoid the site. The Internet community deserves far better.
Pros - Free
- You don?t have to go there
Cons - Full of Fakes, Frauds, Man Bashers, Sex Hounds
- Run like cheap backroom operation (and it shows)
- Membership is free but your time isn?t
- Will make you think that the world is full of narcissistic, delusional women and sex-crazed loser guys
- Forums are seriously biased towards man bashers
This site would have to be one of the worst ever, I joined as a free member and straight away I started receiving messages but you have to join to reply.rnI did join for one month just to see whats available and the whole site is a scam. Not one genuine women on the entire site. Theses sites shouild be monitored closely and reported for false advertising.
What a big waste of my hard earn money.Jennifer Meliss Cole @ yahoo.com. She is a scamer. Her age she put down 41. No problem, she has a sick grandmother. She is asking me for $2000.00 dollars for her sick grandmother kidney treanplant. Her age she put down 70. Now I am not that good in math, but 41-----------70, that 29 years apart. Her mother would have been around 9, or 10 when Jennifer was born. Now there another one name NANA she put down, she live in Jamesville Wisconsin, no problem. She ask me I was interested in meeting her, she live in Gania Africa. This site is one big big big scam. So they will take your hard earn money run let the scamer take you too. So this is a scam site for scamer.
Cons It is a scam. And I am going to let everyone I can tell it is a scam
I was only on the site for two weeks and that was too long.
I got plenty of responses to my profile and either they were married, creeps, liars, old photos, whined about the quality of the women, asked me to move in or marry them before they even knew my name.
There were no respectful men on there. None were serious about anything but a one night stand or a booty call. I was totally disgusted with the men my age on there.
Pros It is free.
Cons Losers, liars, cheaters.....don't waste your time!!!
Perhaps online dating is not for me but after a couple of days of my inbox crammed with really creepy inquiries, I left the site. I received disjointed messages from guys with everything from really poor grammar to painfully
unrealistic photos stolen from, what appeared to be, celebrity style websites. It's worth noting that I am a good looking female and never sent messages to anyone, I only received them. It's not free as they would have you believe either. Searching is free but if you want to see any messages you have to pay up. I'm told this is typical of dating sites. The fee for a month is 20.00 but they tack on an additional "one time" fee of 5.00. Also, read the fine print. If you don't cancel your membership within a "reasonable amount of time" you pay for another month, and on and on. The only positive is that it's easy to get off the site.
Pros It's easy to get off the site.
Cons I just found nothing redeeming about the messages on this site.
I had a profile with no photos for about 10 days. I don't recommand this website at all. People are not the good quality that you would expect and if you don't respond to their emails and IMs they will strart swearing at you via emails.
It was interesting that I came across a couple of profiles that I knew them and they were definitely dishonest. But I would have expect it. you are dealing with men not angels.
Pros Best way to remind you why you shouldn't look for iranian men.
Don't expect much, it may be plenty of fish, but not many keepers. For the most part, its people who've pretty much given up on trying. I may be one of the lucky ones who actually found someone on there, but it took over a year to find this person, and it turned out we both pretty much tired of the mainstream social scene. Apparently, if you want to be noticed, you have to pay on the site. It has results, but its time consuming, and frustrating.
Pros free site, if you're really looking, theres some useful tips and guides.
Cons like i said, it's mostly full of those who've given up on trying.
Can't seem to find a gentleman let alone Sugardaddy, I get 'free meals' on dates I am seeking more, more than I can give myself, I like to take care of my man so one off deals are a no no. There needs to be some NEW men on this site, not stingy perves looking for free pussy.rnrnReal sugardaddies can email victoriasecret257 at gmail.comrnrnLondon UK x
I joined for 1 month looking for a honest and genuine women but straight up I found 99% of the women were scammers from either Ghana or Berlin but hey guess what I did find one honest and genuine lady from my local area and after chatting via the site and a telephone call we meet and are now slowly easing into a loving relationship.
They charge money. I recommend never paying for a dating website when the free ones are almost always better.
They con you into the account and then tell you that you cannot get or send messages without paying.
This site will never grow very big due to that fact.
Very poor business plan, If i do not say so myself.
Pros None, as far as Ive seen.
Cons Have to pay.
Prostitution in nearly legal in Japan.
Why give your money to a website that will probably not work anyways.
This site is dangerous for women. The first contact I had on this website was a predator. THis site does not screen anyone!!! This guy lied about his age and where he lived. He changed his "where he lived" 4 times. I reported him but nothing was done. His last name is Harlan. He targets new members and women who he assumes has money and a home and is still on this site. Ladies stay away from this site!!!!!
Pros none!!!!!
Cons A dangerous site. It's true everyone contacts from other parts of the world. And it is a dangerous site as far as I"m concerned.
When anything is connected to Muslims then usually it is corrupt and fake...sadly this site is certainly 100% fake.
Pros If you enjoy being made a fool of, then this site is certainly for you.
Cons if you are a man, you have to pay, for woman it is free ( perhaps this is because there are no real woman on the site or perhaps the sites administrators are men haters ) either way the site is sexist and probably run by Muslim Lesbian's.rnYou put yourself at risk if you give any bank or credit details to them.
Once you setup your 'free' profile and preferences it sends out automatic emails indicating 'private message' received. However, to read anything you have to buy membership. It's a scam to get you to sign-up and collect your money and credit-card details. DO NOT SIGN-UP!
They are scammers who lead you to believe its a free trial and it is anything but. And then they womt even consider a refund. They are bad business people. And someone is using your credit card number to purchase is using the numbers to make purchases it happened to me and they dont care. I think this is a bad company with no standards or customer support or value.
All you get are computer generated emails.For instance.Tell me about your hobbies.Then you write back more than one sentence then they write back and say.What are you doing with your life?One sentence is all you get once a day.Completely a money stealing scam.
I had been on & off adam4adam for about 2 years, and have NEVER met anyone for several reasons. Most are fake profiles that the a4a staff or support..whatever you want to call them...have a habit of violating the law and steal pics to create FAKE profiles...then setting their profile up in california..( an example) then glancing at another profile that is in iowa...it does not make sense nor is that reliable.
They do this to harass others online but sit in the corner like a coward when you show them the same treatment! I am not going to support a fake site just to have more block room, even if you create another profile they do the same crap, so the site is not worth my time or anyone elses for that matter. Stick to craigslist or another site that works, this one is just not reliable, it deserves to be shut down.
This site takes the word unethical to new heights.
ALL OF THE WOMEN were fake.
They kept trying to string me along.
I thought I'd seen some terrible Adult Dating sites.
This is the worst. They should be shut down.
There is nothing positive to say about this garbage site.
Pros None, and that's hard for an Adult Dating site to screw up that bad.
Cons 100% of the women are fake. They must have a college girl to respond to the suckers that email the 'women'.
One of the of the big problems with adult sites is that there are tons of men and only a few women. This shitty site mixes the true love crowd with the horny lusty crowd. I was looking for a lover and got tons of emails from lonely hearts. This site makes no attempt to prevent out of country scammers. They'd lose money if they they did. At least 40% of the emails I got were scammers who are so easy to spot. They use the same stupid emails over and over and over.
To make you think you have activity, in 3 months I must have gotten 50 fake emails. The 'women' would email you once, and then never be heard from again. When I quit, I got emails from 'women' who I could never reach before. None of them responded, of course.
These people should be shut by the authorities. I did meet 3 lovers, but had to go thru and incredible amount of BS.
Pros You may meet a woman or two.
Cons You will pay for in tons of wasted time. You'll get ridiculous emails from lonely hearts and scammers.
Just becarefull. know the person very well before going to far in your relationship. some people in this site are here for a long time. If they are realy looking for relationship, how come they cauld not find the one in 3-4 years. there are a lot of married man on this site who are just using the women. like out side dating, be smart, take your time, don't believe what you hear before studing it. do not let some low self steem people take advantage of you.
I found out about this site through a friend and I did study it for a few years to see how it works, and I am glad that I learned a lot from it and I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT TO ANY FRIEND INCLUDING YOU MY DEAR.
