Pros NONE AT ALL.
Cons EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SIGHT...EVEN THE MEN ON THE SIGHT....
I have used this site, both as a standard member and a paid member and found it to be OK.
Undoubtedly there are "fake" profiles out there. There are fake profiles on every site that allows people to make a profile without paying. This doesn't meant the site is a scam.
I suspect the unsatisfied users out there are unsatisfied for reasons that aren't really the fault of the site. For example, there are a lot of Japanese women on the site. Japanese women who live in Japan. In the majority of cases, these women are not interested in you if you live overseas. Not because they are racist, not because they wouldn't like you if they met you, but because it's simply too much of a long shot to start corresponding with someone who they can't meet without getting an international plane ticket.
I can assure you all that there are many many women on the site who will happily correspond with someone living in Tokyo, and will happily meet up if they think you might be their type. I know this because I met around 20 women through the site. Some nice, some not so nice, some stunning, some, umm, shall we say not so stunning. A couple of crazies, a couple of gold-diggers and a couple of nasty pieces of work but mostly just pretty normal people, in my age bracket (I was 37) looking for a partner.
Pros It's good for meeting women who are in Japan, if you are also in Japan.
Cons Use your head - if you're somewhere else then this site is highly unlikely to work for you.
I've looked at this site and its sister sites. Yes there are way too many fake profiles. There may be some actual users but they are few and far between. The owners of the site in the terms and conditions claim copyright on your photos and even admit to using them to create profiles on their other sites. Also the prices are too high. Yes you can join for free, but then you can't do jack shit.
At least on other sites like Plenty of Fish you can actually use the site for free. And there are actual people on there.
I think there are probably a few genuine people on the site. But plenty of fake profiles too. Also note:
- A lot of the profiles are old, people haven't logged in for ages
- You can't do anything without handing over a lot of cash, there are better / cheaper alternatives
- You can't browse without signing up
- They reuse profiles from their massive network of dating sites
- Steal and reuse your data
Conclusion the site is run by greedy scamming aussies. Don't waste your time.
Pros Maybe a few genuine profiles.
Cons Lots of old and fake profiles. Not too many genuine active users. The site just plain sucks.
I've been a member of this site for a while and I have met some really awesome guys. The best part is the site is free so you don't have to be a paying member to send or respond to messages like many other dating sites.
Pros It's free!
Cons It tends to mess up every so often where you can't even get on the site.
I used Christianmingle for about 8 months, and although I have found many respectable men on here, I have been unsuccessful in finding the "one" for me. Many of the men that actually wanted to date me were very much older than my age (like....25-30 or more years older; I've had a 75-year-old man ask me out on a date. No offense, but as a young girl its kind of a shock when that happens), and the ones that were around my age (which I would say up to 5 yrs difference-always older) were more "strange," as Noor above pointed out (I don't want to fully explain the details but...all I can say is that their motives were similar to that of non-Christian sites). But although I have had bad experiences, I have heard of many other people who have had good experiences on this site. All in all, I think Christianmingle is somewhat of a safe site (in the sense that many of the people ARE in fact telling the truth about themselves in most cases), but then again its vital to take precaution in all dating sites.
Pros Christian theme
in most cases, tells truth about themselves
safe (in my opinion), in the sense that the staff checks whatever is posted on the site
Cons Older men tend to try and flirt with younger women (happens on most sites from what I hear though)
"strange" motives of the men (also what happens on most other sites)
On May 5, 2011 On May 5, 2011 I signed up for a subscription to speeedate by logging into their billing website. They gave the option of signing up for one year for $191.40 or one month at $39.95. I chose to be billed for one month at $39.95 but when the billing process was complete I noticed they mysteriously had billed me for $191.40 for an entire year.This is fraud pure and simple.
So I contacted my credit card company (M & T Bank) to dispute the charge. On August 3, 2011 the credit card company responded to my complaint and they stated there was no basis for my claim based upon documentation and a letter from Speeddate's representative Gina Johnson. The Speeddate representative falsely stated to M& T Bank that I had "opened a speeddate.com account with recurring billing". This is not true since I signed up for a one time monthly charge of $39.95, being duped in a similar manner as thousands of others.
I am currenrtly in the process of filing a complaint with Federal Regulatory officials. Aside from the fraudulent billing practices I would also like to get the Justice Department to investifgate them for possible violations of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. For more information on that issue please scroll "Onlinedatingrights" on the web.
Total waste of money. You pay for meaningless messages generated by people when they join the site and are then sent on to numerous unfortunate members. Most of these messages come from people joining other sites for other reasons. They are probably regretting it too.
Pros None.
Cons It is a scam site. Agree with all the negative comments above.
Ok guys... firstly don't get your hopes up! As it's free for ladies beware there are DROVES of toe dippers, bored housewives and looneys!
If you start of knowing the fact the site is there soley to earn it's owners money, then you'll understand that all that glitters is not gold.
In fairness, on the rare occasion a scammer pops up the site owners deal with them quickly.
My advice would be, be honest, be patient & don't have expectations.There are a few genuine ladies on there, but you'll have to search long & hard to find them.
To summarise, its probably the best of a bad bunch.
Pros Highest ratio of genuine ladies looking for an affair.
Because of the high cost, competition is limited from other men.
Scammers quickly dealt with.
Cons High ratio of timewasters.
Very expensive.
Beware of multiple profile females.

Art of Dating
Browsing through the personal classifieds can be quite frustrating if you really don?t know what qualities or the type of personality it is that you are searching for in the person you are seeking, or in the relationship you are seeking.
Questions you need to ask yourself before and as you are reading through the personal sections again are: Why are you searching for someone, do you want a companion, a serious relationship or just to make friends with someone new with the hopes of dating. Who are you looking for, are you searching for someone tall, short, thin, stout, young, old, divorced, widowed, single, married, and the list goes on to include all personal choices and preferences in people.
Discussing this theory a little more in detail - If you have a problem dating someone with kids, you should skip over the classifieds that reveal those people who have kids or you will only be letting yourself down in the end when you are building a relationship. This theory pertains to all of the listings, for example, if you are searching for someone that is just for you, without ever sharing that person with another, search for someone who has never been married or who is not a widow (widower). Once you know whom you are searching for, you will be able to read the personal classifieds with more confidence and decision making abilities.
Read the classifieds completely, tracking the writing that interests you the most so that you can go back and compare, reread or contact that person. Reading through the entire personal section, or at very least the section that applies your target interest group, you will find a variety of people with vast differences in personalities just through the short descriptions available.
Blackscene is a bogus site. I have been a paying member for a month now and the same 2 people are always online and i cant reach anybody on it to mingle with. They charged me 4 times for a single transaction so i had to get that straight. I can't even get a view from anybody. They have my money and i cannot navigate and get any responses or even a view. Everything is suspended it seems and they will not fix. You can spend your money and find out the hard way like i did if you wanna. once in awhile i will click on my profile to see if anything has changed.....nothing but the same 2 people.rnI am on a couple of other dating sites also and i get views and flirts everyday. But with Blackscene...nothing. absolutely nothing. I know i have been had and that's the sad part.rnMaybe somebody knows something that i don't about how to activate this site as it is sleeping on me. better off going with those sites that are advertised on TV.

Was on FB.... Meet singles for a few bucks a month.... What a Joke. The Joke was on me. Cancelled the renew a few months into contract. Don't waste your time,time is money. Charged the full amount at signup. chatted with a few women,got faved ??? Never saw them again. Checked out scams about dating sites. I suggest everyone do this. Some of the women go by many different names... It's a scam some well versed individual overseas with a script suckers men and women into online relationships... Wait, I did meet and go out with "1" woman. Wow, after our third date, we all know the third date, she informed me she is a witch. Yeah a WITCH... Great, that sums up SpeedDate...
Pros Entertaining,If you like to waste money and time.
Thank you so much for the nice email my dear. I think it is time to introduce myself... I don't know what I should tell you about myself in the first place... Perhaps I will start with the simplest . My name is Williams cole . I have been reverted to Islam 2 months ago and i am now call Abdul Kalil . I was born in the month of January , I was born in Belleville Ontario in Canada . My life story is quite controversial . i am the eldest son of my late parents .I never got to meet my mom...........well let me not scare you with all of that........ i would really like to get to know you better . I am looking for a kind and sincere woman that would like to get to know me and wants to be with me forever . I KNOW relationship always depends on trusting each other , understanding , being sincere , loving , caring and being there for each other . I want you to know first before anything that i am a very God fearing Person but i don't criticize other people's believe or religion .
I am very easy to get along with .I am funny , exciting , and an optimistic man who is reliable and loyal.... I am always looking forward to the future , but enjoy the present as well . i like interior design reading , and sleeping . I also like to travel. I am willing to help my partner in any way I can. I don"t mind compromise . I hope i have found you . I have tried as much as possible never to allow my relationship with allah to affect my romance life in any way whatsoever . My mom was originally from India while Dad was from Canada . Presently, i am in South Africa for an important matter concerning my late Dad's death .I am Thinking of relocating to anywhere especially United kingdom if i find my true love .All i want is to be happily married . I am sure allah willing ,we shall be united together in one matrimony ..... I love warm weather, tropical drinks and sandy beaches. I like to party and have fun. I don't want no more drama in my life. I like romantic evenings and bedroom talks. I'm a real man looking for a real woman , i love to be with my loved one all alone and be with her for the rest of my life.
Little about my father and my job . My mother passed away a very long time ago shortly after she gave birth to my younger brother well that was when i knew what it takes to be the eldest son of a family of two. Without a mother,my father was a successful business man he was a contractor , i went to the University of California spent 2 years there and after that i began to work with my father as his personal auditor and we moved around for his contracts where ever he was awarded.The last contract he did before his death was in South Africa in 2009. I think i have said more than enough for the start . Can you please tell me about yourself an your family too
Best regards
and this is another one
why do you call yourself sister? you are not dear.You are more than a sister to me . When i look at you what i see is my wife and not my sister . We should not dodge from that fact dear . I am really more than happy that you sent me at least a few lines . and i want to assure you that i feel as though allah has put an end to all those my long moments of waiting .

Hamda do me a favor to tell me more about yourself without living out anything . i would be more than happy .thank you once more for taking your time to email me be blessed
Abdul
and another one
thank you for for opening up to me . I understand that it is only trust and love that can make someone to give so much trust to a stranger . I always enjoy reading messages from people i care about and your messages i must confess have carried me away . I am thinking of leaving from here and come straight to you .................it depends on how we feel for each other . I am not a very proud person . i am not poor either but one thing is certain i am not a very happy person . My Dad's death is a bad tragedy to me . Although before he died he left enough funds for my upkeep which i will soon receive from the security company, all of this cannot be compared to happiness . My dear , i have always wanted to meet the right woman .That woman who will touch my heart , that woman who shall take care of me , love me and give me a happy home . Honestly something tells me you are this person i have been longing for . Although i have never been to your country ,if you want, i can come straight there so we can start a solid relationship . But it depends how fast am able to get things done here . I need nothing more than a real woman . A woman that would truly show me love ,care and treat me right ... I would have loved to get a flight straight to your home from here but then we have to take it slow because speed does not only kill on the highway . It does in relationship as well . Anyway one week of serious conversation is enough to make me come straight to your home . As a matter of fact i just want to have a serious and long lasting relationship that can make me happy all my life . Please do me a favor by being there for me always . If there is anything else you would like to know about me, feel free to ask me i am ready when you are.I miss u so much
Williams
he sound strange and i know people who wrote to each other 4 times don't talk like that so i google his e-mails and subhana allah he is all over the inter net with same lines.alhamdulillah i am muslim women and you can scam Muslim person because i know the halal way to talk to each other and if you don't have that good Muslim manor to talk to someone we know something is not right so please sister be careful this man and the other both man and women like him.
Pros there are a lot of genuine Muslims who is looking for good companion.
Cons there is also a lot of time wester and scam artiest also,
I have been a reader of ms heartbeats advice since she was on AOL in the 1990s. She does not play. Helped me a lot after my breakup. Now I'm married to a guy I never would have picked without her help.
Pros Direct, funny, open and not afraid of tough subjects.
Cons Was only once per week but now daily so this con doesn't apply anymore.
Its just a simple dating site... Nothing like fb of course. Its not that bad if your smart... Most of the profiles can and can not be fake but then again I think every site is like that. I've met a couple of good guys( friends) and I've met some really rude men as well. As far as(porn sites) and ( prostitutes) go I haven't ran into any lol. It all goes back to just being careful with what you share... Simple as that.
Pros Meet people from all over the country
Cons Paying for better quality... And not being able to read messages.thats pretty lame honestly.
Beware of ANY profile featuring beautiful girls! These people are either men posing as the girl pictured, using photos stolen from somewhere, or ANY person attempting to cheat you out of a few bucks. Almost all of them will tell you they don't have a webcam or a cellphone. Even if you do see them on webcam, it's either prerecorded or a girl put up to it by a pimp-type boss. Many are "too good to be true" and when you tell them you can't afford to give money, they get nasty and end the chat...never to be heard from again!! This a classic case of the cunning preying on the stupid! Don't let it happen to you!
Pros There most certainly are many genuine young ladys on Cupid who would make a great wife! I know this to be fact because I've lived in the Philippines for 3 years. My advice: If you are seriously concidering marrying a Filipina, GO THERE to begin your search in person. You can live for 30-60 days very inexpensively and properly court a lady in a more appropriate and efficient way. Stay away from big city girls (and big cities) You will be pleasantly surprized at the selection of fine young ladys. They are EASY to meet in public. It IS TRUE, they really don't put much importance on how you look. They value a real gentleman and focus on finding true love. Go about it the right way and you will not be disappointed!!
Cons I don't have much confidence in the entire concept of internet dating when there's 8,000 miles between you and her! There really is no sure-fire way of connecting with a girl online and realizing her compatibility to you though chat and webcam. It makes all the difference in the world to be local and set up a simple date. You will learn more about her in the first 30 minutes than you would chatting for a month! Mistakes are easily and quickly chocked as history and the quest goes on. Read what I said above. You could spot her out in public, walk up and introduce yourself, and the next thing you know, you have a dinner date with her that night. No games, no waiting, no guessing! Good luck!
Muslima.com is owned and operated by ECom Holdings, Inc which is an investment company. Muslima bought out Muslim Matrimonials Network which at that time was really the only useful matrimonials. It was a sad day when the transfer happened, as a user I lost so many contacts/girlfriends I used to contact there. Muslima.com was not the same as MMN as it was referred to. Muslima.com can and does work but it is not the fault of the website as much as the people who join who have half witted intention. All Muslim themed Matrimonials slide down a slippery slope when its members are not the best in their religion. When a non-Muslim tries to run a Muslim themed site they miss out on a lot of critical needs the Muslims have.
Muslima.com has a lot of fake profiles as did MMN but why? Why do webmasters feel that urge to blast they have thousands or millions of users and maybe only have 500? This is outright dishonest. And thats is what the Muslims see and they become discouraged.
Pros It joins Muslims where as it can be hard to meet so many Muslims.

Review about ChristianMingleI used Christianmingle for about 8 months, and although I have found many respectable men on here, I have been unsuccessful in finding the "one" for me. Many of the men that actually wanted to date me were very much older than my age (like....25-30 or more years older; I've had a 75-year-old man ask me out on a date. No offense, but as a young girl its kind of a shock when that happens), and the ones that were around my age (which I would say up to 5 yrs difference-always older) were more "strange," as Noor above pointed out (I don't want to fully explain the details but...all I can say is that their motives were similar to that of non-Christian sites). But although I have had bad experiences, I have heard of many other people who have had good experiences on this site.

Speedate= FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICES
Review about SpeedDate.comOn May 5, 2011 On May 5, 2011 I signed up for a subscription to speeedate by logging into their billing website. They gave the option of signing up for one year for $191.40 or one month at $39.95. I chose to be billed for one month at $39.95 but when the billing process was complete I noticed they mysteriously had billed me for $191.40 for an entire year.This is fraud pure and simple.
So I contacted my credit card company (M & T Bank) to dispute the charge. On August 3, 2011 the credit card company responded to my complaint and they stated there was no basis for my claim based upon documentation and a letter from Speeddate's representative Gina Johnson. The Speeddate representative falsely stated to M& T Bank that I had "opened a speeddate.com account with recurring billing". This is not true since I signed up for a one time monthly charge of $39.95, being duped in a similar manner as thousands of others.
I am currenrtly in the process of filing a complaint with Federal Regulatory officials. Aside from the fraudulent billing practices I would also like to get the Justice Department to investifgate them for possible violations of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act.

Review about Marital Affair.co.ukTotal waste of money. You pay for meaningless messages generated by people when they join the site and are then sent on to numerous unfortunate members. Most of these messages come from people joining other sites for other reasons. They are probably regretting it too.
Pros
None.
Cons
It is a scam site. Agree with all the negative comments above.
A word to the wise
Review about Illicit EncountersOk guys... firstly don't get your hopes up! As it's free for ladies beware there are DROVES of toe dippers, bored housewives and looneys!
If you start of knowing the fact the site is there soley to earn it's owners money, then you'll understand that all that glitters is not gold.
In fairness, on the rare occasion a scammer pops up the site owners deal with them quickly.
My advice would be, be honest, be patient & don't have expectations.There are a few genuine ladies on there, but you'll have to search long & hard to find them.
To summarise, its probably the best of a bad bunch.
Pros
Highest ratio of genuine ladies looking for an affair.
Because of the high cost, competition is limited from other men.
Scammers quickly dealt with.
Cons
High ratio of timewasters.
Very expensive.
Beware of multiple profile females.

Review about ConnectingSingleshello can anyone tell me how it s possible I cannot login even I tried with several login names and new profiles and mailing to the managenment (wich not answer) but anyway I always get a message
Art of Dating
Browsing through the personal classifieds can be quite frustrating if you really don?t know what qualities or the type of personality it is that you are searching for in the person you are seeking, or in the relationship you are seeking.
Questions you need to ask yourself before and as you are reading through the personal sections again are: Why are you searching for someone, do you want a companion, a serious relationship or just to make friends with someone new with the hopes of dating. Who are you looking for, are you searching for someone tall, short, thin, stout, young, old, divorced, widowed, single, married, and the list goes on to include all personal choices and preferences in people.
Discussing this theory a little more in detail - If you have a problem dating someone with kids, you should skip over the classifieds that reveal those people who have kids or you will only be letting yourself down in the end when you are building a relationship. This theory pertains to all of the listings, for example, if you are searching for someone that is just for you, without ever sharing that person with another, search for someone who has never been married or who is not a widow (widower). Once you know whom you are searching for, you will be able to read the personal classifieds with more confidence and decision making abilities.
Read the classifieds completely, tracking the writing that interests you the most so that you can go back and compare, reread or contact that person. Reading through the entire personal section, or at very least the section that applies your target interest group, you will find a variety of people with vast differences in personalities just through the short descriptions available.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY !!!!!!! ,,,,,,,,,,,???????
Blackscene Bogus site
Review about BlackScene.comBlackscene is a bogus site. I have been a paying member for a month now and the same 2 people are always online and i cant reach anybody on it to mingle with. They charged me 4 times for a single transaction so i had to get that straight. I can't even get a view from anybody. They have my money and i cannot navigate and get any responses or even a view. Everything is suspended it seems and they will not fix. You can spend your money and find out the hard way like i did if you wanna. once in awhile i will click on my profile to see if anything has changed.....nothing but the same 2 people.rnI am on a couple of other dating sites also and i get views and flirts everyday. But with Blackscene...nothing. absolutely nothing. I know i have been had and that's the sad part.rnMaybe somebody knows something that i don't about how to activate this site as it is sleeping on me. better off going with those sites that are advertised on TV.

Joke
Review about SpeedDate.comWas on FB.... Meet singles for a few bucks a month.... What a Joke. The Joke was on me. Cancelled the renew a few months into contract. Don't waste your time,time is money. Charged the full amount at signup. chatted with a few women,got faved ??? Never saw them again. Checked out scams about dating sites. I suggest everyone do this. Some of the women go by many different names... It's a scam some well versed individual overseas with a script suckers men and women into online relationships... Wait, I did meet and go out with "1" woman. Wow, after our third date, we all know the third date, she informed me she is a witch. Yeah a WITCH... Great, that sums up SpeedDate...
Pros
Entertaining,If you like to waste money and time.
Cons
Everything
watch out non muslim man who calls him self Williams Cole from Canada
Review about Muslima.comthis is his fake e-mail [email protected]
Thank you so much for the nice email my dear. I think it is time to introduce myself... I don't know what I should tell you about myself in the first place... Perhaps I will start with the simplest . My name is Williams cole . I have been reverted to Islam 2 months ago and i am now call Abdul Kalil . I was born in the month of January , I was born in Belleville Ontario in Canada . My life story is quite controversial . i am the eldest son of my late parents .I never got to meet my mom...........well let me not scare you with all of that........ i would really like to get to know you better . I am looking for a kind and sincere woman that would like to get to know me and wants to be with me forever . I KNOW relationship always depends on trusting each other , understanding , being sincere , loving , caring and being there for each other . I want you to know first before anything that i am a very God fearing Person but i don't criticize other people's believe or religion .
I am very easy to get along with .I am funny , exciting , and an optimistic man who is reliable and loyal.... I am always looking forward to the future , but enjoy the present as well . i like interior design reading , and sleeping . I also like to travel. I am willing to help my partner in any way I can. I don"t mind compromise . I hope i have found you . I have tried as much as possible never to allow my relationship with allah to affect my romance life in any way whatsoever . My mom was originally from India while Dad was from Canada . Presently, i am in South Africa for an important matter concerning my late Dad's death .I am Thinking of relocating to anywhere especially United kingdom if i find my true love .All i want is to be happily married . I am sure allah willing ,we shall be united together in one matrimony ..... I love warm weather, tropical drinks and sandy beaches. I like to party and have fun. I don't want no more drama in my life. I like romantic evenings and bedroom talks. I'm a real man looking for a real woman , i love to be with my loved one all alone and be with her for the rest of my life.
Little about my father and my job . My mother passed away a very long time ago shortly after she gave birth to my younger brother well that was when i knew what it takes to be the eldest son of a family of two. Without a mother,my father was a successful business man he was a contractor , i went to the University of California spent 2 years there and after that i began to work with my father as his personal auditor and we moved around for his contracts where ever he was awarded.The last contract he did before his death was in South Africa in 2009. I think i have said more than enough for the start . Can you please tell me about yourself an your family too
Best regards
and this is another one
why do you call yourself sister? you are not dear.You are more than a sister to me . When i look at you what i see is my wife and not my sister . We should not dodge from that fact dear . I am really more than happy that you sent me at least a few lines . and i want to assure you that i feel as though allah has put an end to all those my long moments of waiting . I have been waiting not living and i think its high time we began living and and not waiting . Are u really single? I am just making sure because i do not want another drama in my life . Hamda do me a favor to tell me more about yourself without living out anything . i would be more than happy .thank you once more for taking your time to email me be blessed
Abdul
and another one
thank you for for opening up to me . I understand that it is only trust and love that can make someone to give so much trust to a stranger . I always enjoy reading messages from people i care about and your messages i must confess have carried me away . I am thinking of leaving from here and come straight to you .................it depends on how we feel for each other . I am not a very proud person . i am not poor either but one thing is certain i am not a very happy person . My Dad's death is a bad tragedy to me . Although before he died he left enough funds for my upkeep which i will soon receive from the security company, all of this cannot be compared to happiness . My dear , i have always wanted to meet the right woman .That woman who will touch my heart , that woman who shall take care of me , love me and give me a happy home . Honestly something tells me you are this person i have been longing for . Although i have never been to your country ,if you want, i can come straight there so we can start a solid relationship . But it depends how fast am able to get things done here . I need nothing more than a real woman . A woman that would truly show me love ,care and treat me right ... I would have loved to get a flight straight to your home from here but then we have to take it slow because speed does not only kill on the highway . It does in relationship as well . Anyway one week of serious conversation is enough to make me come straight to your home . As a matter of fact i just want to have a serious and long lasting relationship that can make me happy all my life . Please do me a favor by being there for me always . If there is anything else you would like to know about me, feel free to ask me i am ready when you are.I miss u so much
Williams

Pros
there are a lot of genuine Muslims who is looking for good companion.
Cons
there is also a lot of time wester and scam artiest also,
excellent dating advice. funny too
Review about Ask HeartbeatI have been a reader of ms heartbeats advice since she was on AOL in the 1990s. She does not play. Helped me a lot after my breakup. Now I'm married to a guy I never would have picked without her help.
Pros
Direct, funny, open and not afraid of tough subjects.
Cons
Was only once per week but now daily so this con doesn't apply anymore.
its not that great
Review about Military CupidIts just a simple dating site... Nothing like fb of course. Its not that bad if your smart... Most of the profiles can and can not be fake but then again I think every site is like that. I've met a couple of good guys( friends) and I've met some really rude men as well. As far as(porn sites) and ( prostitutes) go I haven't ran into any lol. It all goes back to just being careful with what you share... Simple as that.
Pros
Meet people from all over the country
Cons
Paying for better quality... And not being able to read messages.thats pretty lame honestly.
TOTALLY FAKE!
Review about FilipinoCupidBeware of ANY profile featuring beautiful girls! These people are either men posing as the girl pictured, using photos stolen from somewhere, or ANY person attempting to cheat you out of a few bucks. Almost all of them will tell you they don't have a webcam or a cellphone. Even if you do see them on webcam, it's either prerecorded or a girl put up to it by a pimp-type boss. Many are "too good to be true" and when you tell them you can't afford to give money, they get nasty and end the chat...never to be heard from again!! This a classic case of the cunning preying on the stupid! Don't let it happen to you!
Pros
There most certainly are many genuine young ladys on Cupid who would make a great wife! I know this to be fact because I've lived in the Philippines for 3 years. My advice: If you are seriously concidering marrying a Filipina, GO THERE to begin your search in person. You can live for 30-60 days very inexpensively and properly court a lady in a more appropriate and efficient way. Stay away from big city girls (and big cities) You will be pleasantly surprized at the selection of fine young ladys. They are EASY to meet in public. It IS TRUE, they really don't put much importance on how you look. They value a real gentleman and focus on finding true love. Go about it the right way and you will not be disappointed!!
Cons
I don't have much confidence in the entire concept of internet dating when there's 8,000 miles between you and her! There really is no sure-fire way of connecting with a girl online and realizing her compatibility to you though chat and webcam. It makes all the difference in the world to be local and set up a simple date. You will learn more about her in the first 30 minutes than you would chatting for a month! Mistakes are easily and quickly chocked as history and the quest goes on. Read what I said above. You could spot her out in public, walk up and introduce yourself, and the next thing you know, you have a dinner date with her that night. No games, no waiting, no guessing! Good luck!
Regarding Muslima.com
Review about Muslima.comMuslima.com is owned and operated by ECom Holdings, Inc which is an investment company. Muslima bought out Muslim Matrimonials Network which at that time was really the only useful matrimonials. It was a sad day when the transfer happened, as a user I lost so many contacts/girlfriends I used to contact there. Muslima.com was not the same as MMN as it was referred to. Muslima.com can and does work but it is not the fault of the website as much as the people who join who have half witted intention. All Muslim themed Matrimonials slide down a slippery slope when its members are not the best in their religion. When a non-Muslim tries to run a Muslim themed site they miss out on a lot of critical needs the Muslims have.
Muslima.com has a lot of fake profiles as did MMN but why? Why do webmasters feel that urge to blast they have thousands or millions of users and maybe only have 500? This is outright dishonest. And thats is what the Muslims see and they become discouraged.
Pros
It joins Muslims where as it can be hard to meet so many Muslims.
Cons
It is not run via Islamic way.
OMG SOMEONE IN THIS COMPANY TAMPER WITH MY PROFILE!
Review about WealthyMen.comI CREATED A PROFILE AND PAID, NEXT FEW DAYS I TRY TO WRITE SOME OF THE MEMBERS AND MY PHOTOS WERE CHANGED?rnI WAS FULLY DRESSED I DON'T UNDERSTAND.rnAFTER CALLING AND COMPLAINING MY GENDER WAS THEN CHAGED.

WEIRD. THEN I CALLED IN AND THEY CLAIN TO HAVE A TECH TEAM...YEAH RIGHT. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT 24 HOURS FO EACH CALL EACH PROBLEM WHICH LEAD ME FROM THE 1ST OF NOV TIL THE 10TH STILL HAVING PROBLEMS.rnFINALLY THE SUPERVISOR WENT IN AND CLEARED THE NEW PROFILE FOR ME SO I COULD WRITE MY FRIEND I SENT A MESSAGE AND HOPEFULLY IT GOT TO HIM, BECAUSE WHEN I LOGGED IN LATER MY PROFILE WAS ONCE AGAIN BLOCKED.....THIS SITE IS NOT GOOD.rnIF YOU DON'T WANT FUSTRATION DONT BOTHER.rnTHE EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS YOU ARE IN COMPETITION FOR THE SAME GUYS IF THEY SEE YOU WRITING SOMEONE THEY ARE ALSO WRITING YOU MAY GET BLOCKED....FOR NO REASON AT ALL
