If you can't afford an affair, don't have one.

If you can't afford an affair, don't have one.

I've been using Illicit Encounters for over 3 years, I have also used dozens of other dating sites. In fact I met my first and second wife on dating sites and use Illicit Encounters to look for discreet affairs.

Like the others I have found some of the 'issues' they described but lets be realistic here, you get scammers, 'professionals' on ALL dating sites, I found that if I reported these people to the admin of Illicit Encounters, they dealt with them pretty quickly - it is not in their interest to have these people on their site after all and it's bad for business.

The site is expensive I guess - it really is relative. How much do you value being able to arrange a discreet affair in privacy and in your own time ? Sure I could go to a pub, club but where am I going to find the time to crawl dozens of venues, potentially exposing myself in public ? Like my title, having an affair and keeping it discreet is not cheap so the price of the membership really is almost irrelevant if you get what you are looking for. The price is high to keep male / female ratio balanced and it is also a kind of commitment barrier, you are not going to fork out that money if you are going to be a tyre kicker. Also people forget there is the element of 'Prestige' - it is a premium site ... Just because you cannot afford a Ferrari, does not then make Ferrari a crap car etc - talk about sour grapes

People will always complain and make excuses or blame the service for their own failures, I mean if you going on with a username like 'Cl*t Licker' - do you really expect women to respond to you ? Some people are just stupid and no matter how much they pay, they will still fail.

I won't recommend this to friends/family - people that tick that, ummm yeah right. I would recommend it to a stranger anonymously however with a bit of advice...

Don't be naive, people are never who they seem to be, especially online.

Take things slow.

Be careful about your identity until you are sure and ready to meet someone face to face.

Report the scammers.

Don't be a cheap skate.

Pros
Premium site, good female to male ratio

Lots of membership options

Good support

New features and updates frequently - keeps site fresh and exciting.

Cons
Possibly Price but if you make the effort, you shouldn't have to pay for a long membership.

Not easy - but then if something was too easy, it probably isn't worth keeping

This review is patently written by Illicit Encounters themselves. Anyone who has had the misfortune to use and pay for membership of the site knows that all of the above is the very same justification they use in their marketing guff. At least try to be a little less obvious when faking your reviews IE. Although since the fake female profiles you create and send fake messages from are equally easy to spot, I guess you don't have the intelligence to do so.

Agree with boy Robin - this review is obviously done by Illicit Encounters / an employee.
It WAS a good site - its NOT NOW - the cost of an affair is irrelevant to the cost of the site, its about the people you meet through the site and I am another one who agrees that it is now a home for the sex workers / scammers / and employees of IE recruiting for membership commissions.
I have used the site several times over the years - at one time it was possible to meet someone for a discreet affair, NOT NOW you will just be milked of your cash.
There are far far better

This is funny - the review itself which does seem a bit self-promoting ( probably to bump down other negative PR ) and the negative PR people like vultures diving in to discredit anything positive about a competitor product lol

Basically - people can judge from themselves instead of reading bollocks on review sites like this

I am surprised to see so many complaints regarding scammers and fake profiles for IE. You have to consider the source- people who obviously have FAKE marriages, and live fake lives. What do you expect? If you want honesty, then why have an affair and lie to the person you promised to stay faithful to? You are all dishonest and fake. And to think you're willing to PAY to have an affair with someone from the Internet. Only desperate losers have to pay to meet someone. Don't take your personal insecurities out on people smart enough to capitalize on your downfalls. If you ask me, I think they're pretty smart. And I hope your husbands/wives figure out the charge coming out of your account and leave you with your precious Internet affairs with people you don't even know. How would you feel then?
