Like Vince this was my first experience with dating website. MWM I was looking for affair material....stayed on xxxmatch way to long!!! Just canceled my membership! Nothing but one line messages and invites to video sex. I'm now involved with a women I found on Ashley Madison!
Pros
Lots of video sex if thats what you're looking for
Cons
No women looking for real contact.....
I was looking for a relationship outside my marriage and over a year or so used several sites including AshleyMadison, AffairLInk, SweetDicreet, GoHookUp, XXXMatch and Lonely Housewives. I had multiple contacts with real women looking for affairs on AshleyMadison. I am currently involved with one of those women and we are having a great time...I was very frustrated with the other sites. Most appeared to be funnels for paid video chat/sex....particularly xxxmatch, SweetDiscreet. Havent been on AL or GHU as long, but they look like the same. I did meet what appeared to be several real women on Lonely Housewives but both were too far away to meet up with. Fun to talk to though.
Pros
Real women looking to hookup.....most missing passion at home. Some dubious contacts, but sort through them.
Cons
Does take some $ to get through the process but like the guy said above....if you really want to hook up, its gonna cost ya in hotel bills anyway so be realistic! Ive spent $$$ over the past several months at hotels, meeting once a week and splitting the bills!
