I enjoy my membership with AFF as much as I do it with couple other sites I use to have a guaranteed success (check out Hookuphangout.com for example). But guys, stop complaining that there are so many fake members on the site! Yes, dating industry is suffering from Nigerian scam and cam girls. Keep your mind clear and don't send any money to the members of the site. None of real members would ask money from you. And if hot looking girls inviting your to another site to have a private chat - report them straight away!
Been on the site for couple months and had some fun... AFF is probably the second best site after HookupHangout
Been a while, but i got in plenty of trouble, on that site. Mostly dude's wives on there.
If you're good looking & have a personality, it works fine.
Not my type of deal any longer, plus, it's been hacked & anyone can find your real I.D., if you're a member.
I reviewed this site after I joined and promised to add another review after a month. Ive finished my subscription and wanted to report my research here. First of all, the site has a lot of real women, maybe not as many options as more modern sites like HookupHangout has, but still plenty to keep you busy for the first few weeks. Secondly, Ive not tried the app so this is only based on using the site on my laptop. Third, the site is easy to use and you can use your email to log in without having to go back to the site each time you want to visit the site. Ive not yet decided to renew or not, but probably will keep going as I feel im close to an actual hook up with some of the chats ive got going. Will write another review if I do.
I sat up a user name and profile just so I could browse through and see the goods. I never paid and I'm damn glad I didn't. If you do a browse search you can pick a state and see the numbers of "men seeking women" and "women seeking men" There are roughly 20 men for every 1 woman. Who in their right mind would pay for a site that is that lopsided? If you're a man that is. I guess women have the pick of the litter but if you're a man, forget it. I've been told I look like Triple H when he had long hair. Body and all. I got 5 views in 3 months and of the 5,3 sent messages and 2 hotlisted me. But that was it. So just bag any ideas of actually finding someone on this site---or any other site for that matter. They're all a scam.
This site has drawn the most immoral rude filthy disgusting dregs of society that has ever lived. This seems like perfect hunting grounds for a psychopath; and scammers are rampant throughout
I'm a relatively handsome fella. Ask me, I won't lie. In any case I've never really had a problem having a woman on my arm. A few weeks hitting the clubs, beaches, restaurants, and in general being on the prowl to find a honey... I've never failed. At least until I tried hooking up on AFF. This place is a joke. Good looking women generally don't exist here or are as rare as a unicorn. Fat and ugly women think far too much of themselves. And then don't get me going on all the fake profiles. I've been casually visiting the site for about 3 months and have gotten squat, zero, zilch. I get more from the honey at the checkout in the local grocery store. AFF cn have the money, I just need to get my dignity back! I'm embarrassed to have wasted my time on such a place. Do yourselves a favor guys... bird in hand, there's no bush for you on AFF, check out someone the old fashioned way... buy yourself an escort with the money you would waste on a place like AFF.
For those who don't heed my advice... HA
I joined this site almost 2 months ago and had 300 responses responded to everyone and in return got f*****, and they don't mean literally, so anyone else that wants to throw their money away to any of these sites except for the the basic date sites not any of these f***ing sites then go ahead and throw your money away because you're talking to nobody but a computer and a idiot out there! Good luck to all because the internet is a f****** rip off!
We created an account on AFF looking for couples. I answered some of their questions and did not uploaded any pictures at all... almost a blank profile. Not even a day later, my profile got approved, and I start getting e-mails about couples wanting to meet me. Really? Without even seeing what we look like? I came to realize that this is nothing but spam and scam just waiting to take your hard earned money.
Don't get yourself fooled. Remember, super models don't use dating sites. Look for real looking women. There's a lot of them on AFF. If you aren't lucky enough, try other sites (both Flirtydater.com and Hookuphangout.com work like a charm for me)
They require you to sign up for "gold" and pay for it. Then delete the profile after taking the money with no explaination and without responding to conatct and questions.
Simple theft.
My id was: shysissybimbo
Possibly the worst dating site in history, abuse is rife, in chat rooms and message form.
Customer service (what a joke) is non existent, they never reply. Chat room is full of people with multiple accounts cyber bullying anyone who does not take their side.
Unless you pay for membership, you can do nothing on the site.
Avoid, save your money and your sanity by staying the hell away!
Overall I cant say AFF is too bad, but more than likely going will only get a fat chick if you are lucky. I prefer XratedSingles.com instead as their are much hotter chicks on there.
I've used AFF off and on for over ten years with some success. For men it is a big money pit, but there were ways to work around that. Until now. Logging in and doing things like adding photos gave you points you could spend on sending a message to a member. That doesn't work now. Unless you are a $30 a month Gold member, you can't read replies to your messages. Now you also can't spend points on a month's worth of Gold membership without sending copies of documents to verify your identification. After the Ashley Madison privacy breach, nobody should send copies of personal information to these kinds of adult websites. I can't believe AFF has the gall to force such a policy after the Ashley Madison breach.
Besides all that, like I say AFF is a money pit for men, and it takes advantage of them. Women get to apply for free Gold memberships. Membership revenue is a burden that men carry through inflated fees. There used to be lower priced membership options like "Silver" available. Not anymore. The membership cost is not worth it because most of the profiles are spammers, or fake profiles set up by women who sort of want to live out just a cyber fantasy or just be the center of attention from large numbers of grovelling males ages 18-99. They're rewarded with free Gold memberships to keep the population of women on the site looking healthy. But think about that: they have to pay them with a free gold membership to kind of look active.
If you don't live in a big city your chances of actual contact are few and far between. AFF is a waste of time and money. I think these kinds of sites have had there day. Less people are willing to play such high costs for something of very little value -- which is why AFF has made things more expensive.
A new wave of apps and adult dating sites are poised to take their place, and now the owners of AFF don't have the money to buy the competition out like they used to. Good riddance to AFF. They deserve to be broke, busted, and go away. I have found other sites where a hookup can be had. It usually appears they don't have as many members on other sites, but like I say a lot of the women on AFF are fakes, not really active, or are just there to get off on the attention.
We joined this site out of curiosity. We were not happy with it and cancelled our subscription before the first month was over. However, they charged our credit card anyway. I have had nothing but the run around through emails and phone calls. First, they agreed to refund money, then when I called they said they couldn't refund it. I turned it over to BBB and once again they agreed to pay and wanted to verify my address before sending a check. When the check never came, I sent another email only to receive the same blanket response that a refund could not be issued. They are frauds and liars. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD!
I joined AFF some months ago. What can I say. Ofcourse here and there some fakes but it works sometimes.
But what i must say is, that datingme.org works better for me. I got more emails and I find a nice girlfriend there. Just check it out:-)
If you think that this site is legit, ask yourself how many girls could you walk up to on the street and ask to see their $#*!? The punches in the face you would get would far outweigh anything that you would see. Why would anyone expect to see hundreds and hundreds of them showing it here? These are the same ripoff artists that will tell you that Ashley Madison isn't a scam! How's that working out? Not too good. The hackers didn't take them down for no reason. They need to get working and clean the rest of these pigpens out! Most people won't admit to being robbed by one of these sites. I was one of them that was. Had to close my checking account, and cancel my credit card. By the time that I realized that all these profiles and pictures can't be real, it was too late. It isn't too late for you, if you pay attention. These are thieves. All these sites are linked. Check out the overseas addresses of them. Why are so many from Cypress? Malta? Nigeria? That's where your credit card information is going. Good luck with that. They sign you up with other scam sites and dip into your account to pay for them. Then it's up to you to get rid of them all. They were charging me for 3 sites before I could stop them. They use outside billing agencies as stooges to do their dirty work for them. If hacks take the site down, your name, checking, and credit information goes up for all to see. If you like being spoofed with fake profiles, stolen pictures, and endless email addresses that end with xyz, or fooled with bogus phone numbers and 3 word messages, these sites are for you. If not, take the advice and stay away.
Pretty much the same business model as match.com
Essentially the only difference is the inclusion of racy and nude pics on this site
Please reference my review on match.com to get a better idea of how both companies operate.
One of the better hook up sites. Detailed questionnaire and preferences and testimonials of members. Friendly and undemanding men who are more gentlemanly than you would expect from a site like this and actually willing to meet and treat. I found it safe and fun and not a waste of time like other dating sites. Get exactly what you want.
Aff is the worst scamming, rip off, fake site out there. Beware – Stay away!
Popular scamming methods:
- within minutes of registering with AFF you get FAKE messages in your inbox from people supposedly looking to hook up with you; when you reply – you get response that they did not send any message
- you get "flirts" but nobody viewed you?
- you get flirts from members with no paid subscription (NOT possible)
- customer service is horrible, lying scamming enterprise
- you get special promotion & discount 20% off to upgrade, but "special" price for 30 days is greater then regular price for 30 days
- they send you email messages that someone wants to "meet you" but nobody even have seen your profile
- most of the time you see exactly the same profiles presented to you when log in, it is like these profiles are online for days and weeks
- …
Other con's:
- FAKE, fake, fake site full of scammers, rip off artists and fake profiles
- There is absolutely NOTHING you can do there, without having to pay first; can not really see anyone, can not send or read messages, flirts,…nothing for free
It is too bad that there are no mark zero stars, so 1 star will have to do it, but even that is too much.
Answer: If you are a man it's nearly impossible to meet a nice woman there! If you are a woman, no matter what you look like, you will get inundated with messages from all kinds of men. For those men who don't want to get involved in this crazy and fierce battle for the woman, there is a better option: http://j4Iove.com It's time-saving and money-saving, and what matters most of all they have really awesome-looking, super-hot women, who are hungry for men. I had gone on dates with several girls, so it's all real and working.
Answer: If you see a blue symbol next to someone's profile on AFF indicating that you're friends, but you don't appear on each other's friends list, it's possible that the person has blocked or removed you from their friends list.
Answer: Short answer, YES. Stay away from this site. It is as bad as Ashley Madison and Asia Me, both of which are nothing but frauds and scammers as well. If you are looking for a sex date(?) any place will do. But if you are looking for a relationship go grocery shopping in an area that you like and keep your eyes open. I have met some really nice women there.
Answer: Yes adultfriendfinder.com is secure and within googles guidelines. You can read more about it https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95617?hl=en
Answer: People can be offline for hours and it will still show them online. I have met and talked to many people who had no idea they were signed on at all.
