A Disappointing Experience.
August 1, 2025

I afraid too report that l was talking to a male l found on this site, and was nice and flirty too start with, but as soon as l asked my friend about my situation with him, everything changed, and he distant. And doesn't want too take a video call.

My advice is to avoid it
May 16, 2025

Lies and money scam! They send you teaser messages claiming that many people liked you and that these people are trying to get in touch. They cheat other subscribers by saying that you liked them. I was completely blown away by women on AFF69.com
And when I started going on dates through that service I took my FreeDating profile down – I understood that there was nothing to do there. After that they tried to put unauthorized charges on my cc three times, although they confirmed in our correspondence that my profile was removed from their site. I strongly advise anyone never to join this lame site. Don't believe this fake site and these fake likes!

Just avoid this lame site
May 4, 2025

The layout of the site is unappealing and strange. Its content is even worse: fake profiles, catfishers from all over the world and plenty of outright scam artists. They have very low quality women. The array of people is not large and women are not serious. FreeDating is a joke, a time-waster. Please don't pay any money for this garbage. It's utterly useless for those looking for dates and/or relationship. I got off cheap because I quickly picked up on how fake the site was but I thought I would "let the world know". Just avoid this clunky lame site.

Corrupt and phony, money pit
April 29, 2025

Outrageously expensive and blatantly corrupt from start to finish! The women aren't sincere. There is no end to their greed for your money. All they do is exploit the lonely people. They don't have honest ladies at all. They must employ people to "work" for their site writing messages and chatting. Now that I reentered the dating scene, I tried out FreeDating (got reeled in via ads) and was shocked at how overpriced, corrupt and phony it was. I have no wish to experiment furthermore.

They don't even try to prevent scam
February 28, 2025

Low cost- low value: Freedating is a perfect proof of this. It's not really free, it's just cheaper than others, but it's really horrible. Most messages are computer generated. It's hard to find anyone real. On top of this, they have more men than women, so that really complicated the search for all men.
By the way, Freedating admins monitor and modify all messages but not because they want to figure out and ban scammers. They don't even try to prevent scam. All they care about is not to let you switch to free media. Anyway, I left Freedating because I have better things to do with my time.

Management is a joke
August 14, 2022

Only giving it 3 stars.
I've used this site many times. Firstly they kept deleting or suspending my account every couple of weeks. I don't know if idiot men who call me fake, report my page, what becauze I don't like them or they are too old for the age bracket I set my preferences to?
I even complained 4 times including today! And they send me email saying we believe your profile is fake. What the actual...
They then said they would put my profile back up so saves me having to writ my bio all over again and said they would make a note of it under my email address. So what happens again today? 14/08/22, they suspend my profile I only made it yesterday. After emailing them asking why everytime I filter my messages to the age bracket I want it never works. That's when I found my account suspended then they keep saying sorry it will 'never' happen again. What a joke. Dumb people being employed for this company.

Great dating site
May 28, 2022

I've read tonight with interest on here the reviews about Freedating.Co.uk
Most reviews were negative but I've found it really good. Yes it still has its fakes, time wasters etc but every site has that sadly. I find there is always someone to chat to and I've had a few dates form here.

My great sadness is tonight I've logged in any it seems it is no more I've tried Logging in a number of times and keep getting a tech issue msg. I really hope it's a 24 hr thing as I was talking to a Couple of really nice guys :(

I found a better platform http://J4Dating.com
I don't regret this decision. It seems to be a legit site, working properly and attracting genuine women. I keep in everyday contact on Whatsapp with 3 women I met there.
Freedating is very unreliable compared to the other dating sites. Despite its name it's not really free. It's a time-waster with bunch of fakes and bots. 8 out of 11 accounts I communicated with were banned.
I think it's created for baiting people into buying a premium membership. But the problem is they have very suspicious and questionable profiles. You waste your time there and nothing is happening for months.

100% SCAM
June 3, 2021

The majority of female profiles are fake. I don't know why they call themselves free dating. They are not free. But if you can afford a paid dating site - J7Date.com
Is a better option. They have real women, no bots and no fakes. They have been time tested. I used to have dates through them. Actually there are a lot of better options since FreeDating is pretty much a waste of time. Moreover, they are money fraud. They mostly have bots and fakes. They gave me no dates, the only thing they did was taking my money. Their goal is to make a short-term profit by selling you a long-term paid membership. They modify and monitor messages. They stipulate it that you communicate only via their platform. Any other form of contact is blocked. There are plenty of scammers. I have been asked for money nearly 10 times in 2 months.

This dating site by far is even worse than POF which I thought was bad enough, especially after the Covid-19 outbreak. First of all like someone else put here, there's hardly any women around my age group. The few younger ones that are on are ugly, bad tempered, single mums who block you just for sending a simple message. There are quite a few good looking older women so I tried messaging one of them. Not for a relationship, only to try and get someone nice to talk to. Same old thing! She blocked me too, obviously because women that age are not interested in men my age. Honestly? These websites are getting to the point where guys will be going on medication for women giving them mental health issues.

Terrible site
July 27, 2020

I left this site after 3 weeks. There were no women in my age group at all, and it appears there are only lonely women aged 50 and 60+ who are on it. Very disappointed in this dating site. I would not bother joining if you are reading my review.

Not real
March 31, 2020

Most of the women on this site do not exist, just photos with somebodys musings written beside them, if you watch seemingly desperate women spend months just wandering round the site. You can spot the ones that have been there and are just plants to draw you in to joining other sites plus the odd tart that gets through the checks. Why would a beautiful 25 year want to meet urgently with a 65 year? Get real free dating you are a scam most of the time!,

So far so good..
September 14, 2019

Let's not forget this is a free site so you know you will have to sift out the good from the bad and as free sites go I think it's fine except too many are allowed without having a profile picture but you can just block them or change settings in mail to stop them contacting so that doesn't lose the site a point.
I particularly like the warnings about sending sexual content in messages and an option shown for sexual chat sites if you prefer that sort of chat, I don't and it's a welcome change not to be bombarded with it and feel kind of protected from it.
I've checked my email for this 'spamming' accusation from the site and so far not one of that type of email has been received.
I also just contacted because I put the wrong location on my profile and was contacted back and rather quickly on how to solve the problem, which is a rarity from these types of sites.

After joining Freedating.co.uk, I was bombarded with spam emails of a sexual nature. My email address was obviously used to sell to scammers!

I adhered to site's terms and conditions yet, for some reason I received a ban. Instead of my profile being removed from site, as one would expect, my details and photos were still available for other users to view. As I no longer had access to my account, there was no option to delete. When contacting 'Freedating.co.uk' to ask why I had received ban, the obnoxious creep, named Dan Winchester, refused to provide a reason for the ban. I explained that I adhered to T&Cs, to which he replied 'I can chose who I want and don't want on my site', thus confirming that said ban wasn't justified. Disgusting attitude! I receive a ban, for no reason, yet Freedating.co.uk, won't remove my details and photos. Clearly just a scam site to obtain personal details!

Free but
May 31, 2019

Not many members, and full of adverts, well it is free, and as such it ok ish... but dont even think of sending any rude words, or any type of innuendo, even if your comment or the words you use maybe on the profile of the person you are messaging, you will get your account suspended, no chance of appeal. A real person reads your messages, to decide if you were rude, i can only imagine he is stuck in the Victorian age. Save yourself some time and effort and join POF ot Twoo both are free and infinitely better sites

Account suspended for no reason.
January 22, 2019

Account suspended for no reason.
I attempted to join this site, filled my profile in as required and uploaded approx 5 photo's, the following day i logged in to be told my account was suspended and there was a list of guidelines it said i had breached, i went through the guidelines and there was nothing there that i had breached so i contacted them only to receive a response from a Dan Winchester informing me my account was linked to a fake account, now this was not possible, as anyone who 1st joins knows that your account remains invisible to other users untill it has been approved by the moderators of the site, so therefore no one other than the employees of Freedating.co.uk could have seen my profile or photo's to use for a fake account.
Dan Winchester is now insisting that i send them a photo ID with my DOB and full address, perfect for an ID fraud! I will not be sending any photo ID and strongly advise anyone else not to should they get the same very odd request, Not only that, but they have locked me out of my account so i'm unable to delete my photo's that remain in their database, it's all a very odd set up indeed!
