Sheri D.

Who wouldn't love a dating site that promises to hookup US boys and girls to the British boys and girls who love them? So... some friends and I decided to do some investigation into I Love Your Accent, or Accent Publishing's Iloveyouraccent.com.
And what an eye opener it was.

First off, all of my friends and I are genuinely single and looking. And that, true believers, is where the genuineness of Iloveyouraccent.com ends.

How many people sign up for a dating website and immediately, I mean within just a few minutes, get a response? Hands please. Ah... no one. Just as I thought; but I digress.

Looks like Iloveyouraccent.com works like this:
First, you create a profile.
Next you add some interesting tidbits about yourself and maybe add a photo or two.
Finally, you wait.

But on Iloveyouraccent.com, you don't have to wait long.

Almost immediately, I got a response from Andyboy.
Next I got a response from Eyeofthebeholder. (All correspondence was copied and documented.)

At this point, my friends and I are thinking Cmon. Get real. We took the bait.
And what bait it was.
Eyeofthebeholder described himself as a 62 London born guy living in NYC. While he was what my friends deemed "very handsome," his second photo looked totally photo shopped to my eyes. But then, that photo shop thing, maybe thats all in the eye of the beholder.

Moving on. At this point, I email Rochelle, the perky Brit who sings the praises of her site right from the front steps of her webpage.
I asked Rochelle a question. I wanted her to respond to the criticism that her site uses fake profile in order to entice people into upgrading (paying the $20 fee) to become premium members. (Unless you pay the fee, you cannot connect with "members.")
Rochelle vehemently denied ever haven taken part in any such actions. She offered that her site cannot be held responsible for vetting $20 members. That was the first day.
The next day, I received a message from TerryUK. Hows this for irony boys and girls- the person who later responded to me from Iloveyouraccent.coms admin email address, was also named Terry. I am sure it was just a coincidence.
TerryUk responded to my profile with a single question: How are you still single?
I responded back quite honestly that I was busy with work. I also disclosed to him that I was doing research on dating sites and wondered if he might want to answer a few questions. That one question unleashed a maelstrom of activity from the Iloveyouraccent. Com admin team.
Within just a few minutes of posing the question to TerryUK, my profile was deleted. Iloveyouraccent. Com removed my picture, inbox messages, ability to send messages, etc. The whole shebang. Gone. Gone. Gone.

It seems that the admin team at Iloveyouraccent. Com doesnt take kindly to any sort of questions about their business practices. They went from we cant be held responsible to verify $20 memberships to you posted on our website under false pretenses. What a difference a day makes.
So, all you US and Brit boys and girls looking for love, what's a guy to make of all of this?
Ill leave you to decide.
Did I mention that I'm a guy and that I did this with female friends who assured me that Iloveyouraccent. Com was a fake? They warned me- fake profiles with crazy hair, immediate answers in order to entice you to upgrade, always the same people in the chat rooms, never more than 100 or so people in the chat rooms, irregular billing practicesyou name it.
Dang, I hate to be proven wrong. And I was so looking forward to my own personal Brit girl with a posh accent like the queen.
Oh well back to the bars and the gyms for real life ladies without the $20 buck entry fee.
Beer anyone?
