Really cool website with plenty of information for guy from sex to fashion. All for free and online. Think of it as Maxim online but with more editorial content and fewer hot girls.

“Dont bother”

Im a female that got involved trying to understand the male psyche when i dated some Interesting guys. A waste of time. Women are accused of hating men before even saying it. Women are bullied because they apply scumbag before to all men but these "decent men" on the website dont call out their mates on their intolerable behaviour. One person even said they were suicidal and were then urged to stop talking about it. A bunch of low lives who have nothing better to do than destroy others online

Adult Friend Finder is a fake as they come yet AskMen claims they are real and highly rate them. I have extensive experience with the online dating scene and especially AFF. I have been a paid member and after utter failure for my decent looks etc, I created movie star good looks profiles and still got bogus replies and never agreement to meet. Mind you I never replied to ugly woman, only average to decent looks.
Don't trust AskMen reviews. They must be paid to recommend them or have a financial gain in some manner. AFF is a joke and is NOT a REAL site and takes advantage of and rips off lonely men seeking honest hookups.

I tried to read a couple articles on this site. They kept refreshing and changing the position of the scroll bar. I could only get a few words into a sentence before I was suddenly at a different part of the page. It was very frustrating, especially since I was genuinely interested the articles I tried reading. This is some of the poorest website programming I've ever encountered, and it's unfortunate because it could otherwise be interesting.

These people are low-lives and trash. They keep sending me disgusting newsletters and spamming my email box constantly and I have absolutely nothing to do with their website.
I go through the unsubscribe process and then it confirms I am unsubscribed. I still constantly receive crap from them and I am so sick of their garbage.

I had nothing to do with them before, they need to stop shoving their crap down my throat and spamming me so badly!

For about six months I was fairly active on their guyq board. On this board, users ask questions that other users answer and sometimes even staff members participate. The board is divided into various categories depending on the nature of the questions asked there. There's about ten categories like health, dating, career, music, sports, and grooming to name a few as well as a "general" section for everything in between. To be clear: this site welcomes literally any question within reason. And that's good.

However, it is incredibly obvious that the dating and sex categories dominate the board's traffic. All other sections might make up twenty percent, and that's being generous. What's worse is that the majority of the questions asked in these two areas are repetitive, usually along the lines of "she dumped me, how do I get her back?", "I like her, how do I pursue her?", and "our sex lives are incompatible, what do I do?"

I actually applaud the staff for providing an environment where we can freely ask anything, but I am greatly disappointed to see that out of the infinite mysteries of Heaven and Earth and the human mind, all anyone wants to do is complain about their relationships.

The board is "lightly policed". The staff members are ever present, but they do very little to intervene. They seem to have a list of "deadly sins" that will get a user banned (heavy profanity, threatening, etc), but even banned users can simply create another user account and continue on the site. Despite the rules that are enforced, there's actually a lot of room for needless bullying and group shaming that nothing is done about.

So basically, a typical experience on askmen.com guyq is to log in, go straight to the sex category (because there's nothing new anywhere else), ignore the guy who wants to know if the girl who keeps touching his penis likes him, and answer the guy who wants to know if he has a chance with the girl who told him to go #### himself and lit his car on fire. Inevitably you get a backlash from other users (saying things they NEVER would say to your face) who don't agree with you, including that one guy who's already been banned twice but has nothing better to do with his life.

Askmen.com is too mature for it's *******@Once_ler

The message board is a zoo and needs to be shut down immediately. Extremely poorly moderated, not a pleasant place. Pile-on bullying common. Stupidity and ignorance reigns. Major creep hangout. Do not even go there. Really.
