Who actually gives these people their credit card number to "proove they have no cirimial background?" Do people realize these companies cant track you by the card... the only thing they will do is... steal your money and run.
Few examples:
-I'll be straight to the point babe. If you want to meet me you need to get a Significant Other Certificate
-Well if youre free tonight Im good to go if you want to meet, Alright but before we meet I want to make sure I'm not meeting with someone who is either a convict, drug addict or an offender. If you are willing to get a Security ID and Certificate which is for free Co'z Its for security purposes only co'z I met someone before and I got only robbed and he attacked me. That's a very traumatic experience. Hhmm I just wanted to be safe. Hope you understand it. -*-/-/-/-/-*-*
-Okay this is the Instructions on how to get SAFETY ID and Certificate It takes 5 minutes or less to finish your registration and I am so excited to meet you just follow this instructions and let me also know if you have problems on doing it, okay?-*-*-

Dont be confused on card form, the site is safe and free from charges. Okay? Why it need a card? Its because the system needs to know that youre capable on buying something inside which is not necessary to do on my page. So once your now inside the members area just dont buy anything.
One more...
Sounds good to me but before we meet I do have 3 conditions. First, NO taking video while we're having fun. You know what I mean lol. I don't want to be posted in any porn sites coz I am just looking for FWB/NSA not to be a famous whore lol. 2nd is I want this to keep discreet. Just between you and me... 3rd is You need to get SAFETY MEET UP Agreement first on my dating agreement site just to make sure you are serious in this kind of arrangement. Is that okay with you? You only need to accept the dating agreement and get SAFETY MEET UP ID for us to meet. I hope you understand my concerns, it won't cost you anything but a little effort and time. Hope it's fine with you.
GUYS... just dont be dumb. These Pakis are just trying to steal your card number and money. Good luck.
Okay, I am a woman currently on this site. I've read many of these reviews by you young guys claiming most of the "women" on here are scamers or you aren't having any luck getting messaged back, etc.
First, and I think the website may be $#*!ing this up because they don't filter out age grouping even though they ask you(?), in my profile I was asked my age preference to which I have listed as 30-45. MOST of the young men messaging me are 18-24? I WILL NOT message anyone back out of my age range. I even say this in my short bio! Show a lady the same respect you would want shown. If you are clearly out of the range she would prefer DO NOT MESSAGE HER AND EXPECT A REPLY!
Second, if all you are looking for is phone/text sex... yes, this has happened. Then don't expect a lot of messages either OR expect that once she is on to you, she will drop you! There are phone and computer sites where you pay a lot for this - we don't do it for free! Most of us women would like to meet someone a bit younger and enjoy each other but that would require actually meeting at some point. If you are nervous about it let us know, we get it - really! Honesty is much more attractive than telling me how hard you are going to f!@# me! It will also get you farther. Dirty talk is great but get to a point where you are in a conversation together, and actually know a bit about what you both want, before you bring the hard-core stuff out. It will also get you farther, especially if you are looking for a FWB type situation.
Lastly, $#*! pics. Myself and a couple friends who are on this site are not into that. We like chest pics, pics of you in your board shorts, even pics with you and a pet or stuffed animal is cute (and NO, I don't mean in any compromising position!). If we want more pics of you and "mini" you, we will ask - as you should ask us.
Look, I know a lot of you are there just for the hook-ups, that's fine! But, there are women who are on there for a bit more (like a FWB scenario). I have had two in my 6-7 months on the site and my current one is a-mazing. You need to read the bios, see what each woman wants, and be respectful. There are many women on here, some want hook-ups and some want a bit more. I am sure there are scam artists on here too - all sites have them. Just use your good judgement and think with your brain - not with your $#*!.
Like many other guys, I joined this site and paid for the initial trial membership, which gives you something like "six hours of first access to Cougars," or whatever; join and you'll see. I'm going to freely admit that I was alone and lonely and I gravitated to a "cougar" site because I'm in my 40's and the majority of dating sites, e.g., Match.com, Zoosk, etc., have young ladies who, let's be honest, gentlemen, want absolutely nothing to do with a guy my age. Anyway, I really took my time, thought hard about an interesting tag line; a well-written self-description and what I was looking for. I took it seriously because I'm serious about meeting someone. In less than 48 hours, I had (at last count) 302 messages from intensely beautiful goddesses, all wanting to meet and "let's see where this goes," or whatever. So, again, I put time and thought and effort into being the Most Interesting Man in the World and even willing to (nasty) drink freaking Dos Equis if absolutely necessary. Not once, after beginning the email correspondence stage of online courtship, did a single one fail to bring up the Dating ID bull$#*!. As another poor soul pointed out, these links all head directly to another shady dating site. "Where's the ID thing, [insert bot name]?" "Once you get approved I'll send you another link and we can really talk after I know you're not crazy. A girl's got to be safe." Another thing, guys, they all, ALL OF THEM, call you "baby." After I got wise and noticed the trend, I called one out and asked her why she wasn't using my first name. I had told her and she said she had forgotten and sorry. Also, I set up a special email address for just this online dating thing and included it in the first line of my profile. Nothing. No one, it seems, even reads your profile before you get a message. Also, I received three messages from three different usernames, each with the same photo -- within a couple hours. There's a place where it tells you how long ago any one member joined the site. Same picture, same bio, different username. If you do decide that you're willing to chance it, call them out IMMEDIATELY. Point out that online verification can be faked quite easily by using a stolen credit card and see what they do. If you hear back, you're the King of Virility and have fun. But, I doubt it will happen that way. Also, tell them to visit BeenVerified.com and check you out there. That's a legit background checks site and even offer to pay the $6 for the report, sent directly to their email address. It didn't work for me, but you may get lucky. Yeah, don't hold your breath because you'll die and the world will be less one thinking, functioning mind. If you're here, reading this, that means you are an intelligent, diligent individual and you're doing your research. Good on you. [UPDATE: 5/6/2016] I believe that this site is a sort of gateway to meet hookers. Yes, I said it, and, yes, I do mean it. If you go to your inbox on the site, you will likely see four or five (I found seven examples myself) messages from slightly different usernames. Example: Marg001; Margarette231: ImMarg902; and, etc. Anyway, seven different profiles; same photos of the same person; similar, scripted, cut-and-paste bio; SAME EMAIL ADDRESS included in the bio. Going further, I initiated email conversation with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON, but my email provider (Yahoo!) put those emails into the same thread, which really threw me off. I think these women get a commission or something from other Cougar Life partner sites or something. It's like they create a new profile every few days, if not more. No, I do not belive Cougar Life is running a prostitution ring, but they absolutely are enabling it. So, I said, "hello [insert hooker name here]," and she picked up where we had left off a day before as if nothing was different. So very weird. Anyway, I included a nasty-gram to the site moderators or management or whoever, explaining why I wanted to delete my profile. It took a couple of days before the barrage of "such and such sent you a message on Cougar Life" stopped. Yes, I am pretty frustrated and quite pissed, which is why I just needed to figure this out. I'm voraciously inquisitive and when I find a problem, I go after it tenaciously until I have a satisfactory answer. Don't invest yourself too much in this site. You will soon be broke and still alone. Remember, normal people do not demand that someone be "verified." Guilty until proven innocent, I guess. That is not normal, gentlemen. Normal people meet in a public place, maybe with some friends, and sit and talk and eat and drink. Be unequivocal about not following any link. Ask for a URL, the name of the company; the company's phone number; the company's address. They won't know and they will tell you to f**! Off. Also, look for the changes in grammar and punctuation and point that out. You will not hear back. I realize this is a long review, but, gentlemen, I've done the research, I've tested my hypothesis several different ways and I'm solidly confident that these women are neither who they claim to be, nor do they have any interest in you at all. They want your bank account. And, that's all they want. Just be safe with your money; DO NOT FOLLOW ANY LINK THEY EMAIL YOU; politely request information to make a rational, educated decision; ensure that you update and run Malwarebytes after visiting the Cougar Life site; and, finally, leave that credit card in your wallet. Fight that temptation and pretend you don't have one. Cheers!
I tested it, you should too, if you don't believe me.
Create 2 new emails, one for male account and one for female.
Create male profile first and upload 1 male pic from the web. Now do the same for the female account and upload random female pic from the web.
With the female account search for the age bracket that your male account is: e. G 21-21, also tick in the advanced search box newly created accounts only (or whatever it says there).
You will see that your account isn't even there (its not a lag issue, your account wouldn't be there if you searched a week later). Point is - they hide your account to suck you into paying.
So how do you receive msgs from all the women if they cant see you?
First, the site creates its own fake profiles for "market research" (someone in the other post mentioned it, and its in the ToS), and that's where some of the msgs are from,
BUT Also,
Log off your female account and log in with your male one. You will see that one of the profiles that sent you mail was the female account You created. So every time a spammer/"market researcher" creates a new account, you get Auto Msg from the new profile sent to you. Its not a real person actually msging you because they're interested, its all automatic, to suck you into payment.
Their excuse would be is that its an "automatic introduction" to help advertise a female account to users, (btw, its a cougar site, shouldn't it be the other way around? Females pay and guys don't? Lol), that's all bull$#*!, semantics.
Now leave the account for a couple of days and come back. When you open the male account msgs folder, you will see that 2-3 profiles use the same picture, AND, its always pretty girl pictures. All of those profiles that have email in the intro are SCAMS, PERIOD. The other profiles that have Skype are either freelancing web strippers or SCAMMERS. The ones that dont have any email in the profile are most likely "MARKET RESEARCH", the rest 10% are real females.
You have been warned.
Don't be a F**KEN idiot and use Tinder, its the best available atm and its free if its not Tinder Plus.
