Hi, Elliot Rodger here, this is lifefuel for me. As a black man identifying as a female, I was able to find the love of my life. I was about to shoot my local community college but this website saved me from doing that. Thank you.

Agree with everyone else that this site is a scam. I have emailed the company four times over the last week and have not had a response other than the automated one saying they will get back to me within one day. It is very hard to know whether real people have seen your profile and contacted you, or if it their matching system sending automatic emails on their behalf, so you may receive emails from people who have not been using the site at all recently. Sometimes a 'chat' pops up allegedly from their staff offering you a discounted membership, but twice I have tried to 'chat' back and there is clearly no-one at the other end of the computer.
Its so disappointing because I will always be left wondering who, if any, are the genuine guys who have tried to contact me - but I am not prepared to pay nearly £200 for three months just to find out that they are no more than java applets!

I sensed something was up about this site. I didn't join, thanks to all the reviews on this site. I appreciate it. I entered my info/pics on sunday but didn't join and by wednesday I had 150 emails in my personal email account. I was like "wtf" most were "fast matches" but I had about 10 "custom" matches. Some seemed a little fishy. I'm so thankful I found this site with the reviews. I hope this site stays true and nobody puts fake reviews on it.

I recently joined and I also received lots of emails from good looking successful men who are so rich, yet are not full members. That is completely taking the Michael. I could not reply or read my messages without paying a huge fee. So, I emailed the guys back - you can do this if you go into their profile and send a quick message. I let them know that I was a standard member etc and could not read their messages. Needless to say not ONE of these guys that I replied to has replied back to me. Yet, I'm still receiving lots of emails from other good looking guys. I do feel it is a scam and I'm so glad I came across this review!

Scam and sham. This site is set up to entice women with the good looks of the men on the site to get them to pay for the site's services but in turn receive little or no benefit for what they have paid for.

This site known as a niche site because it caters to the height preferences that some ladies are seeking with men is a site full of negativity that is only for the purpose of seducing money out of the pockets of ladies.

This date tall men site is actually dating with trickery as well as tragedy.

I joined datetallmen.com about a week ago. The strange thing is, ive had about 20 e mails from mainly american guys. All of them look like models, and all of them are mega rich. I havent, and would NOT pay to upgrade to be able to read the messages, as its so obvious its a scam. The membership fees are extortionate, i e mailed customer services to delete my profile, but low and behold, im still getting e mails, avoid this site at all costs.

I was also on POF and saw the ad for this and thought what the heck. Ater registering a week or so ago I already have 20 emails from very attractive, wealthy millionaires... lol. All for little ol' me? Same as the others here- they tried scamming me out of roughly $80 but I decided to do some investigating since I too was leary of the nicely glossed, photo-finished pictures. Final conclusion- Stay away.

This site is a total scam and I have two other friend that had the same experience. Men start emailing you(and they are cute) right away when you get on. Once they get your money you don't hear from anyone. $99 down the tubes. I have been on four other site and have not had this experience. Basically the profiles are fake. What do i do to check into the matter further and help other woman and men from not getting scammed.

This site is absolutely a scam, now that profiles are being emailed to me they want $197USD for me to review them. I am looking for someone to share time with but I'm not desperate. Shutting this site down would be a huge favour to everyone!

I just got scammed too. I immediately phoned my credit card provider and they cancelled the card and said to contact the site to cancel the order and, if they haven't done so in 3-5 business days, recall your provider and they will do so through their fraud department. I gave my credit card company the name of this site for their information on the fraud case. If you don't cancel your card, I think hey will keep taking payments out every month or three months forever.

I have been thinking exactly the same thing. I was suspicious the minute EVERY single man that emailed me was very cute and yes, from the US. It is not that I am putting myself down, but the level of good looking men on there who contacted me is bit unrealistic. I even put on my profile that I was not paying up until I felt that the people at the end of the email were real - sent it for 'approval' and not heard back - funny that.

There must be a way to find out...

Unlike many of you I joined this site and met a man with whom I chatted with for a number of weeks on the site. The relationship progressed and although he lived in a different country we met up and continued to write to each other daily.
This site pushes the fact that its members are verified properly and indeed this chap had such a status. He turned out to be an utter sociopath, with psychological issues.
This chap could not have been verified and luckily I have a background in working with people with psychiatric problems so was able to spot the signs,
This site is linked to the Elite service and happily seems to pass on details between the sites unknown to its clients I think.
It is a total scam site and should be closed down.

Total scam. While I was checking it out as a "free" member, I received several emails from some very attractive men. Most in the U.S. but all were hundreds of miles from me. Anyway, I eventually signed on for the least expensive, 30 day membership. I then responded to the suitors whom I was interested in. Not surprisingly, I never heard back from 3 of 4 whom I replied to. The fourth person and I had a brief email exchange. Since then, my emails to anyone on the site (either to date or to the "staff") have gone unanswered. What's even more damning, is that I've received a response email to someone I never SENT an email to. Funny, all these attractive male "members" have clear, almost professional looking profile photos. Does anyone know how we can proceed to get a suit against this scam of a site?

I just started and all ready I am getting the feeling like it's a huge scam. I got emailed from two gorgeous men and you go to read the email and it's like... you must upgrade to read this email never mind reply. I'm like fine whatever. I didn't upgrade because the next thing I did was looked at the profiles of the two guys that emailed me and they just looked like a set up. One of the guys couldn't look older than 32 and it said he was like 38 or 40. I won't be putting any money into this site. I am going to stick to Plenty of Fish.

If the members were actually successful business men, worth millions, wouldn't you think they would have the diamond membership so everyone could e-mail them? Think about it.

Please don't join this site, take it from the mug who did, yes me... it cost loads of money and tears. You reply to the emails and they are not opened and you will not hear another word... oh well a lesson well learnt.

This is a scam website for sure. I suspected it when I saw the photos of the men emailing me. They look like professional photographs. The men that enticed me to join were extremely handsome and it was just to good to be true. I believe the website pays them to entice women and have them send us email or the dating site send the emails on their behalf. It smells like a scam it is one. And yes I was suckered into paying $99 to access the website. Darn, what I could've done with that money instead of throwing it away on a scam. Don't join!

BUYER BEWARE! THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS! THEY HAVE GREAT LOOKING MEN WRITE YOU AND YOU HAVE TO "JOIN" IN ORDER TO SEE THE EMAIL AND REPLY TO THEM. SO... YOU JOIN AND VIOLA... THEY ODDLY NEVER "REPLY" TO YOU! MMMM... ISN'T IT AMAZING ONLY GORGEOUS MEN FROM NY, MALIBU, LONDON, DALLAS AND SAN DIEGO WRITE US INITIALLY? MOST OF THESE ARE "FAKE" CAN YOU SPELL IT WITH CAPITOL LETTERS? F A K E? I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK TELLING THEM I WILL TURN THEM INTO AMEX, BBB AND SCAM BUSTERS ONLINE... THEY BOOTED ME OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND I DIDN'T GET A REFUND. IF THEY WERE HONEST, THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MY MONEY BACK. LUCKILY AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDITED ME AND IS LOOKING INTO THE MATTER. SPREAD THE WORD, THEY ARE EXPANDING INTO OTHER MARKETS TOO. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE ON THE LEVEL? HEY, I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND WHEN KARMA COMES BACK TO HAUNT THEM!

THESE GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF SHMUCKS. LET THEM GET WHAT THEY DESERVE IN THE END!

This site is a total scam. I've been on other dating sites such as Match, Plentyoffish, and OkCupid, so I have a firm understanding of the kind of traffic I should come to expect in terms of winks, views, emails, etc. Even though this site has only a portion of the members of those other websites it just doesn't make sense that there is hardly any activity. Just to give you an example on OkCupid I would average about 113 views a week. In contrast in two weeks on this site I have been viewed 15 times and sent emails by only 3 men in which they came off as being very fake. I have a feeling that what they do is lure people in with their very attractive but phony "VIP' members and that the only real men on the site are the pathetic losers most women wouldn't be caught dead with. I can only hope that by writing this review that I can help prevent other people from wasting their money.

The only way you can do anything there is by subscribing to the uber expensive paid service. The "members" contacting you after setting up all have super professional looking pics, are model hot, live far away - annnnnd are lures to get you to subscribe. Stick with the freebies like okcupid or plentyoffish

I was just about to try it and then looked at the fee schedule and thought "are you kidding?" Anyway I thought I would check and see if there were any reviews out there and wow! Thanks for everyone who has replied. You all saved me about $90. I really appreciate it.

I am currently at a free dating site and was a member there when I spotted the ad for datetallmen.com. I've had memberships at other sites over the years. I've found the same people and results everywhere.

I only registered here to meet strictly tall men. I wasn't looking for millionaire model-types, but apparently this site is a repository for the incredibly good looking, athletic, wealthy, lonely men who take time from rock climbing and hang gliding to sit down at a computer and write to me! Hey... and they all have terrific photos that could also be reprinted in a magazine! Not one of my admirers was hiding his balding pate with a stupid bandana or baseball cap. Not one of them had a paunch. Their profiles were beautifully written with no errors in grammer, punctuation, spelling, capitalization... Amazingly, they all wrote to me despite the fact I hadn't even completed my registration with "about me" and "who I'm looking for" portions.

Hmmm. Am I really that desirable?

The membership fees are outrageous. The number of emails I received within hours of registration from sexy, young looking, wealthy men was entirely unbelievable. Total baloney! Not an average looking one in the bunch!

I had not paid for a membership. There are better ways to find a legitimate partner and to spend money. I didn't know how to delete my profile and membership so I hid it. No more ridiculous emails!
