I have been trying to form friendships on fetlife for a number of years. I tried to access my profile about a week ago and I got a notification that there were reports about my profile indicating I've been causing problems, not true in the least. I had communication with one person that turned out to be a spamgurl I deleted her and moved on no harsh words but then about a week or 10 days later I find out my profile is locked, no explanation of any kind. The people on that site are such geeks and nerds it's really sad and I doubt they even know it, such inflated egos. I'm done with those colossally stupid moronic inbreds LMAO

I have been trying to understand this platform, i've taken the time to identify what I needed to do in order to find the right people regarding my kinks. I was then asked to verify my account, which I did. It then failed, to ask me another verification saying my "pictures were edited". I am literally sitting on my couch with my laptop taking the pictures.

I then sent a message on the support group and to the email, to see that they answer other people but not me! Then I re write another message about the verification and I get approved but no reply as they see I'm noticing they are ignoring me. I start using the platform and set my things up, to then add my bio and write it down, to clicking update and having my account locked! I sent the support multiple emails and no answer. They are ignoring me completely!

$#*! app, I don't recommend this to anyone at all, just a bunch of pedos and pervs. Just like their support team. $#*! this app.

Meh
June 4, 2023

This site is full of attention seeking people. People that complain. Men that think women will just meet offline to bang and suck then off. And full of women that have requests for gifts...cashapp and want you to pay for their only fans. No one is special really. All the naked bodies look the same.

Can't choose gender
March 23, 2024

If you like being cornered into using features you don't want, fetlife is for you. They don't allow you to narrow search filters by gender or gender identity, so basically you'd better hope you're bi, pan, or just entirely neutral to seeing genitalia you're unattracted to constantly. They say this is to foster Inclusivity but it makes it nearly impossible to find m4m partners when there are more female users and straight men users on the site by a large proportion that make it hard to find viable profiles. Genuinely in disbelief they think it's smart to force people to look at genitalia against their preference. The app itself while being pretentious in it's design, is useless, crowded with people that spam like content but don't engage, and lots of members that won't meet without asking you to jump through dozens of hoops before meeting. And the app is dated, never loads and always crashes. All in all a terrible, clunky, pretentious experience in fetlife from me.

Only for people (especially women) who want to show off and don't leave their keyboard. Almost noone wants to meet in person. Too many onlyfans accounts and "photographers", messing with the real puprose of a site which is to meet real people up close and personal.

They wrongly terminated my account when my account got hacked they accuses me of hate speech. Then when I asked to apologize to said person and I explained that my account got hacked and I was still banned. They told me that only a $#*! would make such an accusation. I explained to them that I was sorry and I sometime struggle with confrontation because I'm autistic and they told me that my account is still being banned

For guys stroking in soiled diapers where the girls list Antarctica as to where they live--- its pure delusional for those that do not want skin to skin contact.

Most of the avatars are nothing or close up of their boner they slapped to life. The site is disgusting

F*ck Fetlife
September 14, 2016

You spend hours developing a profile and uploading personal photos, then the first time you say something one of the "caretakers" don't like, they block you and KEEP your personal pics (this is allowed for in the website Terms of Use). Sooooo, here's what happens to Fetlife Caretakers who act like $#*!s - https://issuu.com/jameshuesmann/docs/dossier_v2

I was on the site, they said that my display picture was fake. In my head I am thinking, of course it is fake, my user name is LL-COOL-J and I have a picture of LL COOL J back in the 80s. Why wouldn't you think it is fake?

Anyways, I still had my real pics as private so that any friends could see the real me.

I got an email stating I had to put up a picture with my screen name on it to verify my identity and I was given three days. Since i am not a person to log in often I tried to log in then checked my email but after two days my account was suspended. I e-mailed the "caretakers" that they said three days to correct the situation yet gave me two days and just suspended my account and to this day, weeks later they have not released my account even though i did send a picture verifying my identity within three days.

They don't even follow their own rules. If they don't why should other people.

If I could give a zero I would.

Quality of this site is low. It used to be great. Now it's full of women demanding money for sex or money for nothing. It's tacky

I used Fetlife for years and some women said they were hit on by older members, kinky interest Group Owners & even some of the Group Moderators when they were underage 😳

Many discussion Group Owners and Moderators create discussion Groups to prey on underage girls, they actually try to break couples up or get them to cheat on their partners and they ban or block other males for absolutely NO REASON just because they don't want any competition 😳

Judgemental
November 5, 2015

For a site that is supposed to be none judgmental which is why I went here, I get judged over small comments by closed minded stuck up women, this site cares more about it's own profile than actually getting to know people, when I said to one woman you look like fun, instead of giving me the chance I deserve as a human being, I get put down, and told No in a very bullying way, women like most women are very stuck up in their ways, any woman thinks they are going to find a man solely based on looks is closed minded and pathetic, so much for trying to find open minded friends.

Huge online community for the mature adult. Great for beginners just looking for whats out there. Amazing for the seasoned vet that knows what he/she wants and is looking for others who enjoy/want the same thing.

I love this site because there are a ton of groups and members dedicated to my particular fetish/lifestyle.

Like any forum with heavy member-leadership, there are major pros and cons.

Unless you're looking for a quick hook up, (craigslist is better for that) some effort is needed to get the most out of this site.

I also love that FL encourages real life meetings through safe and sane groups. Most local groups have at least monthly meetings in public 'vanilla' settings like restaurants.

This is very simple... Fetlife caretakers are nonsensical, little dopes with nothing better to do than to pick on someone at midnight. That person was me on the 12th. Said "We need proof you are really the person in your display picture." Okay? Um, yeah that's me and all my pics are me so I guess I'll get up and prove it to you Sam. Took a shot with the date on it and my name and got... "We need to see this picture without it being photoshopped or manipulated by filters." What a joke those turds are that are in that world. $#*! YOU SAM! $#*! YOU FETLIFE! You silly dopes!

Incredible array of interests represented here. The site is comprehensive and includes people from a lot of countries. Definitely learned a lot - but it can be a little difficult to find out what is local. I've gone to a dozen or so events from postings here and was pleasantly surprised how nice everyone was. Highly recommended site, it will just a little time to get you head around the whole experience!

Beautiful looking site with some amazing photos from both amateurs and professionals. A huge range of forum topics and groups dealing with every fetish under the sun. A great place to explore your fantasies and find like minded people. Only major drawback is the fact that you can't just renew your premium membership on a month by month basis and it can be hard to find your way around at first. Also the lack of an official chatroom is a shame, the facebook style chat box is very limiting.

This website is 100% legit and like Facebook free. But however the women who use this website are either complicated or extremely rude. Even after you report them the website won't to anything about it! All of the women reject me because I have autism! This website needs to change its rules and policies and also most of the women use this websites to see nudes and not hook up!

I like the site and the concept. I've been a member for years. Just don't waste your money advertising on here. They will take your money and give you a tiny, worthless ad (that you're responsible for designing)... and offer no results. I never saw such a rip off.

Terrible

Terrible sire. It's fully of angry people that want to fight. And sex workers. You can't have an opinion. People jump on you, so you get disrespected.
