They purposely block the google pics and tineye add ons that allow checking for catfish, and there's lot of them there. Why would a site with any integrity block that ability?
This app would be cool if you could actually talk too people without paying. I could understand like limiting amount of messages or likes or whatever. Then you could pay more to get unlimited everything. And i have yet too find a single dating website that dosent charge you. Also there is false advertisment on google. Where it says everything is free like free chat messages ect.
I do not have a hot or not account and do not know what it is but there is one of me saying I'm 31 years old which is 10 years old than what I am and has pictures of me from 5 or more years ago and also says I live in a different area near where I live., can anyone help me get this off as my boyfriend actually believes this is me even though it 100% clear it isn't? It won't let me report it as I haven't got an account.
I would be cautious when on this site met a retired military guy lonely, divorced I just so happen to be the most beautiful girl in the world and live an hour away. He would even relocate to be with me. Of course he has not been with a woman in 4 years because of his divorce, injuries. OK it gets better the first time we met he brought his 8 yr old daughter. That was strange. Every time we speak he makes a lot of graphic sexual comments.
Be careful a lot of scammers.
I have blocked and reported LOTS of guys who sexually harassed me and nothing was EVER done to them. Then one guy asks me if I want to see a picture of his thing, I said no and he sent it anyway so I told him to "f'ing respect my wishes" so I get permanently banned. Yeah those morons are ban happy when you're a female trying to meet a genuily NICE guy but then guys do and say allllll they want without EVER getting banned. The people running Badoo should be shut down and forbid to ever be in charge again because they clearly don't know how to run something. I'm a member on sooooo many sites where I never have issues, I never get into trouble. I was with this fail site for OVER 13 years and got banned from ONE slip after being treated like crap by some arrogant douchbag. Hell some of the people on there message women offering money in exchange for sex and nothing gets done. This site NEEDS to be shut down as well as the fail Badoo.
If I could give it negative stars I would. All the women who matched with me asked the same line of questions and turned out to be overseas where they eventually ask you for money so they can travel to be with you... It's not the same as it used to be when it was a standalone program in 2007 and not linked to Facebook. I'll do my dating in person or I won't do it at all...
This is a dumb because you get rated for how you look. That is just rude and then they can bully you cause how you look I can't believe they even invented the app. And especially strangers telling you that you are hot. Like #creep back off
I post the most harmless pictures of me one time I was in my senior ball gown showing off mu converse and that was taken down. It followed all their rules. I also posted a picture of myself with my dog and that was taken down. These other girls have their boobs and bellies hanging out. What the hell! That's not cool. I want to be seen by my natural beauty not by my boobs!
This website was awesome, the revamp version is very confusing...
Many years ago this site was fun. It had a rating system which is better than just a yes or no, and you could leave comments for people. Plus, you could see how you rated. Now it is strictly Hot or Not, period. And it's only useful for the scammers to find an older man like me to swindle. Also, I am very certain that they are mining data from us, from our choices. It is very suspicious, it seems they are now manipulating the profiles, pictures they are showing me to try and create software that can determine hthe features that a person has that is attractive to you based on your choices. I'll get ten ladies in a row now that I find attractive to me, and than ten who are not. And than ten with a mix to further refine what makes a lady attractive to me or not. Including race and age which are not important to me in making my choices. Obviously, they are getting something out of it since it's both free and tied to Facebook. By the way, I would recommend you not link the two. Mark...
I don't like the photo censorship get real at least as a moderator be gender unbiased women can basally post what they wish men on thy other hand get thier photos removed I hate the site its run by a bunch of men who only care for members having certain body types the rest are censored illlegtimately I'm deleting the app if I go to my attorney and find the site to be profiling you bet I'm gonna be filing a class action law suit!
It has been a great place, mostly for youth, I like rating somebody's photos from time to time. But this website has one big problem, it becomes boring very quickly. It seems very funny, but after rating hundreads of photos, I am losing my interest. Truly hope team will change it for better
I don't know what idiots made the new privacy and moderation settings but they should be beat with a flaming cane. I used to be an avid user of this app and have frequent connections with kind, good looking REAL people, but that's all gone to $#*!. The majority of my connections are rude, sexist, sex driven perverts whose only interests are if I've got kik, if I have 'dat $#*!' or 'dem tittiez' or if I'm 'DTF', the majority of whom are fake accounts with fake photos. My biggest piss off out of this entire crap hole of an application is the new 'photo moderation system' it seems I can't even include a goddamn fingernail as that may be too erotic, I can't even post a photo in a dress where my face is CLEARLY visible as it goes against the moderation code. Absolutely $#*!e app, shame since it used to be a genuine guilty pleasure of mine. Seriously it's become such an unwelcoming community of horny teens, I would not recommend it at all.
I had heard of this app before, but imagine my surprise when my irate boyfriend asks me why I have a hot or not account and sends me a link to an account (with my pictures, interests and full name) that I never created. I don't know how this happened, but I have a deep hatred for hot or not now and would really appreciate if there was an easier way to report fake profiles (many of my friends experienced the same problem)
WARNING, this app will jack you. I was on the app the other day and i saw a profile for my DOG!. I made my dog a FaceBook account years ago, and only i have access to it. I dont know how but my dog is on "HOT or NOT" thats enough to give me the $#*!in creeps. Delete asap
Under 17 you should be able to search at least 2 years older... When you turn 18 this year you cant see older than 17 before your birthday? This is stupid. Except for this i love this app..
I HATE it. Not because of the set up but the app in general. If you're in a relationship or talking to someone i would definitely stay FAR away from this app because it will cause MAJOR problems for you. I've never hated an app so much completely sabotaged my relationship. Plus there is not filter on it what so ever lots of fake accounts and incorrect ages not to mention might as well be a phone sex website because that's what most of your "connections" want or talk to you about. Very unprofessional and trashy app, I think you should just let Badoo run their thing and drop it.
It is fun to do, I would really use it for dating though. If I was to go with dating would prob use POF.com or Match.com. But HotorNot.com is a classic though!
Used to visit the site and talked with some interesting people. Then I was tortured every day by endless work, having little time to use it. Later, it was sold and things turned bad.
Answer: Don't give her your bank info, Vic! Of course it's not legitimate! The whole HotorNot is not legitimate, they seem to have gathered all scammers in the world! Be very careful if you decide to keep using it. I found a better and safer site http://J4Bride.com No woman has ever tried to scam or rip me off there. They are all real, genuine and not so materialistic. I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm pretty sure that this girl who is asking you for your bank info on HorOrNot is nothing but a scammer. It's a typical situation on HotOrNot and it was the reason why I left it.
