InterPals.net

I talked with a 20-24 year old guy from Hong Kong, he was good looking.
I was looking for friends only, but he always tried to flirt with me so i tried to talk to him less. He later confessed that he ''fall in love'' with me, and told me the truth: He was actually a 48 year old man. He even sent me his real picture...
Well, after that i google search people's profile pictures.
Most of the good looking people are fake profiles. They use pictures of unpopular models, semi popular instagram users, etc Men usually download pictures from body builder forums, and pose as those guys.
It's so pathetic.

I've been rude lately to guys who often talks about sex and perverted stuff, as well as guys who talks as if they know it all. Well, now they won coz interpals suspended my account. Interpals doesn't seem to review the reports. They just base it on the number of reporters. That's how it seems to me or maybe they do review them but just side with the men.

I have been on this site for over 12 years this time around. It has always been a good site for learning and helping with languages. This site went down hill when they added flirting. After that every pervert in the world comes to this site and some try to say they are from countries they are not from to scam people. Most of us are wise to these African scammers and get them shut down real fast only to have them come back again claiming they are someone else. It's more of a game than anything else. There are still good people on here that want to learn languages but it's not the same. Years ago people didn't use age designations for who they wanted to learn from as long as they were learning from a native speaker. Now I think there are other agendas for many people rather than language learning. Oh well, such is life and life goes on.

I have never seen so many angry and violent people on one site. I was shocked by the aggression of people when they figured out that I don't want to have any sexual relationships. I just wanted to speak with a German native speaker for practice, but I got threatened and abused instead. And I haven't spoke German, because there are only a few German-speaking persons there! If you want to practice any foreign language don't go there, that's a scrap-heap.

Interpals is a total waste of your time. If you hope to correspond with halfway intelligent people, or even practice a foreign language, this is not the right site for you. You will get hit up for money and/or sex again and again. Moreover, the moderators that are currently employed are nasty, unprofessional people. They respond to valid concerns with abuse and threats. Interpals could be a good site with better management and control.

I highly recommend NOT to sign up for Interpals if you're looking for language exchange. This site is full of idiots, perverts and scammers who just seek temporary fun and want to take advantage of a woman with their ridiculous compliments and lies. I created a profile with an intention of practising my english and german, learning french and italian and possibly making some friends, but didn't get much chance to practise or learn, most of the time I'm blocking men who want to lure me to Skype or get my Whatsapp. They are cunning scammers who claim they want to practise languages too, but if you ask them to show you what they know they start making excuses or write single sentences with a translator and insist you give them Skype Viber or other messenger so we can "practise" there... It's all one big SCAM. I don't get any profits by using Interpals, my list of blocked users is the biggest proof.

There is no mobile version of the site. When I accessed it from my phone it would always be a desktop version, which could be annoying. The site isn't very user friendly. I met a few real people there worth conversing with. But mostly, I got messages from fake accounts in Asia and Africa. One word conversationalists who would try almost immediately to move the chat to WhatsApp. I'm not sure if they just wanted my phone number for some scam, or wanted to try to scam me more easily from a platform that wasn't on the site so I couldn't report them. Anyway, I deleted my account there after the site removed my picture of Vladimir Putin as a clown. I'm not sure if they're Russian war crime apologists or not, but I didn't wait to find out.

I used this site for a long time and I didn't get long term friendships (as someone claims). I found a lot of people who were bored, and not interested in a language exchange. I also received some messages from perverts and fake profiles, and I blocked them. Young people only want to get new followers on social networks (they reach you on Instagram or they give you their phone number, then they disappear after a few days). Others try to find new "friends", since they're bored. And many guys don't answer you if you write them (it seems to be a dating site, with a lot of nudes). It's difficult to keep friendships here, so don't trust in people which claims the opposite. I didn't get my profile suspended by moderators. Despite this, it's a free website, since you don't have to pay for it.

I have not been on this site in a while but its not because its not a good site, but instead because I am not much for social sites. I tend to keep to myself a lot more these days so hanging out on dating sites or sites where you need to be active a lot just isn't my thing.

InterPals.net is a great please to meet new people, make new friends, and even to learn a new language. There are tons of people on this site & the only negative opinion I have about it is the script that makes them look like the have more users online then they do by making multiple copies of the same profile appear often in searches, and its done so badly you can easily notice it when you see the same face like 20 times on 3 different pages of searching. But this is not a good reason to avoid them because they actually have a lot of members who are real people with real profiles & their own pictures & content.

Would I recommend this site to others?
Yes, and I have for many years now.

This site is absolutely worthless. Not only are there a lot of scammers, rude and even absolutely crazy people here, but these scammers and crazies use the 'report' button as a weapon.

My own experience. A girl asked me why I wanted to learn a particular language. I said, it's because I like the literature of that language. The girl then instantly began to abuse the said literature. When I stopped talking to her, she reported me to the moderators! I do not know what she said to them, but the moderators then sent me a warning, telling me that I had to behave or would get my profile deleted! So, the site is absolutely insane - scammers and crazies proliferate, while honest people are given warnings or banned by the moderators.

Its a dating site. Nigerian Princes congregate there. The site has options to choose whether your there to make friends or learn a different language or romantic. Nobody pays attention to that. Just people wanting you to send nudes or get naked on the webcam. Disgusting. I got free version. And you have to stay on there 7 days before they will let you delete the account.

Interpals is not what it claims to be; a pen-pal site. Had an account there for a while but got really disppointed when I saw it's full of weirdos, scammers & boring narcissistic people. Most are quite ugly & far too lazy or arrogant to even write a profile. They certainly don't reply to anyone. So if you wish to waste your time trying to connect with morons who continually make ugly selfies because they're so dumb & have no real personality, please carry on. Your life will soon become as nondescript & meaningless as theirs. Good luck with that.

I've been on Interpals from 02/2014 until 01/2017. I agree that there are too many scammers around, with stolen profile pictures, and every new request must be treated with utmust care. On the other hand, the first contact I made was an English fire guy, we were friends from day one, moved on to Skype after 2 weeks, visits followed and recently we had our first wedding anniversary. I left interpals then due to lack of time, but I am still in contact with 3 good friends from Sweden, Ukraine and the Netherlands. So it worked for us and there is no regret at all that we both signed up there.

A dreadful web site, mostly full of scammers and narcissistic people. Low IQ users who can't bother to write a profile, but still find time to post boring, duff photos. Don't expect riveting conversation as few bother replying to messages. The site pampers scammers as they're desperate for content. They don't respond to complaints or remove dodgy comments from creepy users. Lots of prejudice found here in BS profiles that close by asking viewers not to keep pestering them. Full of catfish, scammers and those who deludedly think they're very attractive people. Another one to avoid.
