Good good good good good I don't know what to say………. ………………………………….,,…. Zzzz

My story is the same as many others, I joined up and immediately got 12-14 requests to chat ect. As soon as I paid for the subscription- crickets not a single profile responded again. Most of the chats disappeared within seconds. Contacted their so called "support team" which is a total joke. I will post the responses I got from those idiots here:

I have been REALLY applying myself to this so let me see if I have this correctly... A green dot,... means the person is online,... and an orange dot means they recently were online? Yep, I think I understand now... Green----Orange. Gotcha!
Now, if we could just nail down the actual question I was asking and you tell me, when I see an orange dot (you know, the one that means they were recently online) how long does that indicate since they were last online? Hours? A day? A week perhaps?
And the second question I asked, which somehow you completely failed to address, "On a ballpark percentage basis, about how many of the profiles currently on the platform, are actually active profiles as opposed to those who have closed their accounts or are no longer paying customers----but the profile remains shown as if they were still active? 50%? 75%? A ball park figure of percentage will suffice."
I know you must have some figures that will satisfy my curiosity so please, stop being a Jen Psaki, no more fluff, just answer the damn question.

Really? OK, I'll try this one more time. In my previous questions to your firm, I asked simple questions that anyone with the IQ of a goldfish should be able to answer, but I get back a response asking me to explain what I want. Gee, I don't know if I could make it any more clear.
I therefore include in this last ditch request the info I asked for previously. Simply read the questions in the quoted section below. Read the entire questions and responses from Margaret and Victoria and you might read what I am asking.
The question remains, and also, "What is the criteria for a profile to be considered "recently on-line"? Hours? Days? Weeks?
"On a percentage basis, how many of the profiles currently on the platform are actually active as opposed to those who have closed their accounts but the profile remains registered as if they were still active? 50%? 75%? A ball park figure of percentage will suffice."
Your responses are making great copy for my blog and FB page by the way!

Victoria,
Thank you for your quick reply however, your reply sounds like something a politician in a press conference. It completely avoids the question and provides nothing more than fluff as an answer. So my question remains, and also, what is the criteria for a profile to be considered "recently on-line"? Hours? Days? Weeks?
On a percentage basis, how many of the profiles currently on this platform are actually active as opposed to those who have closed their accounts but the profile remains registered as if they were still active? 50%? 75%? A ball park figure of percentage will suffice.
Thank you, Rick

So, you can see for yourself. This is the kind of BS support they provide. The site is a scam. Stay away unless you want to be scammed!
Rick

I am not a blog writer nor a consultant for the online dating industry, I am a single male, 53 and live in the central US. After a breakup I decided to venture into the online dating extravaganza, the alternative to bars, clubs, etc. and now an accepted method to find companionship. After several months without success in finding a female I decided to examine the industry and actually signed up to multiple sites. I actually collected data with each site. The data collected was based on each individual site and based on the what the site provided for the user. The data/analytics for this are way to vast to include in this review, so I will abbreviate as best I can. The sites included in this study are: Tinder, Match, POF and Meetville. Here is what I did. On each of the sites I used the same profile and pictures, with one exception being Meetville. With Meetville I used the same profile and pictures but changed my age to 40. I did this because I wanted to see if I could attract females between the ages of 35-45. Marketing survey's that I researched before signing up with Meetville, suggest more females in this age group use this site and therefore a guys success in finding someone is increased, I'll get back to this later. I ranked the sites based on these parameters: functionality, ease of use, method of signing up (Facebook or email), free features without paying, cost to subscribe and how many users/members I got to actually meet me. The sample size was 500 and I stopped at that, which sound a bit high but it really isn't considering just how many profiles are really out there surfing for you. Out of the 500 profiles I connected with 164, that's roughly a. 328 batting average in baseball, but we aren't a major league ball player so that's really 33 percent connection rate, not bad. Of the 164 I connected with I received 32 phone numbers, roughly 20 percent, again not bad. Of the 32 that I received phone numbers from and that I actually spoke to 2 agreed to meet me on a date, less than 7 percent. Now if you take 2 out of 500 because you did invest your total time in this you would be at. 004 percent, that's not even good enough to stay in single A ball, you'd be out of baseball. So in order to get to a respectable percentage and to have a fighting change you probably have to see about 1,800 to 2,000 profiles to find your dream girl, which is impossible unless your unemployed I guess. Back to the sites. Number 1 in my opinion is Tinder, great platform, you signup thru FB, no lengthy in app forms to complete to see who you are compatible with. Users pick who they like and we all know what swipe left and right means. The great thing about Tinder is you don't have to go through a maze of questions. Second would be Match, it offers virtually the best platform and users to pick from, but it can be a time suck when getting your profile established and reviewing matches, but that may be necessary depending on how picky you are.
The only drawback with Match in my opinion is cost, but you have to expect this, they spend millions in advertising dollars and this drives the cost. Third is POF (Plenty O Fish), this site can be a time suck as well, it does offer some free features but remember with free comes scammers, it is easy to hide behind a pretty face that is always 13 miles away from you. Overall I didn't have much success with POF, tons of females who are hiding behind pictures taken 10 years ago and not much to say about who and what they do when they are not surfing for Fabio or Prince Charming. The cost for POF is based on what the user wants to pay, they offer upgrades and members of certain levels can block random in app messages when they are being contacted. It is basically a ploy to get you to sign up and then upgrade your subscription because the dream girl you found is of a certain level and you'll do just about anything to contact her, preying on your desperate need to hopefully land or catch that trophy fish that you want to mount... on your wall guys, don't drift on me just yet. Finally we come to Meetville. Basically two words, "STAY AWAY". The platform or what they do here is brilliant but eventually very disappointing for the paying customer. As POF works Meetville is about the same, you have to pay to play. They even offer a "hook up" category if you are into that. But most important guys and pay attention to this to avoid throwing your money down the online dating drain. As online dating and app services have evolved so has the genius minds of site developers. When you sign up and before you pay just wait for a few days. The activity on your profile is truly remarkable. The minute I finished signing up I received in app messages from very attractive females, from ages I requested to find 35-45, with some outside of this age but not older than 48. The total hits I received in this period was 65, yes 65 messages within a 24 hr period. Jackpot boys, right? I thought, damn all these attractive women hitting me up, why didn't I do this sooner, right? Wrong Grasshopper and here is why. Meetville manufactures profiles, it's that simple. What they do is create fake profiles of women and the system/platform is formatted to send canned messages to non subscribers, hoping your urges will overcome your wallet, but don't do it, unless your a gluten for punishment. They are so bad at this that I came across multiple profiles that used different user names but used the same pictures, profiles were changed showing different locations, different wants and needs. They even post pictures of members and when you click on the picture to see the profile it is a totally different female. You will also get females on the take, you'll get story after story of how desperate they are, the ex or roomate has left and she needs a few Benjamin's to buy food or to stop the electric company from cutting off service, it can be somewhat entertaining if you take it far enough. It's just bizarre especially when get a phone number and search the number through Facebook. This is your smoking gun boys, if you really want to know who your chatting with and you can get them to cough up a cell, you can most likely find who it is and avoid the whole reverse phone number search BS. In closing the moral of my story here isn't to damage this industry of online dating, it is to protect the buying public, specifically males. Ladies I can't speak for your experiences but I'll bet you dinner and a movie it is the same way. As long as we seek the opposite sex and are obsessed with finding the girl next door or Mr. Right sites like this will exist and scam you. Technology techniques, creating fake profiles and the anonymity of the internet have allowed this industry to thrive at the hands of disappointed and discouraged males and most likely females. Here are several things to watch for when you sign up for these sites. In fairness to Meetville all these sites will have the fake profiles or users who screen shot pics of random females to use. If you find a profile with a single picture and she is a Paris runway model, with nothing in her profile, jettison the profile, even report it if you can. It's not there to contact you, it is there to attract you in an effort to keep you on the site. The definition of insanity is to keep doing something over and over, right? Don't, just move on. Before I get bombarded and criticized from the small percentage of people who had success I realize this can happen and you just might find that "needle in the haystack" but remember what you have to endure and go through to even get to see the sexy dress at happy hour. It's similar to your job, the more time you put into it the likelihood of success will increase. I decided to do this to help, to inform because so many of us think we can find the woman of your dreams by just clicking a button and hitting send, no it doesn't work that way and it's not that easy, unless you think 2 or 3 percent is acceptable, I'm no Vegas odds maker or financial consultant but guys that rate of return SUCKS! The answer, don't expect much and don't waste your money. Stay with a more reputable site and do your homework, it will save you time, money and disappointment. Good Luck guys.

False winks, false messages. Absolutely no contacts made. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I joined the free "Prepaid-subscription" part and while having not paid for a subscription yet. I received many winks, messages, likes etc... Of course none of which could be seen. When I clicked on "Who's viewed me" OR."who likes me"... etc. I was not allowed to see any of this information without being a paid member. This is not uncommon on most dating sites IF you haven't become a paid member yet. However, what I noticed when I did finally pay, was the winks, messages, likes, etc... ALL STOPPED instantly. And the winks, messages, likes, etc. that I received before I paid were generic messages the user can pic from in a list provided on the site. In other words,, They weren't messages these supposed women actually wrote. They were clicked on by "someone" from a list. The messages a person gets before he/she pays are just to peak his/her interest long enough to pay for the subscription and then the attention stops immediately afterwards. Once I was a paid member. I tried to contact 19 women with No response from any of them at all. I even tried to contact the women that were so crazy about me before I paid who flooded me with messages and winks until I paid. And there was no response from those women either... Absolutely NO activity at all. This is a red flag because at least on other dating sites. You get a "read" message now and then. It doesn't just stay in the "delivered" mode forever. By far the most fishy part is the abrupt end to all those interested women after the site got paid. Also, two other really strange things I noticed, is if I do a search of women from 40 and above... almost all those women in that age bracket indicate they would still like to have babies or at least have babies someday. THIS, alone is almost a dead giveaway that this profile is not authentic. Women are very particular about paying attention to this portion on most dating sites. They make sure to make it clear that they do not want children in most cases after 40 years old. Also in most of the profiles I read, the women never filled out the section that describes what they're looking for in a man. THIS is another dead giveaway as far as I'm concerned because women these days are very picky because of the massive amount of options available to them on line. You can bet that if the site provides a section for woman to outline what she wants in a man down to how tall of a man she's looking for. She will use it, and in most cases if the site doesn't provide a section for her to describe what she wants... she will describe what she wants in words. Its my feeling these profiles are mostly fake. Another red flag to me is I will receive a wink, or a "like you" every now and then, and as soon as I receive the notification I then immediately view the site and the user who sent the wink etc. is "Off Line" and they hardly ever log back on... as though its a random computer operation designed to send winks and likes out to users in order to make it seem like there's activity on the site.

This site is a rip off

Im new, still unsure if it is a scam
