This site is a joke!
March 11, 2025

This site is operated by Successful Match Canada, and Qiang Du the founder is a huckster.
Source: Do a simple Google search for key words (Qiang Du hucksters). The top result is what you're looking for on hucksters DOT net. East Indians in America are all running business like this, constantly cutting corners, breaking many American business laws like not paying workman's compensation insurance for instance. Disguising their true identity, hiding behind an LLC, because they know they're going to get sued eventually. So, when their employees get hurt at work, all hell breaks loose. This primarily East Indian staffed company advertises all these fancy privileges when you buy premium service, but don't deliver as promised, and make up rules to suit them as they go. They don't follow the rules themselves, and when you talk to support, the employees are rude and vindictive. They offer a free month of premium for every 10 scammers you report. I paid 2 years of my premium catching scammers, and recently they backed out and didn't compensate me for 5 months of scammer reports = $175! I discovered evidence that previous and current employees of this company are planting scammer profiles themselves! In 24 years, they advertise "new" features, but if you look carefully, they're just relabeling features that already existed, or only changing it slightly. My account is currently paid through July 29th 2025, and they locked me out of my account for having profanity in my profile! Are you kidding me? Violating our civil right to freedom of speech and expression? They also allow open criminal harassment to take place in public chatrooms, and when you complain about harassment in private messages, they give you a generic response that they take that behavior seriously, but never do a damn thing about it! This will definitely go to class action, either initiated by me or the plethora of other individuals this is happening to, and I invite all of you to join us. What this malicious company doesn't realize, is that there are other users like me, that are providing a very valuable service to Positive Singles and you patrons. I am actively monitoring the whole site to help you guys be safe of scammers, and other harmful users, and this company is going to get rid of me for cursing? Stand up you guys! Sayeth Dr. Fotze! AKA Sterbende_Fotze AKA FIXYOURSINK4EVER. A lot of you didn't know I was disabled, and Positive Singles was my therapy! It was my only outlet for social interaction as my disability limits going out and meeting organically. I recently connected with a large number of you, and it was amazing to finally get that far in my recovery to be able to talk in public chat again. This uncaring company is harming all of you by removing me, or others like me. Harassing disabled Americans carries hefty consequences, and this pattern of behavior is setting a precedence of bad business with East Indian companies all through America, not just the USA. "Rest assured", they know nothing of "Good Faith" practice! Whether or not this company realizes the mistake they made with me, my efforts aren't stopping here. We have friends on Positive Singles that are continuing my efforts to bring this company's tyrannical behavior to the ground! I hope for the sake of all of us Positive Singles does their due diligence in correcting this mistake.

Disappointed.
October 21, 2019

This site is worse than a regular dating site, because it combines the negatives of both online dating, along with the specific pitfalls of an STD dating site. This review is from a woman's viewpoint only, and one who is looking for a relationship, not a fling, or hookup. I'm sure men have a different perspective and experience. For the nice, emotionally healthy men out there, it may give you some insight into what women face, and why we sometimes react the way we do.

What struck me immediately is there are a limited number of local potential matches. The majority of members don't post pictures, some with good reasons. When I posted my pictures freely, I was bombarded with messages from across the country. It doesn't matter what qualities you list for your desired mate, very few people appear to read this, and will message you anyway. Then you waste your time trying to separate the normal from the perverts.

Some very nice men did message me. I felt they weren't compatible, lived too far from me, or I wasn't feeling it. When I first began dating, I learned the hard way that I shouldn't message back if I wasn't interested. It takes too long to message so many people back. I don't have that kind of time. I've also been cursed at, insulted, and some wouldn't take no for an answer, and continued to message. Let the blocking begin.

For both sexes, you run the risk of being "outed". Some can't post pictures due to occupational reasons. I'm sure just as on regular dating websites, many don't have pictures because they're cheating on significant others.

I chose to hide my pictures, unless I granted access, to limit the crazies. Of course, that doesn't work very well either. It's a no win situation. When I hid my pictures, I received very few inquiries. Not too many men are willing to message, even for a short time, until you feel comfortable enough to open your private photo album. I do understand some of their hesitation about wasting time with someone they don't find attractive, or fake profiles, but what good is a picture if you have nothing else in common, or don't like talking to each other? In "women think" if you can't invest a brief time of messaging, are you really good for the long haul? We live in the days of instant gratification.

As stated in many other reviews, when you take a chance and message someone who previously expressed interest in you, you often don't receive a reply. People will wink or like you, and add you as a favorite, yet when you message them, you received no response.

There are a limited number of physically attractive men on the site, and they appear to either be in high demand, or they're addicted to something, because they're on the site all day long. Seriously, whenever I log on to check messages, they're at the top of the list for activity date most of the time. How do you possibly have the time or energy for that? Or does this site falsely show someone as active when they're not?

Sometimes if you do receive a response, you reply, then a day or two later they will reply back. Yet, once again they're at the top of the list for activity date. Exactly how many people are you messaging at the same time? I surmise if someone can't spare a minute to reply, or say they're busy, and will message later, good communication skills are off the list, and it's a harbinger of how they'll treat you once in a relationship.

Now this one is universal to many dating sites. When the message exchange commences, you're inundated with messages for days, then the love bombing dwindles, with no explanation, until nada. Obviously, the dopamine high wore off with the chase, and you've moved on to the next fix. Put on your big boy pants, and have the decency to communicate that you're no longer interested. I'd normally encourage therapy, but it usually doesn't work with that breed of folk.

Let's not forget that the more weirdos you encounter, the more paranoid and distrustful you become. Then some rocket scientist will chastise you, and say that you're negative, and ask too many questions. It's called being safe! Talk to your female friends who have tried online dating, and they'll confirm that there are some very scary men out there. These are the men who make it difficult for the nice ones to overcome the damage. Both genders should ask questions. Oddly, this is a quality I've noticed across all dating sites. Most men do not ask questions. What good is a pretty face, if you're seeking a relationship, and you're not compatible?

Similar to what others state, if you're an unpaid member, you see a lot of winks, views, and likes. The minute you subscribe, that number decreases dramatically.

I made the mistake of answering the fun questions. After I did, I felt uncomfortable with strangers having access to that level of intimacy, and realized there isn't a way to delete your answers.

Ideally, I like to message for a short time to establish if there's mutual interest, and rule out the creepy and crazies, then meet ASAP. It doesn't have to be a full-fledged date. A short meet up is fine. If you're too busy for a date, why are you on a dating site? Simply state in your profile that you're looking for a message buddy or hook-up.

The statistics note how many people are out there with STDs. It is not represented on this site. Unless more people begin using it, don't limit yourself to an STD only website if that's your dating route. My impression is nice people sign up, then the long time regulars pounce on the fresh meat, until they get disgusted and leave too.

I had no say when my ex gave me herpes. He cheated on me and I paid the price. I've only dated one other person with it, the rest were STD free. I take meds, and don't have outbreaks. It's still difficult having that first conversation, and I have been told no. It hurts, but I do understand their fears. I'm saddened, because this site has great potential if it had a larger number of real members, people were genuine and honest, and perhaps less deception on the part of the site itself.

I miss the days when you could meet in person, and a man would ask for a date. Now we get message buddies, a lot of misunderstanding due to how easily it is to misinterpret each other with electronic communication, and no real human interaction. Glad to see our society is advancing.

A very horribly operated & dishonest site. No response from inquiries to the staff at all.
October 28, 2015

Is it your normal practice to offer extended gold member status for helping your weak staff do the job that they are assigned to? Rewards for assisting in the exposure of scammers? My membership was paid up until Jan 3rd, 2016 but now, it's been suspended. I've called & e-mailed but there's no response whatsoever. As soon as my fiance" went on the site, also with "gold" member status to determine what was going on, she also was suspended. This is pretty bad, PS. I hope we will be able to bring this matter to a legal standpoint as you have clearly violated your own policies & refuse to respond to questions regarding these matters. Yes, dead profiles, fake winks, people that may not even exist. This is a major scam. My fiance' & I have attempted to contact the so called staff at your site for explanations but no one responds. I think that 36 hours is quite sufficient for an explanation of why we're out over $120 collectively invested yet unjustified by you people. This does not end here, I assure you. Please sprout the courage & consideration to at least respond to your our calls &/or e-mails. What are you afraid of? Are you criminal & cowardly as well? We'll talk soon, one way or another. I was sent a message stating that I was, "required" to contact you. We've called & we've e-mailed your posted contact number as well as your posted e-mail address. I have over 3 months of active membership left & have been suspended with not one bit of effort on your part to even begin to explain why. I hope you go to jail, & since you've made NO effort to resolve this, explain this or even refund our loss, I will make every effort to assist in that result. It also is obvious that many others here feel robbed by you people. Now, we're on board as well. You have all of our contact info. We've waited patiently for your explanation, responses or justifications. Get with it or get sued.

I'm sorry, but not really. I'm a writer & simply cannot believe that you people don't respond. "Required" to contact you by phone or e-mail? Shouldn't you be "required" to respond? Are you just ghosts also? Instead of handling things well, you seem to ignore them. What a joke. Well, I suppose that the joke is on me, as well as the others here that rely on you to care & honor the honor system.

There are seemingly very good people on your site. There are others that need to go. Take a moment's pause & handle things effectively. If you're scared, get under the bed.

Have a great day ignoring your responsibilities, it's ok, real people will smell the stench & step away from it.

30th Century Man.
