I joined in arch 2018, so I also state I am not bang up to date ( as I am with another person)
However - when i DID join I kept seeing the same people I ignored, come back - and come back again.
I also noted that the ' Star Profile ' that I was interested in the most - magically never replied to any messages - I also did a little digging and spotted her profile on a couple of other dodgy dating websites
I have come to believe that most of the profiles are never deleted and just recycled through the site to make it look like there are more choices than there are.
I admit I never paid for the full membership - but realised something was awry.========
My Final Bit of Advice - NEVER give your exact real DOB for safety ( in case site gets hacked) and initially NO profile picture and little profile details - if you start to get loads of messages and ' flirts '
Or ' likes ' - that should be a HUGE RED FLAG!
This test should be done for a few days - after that you are clear to make your own mind up
( I used Tinder and had great success) - and never paid. I used great photos and a decent write-up.

I used Plenty of Fish for a couple of months - back in 2018 - my view is that its actually pretty good -
I got a few dates on it, and although there are a few doubters - I did well -
I recommend NOT paying for it ( you don't need to) and just give pleasant replies / messages -
And see what happens - frankly there are far worse out there!

I have nothing but good to say about this dating website - 5 Stars
Easy to use, easy to upload photos - and when I used it briefly for a month -
I got 2 dates with ease - one of which I am living with to the present time.
Reason - I only used it for a month - was that by then I was happily dating my new girlfriend.
( I would say I also used PoF and got a couple of dates there as well)
I also used the free version - and I am a genuine guy ( that's me next to the Ki. 100 at Hendon)
And I would say Tinder is worth the effort - just be picky and I should add, both women messaged me
After we matched!
Overall - for best results pick your very best photo - add a few extra doing something you love
And above all, a decent write-up about yourself ( less is more)
Good Luck!

Tip for consumers:
A Good Photo showing your figure to its best advantage is excellent - or a good Profile Photo

I can easily show how to identify a fake dating site - without spending a PENNY
( 1) Create a very basic Profile - as little as you can get away with ( 2) no photo
( 3) just a little few words in ' about you ' like looking for fun / love etc
- create free account ( don't pay for membership!) - now do NOTHING
If you start to get inundated with ' hot ' messages or views - within a day ( or usually an hour)
Then alarm bells should ring -
I joined this site - didn't create a great deal in my free account - and was given several messages within
A few hours - I did some detective work - and in East Scotland on the Profile - there was a Lady Minister -
Who was supposedly ' looking for love ' - found her online - and guess what - married in early 2020 ( this is April 2021) - if she had created the account - ( a) she would have deleted it by now ( b) she would NOT have used her Church of Scotland profile next to a Church Door in a press release
I took the hint from the very few reviews and swiftly deleted my account =
Want love - Try Tinder, PoF or Match.com

Tip for consumers:
its a scam

This is without doubt, the worst website I have come across, fake profiles galore and ' 18 ' year old contact you constantly that turn out to be from Ghana - and are desperate to chat to you on skype ( then want to scam you) - I contacted a few of the profiles and got only 2 responses, with no real interest, except one line answers -
These were NOT genuine ladies, they clearly were there to ' make up ' the numbers
And make it seem that its a genuine website
Avoid this website at all costs - I wish I did
I add this was nothing due to my ' poor communication skills '

Dear David,

We were very disappointed to read your review and wanted to get in touch directly to extend our regrets. The majority of our site members have a very positive experience – something that we pride ourselves on.
Please let us know the username of the person that wanted to contact you on skype. We absolutely forbid such communication and work hard to prevent non-genuine users signing up, but as all dating companies know, this is a big challenge. We actively encourage our members to let our customer service team know when this happens so we can delete the user and block their IP address.
It seems that you were getting some replies, so you were on the right lines. Perhaps with more patience and better communication your results would improve. Please check out our blog for more tips on how to arrange a hookup.

Best of luck,
The Hookup Hangout Team
