After seeing the 80+% here, I had hopes that maybe this was a lot better (see my posts on AM and Adulthookup). In all honesty, at least you can find out that there are virtually NO women on these sites, and it is also very obvious from the beginning that you are being TOTALLY scammed, you get tons of garbage messages about women all over the country, but DAMNED sure none of them are within 100 miles of you. Again, I'll give them creds that at least it is easy to see nobody really gives a damn about you ("babe-xyz is from Bum-luck, Alaska might be interested in you!")... other sites (like Adulthookup) will literally play you like they are actually there and actively engaged in discussion with you).

Don't get me wrong... like just about every other area of life, WOMEN on these sites are probably dripping in hot, horny guys... I think I saw that ladies are getting upwards of 100 messages PER DAY. The majority of the 5*s on all of the sites are ladies... it works as described for them. However, as pointed out in other reviews... it is also patently obvious that the reviews by men are totally bogus... but even if you get the one or two guys that actually got laid, even they admit it is almost impossible and credit themselves with having outstanding profiles... and patience... well, for $40 a month, you get laid in 6 months... that's worth it? I think hookers on craigs list are probably a MUCH better deal, and a sure thing! LMAO

So, I did the "free" profile... getting my half dozen bogus messages per day (make sure you set up a separate email cuz its quite annoying)... about all these women from all over the planet that are "interested" in you... I think the nearest one to me was > 100 miles. As a free member, you get NO ability to search close... and they even make you be a paying member to scroll pages if the results bring back more than one page! So I resorted to narrowing age to a single year and pretty much determined that had only a few dozen total women with pictures in the entire state of Texas, less than a few in the whole DFW metroplex. You do the math... you ain't getting laid here gents.

TOTAL SCAM... STAY AWAY... I fell for the dirt cheap 3-day trial, but when you do that they IMMEDIATELY hit you with another month. If that happens to you... CANCEL IT... they actually did return my money. Looking at the site, I think it is just a front for a porn site... the whole page is nothing but porn videos and every click on the page brings up 2-3 other pages... extremely annoying and slows your computer to a crawl.

Their tricks are that while you cannot do anything (messaging in the "free" membership)... you will get all kinds of messages and requests that you cannot respond to. This will be up to and including requests for dates... literally before you have any real information up there. Once you are a member... you will find out that most of the "requests" were for "chat" or "message me"... and when you do you will get nothing but incredibly short, useless quips... it becomes obvious the person is just there to try to string you along past the end of the "trial" to get you to pay for the month. Any attempt to actually tie the person down to actually meeting is completely ignored.

UPDATE: check out the 5*s and you will see what is going on... the first couple are weird, some guy ranting about Christians, and another one wondering why "cheaters don't like getting cheated"... THAT is a 5*? Most of the others are from women... well, DUH! Is that not our point? Women pay nothing and get to choose from 100s of men, by that measure standing on the corner with a piece of paper would get 5*s! LOL What is amazing is that the FEW guys that give it 5*s will acknowledge that much of it is a scam (read the reviews) and those of us posting the details are correct... so why the hell are they giving it 5*s? Very weird! So, reading between the lines of the BEST reviews on this site, the VERY FEW real women on the site are getting upwards of 500+ messages a week, you MUST completely expose yourself because the few real women are going to reject anything but a REAL picture, you have to burn a lot of credits ($$s) for this minimal chance to be noticed, and dozens of the women you are communicating with are going to be fakes that are just created by AM to get you to burn credits. THAT is a 5* from these clowns!

This is my second "burn", but this one was FREAKIN' expensive. I also got screwed by "adulthookup.com"... another one to stay the hell away from... more later. After the hack, which I did not read about until AFTER I got burned, I am just thankful that I only jumped in the cheap package, so I minimized my losses.

On AM, the scam is that you purchase credits, and then there are all kinds of gimmicks they use to get you to use them. For instance, they have a "wink" feature which is a free way of saying "Hi" to somebody, and you will ALWAYS get a response saying "I don't respond to winks, you have to write me a message"... which of course costs you. They also have popups indicating some babe is trying to "chat" with you, and if you are dumb enough to chat that costs something like $12 (in credits), but if you just reply in a message they STILL ding you even though they are not supposed to charge you for responses to something somebody else sent you.

As a computer (QA) guy, I immediately recognized a LOT of inconsistencies in their results from the database... so coming back day after day, the searches were bringing back different lists of women.

Keep looking, guys... DO NOT LET YOUR EGO GET THE BEST OF YOU! I gotta believe that there is a legitimate site but this obviously is not it. If you really are tempted think about this... and this is VERIFIED BY THE FACT THAT WHEN THESE GUYS WERE HACKED, THE HACKERS SHOWED THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF HUNDRED REAL WOMEN ON THE SITE... so that chances are REAL good that the "hot babe" you are talking to on the other side is some fat, hairy, dumpy GUY swilling some beer and yuckin' it up with his cubicle buddies!
