I had known about AFF for years and thought I would give it a real try but quickly learned that most of the "people" are fake. I was getting contacted out of the blue by people hundreds or thousands of miles away and there was no reason for them to do so. One even said she was coming to my town on business. Yeah, sure. They would ignore my requests to tell me about themselves and would ask for my email address.
I also didn't appreciate the fact that if you blocked a profile, you could still be in their "hotlist" and you would get notified if they viewed your profile.
Toward the end of my subscription, I was even having trouble deleting messages sent to me. The site seems kind of flaky.
