Saphrina ties with Victoria Milan as The Most Authentically Fake site (now how is THAT for an oxymoron?!)
I do recall, having read reviews before paying a 3-month membership fee (at a discounted rate, thank God!), that the positive reviews on this site were themselves fake. I expressly recall a negative review from a former member saying that he lived in a densely populate area along the east coast, and had not found one real profile.
Well, I can vouch for that user. I live in a relatively densely populated area - roughly 2 million within a 75-mile radius. I received a half dozen or so "canned" (generic) messages. I replied to each and every one, without a single authentic reply back. Not. One.

Add to that the fact that the site itself is buggy. You can't upload photos without submitting a helpdesk ticket, and any blog posts you might be inclined to make will be screened and deleted by their A. I. software for utterly invalid reasons. Case in point: I used the word "classical" in a blog post (in context, I am a "Classically-trained singer"). The A. I screened it out.

Seriously, don't even consider this site. Nor Ashley Madison, Nor Victoria Milan. If anyone has a reliable site to weigh in, then please let the rest of us know! The closest I came was Adult Friend Finder, but even there, better than 80% of the female profiles are fake.

What to do? I honestly dunno.

Ashley Madison is awash with fake female profiles. The whole business model is to lure men into purchasing points. Yes, there are some real profiles, but they are extremely rare. I read some of the positive reviews, and those reviews seem just as fake as some of the profiles I have read on AM. Sadly, I don't know of any other better sites, but if you're looking to find a partner, or even a short-term affair, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding one on this site.
