I've occasionally chatted with what I think are real women, but mostly men or fakes. I know this because after a while they tell me. Also, I used to get tons of messages and emails from women', so I bought some credits. All of those messages (were talking 3-5 a day?) immediately stopped once I paid them money. That tells me those were fakes, that the site manipulates you into paying for credits. I'm sure 1/1000 profiles on that site are real, but you buy credits to initiate contact only to find that the profiles are escorts or men or whatever. Not worth it.
