Ghastly rip off! I switched to AdultsFinder.club - I'm happy to report that there are bunch of real women there who are not stooges employed by the site (which is what I believe eDate women are). I take my hat off to them. I took my eDate profile down. My experience on eDate was absolutely devastating: no genuine women, absolutely all the women I talked to lost interest in me when I mentioned switching to free sites. $800 out of pocket, wasted on scammers - I learned the hard way. Please learn from my mistakes!
The cost of sending a letter is immense. The women are madly interested in you as long as you keep writing them on eDate, they won't make contact off site. This seems to be a recurring theme.
