Complaint Review: AdultFriendFinder.com

(I find it amusing that someone commented that they didn't have any problem finding guys on the site. If they're a woman, considering the site means to attract thousands of guys, I would bet that the 10 real women on the site wouldn't have many problems.)

I had the same experiences with this site as everyone else. I signed up for a free account and started receiving all sorts of messages from very attractive women suddenly wanting to contact me. Well, the site doesn't give you any way to contact people you think you might like unless you pay. Like an idiot I paid. As soon as I put down real money I found that a lot of the profiles were either inactive, or just unresponsive.

Actually searching for other women on the site turned up results just as bad. I was contacted all the time by incredibly LARGE, unattractive women, but none of the reasonably attractive ones would ever respond, regardless of any kind of approach. I even found one that supposedly went to the same college as myself, and nothing.

In the weekly e-mails I'd get, they had pictures of women in my area with the profile names. Actually trying to look up these profiles revealed that many of them didn't exist at all or were canceled. SPEAKING of said e-mails in one of the e-mails they sent me they actually included a picture of Sasha Grey. Sasha Grey is an EXTREMELY famous, well known adult film star, and is not a member of the site. Why, if they weren't fake would they include photographer taken images of adult stars?

The few times at the beginning of my time there I experienced two kinds of contact other than what I've mentioned. One would be webcam performers trying to get people to pay for shows, and the other would be the bots trying to get me to pay for another site in order to view pictures of them. I never fell for that. If a person can upload pictures of themselves onto AFF why not just put them there?

I actually just got an e-mail from someone claiming to have talked to me about a month ago on AFF and they even included a picture. This is pretty bizarre considering I've been in a committed relationship for nearly 2 years. This may be a new tactic they're trying. I certainly got e-mails from bots after I closed out my account. If anyone actually does decide to use this site, they should keep in mind that of the REAL PEOPLE it's 88% men 10% lesbians and 1% other. That leaves a 1% slot for real women, and considering they're being contacted by all the other men, all the lesbians and probably even the other, good luck finding them, and good luck with them caring. If you're a woman and you want to use the site, do yourself a favor and get a facebook. If you still want to use the site for some reason, include a sentence like "Since this site is so full of bots and fake profiles can you say orange panda in your e-mail in a response so I know you're not one of them?" it's still not worth it but you might be able to save yourself a few months of subscription cost that way. Watch your CC account like a hawk too, they have and WILL charge you after you've finished. They sometimes come under Epoch. My bank didn't do anything about it, so just don't do it.

If the flirts from profiles that went inactive in a couple of days of the flirts is supposedly on the AFF site, then why did you POST a link to EHARMONY.COM server?

Methinks you are confused.

Here is an image of my browser in the "Flirts" section of AFF. Amazingly, 15 people (one of which is a duplicate profile) all decided to go "inactive" within a few days of sending me their flirt. Coincidence?

After six weeks of Silver membership, I had not been contacted by one, real woman the entire time. The few e-mails I had received from real women turned out to be legitimate (though they're certainly not the statuesque ladies you see in the ads), but there were two people total who were verifiable.

Two days after I cancel my membership and post in my profile that the site is a scam, I've hit by a deluge of e-mails from women saying that they're "real" and don't know why I'm still on the site if I think it's a scam. The following are two examples. Note how similar the text is:

If this site is a scam why are you still here at all?"


The first woman sent me nude photos of herself and insulted me, asking if I "only like guys". No further e-mails were returned.

It's obvious these two work for the site and patrol peoples' profiles/e-mail former members to get them to sign back up on the site. Or in this case, cease from warning other members about the perils of paying money for this site.

BEWARE!!!
