I've made the same mistake as others by subscribing to hornymatches.com. I was contacted by somebody before I bought the gold membership, but nobody answered me since then. I've been on other sites, so I can see the difference. All members (men and women) on hornymatches.com are either online or visited the site "today". Almost half of the members are online now, which is clearly fishy. Many members are online all the time. All women who viewed me visited the site "today", but none is online. Yet searches for some categories of users (say, all 65 years old females in Pennsylvania) give only online users, and it's 2am now! My profile is viewed by women from everywhere in the US, showing little or no correlation to my location. That's totally different from other sites. Also, the locations of females are weakly correlated to large population centers. When looking for women 30 miles away, the results are dominated by members from Philadelphia on all sites but on hornymatches.com, where most females live in small towns. Likewise, I'm getting more views from upstate New York (often more than 200 miles away) than from New York City (120 miles away). There is a surprisingly large percentage of paid accounts among women, considering that even women with standard accounts receive a lot of attention, as evidenced by hundreds and thousands of ratings on their photographs. Few women have silver membership compared to gold membership. Yet nobody uses profile highlights. I haven't seen it in my search results, not even among men.

OP seems very upset and frustrated. I would never dream of using Hornymatches.com Well, yea, having a wife to take care of is one reason.... I can understand Juliet's viewpoints very well. And I agree. If you wallow in the garbage you are going to attract flies... and not much else.

I understand the site is a scam, according to the posts I've seen on here. If I gave the impression I didn't think it was, that was not the correct impression I meant to give! I agree it is wrong, and everything else that has been said about it. Nothing I have said is meant to be a JUDGMENT. I just hate scammers taking peoples money, under any type of pretext. It's wrong. That's why I love Ripoff Reports. You seem to be successful on the more mainstream sites. That is terrific! I'm very sorry for the other members who CAN'T find the same kind of success you are having. You also are "onto" the scam, as far as living in a small area, and KNOWING the women they are purporting as available AREN'T THERE. That's small comfort, very true. But other men are experiencing it as rejection of themselves, as they get in many other facets of their lives, and for that reason, I am very glad that you, personally, KNOW that it's NOT YOU - IT'S THE SITE. But as for no one caring about what they see on the internet, I have to disagree. Women may be more conscious of this than men; maybe men are JUST as conscious, but in different ways? I don't know, I didn't mean to make a blanket statement one way or the other. BUT WOMEN DO CARE. I know all the damage I've personally witnessed to women, through the words and determinations of others, LONG BEFORE the internet came around. I truly only wished to point out how women view sites, and I am certain I am not alone, at all, in anything I've said. Women HAVE TO CARE. Massive amounts of women have children, and exe's, and custody disputes, and cannot afford to have their own actions used against them any more than they might already BE being used against them. In thinking about it, I DO know women who WOULDN'T CARE, and might sign up for sites with these kinds of names. But honestly, I don't want those particular women inflicted on ANYBODY. That is the truth. If you knew the women I'm thinking of, YOU WOULDN'T WANT THEM. I don't even want them as friends, and happily, they aren't. I know how much they hurt ME. And I shudder to think of what they do to the men that are sucked into their webs. As for women interested in solely sexual companions, all I can say is that AOL has plenty of member created chat rooms where success can be found. I do know this, for a fact. Actually, as far as HAVING to be concerned that someone might see me on such a site - probably IS more my own concern than reality. But with the kind of luck I've had in my life, if I were a member of a site with such a name, no doubt someone who wants to hurt me would be sure to see me on it, and devastate and humiliate me, just that much further. It would only hurt a few people, but they ARE the few I've got, and I wouldn't dare risk that happening. Again, I would like to emphasize that I do not, in any way, approve of, or endorse, or ENJOY the knowledge that these sites are probably concocted with the primary purpose of scamming MEN. Wounding people is vicious and twisted, and taking advantage of ANYBODY'S desire to connect with another human, is just that more evil. If I made you feel I was judging, or not putting an appropriate amount of empathy into what the members of these sites go through, I am so very sorry. I'm just glad that YOU are finding success elsewhere, and KNOW that YOU are not the problem, it's the site. Wishing us all much peace and prosperity, in all that we do.

Thank you for confirming what I spent 100bucks to find out. This site is fleecing people. AND no, nobody cares about who they see online. If someone sees me on the website who are they to say anything? They were there too!. You can do better. Hasn't wrecked my life. BULL BUTTER!

I honestly don't think that the kind of women I presume you are looking for would pay for a site with this kind of name, or even sign up for free. I'm not at all surprised that you have had much more success with sites that have more "demure" names. For one thing, what if a woman signs up at Hornymatches.com and a co-worker, or family member, should come across her profile? If a person should decide to use her membership on a site so named to her detriment - it could really wreck her life. Women DO think like this! We are aware of the importance, like it or not, of how "things would look" to people we interact with. I don't think the majority of women who even come across a site named like this gives it two seconds of consideration. If a woman wants just a sexual companion, she can find that on a site that ISN'T so embarrassingly named, should anyone come across her profile.
