One problem with a thread like this is that these types of sites hire people to do piecework. Some make profiles, or string people along. Others come to places like this to talk up the sites. “Discreetguy”, above, is almost certainly getting a few cents for his post. You get to work at your own pace from your own home, and make more than minimum wage.

Uh yeah, its a total scam. Don’t sign up. To many men sign up and I’d like to see the herd thin a little. Keep doing whatever you’re all doing.

There are some “tricks” to being successful on AM. Read the FAQ’s and you’ll figure them out (took me a couple months and prefer to not advertise them). I have 2 dates this week while traveling (paid the $20 for the “traveling man” feature for this trip), and have a “local” girl lined up for next week. So far I’ve spent $100 on the site (79 for credits and 20 for traveling man)…I’m almost out of credits at this point, but haven’t experienced any of the “scams” reported here.

Oh, I forgot to add, FU Jeff.

If you look at the profiles there, you see people stuck in loveless marriages with partners who have given up on sex. They stay with their spouse to finish raising the children. They can’t pursue extramarital relationships in the real world, because everyone they know knows they’re married.

You get one life. You can’t ride out the rest of this one and hope the next one is better.

Like some other sites, it is not a complete scam. They do bait people in with fake messages from faked profiles. Also, most of the female profiles are fake. AM claims a ratio of about 3 men per 2 women. That is certainly not true.

There’s one thing I’ve noticed that others have not mentioned. Most of the time, if I send a mail to a woman, she will not logon. I believe they have it rigged to show up that way. I assume others are seeing these fake profiles as active, while I see them as “not logged on in 7+ days”.

Lastly, there are real women on there. Even if the site was planned as a scam from the beginning, they were bound to attract some real women. Much like adultfriendfinder, most of the women are fake, many of the real ones are prostitutes, and a few are genuine.

I think you’re right…. I haven’t been on many other dating sites but I got fooled into paying the membership fee but a private message with an intriguing subject line… once I got access it dawned on me that the message was made purely to get me to sign up… I’ve recieved a few of these since the sign up and have yet to receive a second response after replying… Or maybe I’m a butt ugly weirdo

It is most definitely a scam… employees pose as members. They track your activity and purposely “bait” you when they think you are ready to spend $$. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON AM - IT IS A RIPOFF.

It is definitely a scam - employees pose as members - they track your activity and hit you up when they think they can get $$ from you. I tested this theory in several ways and it is definitely a scam. I tried complaining and was essentially threatened legally. They should be driven out of business. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - YOU ARE BEING RIPPED-OFF.
