Adult Friend Finder
Has anyone used this website to find a hookup or someone to date? If so how'd it go?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your responses. I will just try my luck in person
Lots and lots of fake accounts.
Lots of fake accounts and nothing is really done to stop the scammers and spammers. I have met a couple of people from there but not many.
You’ll have more luck on tinder. AFF feels scammy and SLS is nearly impossible as a single male. I’ve met girls on Reddit and fetlife too but tinder is better for meeting online. Either way, online is generally full of unreliable flakes. You’ll probably have the most luck meeting someone face to face in real life.
Tinder and any other platform owned by Match Group is just as bad.
Had a lady I connected with on Okcupid go psycho on me a few months back and bombard me with harassing messages across multiple accounts because I wasn't replying to her quickly enough on Telegram. I had to email customer support to get them to ban her. They gave me a month of free premium as an apology.
Premium confirmed my suspicions. Nearly all of my matches were ladies from different continents who were spoofing their location - either to pull off love scams (easily identified when you run a GIS/Tineye search and find out their pics have been stolen from social media) or to find a Western spouse and the means to a green card.
I don't bring this up out of any kind of prejudice. I just don't want a long-distance relationship with a woman who lives thousands of miles away on another continent, and I hate it when people break the TOS to try and match with others halfway across the world. Did a LDR with a Japanese uni student before and she ditched my ass the moment she finally came to the UK on a transfer year. Even then in the event that it does work out, I also know people who have married foreign spouses and have been intensively grilled and interrogated about their relationship by the Home Office. I don't want to have to hand the British government months/years worth of private messages because they're trying to crack down on mail order brides.
Match really do not give a flying fuck about policing their platforms. The platforms that don't have a website and force you to use a smartphone app are downright unusable because you can't really do a Tineye or Google Image Search to filter out fake profiles and find out how many Instagram and Weibo profiles they've stolen pics from.
I actually met a few people. Not great though
