There are a number of sites that we have tried and tested in the adult dating niche. Today we’ll cover the ones that made the cut, and passed the sniff test to have real members that led to real life hook ups. But first, let’s explain what we do to review all these dating sites. First, we go through a very specific verification process and steps to check each site and app that gets reviewed. Want to jump right to the recommendations?

Additionally, we deep dive into third-party sources such as ScamAdviser, TrustPilot, Consumer Reports, and BBB Ratings to further validate our findings. Another very important aspect here is our cadence when it comes to updating and reviewing sites. We are constantly revisiting dating networks in order to reconfirm that the information we’ve published is still current and accurate. Now that you know how we do things, keep reading to learn which sites actually work and are not scams.

Again, we’ve gone through these sites and can vouch for their ability to be real, have a real member base, and actually deliver on all things we look for.  (Customer service, support, no scammy billing model, and of course, actual user base of people using the site that can be reached and that can be seen for dating or hook ups.)

What to Look for In a Scammy Site

There are some things to look for, which we did when we checked out these sites.  Our seasoned team of serial dating artists have checked out dozens of websites claiming to be the top online dating sites for adults, only to fall short of expectations and not lead to any real life hook-ups.

Here is a checklist of things you can look for to sniff out a bad online dating site.

#1:  Poor Customer Service

#2:  Lack of Real Users

#3:  No Company Contact Information

#4:  Horrible Reviews.

#5:  Bad PR

These are five things you can look for as you check out a dating site and decide if it’s for you, or not.  You can always leave a comment here or ask questions about our personal experiences and we’ll always give you our personal take and honest assessment of any dating site you wish to find out more about.  Don’t be shy, just leave a comment below.  You can even use an alias if you don’t wish to leave your real name, we’re fine with that – we’re just here to help you out and make sure that you don’t waste money on any scam dating sites.

Happy Dating!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s a list of some of the most frequently asked questions by consumers reaching out to us about dating sites and hookup apps.

Do you sign up for every site you review? 

Yes, we sign up and use every site that we publish reviews on. Additionally, we read all the terms and conditions of the networks to try and uncover anything strange about each app or site that you need to know.

Are you qualified to publish these reviews? 

Absolutely! We have collectively been familiar with the online dating industry since its inception. If you’re doubting our expertise, just know that we’ve collectively more than two decades of experience in this industry.

Do you have to pay for the sites you recommend joining? 

The answer is no and yes. Many of these sites are free to join. You can actively communicate with other consumers looking to hookup online. However, they all offer additional features which require a credit card and valid premium upgrade. That being said, a premium upgrade means a better experience.

What if I find a site I want your opinion on, how can I submit it for review? 

You can submit a request for review by sending us an email via our contact form on the website.

  1. I just did a negative review on swingtowns new member review and they deleted my profile I had sent customer service a couple of messages first about how we had sent over 40 messages to different profiles and got not one reply back and my wife is beautifully sexy!! We had many pictures in both Categories. We feel for a fact that the messages weren’t being allowed to reach potential couples because in most of the messages we sent we explained about how we feel our messages are not being seen and asked for a reply back even if not interested so that we would know and of course still no replies. We feel the site is a huge scam

  2. For a locality like Los Angeles, is one dating site better than another, for instance, your top picks- what would be a good choice that will allow you to find local people better?

  3. Joined charmdate.com three and a half years ago. I put a manipulated picture of myself, that disguised me, along with a two letter change in my last name, so I can not be identified. Also hid my IP address. I have changed my profile many times, to keep the girls thinking of me in different ways. I am in my late 60’s, advertising for a women between 22 and 36 years of age. Found the women immediately writing to me, with many telling me explicit erotic things they want to do to me. After 3 months of having a straight laced profile explaining my likes and what I was looking for, I changed my profile explaining what I was seeking sexually, leaving nothing to the imagination, to test the waters, to see if it got published, guess what, it was published. Everything I said I enjoyed sexually, is used in emails telling me how they will make me happy.
    “Erotic , intimate topics prohibited by the site for violating the ban and a girl (or a man) who initiates such
    topics is removed from the system.” NOT TRUE.
    The women do a great job in hiding themselves on the internet, away from social networks, but found one on Facebook. If you follow what I have done in my profile, you will see sexual, erotic material is excepted, they will not allow email addresse’s. I have never spent a penny on the site, just their free services. I used for entertainment.
    I can understand these women are using the sight for income, that’s how they afford all the makeup and clothes.

    Are totally free dating sights.
    These women are not totally made up from head to toe, like all the women on Charmdate. The conversation’s in emails are realistic and not fake.

  4. This is an update from June 28, 2022. I signed a subscription for PimEyes to look up a woman from Charmdate using her picture, her ID Julia C953537 found her in many Porn Sites, advertised as a Professional. Have continued checking out other women the same way that are on this dating site, also doing porn for a living. PimEyes let’s you use for free for a short time, it is informative. These women know how to play a man, be careful.

  5. Do you have a recommended list for kink dating ?

    Tried Alt.com and cancelled that after somebody jacked my card to charge me to change my gender ( from M to MF ) and another change I did NOT want to do, just because I turned off ” autopay ” feature.

    Looking for another site, already on Fetlife.com, no luck there, but at least it’s not a scam site. What you suggest ?
