For this interview, we set out to investigate the legitimacy of AdultFriendFinder.com and will serve the results of our findings, here. We invite you to continue reading to learn whether you can trust this online dating site.
Why we bring the legitimacy of AdultFriendFinder.com into question?
1) The site asks you to upgrade to a paid subscription
Before you can even check out the site it automatically takes you to a page where you are asked to pay for a membership upgrade. Here are the given options you can choose from:
- $29.95 for 1 month subscription on the site
- $59.80 for 3 months subscription on the site
- $179.10 for a yearly subscription on the site
We skipped this step and proceeded to investigate the site, but couldn’t do anything without paying first. When we got a message from another site member – we had to pay the monthly membership fee to be able to open the message and read its content. When we tried to start a conversation with women on the site – we were taken to the page where you give your credit card info and choose a payment plan.
2) Messages start flooding after you sign up
We are aware that AdultFriendFinder.com is an old dating site, but thought that getting so many contacts seems a little too pushy. Are we that lucky that we got so many women to write to us when our profile was intentionally left without a photograph? We were able to find this short section in the site’s Terms of Use page that read:
FROM THE TERMS OF USE: “By using the Services, you consent to receiving electronic communications, e.g., email, from us or our subsidiaries and affiliated entities. These communications are part of your relationship with us and you receive them as part of your membership.”
3) Are there really that many women in your area?
Did you ever question the same? It was simply too weird that there were that many gorgeous women close to us, which were ready to date. Plus, the physical appearance of these women brought another question in mind and that was why such beautiful ladies would be seeking dates online when they can simply go to a bar tonight and meet a lot of potential partners. We believe the term “affiliated entities” from the Terms of Use refers to these women on the site. They may be fake profiles or may be the site’s employees hired to act as real site members and communicate with you. The end goal, of course, is you to pay for a monthly subscription with your hard earned money.
The verdict on AdultFriendFinder.com
This site has been around long enough to know how to hide the obvious proofs for condoning any illegitimate or scamming actions. But, if you think clearly, there are several points where AdultFriendFinder.com seems that it’s not 100% trustworthy.

Adult Dating Toplist Revealed
Seeing as though I’ve given you the rundown of all these adult hookup sites, you should know just how crucial it is to join the right one. Not doing so can lead to serious financial as well as emotional repercussions. Having said that, I hate to see my readers stuck using the “bottom of the barrel” dating services that just don’t lead to sex. I’m personally in the game to bang and nothing more. Assuming that you’re in the same boat or you have the same modus operandi, then I’m going to save you some time and money today. Below you will find a list of my favorite adult dating websites that I use both on the go and while sitting at my desk at work. I’ve been using them for years and can’t say enough great things about the services. Give one a shot or leave the women for me, the choice is yours.

This site MAY have a large nimber of users, but as of December 2016 I would guess at least three quaters no longer even use the site. Unless you live in a capital city ANYWHERE you have next to no hope of finding someone anywhere near you, let alone anyone you would WANT to meet.
There are a very large number of female members who have multiple profiles, and even then they are outnumbered by males at least 50 to 1….do the mental math there.
Many of the ‘female’ member are men and there are as many fake money grabbers as on craigslist or any other well known scam sites around.
There is a large amount of ‘only here to cause trouble and harass ‘ users and as many are female as male. The female ones are worse in chatrooms as the site has a ‘Delete mens accounts ad hock but let the women do as they please’ method as they want as many females as possible to get more men to pay.
On the note of paying, they advertise ‘Pay for 3 months get 1 free’! but if you do the math, they still charge you for 4 months, same with ‘Pay for 12 months get 3 free….you pay for 15 months. If you do not turn off automatic renewal, your CC will be charged without your permission even if you were going to let it go and good luck and many years trying to have that undone.
The sites management system is lame at best and all banned users can make a new profile the same day, and many do!
1 particular woman from Australia has been banned over 350 times in a 12 month period and she is still active there using over 100 currently active profiles today!
Standard members can do nothing but use chatrooms and are constantly being led to ‘Upgrade now’ pages trying to do anything else.
There ARE some good people on the site, and real and genuine people you might want to meet, but if you have no plans to travel halfway around the world to take a chance on them being the sex they claim, and to find out if their photo’s ARE them and are RECENT not 20-30 years old, then forget it!
You have much more chance finding who and what you are looking for at your local park, bar, nightclub or even church than you do on any of the Adult Friend Finder sites and you are a complete loser if you would consider ever paying for the experience, If you have money to throw away….go and pay a hooker! At least you’ll get something remotely pleasant for your money!
This site is a FRAUD. Look they’ll say there’s more guys than ladies…blah, blah…and yes…there are lots of Bot listing which are obvious…but…this is what I’ve found on AFF after quite some time. There are more and more every day looking women profiles that are obviously fraudulent. You’ll contact them and then they’ll say…(in more than one instance the exact same wording)…”oh, I’ve met someone”…but their profiles stay active and online…again…the exact same wording…I ran into a woman’s profile when pressed where I received an automatic message saying…”I’ve been chosen as an AFF Ambassador…blah, blah”…in other words…the profile ADMITS it’s not real…then…I get two other supposed women on chat…in both instances the same excuses…tech issues or then suspiciously their English becomes very broken and they can’t keep up with your chat…THERE IS NO DOUBT THIS IS AN AFF driven FRAUD…STAY FAR AWAY…the idea is to keep you hooked.
I have an account with adult friendfinder and one profile had their email address on their profile picture so I emailed and a Lady sent me her photo and said if I want to meet her to go to her link she sent me through gmail and she said I had to have a dating security number. Is there such a number on that site? Or a scam?
I’ve given up on dating sites. They’re all scams, from I can determine. I’ve literally read hundreds of reviews and they are contradictory. One review will say a site is excellent, another will say it is a scam. I’m even beginning to question whether some reviews themselves are scams. I will use traditional methods from now on, just strike up a conversation with a lady, on the train, at a bar, at a party, at a dance. At least I know that person is real, even if I strike out.
I totally agree! What’s more is, it seems too me, that they reuse former members user names, and characteristics after the have deactivated their accounts. Legal repercussions, most likely not many, because how do you prove it?
If only I could find a hooker. I’m down here in Fayetteville Tennessee and been out of prison almost a year and still have not got laid. I’m on over 50 dating sites and no one online is real. Tell me where I can walk out here into the street and find a hooker in the Bible Belt?
Sign-up, PAY, get blocked right away.
“This account is no longer active”
This is all you get after you spent an hour on your profile setup (totally nice text and a photo) and $40 on the upgrade. Got no chance even to do my first search. Total BS. Stay away.
Goddamit, wish I’d read this before I spent the $20 for the 1 month deal. Same thing, took my credit card alright, then got flooded by crap, then couldn’t access site. Scanned for viruses and malware. Wasn’t that. Cleared cookies, logged in again, “Account no longer active”. A fool and his money… This should be an interesting conversation with the credit card to roll back…
In order to go on someone page u have to pay money ain’t no fucking way I’m about to give out my credit card information this is a bullshit app soon or late I’ll be deleted this app
As a member for over 8 yrs now, I can say for SURE it’s real. Met well over 10 ladies in that time period. The fakes are pretty obvious.
Site seems total bs. People (woman?) pretending to be woman!? Note how many work for “UNICEF” (or other charity) and “just happen to be out of town” (Africa currently popular) but home in 7-10 days!? Stay far, far away from AFF.
I have been using the site for a few years. I am an attractive single woman but I don’t go to bars, clubs very often and when I do I don’t meet any guys. For hook ups or anything else. So I see online as a good way to do that. The site used to be good, I met decent attractive, professional guys but then my profile was hacked. After having a break.I rejoined only to find a ton of fake male profiles using stolen pictures or the internet. Its been proving very hard to meet anyone on there even as a woman!
I joined in 2009 – 2014. I am an older woman & was in the chat room for my state a lot. It was fun with the regulars in there. Then some women with jealousy issues started making trouble sending messages with lies about me to guys in the chat room. There were other stupid fights between women. It was like middle school. BUT I met some great guys. I still talk or see some. For me at the time it was great. I could easily find the guys I wanted. I could narrow it down & talk to them until I found who I wanted. I didn’t need any more guys & the chat room sucked. Hardly anyone was on there & it here was more cliques. I go on now every cpl months to delete messages. My profile says not looking but I like to.keep my pics up.
Guys need to treat us better. Not be so rude & think we’re there just to have sex with them. Just having sex with every one who writes us. And get mad when we don’t answer & then send rude messages. These guys ruin it for the others. I don’t know what site ppl go on now. Ill get AFF is now 100-1 men to women.
I want to make a comment about Adult friend finder. My bf took out what was pose to be a 3 day trail for $25.00, so tell me why it cost him not $25.00 bucks but a $107.99 !! What the hell then they cut his time off said that his debt card was declined. Which I know for a given fact that it was since his bank show where they received their payment of a $107.99 . So I’m calling BBB first thing in the morning and I’m getting with my bank and charges are and will be filed against this so called sex hook up joke of a site. If anyone has enough since get u a piece of butt the old fashion way and forget these studied sex sites which are nothing but a bunch of crap that scam decent people out of their money. Thank you
Same thing happened to me too. I gave my credit card details, and I have been ripped off for 87,74$ and 107,97$ subsequently. I sent them a message, but with no response.
Unattractive males like myself have NO chance on that website or others like it . Regardless of how respectful we are . Which to me being respectful comes naturally because i was raised that way from a child but if a males grows up physically unattractive those natural good manors won’t do him a ounce of good . Guys like me ALWAYS end up on sites like Backpage
Very iffy. Let me preface by saying I am a 65 year old male that would be rejected by 95 percent of the women on the site. I paid for a month and all I got were messages and photos of 20 – 30 year old girls, tgirls, and men. One fifty year old was hot but turned out to be a scammer. Do not go to safe date when asked. Fortunately I looked it up. Nothing good I don’t recommend.
I signed up with AFF recently and I already met a girl that is awesome. Now, I saw the flood of profile views and messages that came flooding in a first. Cute girls from out of state or in another country. Yes. You have to ignore those. The girl I met, her and I have similar interests and fetishes, and she’s just freakin’ awesome. Did I just get lucky? idk.
I have a rule that works for AFF – avoid anyone who contacts you first because 9 out of 10 it’s a scammer.
Of course any you contact first will probably think you’re a scammer.
In short your chances of meeting someone decent are better if you simply lay down in the street than they are at Adult Friend Finder.
I would try free alternatives before I touched AFF with a ten foot pole.
-okcupid
-plenty of fish
-Meet up(is different but is fun and you know that you will meet people that you truly have things in common with)
Personally I like it. Not a waste of time like some. Also recommend hookup hangout for those looking for a good alternative or second site to use.

I was contacted by so many women there. I chatted with several for a while and after they get you hooked on them they say you have to pay to meet them. Some even require a gatepass or personal id. What a joke. I wasted my money but one time is better than multiple times! Some girls were asking 450-500 dollars for meeting them. Lol! Yeah right.
I’ve been on AFF for three weeks. It seems that my contacts from women all have the same poor writing skills. When I press for proof that they are real I get the “I’m not going to play these games” response. An example of a recent chat: profile said she was from Tampa, in the chat she was in Alexandria Va. the profile pic was obviously a Caucasian woman,chat said she was Mexicanwith the name Hailee. Asked where she was from due to the style of writing, answer: island of Siesta Key. lol. SMH. Style of writing in responses too similar to be different people. In my opinion BIG ASS SCAM!!!
Congratulations Adult friend finder! I’ve been one of your sexy single female webcam users for at least a YEAR & NOW I’m DELETING my account. THAT’S RIGHT, you have very few sexy single females on this site and you’ve LOST ANOTHER!!! THAT’S HOW TERRIBLE YOUR SITE IS & HOW AWFUL YOUR TREATMENT IS OF YOUR VERY POPULAR USERS!! Guys, do NOT PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP!! I can’t speak on the billing process since I’ve never been a gold member, BUT I’ve heard from MANY gold members that the site is still TRASH. As a standard member myself, I can’t read messages, can’t broadcast & most of the time I can’t even get IM’s because their constantly disappearing from my inbox. And I KNOW my im’s aren’t even sending because I get the same guys that have been trying to hookup with me for MONTHS but my messages STILL don’t get through! I don’t think your GOLD members would be very happy to know that us standard members can’t even READ messages from them!!!!! NOT COOL!!! This site is literally useless for me at this point. Unless I just want to search for users that I can’t talk to?! Lol And see a bunch of unread messages from gold members flooding my inbox!?! I called customer service twice on the issue, both times the reps could BARELY speak English, had absolutely ZERO customer service skills or knowledge about the site. They just give that standard, scripted response: “you must be a gold member.” Ummm, NEWSFLASH HONEY: YOUR SITE EVEN SUCKS FOR GOLD MEMBERS! THEY’VE TOLD ME MANY TIMES!!!! LMAO And what about your sexy female performers that broadcast & bring guys in therefor HELP YOUR BUSINESS?!? Do they not give a f*ck about us?? Clearly not!! They used to give us a FREE gold membership simply for accruing a ton of points from other members. WTF HAPPENED??? And just for your info, I never did this to try & make money I joined to HAVE FUN ON WEBCAM, NETWORK WITH & MEET SEXY MEN, & I HAVE YET TO MEET ONE!! LOL And when I call customer service they say “We haven’t had any complaints about our website, blablabla thanks & goodbye” HAAAAH!!! HAHAHA!!! THAT’S A LAUGH!!!! OH & NO APOLOGY OF COURSE for my MAJOR inconvenience & their seriously f*cked up, jankey site, just awkward, dead silence & scripted responses. Where can I get a job like this?? LOL Gotta love foreigners F*ck this site. And f*ck their HORRENDOUS team. I hung in there for WAY too long & I’m now done for good. Have I missed anything??? Let me know LOL
I agree with most of the above commenters – AVOID AVOID AFF. I can assure anyone reading this that AFF is almost a complete waste of time. It’s outdated, very “buggy”, the IM feature doesnt work well, the live webcamming has been taken over by women who want to be paid, i.e. no different than Chaturbate, etc – and the absurd “new features” such as “Buzzmode” don’t even make sense. The few real people are mostly male, fat and well into their fifties, and have no qualms about showing you their saggy bottoms. You’ll be bombarded by fake profiles of gorgeous women who only have one well-lit photo of themselves “flirting” with you, and then will try to con you out of your email address.
Ten years ago AFF was a functioning, legitimate hook-up site – now it’s been rendered obsolete and the company knows it. Tinder and the 20 other similar apps are much more usable, that’s why AFF tries to charge for everything and generate revenue from the webcammers.
Save your money for something else.
I’ve been on AFF for four years. Since there are so many fake profiles on that site, I get accused of being a fake and I’m a gold member. Good looking girls get bypassed because of fake shit on aff.
