"Someone said it right there is the psychology aspect to take into consideration with men and women."

In writing a review for a website you have to judge by it's effectiveness and what a user can expect to get out of it.

AFF and the format it runs on is just like Socialism, it looks good on paper and works well for those who are running the system, but it causes great disstress for most of those people who use the system. It's the psychological aspect of human sexality that leads to the fact that AFF is uselessness to most people who are looking for sex or to meet.

I think that most of the users on that site get worn down by trying to attract other members. Men get worn out by sending emails and getting no replys, trying to prefect their profile and photos with little effect, spam email from fake profiles, and the homosexuals who are always pestering straight male users. I can also see that women get worn down by one liner emails and c0ckshots from men. Also, women seem to get confused when they recieve 100 emails from men.

Despite the women's rights movement and sexual liberation, most women detest the idea men only wanting to have sex with them. Sure, women get horny as much as men do, but they're also turned off by the idea that a man wants nothing to do with who they are, that the man only wants to have sex with her and that's it.

As with Socialism, there are those few who will enjoy and benefit from AFF's system. Those type of people are the ones who will enjoy the networking capabilites of that AFF offers. Women can stand to benefit from AFF since there are far more men than women on that site. There are guys on AFF who do want to be involved with one woman in and out of the bedroom. I don't think very many of the women on AFF are very good at weeding these type of guys out for themselves.

In the time I spent on the site, I saw that most of the women are in their late 30's or older. Many of the women I saw are deeply rooted into the website and it's appearent that they are just trying to make friends and enhance their social life. This is an example of the type of people who benefit from AFF.

So, how does the site work for someone who's in their late 20's to early 30's?

I spent quite a while on AFF trying to figure out how to work that system for myself. At one point, I was on in the Top 50 most viewed male members. I had met some women on that site. I felt that I had done a pretty good job of mastering it. Still, I was having trouble getting exactly what I wanted and that was a half-way attractive woman to date and have a FWB relationship. The fact remained that there's a serious shortage of women on AFF, and many of the women who are on AFF just passing time and rooting themselves into the system.

So, I took the skills I learned from AFF and good pictures I had on my AFF profile and used them on Craigslist. It's quite hard to describe the difference, but after trying Craigslist I had no desire or need to ever again use AFF. Within a month, I had met more women (face to face) on Craigslist than I did in my years on AFF. Soon after that I had found a FWB on Craigslist, something I just couldn't find on AFF.

No matter how much work I put into AFF, I could net replicate the success I found on Craigslist. Craigslist is a better system to use for people who are looking to meet face to face.
