Wow, an actual review from a woman! This is strange, I know.
I actually enjoyed reading through all the reviews which wanted to rate the women as well as the site, itself.
As a woman, yes it is about "adult" networking. As a woman, yes there is a huge attraction to the fact that we can join a site which is not as limiting to our sexual freedoms and we can freely express that. When a large portion of our female populations is no longer so marriage centric. Women like me can just look for like minded men to enjoy spending time with and not have have that cloud of marriage hanging over them.
NEWS FLASH!!! Marriage is different then an "LTR", gentlemen!! Just because a woman is advertising that she is not interested in one night stands, that does not mean that she is expecting the white picket fence either. Get over yourselves, is what I have to say.
I have met someone on AFF. I have been dating him for about 9 months. Is he someone I will introduce to my family, probably not. My friends, yes I would. Is it the perfect "friends with benefits" situation out there? YES IT IS! I was not a woman looking for an NSA encounter. I specifically said that in my profile.
I think the reason you have mostly men here complaining about website is that I think AFF is at fault with its deceptive advertising, "Join for free and get laid tonight!"
I do blame AFF for that. Because of that men will log on, create a profile with their laundry list of wants (including fake breasts) or a declaration of desperation (I have not been laid in 6 months), post their dick pick and expect the women to flock to them.
The Fake profiles, yes, they are there and they are very easy to spot. But I think that the desperation feeds the fraud. This, too, I place blame on the way AFF sells the website out there to the masses.
Now as for having to join to get the full benefits of the site? HMMMMMMMM... YES, I think you should pay a company for the services they are selling. Don't you think so? I mean, you expect to join and get full access. In my opinion all the free loading men who are standard members should go away. I see them daily. I have personally bounced back and forth between Gold, Silver and Standard. Currently, I am a standard member since I have met someone. The blogging community there is an excellent place to be and I have met some valued friends through the blogs. Guess what? They invest a little time.
So, can really blame and criticize a company for charging their customer to use their services. I am surprised they give out popularity privileges, which I benefit from. I can look, email, chat, blog and pretty much anything I want to, but the pics I can view are smaller and I do not have access to view all the pictures.
How can you expect not to pay?
I also have never had a problem with their billing, at all. I have turned my auto renew off and never get billed. Restart my account and get billed. Just the way it is suppose to work.
Just like you guys issues with the fakes we, women, have out own:
The 50 year old men think that they can pass themselves off as 40 year old men, throw their dick pic up there and the horny college age girls will be throwing themselves at them.
I can walk into any bar and get laid. I have no problem with that, thank you! But I do not feel comfortable walking into a bar and saying, "hey, I am bi and love to swing a little. How about you?"
This allows for a little bit of a screening process which I think is very valuable. I mean gentlemen, you are wanting to put your body part inside of me. Right? Do you expect us ladies to get one email and fall on our backs for you?
As for the one guy who said that he could go to a strip club and get a blow job in the back room. Well, good for you and continue to do that because your level of desperation is not the kind of man I am attracted to in the first place.
Again, LTR does not equal marriage. LTR does not equal monogamy. My relationship, we each still date, but we also know that there is a primary partner that we can come home to on almost any given night to avoid that temptation of random sex. And we make for perfect play partners in the lifestyle.
So, this is no, i do not understand all the bashing I have seen here. I do not understand how you can underrate the site and more importantly many of the women on the site. Yes, it is a very diverse environment on both of the gender sides (ummm, actually there are several genders to chose from ;-)).
It is as diverse as the real world. So, no. I can not buy half of the negative reviews here, sorry.
You get out of AFF what you are willing to put into it. The quality is there for you to have if you are willing to exhibit quality, yourself. You get an email you do not like, simply ignore it, block the user and move on.
I think the reviews here and elsewhere are unfair. I almost closed my account and ran from the site when I saw all the dick pics and "wanna fuck tonight" emails. But I have given it sometime and have been very happy with the friend I have met and the wonderful platonic friends I have met.
Do not judge by the disgruntled men on here and elsewhere about AFF.
Someone said it right there is the psychology aspect to take into consideration with men and women. And there are many women out searching for an avenue to express their sexuality but still have standards and expectations in place.
It is an adult playland. Enjoy yourself!
