American Singles is just another ripoff American online dating predatory business scam. I agree with a previous poster about going to Russia, or such. Unfortunately, only a few guys have the money to go to Russia and use the top agencies like in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, etc., and try the high class marriage agencies that hand pick the women and send the hags packing right back out the door. It's about $5K minimum for the trip, and can easily hit $10K if you stay more than a couple of weeks. Then there are the fees to get the bride over and situated in the west. And they want to go back home for visits occasionally. You're usually dealing with a close knit Russian family, and travel back to Russia is an added expense, but usually a fun experience for guys I have met who married Russian women. But that's not online dating. That's letting professionals set things up for you, and they depend on repeat business from people who meet the women those lucky guys marry. I'm talking the genuine brick-and-mortar walk-in agencies here with a PhD psychologist on staff, not what you see posted on the internet, which is the Russian equivalent of what you are getting here online, only not quite so fat, crabby and ugly. The highest class Russian gals never allow their profiles to be posted and only meet appropriate guys who show up in Russia. Their profiles are never seen on the internet. They are smarter than the burned out hags you meet on North American and Western European online dating websites that can't get a guy otherwise, so they go online. Oh yeah, I met a few of those gals, so I know the Russian thing is the deal for the guys with the money and the know how. Most guys don't have the money and the know how. Those who did, got what they went after. I'm saving my money, and staying away from the online cesspool. But websites like American Singles have done the world a favor if they took some of their members off the street so I don't meet them in real life. So they do get one star, for accidently doing one thing right.

I think it is fake because I recently decided to try it out and I was surprised at the search results. I did a search result based on "most active" and there were only 21 guyz in my area that were active and the 21st guy logged in 22 days ago. Everywhere beyond that logged in more than 60 days ago and their profile was updated 3 years ago. Also I didn't even have a picture up and I had foreigners contacting me and they were very persistent. I had a guy lie about his education as well. I don't know why AS would have profiles that are 3 or 5 years old around unless they are fraudulent. So I would give it 0 stars if I was given that option.

I just joined plenty of fish becuase it's on the top 10 dating sites. On the site there are actually members to talk to. Also, I didn't see a lot of crappy gold-diggers like you would see on match,com. I would recommend plentyoffish.com just because it's free. Unless, you wanna crap your money away on a dead site like americansingles.com.

I've found a few dates on the other sites and the women on those sites are very bad with dealing with men... Or maybe I should say they have a lack of social skills regarding dating members of the opposite sex. I think these women should lay down the crack pipe and try to find a few dates from guys they meet in public.

Wish me luck!

Unlike "girl" below, I wouldn't even join this site if it was free to me. Nobody needs this crap anymore. If you must go online, go with a top free website like Plenty of Fish. It has made HUGE strides in the past year and will soon blow past all the paid websites. In my home state, it has grown 3 or 4 times bigger in the past year and a half, so no need for Match.com or this website anymore. Yes, I did get some results from Plenty of Fish, but I was not serious and did not follow up on them. Eventually it will get big enough at POF for them to have a really serious database and at that point all the paid websites will go totally free or stay small, because you don't have to buy a cow when they are giving away milk for free. Paid membership websites such as AS has been what has wrecked the potential of online dating. You need a huge database for online dating to work. When a very large percentage of all singles and those looking for partners in any single area are online, then online dating will be a real reality. For now, it is too much of a lunatic fringe thing. Those who do the bar scenes and other meeting places correctly are having more luck.

Why don't all you losers date a herd of sheep and then get on a Jerry Springer show? I'm tired of all your bitching and moaning and how you can't get any dates. All your crap just goes on and on.

This looks to be about as good for women as Match.com if they live in a metropolitan area that has lots of members. Any decent online dating service is at least 3 stars for a semi-attractive female. Cherry pickers are the ones doing the most complaining from the female side of the sites. In my more rural area, even Match.com has trouble with the membership levels. It takes about 1000 members of the opposite sex in your age group in American society to supply about a dozen people you would want to date seriously and 3 that are marriage material. That's just a fact I dug up. Women can get dates on these online websites, but guys are at a 3:1 disadvantage or more and only the most attractive males, that tend to be players anyway, will hang around for very long. Every agency/website that wants to succeed will have to limit male members until the females in this society grow some skin and are able to handle the hard knocks of online dating and dating agencies. I once joined Together Dating Service, and it was just as bad as online dating, except they charged over a thousand dollars to most members. Women often got free memberships to try to get their numbers up. It sucked, and I sued them and got my money back. Since women don't seem to give a damn in this society, except to have their big fat ugly butts kissed for putting out almost no effort on their part, I suggest that guys do what women do: Put up a free profile and browse around a bit to see what happens with almost no effort on your part, then get lost. You have tried as hard as 90% of the famales, if not harder. The percentage of inactive or barely active female members far outnumber the male members. Sites like Friend Finder and Matchmaker keep female profiles from years back. The women who are most active tend to have serious emotional and personal issues past the first month or two of membership. That means you have to limit to recent members, and so the number of decent females takes a further big drop. Most older women are divorced, and you quickly learn it was usually for a damned good reason somebody wanted rid of them. Be wary of those people who have been online for over 90 days. It's better to take a season off from online dating after a 90 day period, in order to get your head screwed back on straight. There are stupid women on these websites that think men are rolling in offers from every female around. People meeting more people online than in real life tend to be wacko anyway. Women who do not have photos available or send one before meeting are to be dumped immediately as they are butt ugly before the emotional and personal issues are even considered. I tried that once, and you should have seen the headcase wacko pig I wasted a night and 100 miles of round trip driving on. Online dating is a bad, Bad, BAD experience for any decent guy in America. In real life, you are 60% likely to meet a fat woman, and only 10% are actually in good physical condition and slim. All the attractive and emotionally stable women are hit on by men all the time, so you know what ends up in the online dating world. Those who ARE attractive and emotionally stable in online dating are cherry pickers who what somebody above their league. If you were in their shoes, you might be doing it yourself. You already have access to men who are in your league offline, so you take absolutely ZERO RISK and have to commit absolutely nothing to get a date online as you are getting them already in the offline world. I would suggest going to eastern Europe where the odds are in the men's favor like it's in the women's favor here. Go ahead and date any woman that might come along here, but keep your sites on an eastern European woman that has a model figure and an outstanding personality. Set your mind on making the money that allows this, so don't go blowing your assets on American women unless they want to date Dutch. You will then be thinking like American women and might start having some success. The last thing you do is kiss bitch butt if you want to find a decent woman.

Males are at an extreme disadvantage here. From the girls' POV, this site isn't too horrid. It's better than true.com or lavalight or any of the scummier sites. I have never received any kind of contact from a scamming male profile on it. I've met plenty of people in my area on it as well. It may be because I am one of the real female profiles out there and I have moderate grammar skills. The site needs more "real" girls. The mail order bride numbers and even transexuals on the site turn men off to it. Plenty (and I mean PLENTY) or older men are on the site as well.

I have an account and so does my male friend. Our experiences are day and night with it and it's mainly because of the lack of quality female profiles and th eabundance of fake profiles.

I am guessing these sites are overrun with male profiles. True.com begged me to stay on it because I was semi-attractive. They offered me free membership even.

Not a bad site for females, terrible site for males.

Did you ever stop to think that a member with a name like Mike Hunt might really be "my cunt"? That's the dating scene on American Singles. I wouldn't expect a "hole" lot more from a website like this one.

I disagree with everyone! American Singles is doing what it was created to do. Take your cash. I logged on to try to find some ugly chicks I could start a dialouge with. No good looking women are going to use this site. I plan on hiking the Appalchian Trail soon and its always a good idea to have someone you can contact every couple hundred miles. O.K. I admit it was a bit of a scam on my part. So, This girl hotlists me (lorelon #101838554)Totally hot, so I know she is scamming me. Tells me her real name is Galina Makarova & her E-mail is Claudia_sharp17@yahoo.com.long story short I checked google pictures over the course of a week or soto find out who she was. Turns out the Pictures are from porn star Melissa Midwest. I was almost surprised after searching all of those pictures on google image, that nearly every one of the good looking women @ American Singles(no exageration) have a porn site. they probably all do and I only found 90% of them. what is scary is how many of the ugly women @ American Singles have porn sites which is really all American Singles is. a collection of Scammers using pictures from other peoples porn sites or their own to prey on your tired, lonely ass. now you know so have some fun and scam the scammers. I cant stress enough, even that Ugly 43 year old who is looking for a man just like you, can most likely be found butt naked on some freaky animal love porn sight. To the girls who read this, the skinny dork your slowly falling for is probably real, but research him anyway. To everyone, never ever send anyone you meet monet or personal information (ss3, address, etc)
