I have a few questions.

At the urging of a close friend, I took the plunge and signed on AdultFriendFinder, it is my first ever on a dating site. It took me 2 days to finish my profile, answered all the questions honestly, and uploaded a few pictures of myself. Double checked my profile for accuracy, and found no problems. So, I write a self introduction, and likes and dislikes, etc. Took the personality, and the Purity test.

That has been almost 3 weeks ago, since then I have received over 70 emails, from ladies, and one from a TS who want to meet me, either in person or online video chat, about half from gold/silver members, 59 Flirts, and over 100 Hotlists, as of today. Some of them asking for my phone number/email, to contact me directly.

This has be some kind of a scam, right? Are they even real?

I specifically set the age range from 40-52, but I get requests from 19-58, and one from a lady that is 69. What gives?

A few days ago, I got an email from a young lady, asking me to chat with her online, so I did, and soon we switched to video chat. We had fun chatting for a few hours, and then she tells me she would like to move, and live in my area, and work as a waitress at one of the high profile restaurants in DC. Her pitch was that she, and her female partner (she is Bi) would live with me, where I can have unlimited access to her only, as her girlfriend is purely lesbian. I told her I would think about, and get back to her later. She also gave me her real name, and contact info; I think that was irresponsible.

I am very skeptical about this, she does not know me, and I do not know anything about her, very dangerous in my opinion. She told me that she just turned 27, and her partner is 29, but I have to say that she really looks younger in appearance and manner, a beautiful young lady. I am almost twice her age, but she tells me she likes older men. Hmmmm.

So, I did some searching and could not find any helpful info. By the way, her profile states that she is from Sacramento CA, but she told me that she is from Elk Grove, also her profile states that she is 24, but she told me she is 27. Red flags, right?

This also must be a scam of some sort, or....?

I have not responded to anymore emails yet, and I will not do until I know it is safe, and not a scam. Am I right in doing so?

Is adultfriendfinder legitimate? Is it worth pursuing? My friend assured me so, but I have doubts.

Any pointers or advice. Thanks.

It's funny you asked. There seem to be always a condition.  I got an email from a girl and she has pictures of her and another girlfriend.  They both are blonde and look ok.  However, they do have one condition. "We both will sleep with you, BUT you gotta let our guy friend suck your dick first - that's the condition."  I said "Hell Fuk no".

It is a big waste of time.

I have hooked up with 2 ladies from the site. One was pissed because I was married. The other turned out to be provider. She asked for money when she came to the hotel room and did not let me know in advance.

I got tons of flirts and messages from all over the world from women wanting to marry me (spammers trying to get your email address).

They have a database going back 10 years.  Most signed up for a "free look," and never returned.  If there are 1000 people in your area, likely only a few are active.  That was my experience.

a close friend's hedge fund is an investor in the company adultfriendfinder.  the company's business model is basically to rip off stupid horny men.  many of the female profiles are fake.  and the entire site membership is about 95% male.  they advertise heavily on porn sites hoping to trick horny men into joining the site and paying the fees.  apparently they are quite successful at it.

Your buddy's investment just took a hit thanks to your post.  That wasn't very nice.  I'm glad you aren't my friend, unless I could lie to you and then short things before you spill the beans

You will probably notice an increase in the amount of contacts that you get when it is time for your membership to renew.  They throw a ton of fake interest your way hoping to get you to re-up thinking this new tail has interest in you.

Or so I have been told.

he cashed out a while ago when it was sold to penthouse and then again to another porn company.  in any case i doubt what's said here would make that much of a difference.

Yea, your chances of meeting a real civvie girl on there are slim to none... most girls on there are either providers, cam girls, or scam artists..... I use to use it years ago as an advertising tool, & met a coupe of guys off of there for PFP... and got banned about 4 times for being a "provider", lol....
