Is it for real or a complete scam?

I did asianvibes. Burned through $200 in less than 24 hours.

Exactly what I figured.. I'm at no dollars right now.

LOL come on dude. This has happened with almost every adult dating site. Adult Friend Finder and Ashley Madison should have taught everyone a lesson. They have a lot of bots on the site that make you think tons of women want to have sex with you. Then you shell out money and realize most of the profiles are fake. Like come on guys. If women aren't going out of their way to get your attention in real life, why would they do it online?

So you mean the 21 year-old twin cheerleaders who promised to fuck my brains out if I just send them airfare is a scam?
Dang it!

used by the AM site.  You pay to be able to read the responses.  Most of them are AI generated nowadays, so you will be corresponding with a robot.  I started on AM before I learned about TER.  Some will be providers, but most are homely, fat, old, women, or a combination of all three.  After a few meet and greets, I realized what the scam was and quit the site, forfeiting a few hundred dollars I still had on account.  I'd rather spend my money here where I know I will get value for it.

I think that earns a Most Common Sense Post of the Year (yeah, I know still early but I think it's going to hold).

Cmom dude.. of course I was suspicious.

in real life than through intermediaries, but with real life, comes real drama, so I'm always open to new ways to meet potential fuck-mates with minimal commitment up front, but as you and others point out, 90%+ are scams from the beginning.

i have had great success with  Secretbenefits  which is a sister site to seekingarrangements ... now its possible that some are bots, many are obvious pros but there is a significant percentage of real woman,  many with real lives , looking for some side action.    the downside is, its takes time to weed through all the profiles and responses that go nowhere.

A friend of mine pissed through a grand and never hooked up with anyone.  

SB is another site supposedly for guys looking for sugar babies. It's pre-purchased coin-based. To contact a woman... 10 coins... to look at secret pics (usually tame) another 10 coins... to send a photo thru the site... 10 coins... to read secret answers to questions posed by the site... 10 coins... etc. A few are escorts but most are hustlers. Don't waste your money.

everything has a cost ..  the cost with SB and SA in general is time more than the few dollars it costs to contact a girl....i have had great luck on those sites but yes it takes time!  met some amazing ladies .... but you have to contact 15 to get a reply from 1 ...  benefit is when you do find the right girl its a much more passionate /  intimate encounter  vs the mechanical times up at 59 min of a TER lady.
