Although, I feel more comfortable with mainstream sites like Match, I experimented with this "adult" site over the weekend with a three day four buck trial.

My approach: I contacted about two dozen local women within fifteen years of my age (49). Most of the women's profiles were very brief, usually with one or two sentence suggestive lines, despite the fact that the site has a fairly intensive questionarie that subscribers can use. There weren't a lot of photos, but I don't know that I would expect that from women in this setting. I am not comfortable with posting photos of myself on a site of this nature, but filled out the "sexual profile" throughly, and wrote up what I felt was a decent seductive script. I also offered to exchange photos, and in a few instances where more effort was put into the prospect's profile, I just sent some.

Once I posted my profile and sent messages out, the site immediately threw in a rather mediocre porn site for free. A day into it, I recieved an unsolicited response back from a woman named Paula, 26 yo, from a thousand miles away. Paula even had a nude photo, and suggested she "liked" my profile, and "travelled". Now I feel I'm a catch, but I'm wise enough and experienced enough with dating sites to know that 26 yos from miles away will not contact me, so obviously bogus.

After the three days had passed, I had not recieved a single response back. If I had sent (with profile and my photos) the same number of contacts (24) to reasonably selected profiles of women on Match, my response rate would have been maybe a third (8). Of the eight, I could have met in person four of those. If my goal was to get laid (I'm above average looks, fit, fun and healthy, but also older), I'd guess after the standard mainstream couple dates, I would have had two of those women. Of course most women on Match are looking for at minimum good dating relationships, so although I have done it, basically I consider it unethical to just be out there going through women sexually on that kind of site, unless your intentions are straightforward. Obviously, Bangmatch would be a different story.

If I had to guess, I would say many of the profiles on Bangmatch are real women, although the effort put in suggests they are mostly fishing expeditions, much more so than a mainstream site like Match. One problem may be that the site operators simply can't deliver the volume of mail, especially from males? At any rate, for me to pay $33 a month for any site, I expect my messages to be delivered promptly, and returned in kind, not happening here.

Resigning was an easy process. I will post again, if it turns into a billing hassle.

Cool update! thanks for that. I have to say I'm always pretty sceptical of the "adult" dating sites -- if they are cyber-pickup-up-joints then you have to go in with your brain fully alert!

There are plenty of scammers out there, all the usual dating safety rules apply double for online dating and triple for "adult dating"!
