How legit are dating sites

They're not very legit.

Tons of fake profiles, escorts and prostitutes, a pretty low percentage of actual women.

Are there some real women? I've heard there are.

If you're going to sell that kind of thing, it's best not to ask those kinds of questions.

And why is that, if I may ask?

Weren't those scumbags at AFF sued due to fake profiles or conning their free members in to upgrading to paid memberships by sending them bullshit emails from fake members? They've always [allegedly

] falsely inflated their membership numbers via fake profiles and by not removing abandoned/cancelled profiles.

There are a lot of people, some big names, that make a lot of money selling what is at best mostly a scam, and at worst is plain and simple prostitution, an illegal service.

But it's sold by those big names because it makes money in an era when paysite sales are steadily dropping.

If you want the money, it's better not to know what you are really selling.

Will it get investigated? For now it doesn't seem to be on Justice's radar. And lots of people sell it.

There might be some companies that are more legitimate than others.

Bill,

I hear what your saying, but since I'm a very curious fuck, I had to ask. I believe in being informed prior to making a decision. How many webmasters actually read the TOS before signing up? I read every fucking one. I'm anal like that.

Thanks for the info

Yeah, mine shows up for a small town, and I know just about every girl in town.

I also like the massage parlours flyers. Like 90% of the pictures are of major porn stars, and I pretty sure they ain't working there.
