Gave it one star because can't give it zero. I knew it was a scam but I was bored and thought it would be cheep fun for a night. No real people on it. Whoever is on the other side of the keyboard is pretty good and stringing you along to waste money on coins.

This site is a complete scam and seems to be AI-driven. If not, everyone is coached because the same answer (or similar) comes back time after time. What a hoax!

It's a fraud a sham designed to steal money from their Patrons. All the profiles are phoney there are no women looking for dates. The system to delete and talk to the customers is a no one home. The whole site rings of fruad. The have made unwanted changes in my profiles. Many times I have asked them to delete my accounts, I don't know we how I got two, but they only change the number and location. Since they are not a US site (Netherlands). They must feel they can do as they please and get away with it. I don't know of anyone who has gotten a date from the site.

What happens on the male side is obvious - you never chat with the actual lady; instead a virtual assistant role plays that you are talking to the lady. What would be interesting is what happens from the female side? Do the ladies' buy all these coins like we do?

The profiles are fake. Some of the replies I got were from someone claiming to be in a another town close to me, but by the way they spoke, I would think the UK. Everyday the people messaging me kept getting further and further away from where I live.

These are Nigerians using stolen profiles of women posing as that person.You will note that a lot of their english is bad, and when one starts a trend they all follow. I actually put my cell number on 2 chats ,but they still wanted me to spend money, so they were not interested in chatting its all a scam. I mentioned it to the women but was not answered, the subject was changed.My age was put down as 46 when im 47
