NaughtyDate Review April 2021

Registration on NaughtDate is reasonably straightforward. It would only take five minutes or sometimes less, depending on how fast you can receive your verification link in the email. Unfortunately, there is no Facebook signup. However, you'd still find signing up on the site to be hassle-free.

First, you'd need to disclose your gender and sexual preference, age, email address, and nominated password. The site automatically detects your location via your IP address. Once you've input the necessary details, you can now move on to the next step.

Next, you must verify your email account by either typing in the verification code sent to your email or by clicking the confirmation link. After you've confirmed your email address, you must upload a photo of yourself.

Note that NaughtyDate has stringent photo guidelines and even stricter site moderators. You can't access your account without uploading a photo. Your uploaded photo must be a clear headshot of yourself. Otherwise, it gets disapproved.

Here are the main reasons for disapproval: Under 18 years old, containing personal details, copyright infringement (for celebrity photos), group photos, explicit content (such as drugs, violence, death), and offensive gestures.

After you've set up your profile photo, you can opt to flesh out your profile or to do this later. Then, you now have access to the site and may begin browsing through profiles. 

The features on NaughtyDate are very basic. You can browse through profiles, wink at members, and send short, flirty messages known as Flirtcasts. However, unless you are a premium member, you will only get five free chats. Only subscribed users get to have access to unlimited instant messaging. Despite that huge setback, free members can still view Activity, Friends, and Feed section. This means that they get to see who browsed through their profile, who winked or sent a Flirtcast to them.

But are these functionalities worth paying for the subscription? We might be a bit reluctant to say yes on that. This was because not more than 24 hours since when we created our account, we immediately received dubious 18 messages. We were a bit confused and took this as a warning sign of fake accounts.

We dug a little further and found this on the site's Terms and Conditions, "We may, from time to time, create profiles which are created, maintained and managed by our employees (“Staff Profiles”). The purpose of these Staff Profiles is to enable us to ensure our Services are operating properly by testing the Services, features, and functionalities, and to research our products and Services."

While the idea of "Staff Profiles" can be taken as beneficial, it would get anyone wondering that perhaps those 18 messages we had received all came from these so-called Staff Profiles and perhaps, would stop messaging as soon as we have registered to a premium account. 

Unfortunately, NaughtyDate does not permit Standard Members to be able to view photos full size. However, that particular restriction wouldn't cause that much of a problem since profile photos can still be viewed freely--just albeit a lot smaller. The size difference wouldn't matter that much since you can still clearly see the profile pictures.

What was surprising was NaughtyDate's lack of sexually explicit photos. Compared to other adult dating sites, NaughtyDate looks pretty conservative. The women on the site are well-dressed. While they are up for a casual hook up, basing from their profiles, they might also be up for a coffee shop date or two. This is an attestment to the site's commitment to their strict photo guidelines.

Another weakness we have found on this dating website is the minimal information found on the members' profiles. While you can add your personal details upon registration, you can also skip this process and do it later. After that, there will be no more prompts coming from the site itself. Therefore, we can attribute that as one of the factors that might have caused the incomplete NaughtyDate profiles.

A full membership gives you access to all aspects of the site. Full members can send unlimited messages, view all search results, access all members' photos, and see them in full size. They also can contact popular members and freely check the profile info of any member.

To upgrade, simply click "Upgrade Now." The site only accepts credit card payment. Once you have paid, your membership will be upgraded and your period of subscription begins. Your account will auto-renew for the periods stated. Not to worry, since you can cancel your subscription at any time. 

You can have a three-day trial for only 2.97USD.
