AdultFriendFinder
Overview
AdultFriendFinder has been connecting adults since 1996, which makes it one of the oldest names in online hookups, and still one of the biggest. Its membership runs into the tens of millions, covering singles, couples and swingers, and in most cities you will find several times more profiles here than on rival sites. It works less like a dating app and more like a social network for grown-ups. Besides profiles and private messages there are chat rooms, groups, blogs, member photos and videos, and live webcams, some of them broadcast by members themselves. A recent redesign made the whole thing feel closer to a modern social feed, and the search lets you filter by location, looks and interests in real detail. The catch is the price of admission. A free account lets you look around, but almost everything worth doing sits behind a paid membership, and extras are charged on top.
The good
- One of the largest adult communities anywhere, active in most regions
- Far more than profiles: chat rooms, groups, blogs and live member webcams
- Detailed search by location, appearance and interests
- Clean, social-network style interface
- Welcomes singles, couples and swingers alike
The bad
- Very little is usable without paying, and extras cost more
- Fake profiles and automated messages still turn up, especially for new members
- Member-made photos and videos vary a lot in quality
- Past complaints about billing mean you should read the terms before you pay
Conclusion
AdultFriendFinder remains the benchmark for adult dating on sheer size alone, and its mix of community features gives you more ways to meet people than anywhere else. Go in with a clear budget, keep an eye out for fake profiles, and it can deliver. If you only want to browse for free, look elsewhere.
