It's because of spammers and people screwing around that fearmongers like that nasty lady nancy grace on CNN make people think that dating online is a meat market. Now I already hate Nancy as she is CNN's answer to Dr. Laura of the law profession. She constantly makes it out that you are guilty until proven innocent (unless you are a chum of hers ugh) - and is about as knowledgeable in law as Dr. Phil is in psychiatry. I.E. not a bit.
Adultfriendfinder got me my Lori (and yes she is back by my side - tenuously but there LOL) and many find happiness there. Just don't let them come here and smear both adultfriendfinder and our site simulteneously. Please report them. They are like trolls only they definitely get paid to harm us.

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM-PAM-PAM PAMMITY SPAM!
WOO HOO!!!!!

It's not a cover for escorts btw. They get reported and booted off. That's what this spam is - an advertisement and they are soon to be booted.
I've tried adult friend finder myself - and dated a few women on there. Not a bad place - but always there are bad people going to exploit something that can be used to prey on the sad and lonely around us.
Yeah it is a legit singles ad business.
