Not a happy camper...

Not a happy camper... I hate to vent but this is getting ridiculous. I've had a paid membership with Affairlook and I've rapidly come to the conclusion that Affairlook is a big waste of money. Yeah, I know, ..."Well, DUH!" This is not my first foray with Affairlook. I paid for a membership back in the early 2000's when I was living in Madison, WI and that was a fruitless endeavor as well. But I figured I'd give Affairlook the benefit of the doubt. Madison is a city of only 300,000 (When the University of Wisconsin students are in town)and once you get outside the Madison city limits, the people are sexually repressed and narrow-minded. I figured once I moved back home to Dallas, things would be better. After all, the Dallas area has a population of roughly 7,000,000 so the percentages have to be more in my favor. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of profiles that are originating out of the Dallas. And many of them are are very appealing with their desires. However, when I send them messages, nothing. Well, ok, I have gotten a couple responses. They have usually been "one word" to "one simple sentence" replies. Now, before everyone jumps to conclusions, I have sent well thought out messages that specifically address the details of each profile that I have responded to only to get an "Ooh, that's hot!" reply but nothing in the way of leading me to believe that an actual in-person meeting will take place. I have even attempted to put together a group called North Dallas Recreational Sex and all I've gotten in the way of replies is "Hey, that's a great idea! Get it set up and I'll join". Well, it's set up and waiting for people to join the group. Which leads me to believe that either....A ) The bulk of the people on Affairlook are an "All talk, no action" lot that will say anything from the safety of their computer but don't actually set foot outside of their house to make these things happen. Or..B ) The bulk of the "profiles" are generated by Affairlook to give people the impression that there are plenty of like-minded people in their area in an effort to induce people to pay for memberships. There is actually more credence to theory B because of the 51 "flirts" my profile has received in the past 30 days, 42 of them show that the profile has been "turned off" or "inactive". Another 6 are from profiles that show to be more than 200 miles away from me (Including 3 that are more than 2000 miles from me) That doesn't do me any good. Only 3 of the 51 "flirts" have been from someone accessible that is within 20 miles of my location. Yes, I have contacted 2 of the three "flirts" (The third one in no way resembled having any common interest with me.) Nonetheless, it has become quite a frustrating adventure. Being a single male, swinger groups and couples are not very accommodating to me. Compounding my woes is the fact that I have just moved back to the Dallas area within the past year and I'm still trying to figure out where a single male can find people to play with. Especially since none of the websites (Not just Affairlook) seem to be very credible in delivering upon their advertised promises. Once again, I apologize for the rant but I just had to let off some steam since no one from Affairlook seems to be effectively assisting me with my needs. |

Without a doubt, I'm sure the women here get all kinds of responses from men and a great deal of them would likely make one roll their eyes and think, "Really?".... Like you, I have a life as well so I'm not real patient with the back and forth BS that a lot of people favor. In fact, I see Affairlook as more of an "icebreaker" more than anything. With sex being the topic, we can get an initial impression based upon our sexual interests. And if all works well, we meet someone that we can experience out interests with. My issue is with Affairlook making guarantees and taking people's money and then not only failing to deliver on their promises but creating phony profiles to lend the impression that there are more "women" in their system than in reality. I don't think expecting a 10% tangibility rate is too much to expect but I'd settle for physically seeing 1% of the "alleged Dallas-area women" in Affairlook's system. I am a very "tangible" person. I will always prefer an in-person at a public place. I didn't earn a degree in Communication Arts so I can hunker down behind a computer and hide from the world. As a result, I don't mess with technological "advancements". When I see or hear the word "web-cam" I think spammer. People that can't step away from their "devices" long enough to carry on a face-to-face conversation with someone else tend to lack the authenticity of human decency to begin with. The more people shy away from face-to-face interaction, the more they're likely hiding something. All that being said, I guess the onus of authenticity rests upon Affairlook and their "customers". I can vouch for my "authenticity" and so can anyone else...I'm not a hard person to find. You can go just about anywhere in the "Lake Highlands/White Rock Lake area of East Dallas and someone knows who "Truman" is. All it takes is leaving the house.
