    Just like YouTube, you'd be surprised as to what Wikipedia has to offer in their database. I once 'tested' Wikipedia by typing in a few semi-frivolous things: Snickers bars, pubic hair, and the hat you see Kid Rock wear on occasion...the 'pork pie hat.' Wikipedia had all three subjects covered.

    When you google something just type in the word 'wikipedia' after your keyword and you just might find what you're looking for on their site. And lets hope we don't ever lose Wikipedia. Someday there might be advertising on their site, and that might be only because they need to cover expenses. For now though they're able to stay afloat without much, if any, advertising.

    if you read the small print it tells you if they are fake or real.... and when you set a ad up you can pick a fake model or real members to display.

    I'm promoting other international dating affiliate programs with much more success than AFF :)

    AFF is for real... kind of. The above statements have a lot of truth. I met some women but I use a system, being an affiliate. I wish I could divulge a few tricks I have learned along the way, but I might get in trouble. But AFF WILL get you laid about 10 times more often than most standard dating sites.

    Like any dating site, it because a target of scammers looking to target its members. Is the site as a whole a scam, I don't think so.

    call it "scam" or whatever you want, but many of the profiles have been created by the site itself.

    if you look at their network sites like indianfriendfinder.com, you will notice that many of the profiles are so similar.

    If a company uses fake profiles it could look like a scam indeed

    They definitely do use bait and switch as far as the pictures on their landing pages go. They are now owned by Penthouse as they were acquired for $ 500 million in 2007.

    They had problems because of the fake profiles

    A few international dating affiliate programs are better anyway

    the above post is true,the site often displays pitures of girls saying they live in your area..but then is some fine print,that does say that they maybe do not live in your area and are for examples only.

    And Brooke Shields is probably not driving a Volkswagen either. It is marketing. Not a scam.

    I have good friend that met his fiancee there.
