The adult side of the dating industry has always been a topic for discussion. Some people love them, others loath them, some even fear them. They have people talking about morality and social fibre. They are guaranteed to create a debate.
I'm not interested in judging people. I am open minded enough to know that people like these sites, so they obviously provide a valuable service to some. Instead of judging, I'd rather take the position of advising you of some of the pros, cons, risks and rewards associated with this category of dating site, so you can be better prepared if you decide adult dating is for you.
There are many dangers with adult dating sites. The dangers these sites pose to men tend to be different to women, so we have split these up and summarised them below:
The dangers a woman faces from these sites are dangers to her "person". These sites tend primarily to emphasise open sexuality in dating and therefore there is an expectation that a date will quickly escalate into a sexual encounter. Obviously problems can quickly arise where the expectations of a date differ between the participants.
So if you are a woman, never put yourself in a position of vulnerability until you are 100% sure the person you've met has your interests in mind too. Treat all first time meetings as a blind date. Always put safety first.
Only progress things with partners when you trust them enough to believe they will look after you too. Remember all those profiles at the dating site. If you do not trust this person, don't expose yourself to a potentially bad situation. Just go back to the site and find someone else.
The biggest threats to men on these sites are not dangers to their person, rather dangers to their wallet. Adult dating sites are packed with scammers and unfortunately, most (but not all) of them are pretty women. They are exactly the type of women you wanted to meet on the site.
For example there are women who send you their phone number which, funnily enough is a 1900 number. No-one has a 1900 number as their personal number so I don't know why men fall for this. Anyway, you call the girl, she encourages you to chat for hours, you get hit with a monstrous phone bill of which she gets a big cut. Thats how 1900 numbers work. Don't call them!
Another breed gets you to join their personal website so you can view her on the webcam. The webcam is pay per view so every time you talk with her, you pay. Once again, she'll never meet you in real life. Why would she? She'll stop getting paid if she does.
Then there are the mail order scammers. The good looking girls looking for a western husband to save them. These girls will fleece you for everything you have. If you are looking for an international introduction, use professionals in that industry. They'll protect you from scammers to some degree. An adult dating site is not the place to find such women.
As a man, the best thing you can do to avoid these traps is simply remember why you joined the site. You want to meet some potential partners for some adult real life fun. As soon as a potential partner leads you away from this, move onto the next person. There are millions of profiles at these sites after all.
If you can avoid the pitfalls lurking around adult dating sites, the rewards can be great. Its the same for both men and women in this regard. You can end up getting exactly what you want, when you want it. On top of this, you can have it with the person you intended.
