Easy to create a profile
Lots of guys messaging you, majority of them pleasant and easy to chat too!
After being on there for a month, I’ve met a great guy and we see each other regular.

Pretty awful experience. Lots of initial chats but the vast majority hardly ever go beyond that and the ones that do are the people no one wants anyway - you soon find that out. The women who are on there for free are just talking to all and sundry.

Also a lot of the profiles are made up and are fictitious. They try to hook you in with messages from these people who don't exist.

This is the second time I've used IE. I would say it's been very successful.

I feel a lot of luck is involved such as who is searching at the same time you are but if you are in decent shape and have a good personality, you stand a good chance at meeting someone!

Was planning to revisit dating after partner died but usual sites tinder etc didn’t appeal - and some sites are over the top!
IE provides a very happy medium and the assistance on offer to construct a profile is excellent.
Found a whole array of possibles and probable friends. The site does come up with the right suggestions tailored to your specifications.
Highly recommend

The subscription model means men pay and women have free accounts. It means there are hundreds of fake accounts of people trying to take your money. Either with a scam or worse bribery once you share photos. Twice ive had a member use my photos to search the internet and find my entire Facebook profile despite using a fake name. They then pasted my real name and wife's name into a chat to show they could contact her if I didn't pay them. Very scary for what is meant to be discreet service.

I joined IE a couple of months ago after reading an article about the platform. After a couple of days finding my way with reaching out to potential connections I engaged in some really fun chats and met up with a few women - initially with no real offline spark, but hen I met my perfect match and although just at the start, will hopefully lead to a long term affair. Thank you IE.

But, to the other men out there, watch for the auto-renewal of their paid service as there is notification prior to the monthly renewal. I tried to cancel on the day of renewal but was too late and IE were not prepared to provide a refund despite no intention of using their service in the upcoming month.

I have had a lot of first dates with very nice men. Some second dates and now I'm dating regularly with one man. Obviously I have had a lot of messages that I could not read ɓecause of time and already chatting with a few at a time. I know this can be hard for the male members who join. But they need to have an interesting IE name and an eye catching subject to their initial messages to get women to pick theirs to read, and then want to reply.

I also really like the Flirt Forum. I read comments and sometimes initiate contact when I see sensible or funny comments.

All in all, this is my 3rd time on the site. I would recommend it to other women who want a certain kind of friendship with an IE.

You get out what you put in. If all that you want is a guaranteed quickie then this isn’t the site for you. But if you want to have a lasting affair, and if you’re prepared to put in the effort, then you will find a lot of other people who want the same. Top tip? Engage on the forums. Apart from anything else, you can be sure that the people on the forum are real - and you don’t even need to pay to engage with others in a similar position, looking for similar things, to you.
If you’re prepared to make an effort then I can’t recommend this site highly enough.

I’ve tried it a few times and this was by far the worst. I’ve had to report several users to get them removed for either trying to get you to log into other sites and unfortunately worse trying to get you either to send them vouchers or one user which was clearly a prostitute targeting for business and asking money for sex.

This website designed to part the unwary from their money. I get frequent messages from 'members' that I am not convinced exist. So many photos are clearly fake, it's not funny.
I specifically put in my profile for local people only. Clearly, their geography is poor. They don't know that London is about 300 miles away from where I live.
Their profiles are clearly all written by the same person.

You generate a male profile...you are absolutely inundated with messages which you have to pay to read. you then sign up and pay and the messages stop immediately. nearly all female profiles are seemingly online all day long...almost nothing about the site feels genuine
Update: having spent many more months on this site than they realise, with different accounts and usernames across different years, my experience has always been the same. I think the vast majority of male users will recognise it. And the number of scam profiles I have reported has been very high. And they know this. Yet deny it. And how’s that for a professional response from them! 😂

absolute sham site, minimal to no replies from 40 odd messages sent, then as soon as you end your subscription, as if by magic the emails begin trickling in lol
the only messages you'll receive will be from scammers after money.... don't bother with this scammy joint

To be fair for men it's not cheap but there are a lot women on there. Not come across prostitution, and there are scammers on there who will blackmail you if you give them too much info, but there are a lot of genuine women on there, looking for a relationship rather than a quick shag. Yes you do have to work at it gents, sending out 30 messages you may get 1 reply.
It's the best of a bad lot in my opinion.
If you're after quick sex, go to a brothel. Majority of these women are in a stale relationship and they need excitement and something in addition to just sex.

I previously left a review for this site but in the main it was based on them not taking the offenders (really inappropriate and misogynistic) off the site. I'm not going to retract that as I have just had another experience and said man is still floating on the site! However I did start to read other reviews and whilst I cannot comment on the payment side of things being a woman I felt compelled to write about and review my own personal IE experience.

I have been on/off IE since 2006 and have a couple of really successful long term affairs in that time. It is fair to say that I have had over 100 dates in that time and spoken to hundreds more! Therefore I feel qualified to give an opinion on the men who write about being unsuccessful and then blaming the site!

The men who never get anywhere (unless you want a super quick shag when passing) are those who send copy and pasted 'efforts' to all and sundry. Those who are barely capable of writing more than 2 words. Those who want to enter into a sexual conversation. Those who spread themselves too thin that they're almost skeletal and finally those who are too pushy.

I've had men ask me out for a date after 2 messages. Well, IE would be a full time occupation if I said yes to those!

There have been many IE success stories. I know because I am one, but not only that I've heard countless stories during my time on here from men who have had fantastic experiences and long term affairs if that's what you're seeking.

The disgruntled men need to take a good hard look at themselves because unfortunately therein lies the rot.

This is a genuine review from a genuine woman who has no affiliation to IE.

On a lasting note I almost died from laughing when I read one review which said that the site was full of 50 something saggy women. Happen that there are many men (a lot younger too!) that quite happen to like! Each to their own and all of that! Personally I feel that some of these men would be a lot better off spending their hard earned cash in the local massage parlour where communication is at an all time zero...

Total scam website. They take you money and use bots to chat to you. You will never meet a genuine match on this website.

Been using IE on and off for a few years. It's hard work but with persistence you can find genuine people. I've had about a dozen or so meetings in my years of using the site. Some of those are just one meeting and some have gone on much further. For us men, you have to work very hard, continuous messaging. And being able to cope with rejection as well as being ghosted. It's infuriating at times, but exciting when you find somebody who wants to meet up. Sifting through profiles is exhaustive, and the site doesn't help, as search filters could be better in my opinion.

Total scam and waste of time. Only chatters and no meeters. AI bots and probably fat blokes in India only asking questions about you and never answering your questions, also never wanting to meet.

Messaged about 50 women, all the same.

Full of scam profiles and profiles that are online all day every day...some across years. As soon as you sign up you will be peppered with contacts and these will, mysteriously, disappear about 48 hrs later. The whole thing feels very scam like

As with so many Adult dating sites, this one is best avoided imo.

Within minutes of signing up, you'll get bombarded with invitations for sex. The vast majority of these 'people' don't exist, of course. They are (I suspect) generated by the site to get your interest and (of course) money.

The majority of the 'real' women on offer are prostitutes. Now, I've no problem with this as such, but it's the dishonesty that gets me. Maybe there's some 'genuine' people on here, but finding them is like trying to find a grain of sand in the desert.

I’ve used this site several times over the years – it used to be much better (3-stars), now it’s just bad for many reasons:

Fake profiles run by IE – profiles with ‘boob-ish’ pictures that randomly mail as soon as you sign-on when you’re an unpaid member. Pay your subscription and they all mysteriously disappear. I also suspect that some members that you may correspond with are also on the IE payroll (then become ghosts when it’s time to renew).

Limited search and filters – despite lots of profile criteria, you can only search on county and age. Some counties can take 2 hours to drive across and there is no filter for those looking for same age – this makes it look like there are lots more potentials available than there really are.

Monthly charging model – after a week you have probably attempted to contact every female in your area, possibly met someone – so what’s the point of being there? (also be careful you don’t get caught by their sneaky 'cheaper' 3 month offer when you subscribe, I did and they wouldn’t refund me)

Profile builder, for those that can’t bothered to write one, is just pathetically laughable – blank profiles would be preferable (or just force members to write one)

Flirt Forum… basically an old style internet forum with really old content.

The whole thing just feels tired – basically a small-ads page with a mailbox – no location search, no chat function, nothing that makes you think ‘ooh that’s good’.

I would challenge the claimed gender split - the numbers don't seem that equal, females claim to receive high volumes of messages. Many have been on there years, many use it for social networking rather than dating.

But this is married-dating, no-one really cares or has any sympathy for marrieds looking for extra (who are you going to complain to?). AM is also rubbish but it’s preferable to IE – to cost is more manageable and the UI / UX is better.

I cancelled my subscription significantly before it was due, it's a waste of my time. I will never use this site again.
