Be VERY cautious They lure you in with fake profiles, then once you’ve paid they claim that they have not received the payment, end of story. Don’t touch them with a barge pole

Terrible site with 90% fake profiles controlled by bot. Most women appear to be university educated with and MSc working in HR.

It's a farce and a sham. I have reported the matter to my bank as this is sham. They have deliberately mislead their audience.

Stay well clear and do pay their extortionate fees.

I was attracted to this site as an alternative to the others which are more blatant about arrangements of a financial nature. Not surprised to find a lot of auto-generated messages, virtual gifts etc. to encourage me to fork out for a very expensive subscription but thought - why not?

What a shame! The forum is a joke, the majority of profiles are auto-generated, or staffed by people pretending to be real women looking for a discrete affair and worse than that, the owners clearly don't give a $ about people who are on there to offer you 3 hours in London for £500, or a contract in exchange for £150 or worse still tempt you to purchase things from a "friend" in order to make a meeting 'go well'.

Although I checked before subscribing, the response I got back bore no resemblance to the truth.

Avoid even signing up for free.

I used IE for a few months after lockdown, but gave up after spending over £500, and only managing two coffee dates.

For me personally, I think geography was my biggest barrier, as I live in Cumbria, which has so few ladies active on the site locally. If you live in London, Birmingham or Manchester, I'm sure you will have more value for money than I did.

The fact the ladies can use the site completely free of charge at all times, is quite frankly, wholly unfair. What's worse is, any mention of guys having to pay is auto-deleted by the site, so the ladies don't know how much it costs to be a guy in there, and because there's no charge for the ladies, they have no incentive to make any effort....

Overall; just not worth the money.

I have been blessed, and I had met a few nice men during my first try with the website. Let's see how it will work this year. I have posted genuine photos, etc.

There is lots of married, relationship stuck in ... people, who prefer to keep the family going, not divorcing or separating, fair play, even foreigners, and not everybody is gold digger..., especially London is very cosmopolitan city

Bear the above in your mind, please, do not expect miracle, just keep trying, there is always somebody for everybody, as they say in English language as far as I know:) Sincerely meaning.

Apparently when you sign up there is a chance to prevent auto- renew hidden away somewhere. Well I have been a member before so no their tricks and never saw this. And neither did countless other male members

Miss this at your peril as they will take a further £100 and then refuse to refund you. There is no way of turning off auto renewal so you are stuck with them until you realise and write to ‘customer services’

Also loads of fake profiles which send you cheesy one liners with hot profile photos which are clearly bots.

Sign up at your peril. Avoid like the plague

I’ve been in an unfulfilled marriage for a few years. I needed a connection with another man to deal with my frustrations. I met one guy the first night I joined, I was naive and too open and got totally played after a one night stand. I learned a lot of lessons from that, I didn’t let it put me off and went back onto IE and got chatting to a few more guys. I’m now involved with a very hot sexy guy and could not have wished for a better outcome! It is easy to chat and connect with like minded men, knowing you are on the same page from the start.. we all know exactly why we are there! It has made me very happy, and my confidence and self esteem is restored. We live in a modern world, and this is the perfect way to cope with a disappointing marriage where children are involved. What’s missing from my marriage, I have found elsewhere... and it is the best sex ever! Tips... use a separate email address for message notifications and hotel bookings. Access it through google, not an app that keeps you logged in. Have fun ladies, but stay safe!

This site runs bogus female profiles to keep male customers hooked in, it also manipulated its client list to ensure makes always pay for this service while females don’t.

It has now introduced an auto-renewal feature to catch users out, so even though you think your only purchasing a 4 or 6 weeks special access package unless you turn off the auto renewal at the bottom of the page they will keep on charging you .

DONT USE THIS SITE

As ever it seems only the males have to pay on this site in the days when equality is supposed to rule then females should equally pay a fee making it fairer and less expensive for Males. The excuse that the site needs to keep its female database high is no excuse . If females wish to be on this site they should be paying too. The site says which females are online and quotes a figure but the listings show the same female nicknames 2 or 3 times on different pages as one scrolls through so the actual figures are less.There seems to be a lot of females using more than one nickname which also distorts the numbers so if females also had to pay that may discourage that practice. I am not so sure that every female profile is genuine more of a "professional" business advertisement.

Sadly IE has become something of an open season for gold diggers. This time I had several approaches, that became outright requests for money, long before any meetings were arranged or any suggestions of sex.

The old stalwarts are still there years later with the same profiles, dreaming about finding mr right. For them it's the last chance before they become the bag lady.

The few I met,and didn't continue with, are disasters. Their husbands are wise to have as little as possible to do with them.

For the cost and kerfuffle it's really no longer worth a punt.
