Is adult friend finder even a legitimate business? I have always been of the opinion that the vast majority of the ads for women are fake in order to get men to sign up. After all, why would a woman post an ad on there when she can just as easily go to, well, anywhere and find a random guy to hook up with?



Does the way people use your product determine if your business is legitimate or not? If you did much IRC back in the day then you know that no such site will need to make fake women accounts to get guys to sign up. There are enough people who get a kick out of pretending to be a girl just to prank guys.


The business masquerades as a way for men to meet women to have sex with. If all of the women are fake accounts made by employees, then I would not consider it to be a legitimate business. In fact, I might go as far as to say it's fraud, much along the same lines that shill bidding on ebay is fraud.


Did you read my comment? They would have to be incredibly stupid to make fake accounts of hot women. Enough men/ugly women would do that for them.


Yea its legit. I know from experience.
