8 Facts About Adult Dating Sites

For some they’re familiar territory, for others they represent unchartered waters, either way, adult dating

sites are all the rage in this day and age. Vastly different from social networking sites, these sites consist of people who are specifically seeking relationships and/or some sort of sexual contact. That being said, if you are considering joining an adult dating site, there are a few things you need to know.

1. Adult dating sites are fairly new in the world of dating- Beginning on the mid 90’s, it was a slow evolution from chat lines and other forms of casual dating, to the adult dating sites that are so popular today.
2. Most subscribers are seeking casual flings-  While you will occasionally come across someone who is seeking a relationship on an adult dating site, most join such sites to find someone to have casual sex with. If this is not you, you’d be wise to join a general dating site or to not take offense.
3. “Adult chat” may be code for cyber sex- Many of these websites also have their own “adult chat” app. While this is certainly a fun way to get to know someone, don’t be surprised if you end up getting an eye full from the very beginning.
4. Adult dating sites offer both free and paid services- Some sites have fees, offering trial periods or access only to certain services without a paid subscription.
5. You’ll likely have to take a test- In order to join most dating sites, there is a preliminary test that consists of various questions that are supposed to help with matching.
6. Anonymous browsing- To relieve pressure, many sites allow users to browse anonymously. This can be comforting or nervewracking depending on which side of the fence you’re on.
7. Prepare to be rated-  Most sites allow your pictures to be rated so pick a good one or prepare to be destroyed.
8. Chances vary- Some sites have a much higher success rate than others. Be sure to look into it before signing up.
