More reasonably priced than other similar sites (ie: grindr). The number of scammers is RIDICULOUS! The site does give you the option to verify (let others know you're real) and you can set your filter to only show verified members, but then there goes all the closet cases. Also, they allow members to set their location anywhere you want. Thanks for helping the scammers out!

I haven't experienced the multitude of fake profiles others have.
I haven't experienced the multitude of fake profiles people are describing. I'm in a smaller town, so over time, you kinda get to know who everyone is. Not personally and perhaps not to talk to, but they are "regulars". I typically take a long time talking before I'll meet someone, so that weeds out a lot of people. I workout a lot, and I'm just not giving up all my work to just anyone. They don't have to be pretty, but they must be decent, fit and true to their profiles, for the most part. Those who won't share photos, don't get talked to, and I say that in my profile.
I used Adam 10 years ago and it hasn't changed much. It's still super simplistic almost to a cartoonish nature. The colors are boring, the site unexciting to view and basically no creativity in the IT department. But aside from any negatives, the site is free if you don't want to pay for upgrades. The one negative that costs the 4th star is that they allow more than one profile. What? Yep, you can be more than one person on there and that is just crazy and blatantly deceptive. What would the reason for that be? Why would anyone need more than one profile? Oh I see, to pay money to deceive other members. Not only that, you can use two profiles online at the same time. I know all this because one of the dudes I screw has two profiles.
I've met a number of guys, had sex with most of them and while only a few became repeats, it did happen. One dude was a regular for a while, till I found he blabbed that we had been hooking up. When people say they are discreet, it's best not to believe that. As soon as they sleep with the next guy, they'll tell him or anyone that wants to listen about you. That however, is not the blame of the site. I also met my workout partner on there. We had sex once, but now we just go to the gym together; really cool!
What is curious is their nude and profile text policies. You can't use 4 letter words without them being censored on the phone app. That is not the case for the .com site. Same with your main profile photo on the app, it must be G rated, but not the one for the website. The reason is the App Store. Once they went to that, the censoring started. It doesn't matter that the site shows you XXX material, men screwing, blowing and ejaculating with each other, but don't you try to do that. They can show you all the shafts, balls and ass you can handle, but you can't. This is a sex site, mind you. You can have X photos as secondary photos to be fair, but not as hard core as those Adam shows you.
I'm giving it more than 1 star because people don't send me smileys and it is rare that someone has asked for gas money, but it has happened. It's not like I would transfer money to them. I might give them 5 bucks if they show up though; times are hard for some folks. Maybe I just don't go far enough with the type of people that are a scam to get scammed. But I have met guys in person, did get my rocks off many times and for that reason alone, the site deserves some credit. If you get laid only once using the site, you should give it more than 1 star, let's be fair. He might not have been entirely what his profile said, but that's not the site's fault.
So the site has flaws and customer service sucks. I didn't know why I couldn't see censored text or X photos on my laptop and wrote them many times. Each time I got a crazy stupid response like log out and log back in (like I hadn't tried that). Finally one guy gave me the secret; simply to uncheck NSFW way down on the edit profile page, which I had not checked to begin with and did not know was there (it wasn't 10 years ago). It was as though I was the first one who had ever asked that question; it took a month of asking to get the right answer.
Since I don't use this site on my phone, I don't get the ads that seems to annoy everyone who is complaining about them. They are on the website too, but they are to the side mostly and although annoying, they don't just pop up in front of what you are doing.
There is another site I do use on my phone that did those things, but I did pay for that service to remove those ads because the price was much, much less, my physical gratification was much more immediate and more frequent; sometimes nearly immediate. That is worth paying for. If Adam would update their site and app, make it cleaner and easier to navigate, lower their prices and offer decent customer service, I would pay for that service also. I doubt the current owners or management are capable of what is needed to bring this site into this era. It's going to end up like "MySpace" and dwindle away because other sites and apps are so far ahead and are just going to leave Adam in the dust. It has great potential, but just the last 3 years using it proves they either don't care, or simply don't know how to keep up. I should have noticed some change in that amount of time even if it's just color. They just aren't doing anything to improve it.

Site is free but needs more users and less fake Profiles.
I like it that the Site is free , easy to sigh u and not strictly a App which is getting harder to find. The downside is there just are not enough men on this site. I live in a city of 355 thousand 2 million if you throw in neer by towns. Adam4Adam is a major dating/hookup site so you would think there would be more guys on this website if you live in a large to middle sized city or town. I feel the site should invest in a Marketing campaign to attract more users bc. right now there just does not seem to be enough selection of guys. I d notice already spamming does seem to be a issue as well. But as I said before the site is for the most part free to use and not 100% a app like you can use on your computer or phone which is Grate.
