FindSomeone Experiences & Opinions New Zealand

Easy enough to sign up.

Strange women. One didn't want to further our relationship because we didn't read the same books (we never met). One made contact then a week later broke off contact because she wanted someone younger (my age is quite clear on my profile). One visited me once, freaked out because I have a dog and then stopped any contact (again, the fact that I have a dog is clearly stated on my profile). Last one visited me a couple of times but thought it was okay to lecture me on various things, including my dog, my garden and the fact that I still have some of my deceased wife's clothes at home. She took a huff when I pointed this out and left immediately. I think it would be a good idea for all the women to ascertain what they really want from the site before they join up. So far my experiences have not been good and have left me with hurt.

Good numbers

Too many scammers and men with very outdated photos.

It's easy to access and use.

It's the same people on there for years and years, players. No one seems serious.

Not much

To many overseas scammers

If people take the time to actually do it, the profiles can be quite comprehensive and informative.

The site can be quite glitchy, especially off your phone. Have encountered about 3 scams, and the Findsomeone administration has contacted me about it. Site ‘crashes’ for long lengths of time

It's not complicated. Most participants are genuine. It's easy to cancel or opt out.

They had a major malfunction a couple of weeks ago and NO communication with members for days. They don't take down members who have been inactive for months. Photos are well vetted but not dated. Some are 10 years old or more.

What I like about FS. That is a good question. Thinking about it there is not really much that I do like about it.

There are a lot of fake profiles. I find it hard to believe that there are so many people with nothing better to do than waste time writing garbage to people they never intended meeting. I got to the stage where I was asking people to post a photo of themselves with something showing the current date and locality to prove they actually existed.

Not a lot. Privacy protection is good

Website is SLOW, SLOW, slow and crashes daily. Almost impossible to sign onto most days. Basically they take your money and run a half-speed service!

In-depth profiles, active message board.

Major problems. Has been virtually inaccessible for over a week. No announcements or response from them about the problems. Message board full of frustrated members saying farewell. A complete joke and a poor reflection on trademe. Closing my account.

Some aspects of it are free such as photos. You can upload 5 free photos.

Majority of males are divorced, have kids and/or ex partner's, or they are out of jail and are generally uneducated anx uncultured. They don't dress properly and lack basic manners that women are expecting from a man.

no customers service at all, no contact phone, no emails reply, terminated paid membership after 2 days of purchase without explanation ( haven't communicated with anybody yet, just browsing) is it a money fraud?

Not a very high turnover of people,many without a profile filled in properly or even a photo. I reckon some parts of the profile should be compulsory, and a photo should be as well. There are people who are gold only members. Honestly, it's time there was a free site - I don't mind the odd advertisement if the site is free.
