Free Dating Avis 

Just avoid. Having checked many dating sites there is the whole fake profile thing and you are on the site for a while and get messaged by someone who just happens to be offline when you find the message. This site certainly has a lot of bots on it, with random jumbles of letters and not much else. The moderator Dan is a pretty obnoxious character who spies on private messages and has not really developed a basic style of customer service skills. Apparently he is supposed to be against dating fraud, when the reality is he is just muddying the waters.
Well I had at least the mild entertainment of why online dating sites are so bad - stil I did miss having an insane woman talking about how she likes Breaking bad and her boyfried had been cheating on her and wanted revenge : which something you need when you have just spent a couple of hours on Windows Vista wallowing in the nostalga of 2007.

The same as other free sites, some guys just want one night stands, some want to move in within a week, others are rude, the seemingly normal ones ghost you.
Might as well spend money on a good site or spend it doing stuff you enjoy, more chance of meeting genuine guys/ladies!

Pros....free
Cons.......numerous fake profiles, trolls with multiple profiles in forums, sex pests, granny grabbers, moderator as useful as a chocolate teapot.
Sad that a good site has been allowed to decline so much.

Nothing useful to be seen/had here please move along. Mouthpiece for Match.com.

This website is the worst dating website. The men just want sex they are not interested in dating. Within 24 hours of creating a profile I was messaged by men from all over the country incl Scotland, Northern Ireland. I'm in Northamptonshire. I put in a 25 mile radius.
The ages ranged from 20/30/40! My age is 68 so I put in 60-70.
I was even contacted by a cross dresser, and when I replied I wasn't interested told me we could have had great sex.
Freedating need to put controls on their website to comply with the user's parameters.

If you want to be stalked then this is the site for you one bloke messaged me using multiple profiles I blocked him on all of them and he was not prevented from contacting me again. Also the site is good if you are wanting to be used for one night stands or a visa but no way for proper relationships

I haven't really got much to add that's not already been said. I joined freedating not really knowing what expectations to have. my account was active for about 2 days and uploaded to photos for approval both portrait and one shirtless in jeans being a man and being summer. I instantly have my account suspended, i emailed for reason the shirtless picture asked nicely if I could have the account reactivated I was told no. Dan Winchester I hope you're reading some of these reviews

Less than one star. Minus zero if I had the ultimate vote! Completely freedating is antiquated but at least it doesn't kick you off for no reason.

If I could not add a star I wouldn't.
Its the biggest joke of a date site ,
Desperate guys galore , no manners , no real names, age , photo ..catfish alert
Scams and God knows what else .wants shutting down
Don't bother go to pub and meet a guy its safer

I've been using freedating on and off for years and to be honest it works for me, more than pof ever did. I've met about 3 woman over the site who, it has to be said were a bit nuts but you get what you pay for and as this site costs nothing and offers an olive branch of sorts, who can complain? As for having my account being shut down, that's never happened to me and I've written some crazy stuff during my time...so be cool, have fun and you never know you might meet the perfect nutter for you.

Yes I found it better than the other agencies
In my experience what let it down was the other users
I would say less than 10% would respond in a reasonably manner
Obviously not the company's fault but does need to be improved

Apparently, it's a time-waster with bunch of fake profiles and bots. Messages are being monitored and modified. 8 out 11 accounts I communicated with were banned. Freedating is very unreliable compared to the other sites. I think it's created for baiting people into buying a premium membership. But the problem is they have very suspicious and questionable profiles. You waste your time there and nothing happens for months.

Crappy site. Suspending profiles without warning or announcement, reason being marital status. Shocking

Have been on the site around 1 month. (if I find anything negative I'll come back and edit this review)

So far the site is fine. I've had some chats with some genuine ladies and they're nice normal people.

I've not had any ads. The email address and password I use for free dating sites is completely different to my personal ones.

You have to accept that with free dating sites not everyone on there is 100% genuine or honest. Many people on free dating sites are just bored and want a bit of a chat and laugh and some flirting, and don't end up meeting up - Guys are guilty of this too sometimes, from what I've read on ladies profiles.

The site seems as honest & genuine as any other free dating site, and it is 100% free. They are somehow linked with Match.com (reputable company) because there is a link straight to Match on the desktop page constantly.

UPDATE: Have chatted to quite a few ladies are they're all nice and normal. No scammers or anyone trying anything funny.

You constantly get contacted by girls using English places and are in fact abroad and give you email addresses to contact them by and account is then deleted. Think the site is run just for membership fees. If you enter some words in messages, you are instantly blocked,so messages are being mointored

Good - It’s free & there are no hidden charges.

Bad - there are a LOT of fake profiles on there but you can spot them a mile off.

1. Either no or just one pic.
2. A bio that doesn’t make much grammatical sense.
3. Messages that are barely readable.

I’ve been on and off there for around 5 years and met my (now ex) partner, we had 3 good years together so there are decent people that use the site.

I’ve been told on a few occasions that a lot of blokes use the site looking for sex. Wasn’t ever my agenda but hey ho, you’re going to get scummy sleaze on any free site.

If you want decent folk pay for Match, you really do get a better Calibre of people.

I have recently joined this dating site and I suspect it is no worse than paid dating sites. Already I have had links to paid dating sites. Yesterday I got a pop up box informing me that I had received what turned out to be a well thought out message from a lady which was a nice surprise and appeared to have credibility although no name or area stated plus a dodgy e-mail address supplied raised suspicions and it did turn out to be very likely sent by someone who just could not resist taking advantage of a vulnerable person. I unusually for this site from what I have been reading on other reviews posted a photo and honest profile of myself but unfortunately some people see that as an opportunity to exploit.

Few days ago and I joined freedating August and 2020 I thought is free first time check it out. It said it take 2 days to approve I waited a week nothing happen. Then I email freedating saying what happened. Next day I see I been suspended. Only reason I can see my name is Khan and am a guy. Pure racist this Dan. I just read views on this nasty greaser. Man's a women user a pervert stay away from this filth a man call dirty dan

Used it years ago still absolute pony!
I used it Id say around 13 years ago, I didnt find anyone. I ventured into the forums it was full of old people and I wasnt welcomed it seems (I was 21 then) so for a young lad like me it wasnt really what I was looking for. I tried to see who was round my area and there just didnt seem to be much doing and I never got any replies. I did meet one girl off it in the end which turned out to be a total psycho and still chirps up on facebook now and then under different profiles! I got fed up with it. I tried it again in around 2015 and again it just didnt work out for me, I was thinking of trying again but no way am I now after looking at the reviews. Also you have to give more info away and Im not doing that. This 'Dan' character sounds like a moron so I wont bother.

Made a profile. After 2 weeks of not verifying profile I sent an email asking when it could be completed only to have it banned for no reason. This dating site is a complete joke. Plus it filled my web browser with so many adverts and viruses alerts I wouldn't go back to try again. I read some of these 5 star reviews and they are clearly BS probably made by the one man who runs it.
