Disappointing experience over 18 months

I've been using this platform for just over 18 months. The men on here appear well-educated and attractive, which feels almost too good to be true. It seems like there's a connection between this platform and men from various countries who are professionally accomplished. While I don't communicate with men from Brazil or Latin America, I can understand the frustrations expressed by other users regarding popular members. Many seem disinterested in meeting in person, often making excuses. One man I conversed with for a long time claimed he couldn't take time off work, couldn't share contact information, and was uncertain about meeting. These are significant warning signs. Dating apps should facilitate connections based on shared interests, allowing for in-person meetings after a few weeks. However, here, no one seems willing to meet. It's a waste of money, time, and resources, and I genuinely doubt this platform is meant for those seeking real relationships. It drains your finances without providing anything in return. I have ceased communication with that person and won't invest further. Curiously, a 21-year-old from Venezuela attempted to video call me, claiming to be a featured member. It's surprising that a young person could afford such an expensive service, especially given their criteria for featured status. It feels as if the platform is recruiting individuals to attract women or simply to profit. It's appalling. The site appears to be a significant scam, with featured members potentially in collusion. Regarding the man I've been chatting with for over a year, we've had numerous video calls, yet he never speaks; he claims his microphone is broken. I've repeatedly asked if he speaks English, and he affirms that he does, which raises further suspicion. I suspect these featured members have an arrangement with the platform to prolong interactions with women for profit. Essentially, it's a mutually beneficial setup for them and the platform, while paying members become the unwitting participants. One featured member claimed to be searching for women aged 45 to 60, yet he doesn't even belong to that age group. It's baffling! Those who find themselves trapped here have learned their lesson, and I hope these reviews help others. If you're looking to indulge in a fantasy love life through an app, this might be the right place for you. It should be renamed a Fantasy Dating App. Featured members appear desperate, vying for the attention of the same women, and when ignored, they question why. It's as if their engagement depends on how many women they can connect with and entice to pay.
