Friend Finder X is not a new name in the adult dating community — it has been active for over two decades and has a controversial reputation among casual sex fans. Some Friend Finder X reviews praise the service for being very helpful in finding hookup partners, while others complain about the high membership fees and the site’s various tricks to make you pay.
With 90 millions of members, even though not all of them are currently active, FriendFinder-X is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the hookup dating world. But is Friend Finder X really worth joining and paying for or should you take your time and money elsewhere? In our FriendFinder x review, we will answer the most important question: is Friend Finder X legit?
How it works
As soon as you launch the FriendFinderX homepage, you can already have a pretty clear idea of what the site is all about and what you can do there. The design of the homepage is rather understated, but we found the rest of the website to be completely not safe for work. Most of the user profile pictures are pretty graphic, which means you need to be cautious when opening the website in public places.
Becoming a Friend Finder X member will take you several minutes. In addition to answering questions about your age, sexual preferences, and location, you will also need to choose your username and write an introduction for your profile. After you complete the questionnaire and confirm your email address, you will be taken to the membership purchasing page. There you will be offered to choose your membership type. And while you can skip this stage, soon you will realize that there is not much you can do as a free member.
FriendFinder-X is not just a place for casual users to find sexual partners with no strings attached. The site also has professional webcam models, whose streams you can watch for an extra payment. Moreover, there are discussion boards, adult videos, contests, guides, stories, and lots of other things that can help you navigate the world of online dating.
We did like the fact that Friend Finder X has a dedicated mobile app. However, it is only available for iOS and does not have good reviews from users. There is also a dedicated mobile version of the website that you can access from Android devices in case you prefer to keep your communication mobile.
Who can you find there?
Like a true adult dating site, FriendFinderX is pretty open about the preferences and tastes of their members. You can sign up not just as an individual, but also as a couple, and you can hookup with both individuals and couples. The site also allows you to search for partners by their sexual preferences and kinks, so no matter how unusual your tastes may be, you still have a pretty good chance to find like-minded users.
There are several ways to discover the members of FriendFinder X. The first one is the search, and this is where we first felt disappointed in the site. The search at Friend Finder X is very limited and only allows you to choose the preferred age, location, and preferences of your potential partners.
You can also look for sexual partners in the many galleries available at FriendFinder-X. The galleries include new members, online members, and hot members. Some of the members have a “Verified” or “Confirmed” badge on their profile photos, which means they have gone through a verification by the site administrators.
Unfortunately, this is where your search stops if you are not a paying member. As a free member, you cannot even open individual profiles of other members, let alone write them a message or engage in other activities.
Prices
By now, you have probably got the idea about Friend Finder X being a paid website. But how much do you need to pay to access the complete website functionality? There is only one type of paid membership available at FriendFinder-X, and it’s a Gold membership. It costs $49.95 per month or $32.95 per month if you opt for a 3-month membership.
And that’s not all! Most features are included in a Gold membership, but one important feature is available as an extra. If you want to be able to contact non-paying members, you will need to pay an additional $38.85 for 3 months. Only then free users will get an opportunity to view your profile and send you a message.
Safety
As always, we pay special attention to the safety in our Friend Finder X review. At first glance, the website seems pretty secure. It has SSL encryption and some helpful tips and guides on how to stay safe during your online dating experience.
However, as soon as we created our test profile at FriendFinder X, we began receiving messages from other members complimenting our profile and offering to get to know each other better. We couldn’t help but feel suspicious about the whole thing because our test profile was almost blank and did not have a profile photo. That is why we believe those messages are written and sent by the website itself in an attempt to make you buy a membership and get back to the users who messaged you.
