I've been on and off Adultfriendfinder a couple of times. There are some fakes, but there are also some real and nice people on there. It depends on what you are looking for. No problems with priviacy, except your profile will also end up on a number of other sites (passion.com, etc). If you are a guy you would to well to go ahead and spend the money to get a gold membership. Not trying to sound like a commerical or anything, but just do the math. There is a about a four to one ratio of men to women. If women are searching they will have to go through a couple of hundred members before they get to the standard members. The other thing is to be real and be nice. I've talked to a couple of women from AFF and they always say most of the messeges they get are things like "hey baby, want to fuck?". You have to be a little more subtle than that. All in all I'd say it's a good site, but you have to get a gold membership to have a chance, you have to be patient, and realize that the women there are getting hundreds of emails a day (so if someone doesn't get back to you right away, don't get mad).
