Not too long ago, we started seeing pop-under ads for a hookup site called FlirtBuddies

Curious to determine if this was a site worthy of our readership’s time and money, we conducted a full review of the site’s performance. Here’s our FlirtBuddies review.

FlirtBuddies Review Results

There are excellent hookup sites – there are crappy hookup sites. By reading this review it should be easy to conclude where our sentiments rest with FlirtBuddies.

• Easy registration process

• Full of “automated” profiles
• Spams you with automated messages
• Requires a paid membership to respond

When you first visit FlirtBuddies you are greeted by a welcome page. The top portion of the page is dedicated to getting you started on the site’s four-step registration process. They are kind enough to place the image of a beauty with plenty of cleavage in this section just to make sure that you don’t skip over it.

The remainder of the page contains tiled images of supposed members of FlirtBuddies – all of them stunningly beautiful women. As far as first impressions go, they certainly build up expectations. Are they able to fulfill them? Well, let’s read our Flirtbuddies review a little further to find out.

– FlirtBuddies Registration Process –

Registration is fairly simple. You start by indicating whether you are a male seeking females or vice versa. Those are the only two choices available from their drop down menu. You then click on the red “next” button. The second step requires you to select a username for the site. In the third step, you choose a password – with the final step requiring you to enter a valid email address. You receive a verification email within a minute or two. Once you click on the verification link you are able to access FlirtBuddies as a member.

– FlirtBuddies Features –

The features offered on FlirtBuddies are what you would expect from most run of the mill hookup sites – a search function and an internal messaging platform. There is an extra feature that allows members to make contact via SMS text messages. This feature allows you to use your cell phone to exchange messages without releasing your cell phone number. On the surface, you will get the impression that this hookup site might have some real possibilities – Unfortunately, everything falls apart once you spend a few minutes on the site.

– Where FlirtBuddies Goes Wrong –

During our FlirtBuddies review, we started receiving a large number of notifications alerting us that we had incoming messages. Each was from stunningly beautiful women. Unfortunately, all of these were from what the site refers to as “fantasy cuties.” If you read the site’s terms of use, you will discover that these are fantasy profiles and automated messages. In other words – all fake, not flesh and blood.

It’s bad enough that FlirtBuddies uses this type of automated profiles, but when their main purpose is to entice you to respond (which requires a paid membership) that’s just irritating. In case you are curious, a one-month membership costs $, a three-month membership costs $, and a one-year membership will cost you $. If you decide to sign up for the 3-day trial, be aware of the fact that you will be automatically billed for full membership at the end of the trial unless you cancel on time.

(Revisited by team B)

Hookup sites come in varying degrees of quality. Recently we took an in-depth look at FlirtBuddies. The site proclaims itself to be “the #1 hookup site to text, meet and make new friends!!” That’s one hell of a bold claim. We immediately wondered, is it true? Once we got a look at the inside of FlirtBuddies we were shocked by what we found. Read on to discover what you can expect if you join FlirtBuddies.
