The Question
Horny Herbert who wants an electrifying experience with a mature mama: “Hey Frankie. How do I get laid at Over40Only.com?”
Me: “Over40Only.com? Elementary, old chap! It’s a tale for the ages, really. It goes like this… First, get yourself on over to your local liquor establishment. Strut in there and grab yourself a 40 of malt liquor. Lust at first sight, right? Gaze into its eyes. Take in the beautiful golden color. Now gently wrap your hand around the cap and twist. Listen to the whisper as you spin off the lid. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for the experience you’ve been waiting for. Oh man, here it comes. Tip that bottle up to your lips and take a big sip of you fucking don’t!
In other words, trying to get laid at Over40Only is all buildup and no payoff. You might want it to happen. You might think it’s gonna happen. It might even look like it’s gonna happen. But it ain’t gonna happen.
But why, Frankie? What’s wrong with Over40Only.com?
Once again we witness the trifecta of fuckery that is basically standard for scamtastic “dating” sites:
Fake members. Fake profiles. Fake emails.
Peachy.
Tell me more, Frankie.
Hey, while we’re here, why don’t I tell you more!
Here. I’ll get right to the meat of it.
Two words: Online Cupids.
Okay, here’s one more word: bullshit.
And let’s sneak in one more: scam.
But I want details!
And details you shall have!
A little preamble before getting to the actual proof of the con…
Something to always keep in mind when you’re looking at a dating site to join is whether or not the site you’re looking at has your best interests at heart.
That may sound funny—I mean, a dating site is supposed to help you meet someone, not hinder you—but there are so, so, so many more scam dating sites than legitimate ones it’s obscene.
This means before you pull the trigger and join a site, it is imperative that you do a little digging first. Find out if they’re on your side, or just trying to fleece you.
And how, you ask, do you find out if they’re legit or not?
You read the terms and conditions!
It is in the terms and conditions where all the secrets are revealed. Where the truth comes out.
But, here’s the thing about terms and conditions pages:
They’re crazy boring.
They are long, tedious reads. Filled with legal mumbo jumbo and stuff you’ve never thought about even once before in your lifetime.
Nobody actually wants to read the thing, even though, as mentioned, you absolutely should.
Here’s the real kicker…
Shady “dating” sites like Over40Only.com 100% count on the fact that you won’t actually read the terms.
They know for a fact that the majority of people who land on their website are going to just check the “I agree” box and say they read the terms, even though they didn’t.
Thing is, whether you read them or not, you’re legally bound by them if you continue to use their site.
Let that sink in for a sec.
That’s right. Read them or not, by simply using their site, you are effectively saying, “I’m super good with whatever you’re doing. Even if you’re pulling the wool over my eyes on the daily! I don’t care!”
This is why they are comfortable outing themselves and their schemes in the terms. It covers their asses, and they know most people won’t see what they are actually doing.
This means they get away with it day after day, raking in loads of cash from unsuspecting users who think they actually have a shot at hooking up with the people in the profiles that they see on the site.
They get away with it over and over again because they can just say they told you so and you agreed that everything they are doing is a-ok.
It’s deceptive garbage and it sucks.
Now, all that said, let’s have a little look and see and pluck out the gems in Over40Only’s terms. Proof is in the pudding, as they say…
And here we go. Starting in section 9:
9. FOR AMUSEMENT PURPOSES ONLY
Pro tip: If you ever see a dating site that says they are for amusement purposes only, that’s a big red flag. You’re not there to be amused. You’re there to meet a real live human being.
And here’s the beef:
9.b. You understand and accept that our site, while built in the form of a personals service, is an entertainment service. All profiles are provided for the amusement and entertainment of our members and our users. You are not guaranteed that you will find a date, a companion, or an activity partner, or that you will meet any of our members in person.
Moving on (this is the big one)…
9.c. THIS SITE USES FANTASY PROFILES CALLED ONLINE CUPIDS®: You understand, acknowledge, and agree that some of the user profiles posted on this site may be fictitious and operated by the Site or its contractors.
Okay, so here’s thing about their FAKE PROFILES (I’m shouting for emphasis here)…
They say that their FAKE PROFILES are labelled with a logo to let you know that they are FAKE PROFILES. But really, how many people on the site are going to a) notice the logos, or b) even know what they mean?
If you guessed “not many”, I’d say you’re probably right.
Again, this is what they count on.
Let’s keep going…
9.c.i. Messages sent from our Online Cupids® service may be automatically generated with no human involvement, and Online Cupids® messages and/or correspondence may be generated by third-parties hired or contracted by Us.
And not to be outdone…
9.c.ii. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the information, text, and pictures contained in the Online Cupids® service profiles do not pertain to any actual person, but are included for entertainment and educational purposes only. Life events, experiences, interests, and geographic locations are fictitious. Nothing contained in any Online Cupids® service profile or message is intended to describe or resemble any real person – living or dead. Any similarity between Online Cupids® user profile descriptions or images and any person is purely coincidental.
That should paint enough of a picture about what’s going on, but just for fun, here’s another snippet:
9.e. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and the individuals providing our Online Cupids® service, and that the exchange of messages between you and the Online Cupids® profile is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in our site’s services and/or to monitor user activities.
I mean, duh. Of course you’re not going to actually meet a FAKE PROFILE, but it just goes to show you that they absolutely expect that users of the site are going to think they are communicating with real people.
They are fully aware of the scam they’re pulling.
There’s lots more junk on there, if you’re so inclined to go and do some more reading, but I think at this point it’s pretty clear what kind of operation they’re running.
I don’t believe you, Frankie!
Say what now?
Okay, so here’s the thing…
All that stuff you just (hopefully) read? That’s not fictional.
Unlike Over40Only’s profiles!
Ahem… moving on…
For serious though, if you really aren’t grasping what I’m laying down for you, go have another go through on the stuff up this page a little.
All those examples? That nonsense is straight from the horse’s mouth. There is nothing to believe or not believe. They are facts.
And facts, as they say, is facts.
So how the hell am I supposed to get laid?
Sign up to a legit dating site.
Click here and check out the sites I’ve listed. Sign up to one of those sites and you’ll find loads of women who want to get laid. No bullshit attached. No scams.
TL;DR
Over40Only.com? Nope. Scam.
