Review of Avodate

Do not trust positive reviews

I only signed up to Avodate after reading all the positive reviews on TrustPilot, thinking maybe this is a good site, and I was talking to a woman from Taiwan. Within 10 minutes of sending messages, I was informed by the site that I'd run out of credit, and I was offered a deal for 35 credits for USD 2.99 plus a foreign fee, AUD 0.13, totaling $4.64 in Australian dollars. After 10 messages, I was sent another message by Avodate saying I'd run out of credit. There were many women sending me messages, but I was only talking to one woman from Taiwan. I then went to buy credit, but the site message was to choose a package I found comfortable: 45 credits [USA $19], 85 credits [USA $33], 200 credits [USA $75], 300 credits [USD $99], and 830 credits [USA$199]. I could see where this dating site was going when the first 35 credits I purchased only got me 10 messages, so 45 credits would only get you maybe 15 messages. If you're only talking to one woman and no other, you soon learn the women lead you on until you run out of credits. It all adds up, and the more money these sites want. I've been a member of other dating platforms where you pay for a month, costing me a lot less than what 200 credits would get you on this site, and you can send unlimited messages to any women you want without support messaging you asking for more credit after 10 messages. This site isn't Australian; it's offshore owned, and they're all greedy. So, I deleted my photos from the site and then clicked on 'delete my profile' from Avodate, which took me to their support page. I had no trouble messaging the woman from Taiwan, but deleting my profile was virtually impossible, as they want to know why you want to remove it to improve their site. However, when sending messages to support, most of my messages had red writing underneath saying 'message not sent.' I ended up having to close the support page on my phone at the bottom of my screen, as pushing the back button wouldn't work. I had to close their page completely, then open the website again, going to support, only to be asked the same question about the reason for deleting my account. They told me I would lose any meaningful relationship I'd made on their site, and I only signed up to Avodate in the last 24 hours. 'Meaningful relationships' seriously, after 10 messages? When I asked them again to please remove my profile, I was sent another message saying if I would like to remove my profile, please answer 'yes' or 'no,' but be warned I would lose any close friendship I'd made with anyone I'd been sending messages to. I then typed 'yes, please remove my profile from your site,' but my message said underneath 'message not sent' in red writing. A further message from their support said it would take 7 days before my profile would be deleted; please confirm 'yes' to delete. Again, underlined in red writing underneath my message 'yes' was 'message not sent.' I really like TrustPilot; I come here every time I look for reviews for anything, as the reviews tell me if it's worth signing up or not. But my warning is to anyone who reads this: don't trust positive reviews on Avodate on TrustPilot unless you have plenty of money, as you'll need it on this site, as they're money-hungry.
