When I first found DaddyLover I was very excited to step inside. The site promised a feature video area, a live chat room, a dating site, a mail system and more for a price of only $10.00 a month.
In fact, Standard Membership is free but grants only limited use while upgrading to a Premium Membership is supposed to provide full use of all the site has to offer.
With the Premium Membership I found that I was able to use the chat room and member search features, I was also able to browse the available videos offered on the site but when I tried to download a video the site asked me to upgrade my account.
A premium access membership is $9.99 for 30 days, an all-access video membership is $19.99 for 30 days, and a one-year all access video membership is $99.99.
I went back to access the chat room and after four tries I never found a time when there were more than three people listed in the chat room lobby. Even at different times of the day or night and on different days the chat system seemed nearly empty.
When I entered chat and started speaking I never got a reply from any of the few people that were supposedly in the room so while it’s possible they were busy or away from their keyboards, the experience was definitely less than thrilling.
Next I tested the online dating section of the site. According to the site counter there are 3,355 people listed on the site from all over the world.
The profiles were very basic with about a dozen responses to simple questions like Do You Smoke and a text description that varied anywhere from 1 sentence to a couple of paragraphs.
Each profile had a total of one picture, no video and no sound. Quite honestly it was a watered down version of old time AOL dating type content. Nothing about it made the system stand out or made it particularly fun to use. |
