pretty much dominates the whole market. Escorts and Sugar Daddy sites. But AM was for suckers who thought they wouldn't have to pay because they found horny housewives who valued discretion as much as they did. The novelty of that was why it had gotten so much press. You're right the percentage of real women on there was almost nil. I'm sure women like that do not need to go online- where shit is always 10X creepier than real life.

What they got instead of women was bots replying to their emails, draining their credits, stringing them along and trying to upsell them to other sites (for more crazy expensive video chats) the AM company owns. Most reviewers report never getting more than short little stock replies from the "women". A few admit it took a full year to meet one or two women. It seems like what they were selling was an illusion that you wouldn't have to "pay for it". I guess that illusion must be very appealing ego wise- or wallet wise? What a perfect scam- what are the chances any of these guys will do anything about it?
