Lifestyle Lounge is the biggest rip off on the internet. The have all of these fake profiles to lure you in and if you happen to join there is no way to stop the monthly charge to your credit card. when you initially join you have the option of paying by month but once you are a member the disappears and the only way to stop the charges is to change your credit card so they don't have access. this is a typical scam for sites like this and their other sites AFF adult friend finder. do not waste your time with these scammers. Lifestyle lounge is a scam. beware.

yes, we experienced the same issues. Fake profiles (as a couple we were seeking a female and the profiles list a date when the profile was created and you can clearly see the fake person never logged in again) We also noticed a large majority of professional photos and lots that were obviously taken form internet sites. We left Adult Friend finder for the same reason and it appears they are connected and have the same practices and not being able to turn off the auto renew was the last straw. Ture scam artists.

please advise. I am a single female, trying to create an account and the administrator had denied me access due to some error . I am willing to verify my identity and would appreciate some advice on how to contact owners or advocate for myself on this issue.

Lifestylelonge.com (AKA LL) is a great site. The site has been around since 2001 and I can personally tell you that I have met a lot of great people on the site. You also mentioned that the site is full of fake profiles, I do not believe that to be true at all. With that said, there may be some fake profiles on the site (like any other dating site), but I can promise you that the vast majority of profiles are 100% real. If I had to guess, I would say less than 1% of the profiles are fake.

If you want a fake swinger site, go to Adult Friend Finder as you mentioned in your post. I can name a few more for you as well. LL is far from a fake site with fake profiles.

Regarding the comment about stopping the monthly payment, that is not true either. It is very simple and easy to stop payment if you wish to put a hold on recurring payments. There are so many options to stop payment that it is not even funny. I have stopped payment many time over the years and I have never had a problem with doing this.

I have personally met the owners of this site and they are a very nice, sweet, attractive and cool couple. I very seriously doubt they would not stop your recurring payment if you requested this. There are so many people on this site that your $29. per month is not an issue for them.

It sound like you may have not been able to connect with anyone and a little butt hurt.

We have been members of LL (Lifestyle Lounge) since 2003, and the site is legit. I would say that it is by far one of the best sites out their for the swinger community. With that being said, the site has grown since 2003. WIth the growth has come some shady people, but for the most part, I honestly believe it is the best site for real connections.

One of the things you will notice about LL is that they do not have any ads, and they do not have affiliates to promote the site. They do this to keep the quality of members on the site to the highest quality.

Over the years, we have met MANY couples with real connections.

Bitter much? We love this site. Met the owners in Jamaica and this complaint is without merit. Sorry you are angry but why try to tear down a place where the lifestyle community gets together? We need to support anything that supports us. There is way too many haters of the lifestyle already. Cmon people we are all in this together.

We have been on LL for 3 years now and have meet lots of real people in the LA area. Some people need to get real... Not every user is honest so weed out the bad ones. Look for active members and contact them. But be realistic this is all about looks first and foremost... It is not a dating site... And it's not for Vanilla's! As for unicorns (single females) they are actually real but you will rarely find one except in the wild (at a party (with the security of other people around)). So get out from in front of your computer once and while and go to a party. There are always plenty of them listed on LL... Have fun we do!

This is by far the best lifestyle site on the Internet. Bar none!

As far as the complaints about not being able to turn off your auto-renew, they clearly include instructions and a link in your billing confirmation to turn off your auto-renew at any time. Your account settings page also shows your current billing plan and status with a link to cancel billing yourself again at any time.

The complaints about photos being stolen are humorous. Anyone should know that ANYTHING you put on the Internet can be stolen. If you can't risk being exposed as a swinger, then don't post pictures of yourself on the Internet. Think before you post anything.

No other site comes close to the features, world travel opportunities, and great members. And the 100% Real Seal is a feature they have to help you validate that a couple is a couple, and a single female is a single female. They do a very good job of making sure that members are who they say they are.

We love the Lifestyle Lounge!

On the other hand, I have met all sorts of great couples on Lifestyle Lounge. Some of the profiles are old and they are not retired, but I don't believe that any are faked. There is a feature that most on the site use that is called "certified real". Someone already a member and certified real needs to meet both parties and will certify that the couple is who they say they are. Saves a lot of bad (or not real) meetings.

We too had a horrible experience. Our photographs were stolen and posted on AFF which is apparently affiliated with this scam site. We heard they site is hacked all of the time. they never gave us a refund either. don't bother.
