#1 ALT.com is a complete and
Melissa on 06/26/2007
ALT.com is a complete and utter waste of time. In the 5+ years I have been there, I have met very, very few people of quality. As well, the site is often slow or out and out broken. It's obvious the technology that runs it is antique and poorly done. Their domain name and pay for referrals programs are what keeps them in business.
It sure as heck isn't their customer service.
What I have met are quite a few people I can only characterize as disturbed. I've encountered a lot of flakes, fakes, wannabes, phonies and out-and-out liars.
The site touts itself as a "BDSM and Alternative Lifestyles Personals" site. The place is crawling with cross-dressers who are about was wanted as bubonic plague by either submissive or Dominant men and women.
Their staff lie through their teeth. They have no understanding of their market nor do they want to. All they want to do is milk the cash cow dry.
Many in the BDSM circle I travel call it, "Cross Dresser Central," and "Fakers Anaonymous." If all you want to do is j/o at your keyboard, this site is as good as any.
Keep your money. They're not worth a penny. They're over-rated and overpriced.
#2 Alt.com is a great community
Jason on 06/28/2007
Alt.com is a great community of like-minded people such as myself. :)
The people there share common fantasies and try to hook-up with other people in order to explore these kinky dreams and live their fantasy.
Alt.com is a one off website that is inclusive, instead of exclusive. That's why I love them. XXX
#3 Dreary site. Wanted to meet
Pye on 09/15/2007
Dreary site. Wanted to meet single real submissive men for ownership and some healthy slap and tickle (he'd tickle me and I'd slap him lol).
Full of married men wanting to cyber while wife's out of town or in bed or whatever.
And OH MY GOD! I've never seen so many fakes, flakes and friggin' transvestites in my friggin' life! I took a membership for six months. Know how many real men I met? Zippo! That's how many!
ALT.com will not get another red penny out of me. They're idiots, the number of profiles are inflated, and I didn't meet a single man worth a darn!
Go elsewhere! Run! Hurry!

Rudolph on 09/16/2007
I signed up there to blog and perhaps to correspond with one or two similarly wacked out persons. The community is fine, there is a mix of predators - males masquerading as females, and the like - and some genuine wothwhile people. Alt's layout is fine tuned to force you to pay money, or go nuts. Well, they have to stay in business.
Problem is, my interest is blogging, and the response time for blogs, which is minutes per click, would be unacceptable for a paying site, let alone for something I paid for. You have to log on four times, and have four mozilla tabs grinding away on different tasks, in the hope that one of them will complete at some future time without an error.
Do they really think I'll pay to renew for this non-service when my current subscription is up? Not too likely the way things are going.
#5 Save your money. The site
Harold on 09/26/2007
Save your money. The site isn't worth your time. Took a membership for three months. Know what I got? Nothin'!
And before you say I'm a fat hairy guy who secretly wears his girlfriend's panties (and there are plenty of those to be found), let me tell you. I'm 30, 6 ft., 190, trim, with a swimmer's build. I posted a face pic on my profile. I'm a switch. Friends tell me I'm a catch.
I wanted to find kinky women to have some fun with. I found 'em all right. And they'd play with me for a "tribute." Or they were gold diggers.
I gave up on this site. Save your money. They're a waste of time.

#7 alt.com
cassie on 10/26/2010
Well I joined this site to find like minded people. What I found instead was a joke. The site itself cannot be blamed for fakes and losers, so I don't hold lack of quality playmates against them. However they are milking you for every penny they can with no real results to show for it. Perhaps some real quality control might improve the site for those real bdsm people out there I suggest finding a local munch instead of alt.com
#8 Terrible
Anonymous on 07/19/2011
An awful site. Complete waste of time and money.
#9 Rip off
Spiritualist on 09/24/2011
I rejoined Alt because a few years back I met two wonderful subs via the site, the problem I have now is that I am certain there are as many non existent profiles as there are genuine. The reason I am saying this is because both of my ladies left the site yet their profiles are still there word for word only now 'owned' by somebody registering as half their ages. I am convinced that this site has become a total rip off and would recommend people to avoid it as they take your money and give nothing in return.
#10 is there an alternative to alt.com?
interested in the midwest on 10/24/2011
Does anyone know of a good alternative to Alt.com?
i'm a member at Alt.com now, but very short term. Here it is 4 years and 4 months after Melissa's message and things seems to be the same. Very slow. When I try to use the voicemail feature i can't even do a simple replay of the message i've recorded to hear it before sending. The feature is offered, but doesn't work. My computer is recent enough that this shouldn't be a problem. I think there are some non-pro, non-camsite women on there but still I'm wondering if there's a site out there which has better mechanics and therefore a hopefully bigger customer base. And better customer service wouldn't be bad. I have found some of the cr people to be helpful, but others to be really terrible, either because of attitude or language barrier.
#11 Alternative
MrSpanky87 on 11/19/2011
So we've established that alt.com leaves much to be desired...I've never used the site before...but seeing as how I'm the most genuine sub in the world and I'm about to start actively searching for a D who will allow me to make her happy...where else can I find this person except Alt.com?
#12 Too expensive
Amsterdammed on 01/15/2012
All of the above complaints could be true of any Internet site particularly those which are global by nature . I was a member for years looking for male doms . The fact the I only manged two live encounters one of which was 250 km from where I live shows that such a global site cannot deliver if live encounters are what you are after. I would advise joining a site active in your own area. Having said all this I personally find ALT very horny and great for webcam contact. I am , however, totally opposed to the practice of automatic renewal and the cost of ALT , even the most favorable of deals, is ridiculously high ........a good alternative is " collarme" on which I immediately found a suitable contact .
