Real or Fake?

Cougars.fm looks pretty convincing, with a simple home page and a preview of user profiles. The site promises a way to meet both more experienced women and people who love them. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t deliver on the promise. The vast majority of profiles look entirely fake and users start getting messages from them as soon as they create an account. This is a tactic many fake dating sites use to seem more legitimate. Additionally, the site is very good at hiding the important parts of their terms of service, which is almost always a sure sign of a scam. To put it simply – even though the site advertises a large member pool, these users are nowhere to be found, and you should keep searching for a real dating site.

Free vs Paid

Cougars.fm insists on a 100% free subscription. Technically, this is false advertisement, as only the signup process is free. After that, you will have the possibility to send 8 messages for free, and then decide whether the site is for you. When it comes to features, they are pretty basic and standard. One of the bigger problems users have faced with the site is the fact that membership is automatically renewed if not canceled in due time. In other words, most users have been charged a fee for a plan they haven‘t purchased, and then had trouble canceling it altogether.
