Goldenromances Recensioni 

I paid £12 only to send a few minutes chats and my money was gone. Just mess than 30mins and you took my £12, requesting that I make much more higher payment to continue chatting, that’s poor.

I concur with all the comments about it being a scammer site. I communicated with one profile that after being put off on meeting in person, did my own social media research and found the real guy---who is GAY!!! Reported it to the site and they denied it even after providing proof. Was able to get my money back from my credit card company. BEWARE AND AVOID THIS SITE!!!

Websites zoals GoldenRomances en vergelijkbare platformen zoals StouteDate, werken inderdaad met een verdienmodel waarbij professionele chatoperators (of chat-animatoren) worden betaald om jou zo lang mogelijk aan de praat te houden. Hoewel de websites aan de buitenkant lijken op reguliere datingsites voor mensen die op zoek zijn naar liefde, is de realiteit achter de schermen puur zakelijk.
Hoe dit soort websites werken
Het mechanisme achter deze platforms is heel specifiek ingericht op winstmaximalisatie:
• Betalen per bericht (Credit-systeem): Je betaalt op deze sites meestal niet via een vast maandelijks abonnement, maar met virtuele munten of credits. Elk bericht dat je verstuurt (en soms zelfs het openen van een foto of mail), kost een x-aantal credits.
• Inzet van chatoperators: De profielen waarmee je praat, worden in veel gevallen niet beheerd door de personen op de foto's. In plaats daarvan zit er een netwerk van ingehuurde medewerkers achter (via externe chatbureaus).
• Vergoeding per bericht (De 'fee'): Deze chatoperators krijgen inderdaad een vergoeding (fee) per getypt bericht. Hoe meer berichten zij jou laten sturen, hoe meer credits jij verbruikt, en hoe meer geld de operator én de website verdienen.
• Nooit afspreken: Het doel van de operator is om het gesprek oneindig te rekken. Ze zullen altijd vleiend zijn en interesse tonen, maar een echte ontmoeting of het uitwisselen van telefoonnummers wordt telkens met een smoesje uitgesteld. Als je van de site afgaat, stopt hun inkomstenstroom immers.

Site was 100% fake women they’re always online with generic pictures at all the same poses from the same photographer and avoid the real questions are way too beautiful and not real

Honestly, it seems like the girls are hired by the platform. They always steer the conversations in a direction designed to force the other person to spend more and more credits, and even the dialogues are very similar, as if they're following a script. Sometimes, despite the time difference, they reply immediately. Don't they sleep? Are they AI or bots?

Everyone was right on this format. It’s very expensive and the girls just want you to keep spending money. It’s a rip off!

All the men are AI generated profiles and if someone were actually real, then customer services states you have to spend 5000 coins on that person to get their contact information. 5000 coins is approximately $1000.

Jared understood my problem AND fixed it!!

I literally was on this site for maybe 1.5 hours. I saw everything I needed to see. It’s definitely a money pit. One user of the site stated that he he’s been on the site for years. and stated “at least this is better than gambling.” This, can get one hooked for sure if one believes one will find a romantic connection. That’s pretty comparable to gambling if one truly believes the end goal is to gain something. That dopamine rush can be to ones demise if there is not proper impulse control and stabilized reasoning. . So pretty much, one has to re up for just basic communication. Everything is timed. It doesn’t make any sense. The platform makes its money off of people constantly paying for coins to communicate with others on this site. If someone sends you a special email, and you open it, that’s 10 coins. If you listen to an audio message, that’s another 10 coins.

So definitely, someone can get caught up financially. The profiles don’t seem real to me. Some of the responses are Ai like. In the short time that I did chat with one user I kept getting asked the same question over and over. So it does appear that there are either bots or possibly people who probably get some kind of incentive to keep people on this site, and that’s how the site makes its money. So I immediately communicated with the customer service chat box, and a rep did try to keep me on the site by offering 15 and then doubling to 30 coins as the “final, we don’t normally do this.” And then the rep gave me the option to go invisible, or completely deactivate and remove my profile. I went with that last option as that was my initial request. I did find the customer service to be attentive via email as well. Any discrepancies I may have had and shared was remedied. I appreciated that. Because of this, I changed my rating from 1 to 2 stars.

This particular dating website is just not my vibe because I don’t think that one should have to pay for every action pretty much. Plus, just the basics are not granted. Everything has a price like a pinball machine.

One is better off going to Coffee Meets Bagel and other sites like that. I can definitely see people preying upon other people. So. this is where discernment comes in. Well if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. The pool of available profiles is plentiful, and your inbox does get quite full with emails and text messages. However, it does cost to communicate, and there is a lot of auto generation.

You got to me almost instantly. Your questions were concise and focused. Resolution came within minutes. Much better than I expected. Thank you for you professional response, and this follow up. Yours, Bill

Very expensive site to use. Not sure how true some of the profiles are real. Difficult to contact customer service to cancel and they have credit card info on file.

The people you talk to insist you spend money using the site’s email, which costs you a lot more to open than their texting. I have only talked to two people on there and they both send “exclusive posts” , which again, costs more money to read. They also practically beg me to send them virtual gifts, which also can cost me literally hundreds of dollars to send. The standard user, aka fools who fall for this, such as I, is not privy to sending “exclusive posts”, yet everyone else seems to have the access to do it. When I asked the “ask” why this was, it mentioned that you have to be listed as a “creator” and people who do this make money off of you spending money and THEY only pay a monthly fee to use this site! So, okay, curious foolish me went to customer service to see how to become a
“creator” and was told that it is in the testing process by the developers and that only a random select of users were selected to get it. Funny since everyone seems to have it. I am done with this site, thank you!

It is not a. App, it is a platform. I would say that 90% of profiles are fake . The man are all wealthy professionals , handsome and very elegant and they all have a philosophy of life which is to die for. You can tell thst they are AI generated.
As to the cost, the big mystery. You don’t pay for subscribing, you pay each time by buying credits which are used when writing and reading mails and messages and the price of “ credits “ keeps getting hire as you use it, the formula of time and cost is hard to decifer. I bought 150 credits for 40cnd$ a special offer. These lasted 40 min. only??? It should have been 75 min.
Two credit gives you 1 minute when messaging . Messaging is limited to just 4 lines then you have to start a new message, why??? but when you write or read a mail it costs 10 credits both ways. If you get an oral message and you want to listen to it it costs 30 credits.
A message is 2 credits for 1 min. How the time is calculated is a mystery . All prices are in American $$$ and the profiles state that they are in the States but they don’t even say where. I would say that 90% are Latinos, there are a couple of Chinese who live in China. A couple of Venezuelans who live there, a couple of Ukrainians, 2 Canadians. They are all wealthy do don’t worry if you have to move to China or Ukraine you’ll live the grand life. Oh yes there are 2 who have a private plane and a yacht why they flaunt their wealth is not clear, is it possible that they have never heard of gold diggers???
There is only a chat box to communicate with clients ‘s services but don’t count on an answer.
Oh they ask you what age range you’d like to see but don’t bother specifying it because you’ll be contacted by 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 70 and 80 years old. Don’t try to complain nothing will change but that is understandable because each one of those men will have to pay to write to you so why turn them away. Get ready to be patient, robbed and led astray by this platform which is just one more scam out there.

I was blocked and I have no idea why! I emailed them and received an AI answer then a very polite response and then a " you are permanently blocked" response ". I am finding many of these dating apps are under the same companies so if even for no explained reason they can dump you and block you for anything they want.

No answer ,Thank you very much for advice .Regards Modesta

I recently set up an account on this site and am a bit disenchanted with the experience so far. The questions your site asked me in terms of preference do not show at all any of those preferences to include the age parameters (18-90 I the spread, but I set mine 45-50). Many of the messages I received were very much below the age bracket of my preference, some individuals around the ages of my children (no thank you). To make matters worse some of the messages seemed like they are from bots not real people. One profile looked promising so I liked one of the images and commented on the color of the suit and he sent a message “you definitely know how to make a girl curious. Tell me what’s your secret” followed by an introductory audio message that was clearly AI and not his voice (it did not at all match with the photos on the profile...) He then immediately proceeded to send me an email through the app and a chat message “There are my letters and photos in the email. Tell me your thoughts later, okay?” I did not at all feel like I was talking to a real person especially with how quickly the canned responses came.

Just prior to that I had been chatting with two people and then was prompted by the app I needed to pay $75 (discounted to $21) for 150 coins to keep chatting. This is the worst dating app I have ever used, particularly for one that is supposed to be geared towards mature dating. And some of the messages flying through the apps chat and email were very fast paced without even a hello, just a random question out of nowhere. This was very much unlike the advertised slow paced easygoing mature concept from the business.

My question was answered promptly and in a way that I understood the policy

Well I feel like the money you have to pay is crazy some people don't have money to be able to talk to someone that you care about I have spent lot of money and really like a guy but now I can't talk to them cause no money for your rip off
