Forget Dinner: A Dating Website Just For Quickies

October 30, 2009

Forget Dinner is a website that caters to people in sexless marriages. The casual dating site is particularly popular in the UK and boasts the tag line: "Forget dinner and go straight to bed!" Subtle!

While many people use online dating (and dating in general) just to get laid, Forget Dinner removes any confusion. The site explains: "Forget Dinner allows people to be direct and honest about what they want without having to waste time, money, and effort sifting through the many thousands of singles who want a partner for life." Almost all the users are married, and the site has a 10-to-1 ratio of men to women. Some users say that they want to avoid long-term affairs that could get messy, so instead they look for no-strings-attached sex to make up for what they're evidently not getting at home.

There's a trend among dating sites to declare people's motives right from the start. We have the site 7 or Better for people looking for well-endowed men, and there's even a Sugar Daddies site. Basically, there's a dating destination for everyone. What do you think about a concept like Forget Dinner?

Hi! Please be aware of this web page is a total con. I have got MUCH more success in free webpages. They use your profile to send fake mails and spam to you or from other members that haven't send nothing. I have to believe that most of the contacts are fake too... And by the way be aware of what you signing because you NOT signing for a one off payment but a direct debit. They will charge you again, and again. The support team is a: "computer say no" so forget about any refunds. Feel free to contact me for more information. I'm a person not a computer: [email protected] Thanks

Anybody thinking of using any of the myriad white label sites should wait until the company appears before the law to disprove allegations of fraud and false practice, many people have complained to the TSA. Be patient though, it could take some time, they can afford some very expensive legal backup.

I joined the site with no picture and one line saying I was looking for NSA fun. I've had over 150 messages! How fantastic is that?? All I have to do now is pay my subscription fee and all that totty is waiting for me!!! Can't wait!! lol What a bleeding rip-off! the site is linked to over half a dozen similar sites (I've joined up to loads of them - no subscription to any of course - just wanted to see if they were for real) and I get the same email telling me I have mail from the same woman across many of the sites! HOWEVER... if you are aged between 21 and 38, a ripped athlete, extremely handsome and hung like a donkey - you WILL get success! Just ask my wife!! :) For the rest of us married normal looking blokes looking for a bit of fun on the side with or without our wives consent... save your money and get down to a local grab a granny night in a club near you!

These sites do seem to work well in the London area but throughout the rest of the country seem to be pretty dire - but then again that is logical since London does have a much higher concentration of singles, especially in the 21+ age group. What I have noticed is since most of them seem to be serving niche tastes, they have started swapping members between sites (many of which seem to be based on a platform called 'white label dating' which appears to lease software backend + members lists to site owners who design a concept + front-end) - so on many occasions after making contact with another user it rapidly becomes apparent that you've just hooked up with someone looking exclusively for something catered for by a different site, which can lead to mishandling interactions that you might have carried out differently had you known. the only real-life encounters I have had via the internet have been from free sites like OK Cupid and plentyoffish, however these sites are also annoying as there are vast numbers of users who aren't interested in dating anyone and just like to look at the poor saps who are. Ultimately there's no substitute for expanding your real life social circles and I think the net seems to be a good tool for this.

Take it from me, 1st hand, its a scam.

Well I'm a woman (and not a prostitute) who joined the site a few days ago, and now I find out that my account has been - with no warning whatsoever - deactivated, presumably because they thought I was. It's a shame because I was finding it great fun, and enjoying it immensely. But the reason I am cross is because I think they have given my email and profile details away to some other less-pleasant sites. In a way I hope so, because I'm a lawyer and I will take them to the cleaners if they have without my consent.

90% (no exaggeration) of the users who have messaged me are fake. They try to get you to sign up to other sites and very often their profiles are quickly blocked by the site administrators. If you're thinking about using this site, sign up for a trial before parting with any cash. Put as little text as possible in your profile and see how much interest from gorgeous girls you get in a month. This will show you how many users are scammers. My recommendation: save the money you would spend on membership fees with forgetdinner.com and put it towards any other means to the same goal and/or use plentyofffish.com (it's free).

I couldn't agree more with anonymous above. I'm a 34 year old man living in Manchester who has been absolutely bombarded with winks from the scammers, often from the same one using a dozen or more profiles with the same cheesy text. The profiles which look real haven't been active in the last month and nobody who is active seems to be a full member and therefore able to respond to enquiries. I've had one response to over 100 messages. It might be OK in London - and I hope it is, because I like the concept of the site - but for anyone looking for a date in Manchester this site is simply not worth bothering with. I paid four quid for a month's membership on a special offer instead of the usual 20-plus per month, and I feel ripped off even with that. Avoid this site at all costs.

sorry to say it would appear that "Forget Dinner" is on the edge of being a scam site! Joined on recommendation of a less discerning friend. I am a 54 year old man constantly receiving winks from early 20`s women apparently wowed by my profile!Turns out most work for other sites trying to solicit business. Those women who do contact me in my age preferred group, seem incapable of writing more than 4 Ines of email and once you suggest chatting on the phone, surprise surprise no longer interested. So one and all beware. I have had more "fun" on normal dating sites:-)

I could see this working for singles, but I find it a little sad/disgusting that it's mostly married people using these websites.

If it didn't cater to married people, I wouldn't have a problem with it, actually. Some people do just want a physical relationship. It isn't for me, but there are people out there who it could work for.

Having visited the site out of curiosity, I've got to say it looks like a thinly-veiled means of connecting to not-so-subtle prostitutes.

What's wrong with honesty and directness? Everyone knows infidelity is the best way to mend a marriage. I just didn't think it was so difficult to do without the assistance of a website.
