In our MeetMe review, we explore the site to see if we can land some dates with single women. We had some pretty interesting findings! 2025 MeetMe Review: Is It the Easiest Way to Meet Singles Online?



From my experience reviewing so many dating sites, they generally fall into one of two categories. They’re either complete trash and a danger to your credit card or they’re legitimate. Working through this MeetMe review, I was surprised to find that it bridges the gap between the two. It certainly made for an interesting review process and I was never really sure what to expect next. If nothing else, it was a pleasant change from reviewing sites that form part of a huge scam network. You have to be using at least one dating app these days. There just isn’t getting around it. It’s become so rare to meet other singles in public and be able to strike up a conversation that a LOT of dating has gone online. You need to stop holding out if you have been! In today’s review I’ll be walking you through my experience reviewing MeetMe.com and offering my recommendations. If you’re looking for specific “how to” steps for certain things, check the FAQ at the end. Before I get into my experience with the site, let’s run through my review process for some context. I put a lot of time into this process to make sure you can get the most out of it. To get started, I’ll create a free account for myself and just leave it blank . No profile photo, no bio text or information. I’ll leave it to sit that way for a couple of days to see if I get slammed with fake messages. If I find 65 “women” have messaged my completely blank profile in that time, we’ve found a winner—it’s a fake site for sure. No real woman is messaging a blank profile. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll then complete my profile just as I would on a reputable site. My aim here is to set up actual dates with real women so I want my side of things to be legit. I’ll use the site with this free account for about a week and see if a date is possible without paying. Finally, if the site seems trustworthy enough, I’ll upgrade to a paid account and use it for another several weeks . Again, my aim is to set up as many dates as possible. This gives me some quality insight into how worthwhile the paid perks are. If I’m on the fence about the site being trustworthy, I’ll look around for some outside opinions. Generally googling the site name and the word “scam” is all it takes if the site is bad. This site seems to rely on ad revenue, so the payment side of things here is kind of a moot point. Now that you know the process we went through to review MeetMe lets get into the results! Our MeetMe Review — Will You Actually Meet a Real Human? Now that we have some context for this review, let’s see how MeetMe.com stacks up against a known site. AFF (which you can try for free) is easily the best hookup app we’ve seen lately, especially for regular single guys. Here is how they compare: Our team rates each site objectively based on many hours of independent research, the features each site offers, and how it compares with other sites. The ratings are the opinion of our editors and their extensive experience. Our opinion of how attractive the typical woman is that uses this site and how easy they are to connect with compared to other sites. How many people are using this site to actually meet people compared to other sites. How easy is this site to use and how quickly can an average person begin meeting people compared to other sites. Does this site take proper precautions to safeguard its members, their identity, and their data. Our opinion of how easily an average person will be able to achieve their dating goals with this site compared to other sites. Will the time and money spent using this site pay off for an average person based on the opinions and experience of our editors. For sites that fall into one of the two usual categories, this comparison section is very telling. For the MeetMe review though, it’s a mixed bag. The site looks okay and is functional. But the types of women I found on there generally were not. It has a decent-sized, active user base (they claim a user base of 40 million). But most users were nothing short of toxic. I didn’t know what to think in the first few hours of using it. My opinions soon firmed up after I started talking to people though. I’ll get into my recommendation in a moment but if you’re just looking for a legit site right now, I’ll save you some time. Stick to the top hookup websites and save yourself the trouble. Using something like AFF means you’re getting a real user base and a safe environment. You know they aren’t going to steal your credit card info and they take scams very seriously. Chatting with someone for 20 minutes only to have them send you a link to a paid website is a frustration you could do without. My recommendation. I’ll break down a few major elements below but here’s the crux of this review in a few simple points. My recommendation in two words: Stay away. Don’t use it. Stick to legitimate websites and don’t reward sites like this with your money. The esteemed user “Ok” was kind enough to sum up the general sentiment nicely: Of course, it begs the question if it’s such a nasty place (and it is), why are you so active here? This isn’t the last you’ve seen of “Ok” in this review. Legitimate beginnings as MyYearbook. Originally created by two US high school students in 2005, it was launched under the name MyYearbook. It started out with legitimate beginnings and was something vaguely similar to the original Facebook. It was renamed MeetMe in 2012 and somewhere along the way it devolved into its current state. This may be where their claims of “40 million users” comes from. A sea of inactive accounts that have been accumulating for 15 years and counting. There’s a slight chance this number is legit, but when you consider Tinder’s user base of 57 million it seems unlikely. MeetMe has a very toxic user base. The best way to describe MeetMe is a hybrid dating/social media site. You have the dating functionality at the forefront (hence the name), but there’s also a social feed. Referred to as “Discuss,” this tab will show you a feed of what other users have shared. This ranges from memes and political rants to new selfies and “people suck” posts. The more time I spent scrolling through this feed and reading various threads, the less I wanted to interact. Take this charming gentleman for example. He seems to be a decent representation of the users on MeetMe. Don’t believe me? A few memes later in the feed and Derry had this little gem to share with the world: Scammers, toxic users and inactive accounts. As usual, I reached out to 50 women when working through this MeetMe review. Of those 50 women, here’s the breakdown of what I got: 24% scammers 16% normal conversation 24% read my message but ignored 36% message not even read. That’s right, I spoke to 8% more scammers than I did real people. More than one in three messages I sent weren’t even read.
