You know those weird, skinny recluses, wearing hipster clothing and often donning windsor glasses? Does an image come to mind? These are the types to frequent this website. They're often rude, abrupt, and inconsiderate. You ask a question, leave, and then come back and log in the next day expecting to see an answer and instead you'll see five or six responses that have been 'moderated' due to someone having left something obscene in response to your question.

It was a waste of time. They did me a solid, though, because one day I went to log in and I found that my account had either been removed or deleted by one of the admins. So I can't even use the site, and I'd suggest you don't try to, either. Unless you're a sketchy liberal who gets their jollies by leaving vulgar responses to simple queries made by people online. If you're one of these types, you'll fit right in.

The so-called "2 318 900+ members registered on the site" isn't exactly truthful -- it's outright misleading.

The majority of the members are either inactive and/or fake users without a profile picture. Most people discover earlier on how poor the Positive Singles experience is & then leave to never return. If PS was fair, they'd boot people off of the site after having been inactive for more than six months. But that would interfere with their ability to market the site and bolster their user count.

In your first two to three pages of search results you'll find people who were recently active to last logged in more than a week ago. You'll have one to two pages of people who were last logged in two weeks to more than a month ago. And then you'll have over ten+ pages of users who don't have a picture assigned to their profiles (and usually last logged in more than a month ago). These profiles supply the bulk of the over 2 million+ users PS likes to brag about having on their site.

If you absolutely HAVE to buy a membership, please just purchase one month, you'll regret purchasing a larger membership. A one month will allow you to message every local you're interested in at least two to three times before it expires (good luck getting a reply back from someone who hasn't logged on in over a month).

Positive Singles is literally a derelict ghost town of abandoned profiles. User retention doesn't seem to be one of their strong suits. I wouldn't recommend using this site, but I would strongly advise against paying these parasites anything. They profit off of exploiting people suffering from a horrible, stigmatizing condition. Pay, and use at your own discretion.

Tip for consumers:
Don't get your hopes up
