datehookup is like any other free dating site for the single who wants to meet new people. The forums are interesting, varied topics with varied moral values and varied metnality of users / varied attitudes. I wish you to look at these three threads

Interesting how t he site owner does not have the forum activities monitored. As you can see, the forums are taken over by some users, about ten or fifteen, who bash anyone they feel like bashing. Nobody has been able to break down this clique, despite efforts by other users every now and then. The owners of the site are non-committal to peace, order, decency and to the dignity of their own members who support the site. They expressly state this on the help files, by saying "don't bother us with bickering with another user; block them and ban them from your threads." They was their hands, while people get figuratively castrated by a small group of forum users.

One of the worst dating site, too many people with mulitple profiles, there is no control of the threads, people are allowed to flag people for no reasons, people are so rude to the newbies and most don't stay. Forums can be really good, but if you're actually looking for someone  to date, this is not the site for you.  Also the success stories must be formated, amazing how they found their so called "soul mate" after just signing up.

Scummy site to be honest. People lie, and are extremely abusive if you reject them. I am looking for a certain type of man and I get men who don't fit what I state in my profile so I am polite. However, they start swearing though they didn't fit what I was looking for. The forums are worse full of complete utter trash, like a woman with many kids who is proud to be on welfare. They will steal your photos from your profile and make fun of you. If you report them you will get suspended. Most are not there to meet someone.

I deleted my profile there and will never return.

Most members have multiple profiles, Some even have 4 to 10 profiles men pretending to be women and vise versa., customer service seems they don't even care. I don't if  it generates business or what. To much game playing now. When I first joined about 2 years ago it wasn't too bad But now it has gotten way out of hand.  

 I've been using DH for about 2 months and honestly, I don't have any real complaints. Perhaps because I understand what "DATE - HOOK UP" means.  I you are seriously looking for a relationship I say you shell out a few bucks and join e-harmony. If you're like me and just looking to hook up and keep thing casual then DH is perfect.

The forums are fun, you just have to have a tough skin, if you don't then yeah I suggest you stay out, the regulars are pretty vicious.

Have scored twice on this site (Hooked up). Many Women on this site are Immature, common or just plain rude. . Check out the Forums and see for yourself. Don't care to see males using forums to insult women in general. Too many neanderthal males on power trips.

I am a woman and have been out of a relationship for over a year now. I found it difficult getting back into dating, the bar and club scene wasn't my thing anymore. While surfing the 'net, I came across DH and decided to give it a try. It was free and what did I have to lose? I created a profile and not long after I uploaded my photos I was shocked as to what I saw. I was getting e-mails from all these trashy men that have the manners of a boor and the IQ just North of a houseplant. No sense of decency and very discourteous. One e-mailed me trying to guess my bra size and asking what kind of panties I was wearing!!!!!!!! Another asked me if I shaved my privates and if I would go down on him.......I nearly hit the roof when I read that!!!!!!!!!! How appalling!!!!!!!! That's so disrespectful!!!!!!!...I am a human being, not a sex toy. I blocked them and informed customer service of this transgression, yet nothing was done. No reply. What kind of site is this? A virtual meat market? Sex addict's site?

 I soon learned that most of the men on DH are only interested in getting laid. Trolling the site for sex. The place is a haven for players and perverts. Most are probably infected with herpes, syphilis or some kind of STD. I'm not that kind of woman and have too much self respect. I value my health. The men on DH are 100% trailer park trash......losers. While over 90% of them are looking for sex, the remainder are socially challenged dorks who couldn't get a date even if their lives depended on it. Oh, I actually did meet a decent guy on there. I thought he had potential, but soon learned he was married. Just looking for a proverbial "side project" or a fling away from the wife. Sorry, I'm not into the homewrecking business or to be someone's c*ck socket or sexual outlet.

DH has the atmosphere of a strip club and the mentality of your typical frathouse party. I checked out the forums and found out they're a pathetic joke too. The people on there are total knuckleheads and blowhards. Rude and disrespectful towards each other. They like to brag and boast of what "great" lives they lead. Huh?.... Legends in their own minds I think. These people have nothing better to do and put other's down to embellish their own pathetic, miserable lives. Most of the people on the DH forums probably don't have an active social life in the real world and scorned in real life too. Little wonder as to why I see them on their all the time, but then again small minds are easily amused.

DH is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to dating. It's more of a sex site version of My Space. I would never recommend this site to anyone loking for a long term relationship. Hell, I think it would even be insulting for casual dating too. After my horrific experience on DH, I quickly deleted my account. Never to return again. I learned that good things in life are never free. Well, DH is free and it's a sobering reminder you get what you pay for. I'll leave it to that.

Not all the men and women are full of themselves. A few are very genuine. Sounds like the maker of this message is very jaded from finding the ones that are not. You're entitled to your opinion. You say ALL the women on the site........it's just not so. The biggest concern I have about the DH site is their customer service department doesn't answer messages at all, even when asked about their policy to make sure registered sex offenders are not allowed to place a profile on their site. I, unfortunately, found out too late they allow ANYONE to sign up and contact others. Be very cautious. You may be talking with a convicted sex offender/sex predator. That is who found me on this site. Customer service deleted my messages of concern about it and didn't answer any of them. What's the point of having customer service? They have zero security in place to protect their members.

 I agree this is the worst dating site I have ever visited.  I am an intelligent, educated middle age female thinking I could meet someone interesting.   All of the  four men I communicated with was all about sex on the first night.  They run you down then when you finally respond they talk really nice  then sex comes up.  If you refuse or disagree with their idea they get angry and call you names.  The four male dates I  spoke with by email or the phone refused to invite me out to lunch or dinner to meet,  I even agreed to pay for myself, they said yes made an appointment with me and never responded again.  This is it I am withdrawing my profile from DH.    EJ

It's the worst dating site I've been on. So many spiteful and hateful people on there. DH attracts people who are of the lowest common denominator or bottom feeders. The person is right about the forums on DH. A waste of time and a sick joke. It's where the inmates run the asylum. So many red necks, hicks, hillbillies, backward thinking bigots, right wing chauvinists, attention whores, trolls, haters, drama queens and habitual whiners and complainers. People that are thin skinned, petty, spiteful and vindictive. Beware if you have dissenting views or unorthodox opinions, you will be harassed and bullied by said people. These people have nothing better to do than pick fights with other people and intimidation is their favorite tool. That's the way it is on the DH forums where small minds are easily amused. The place is fraught with these simple minded cretins. The dating aspect is a joke. Like the OP said where men greatly outnumber the women. DH is all about and for the women. Women are favored by exponential amounts over the men. If you're a guy on DH you're a loser fighting an uphill, losing battle. Just another cog lost in the shuffle. The women on DH are snobbish and stuck up who wouldn't give you the time of day. They seem to have an acute case of the princess syndrome and it's so funny and ridiculous how all these men fall overthemselves to cater to them. They're so delusion, they think they're gonna hookup or sleep with these stuck up tw&ts. To sum it up DH is a joke and a waste of time. It's best to avoid it all together and spare your dignity, integrity and mental well being. You have been warn! Overall rating of DH : Poor D-

Don't know who you are but your assessment is right on. I am a female that is new to the site, made contact with one male who clearly was not serious about establishing a friendship/relationship. At first it appeared that he was interested but as soon as he realised that he was not dealing with someone who was lot more intelligent that he thought he ceased communication without an explanation. Pure junk, that's what he was, maybe a pervert using the internet to get his groove on.

DateHookUp is known for it's great components especially on it's super easy sign up. It takes less than a minute or two to become a member of the said website.but if you want to exchange your dating idea's i like

Have a nice day!!

Datehookup is just like anyother dating site except it is free and has lots more forums, many age oriented.  Unfortunately, the forums are run by people who just want to play online word and picture games or make snide, petty remarks to each other.  If you begin a topic that isn't all lighthearted and frivolous you  are branded as a negative, arrgumentative person...even when the topic is a neutral one.  Being a woman on this site also means being exposed to other women who will say anything,  and I mean, anything to make you look bad...even in the more so-called mature age groups.  I think that a moderator for each forum would be a good thing as people don't seem to have much respect for one another.  As for the dating part...well, it is the same as any other...there are the good people who are possible dates and then there are the ones who are just there to play.

 Just like in real life...a wink doesn't always go somewhere.

Relax

If someone winked at me and I winked back and then nothing, no big deal, move on,

If I wink at someone and they wink back then i reply with a SHORT msg. and if they reply great, if not, move on.

Never jump into "do you wanna phone" right away, that scares people off and screams DESPERATE!

 I have found the same problem with woman too. When I send a message they don'y reply back even though on their profile they say "I will reply back to any message you send me right one their profile." Must be that woman are scared of rejection too or maybe they are just shy and just don't want to admit.
