Alt.com Review

I was getting a little bored with my dating life and was looking to switch things up, which is why I've been checking out BDSM sites. I came across Alt.com and immediately after signing up, I knew it was what I was looking for: something less stuffy and more casual where I can just be myself without judgment.

What is Alt.com all about?

Alt.com was created in 1995 and now has over 20 million active users in over 200 countries! Alt.com is a site for people who are into the BDSM scene and need a safe environment where they can play and explore. It caters to singles, swingers, and couples looking to explore fantasies, kinks, and desires.

How does Alt.com app work?

The site works like any other. Once you go through the signup process, you can browse profiles, send winks, use chat rooms, and view profiles. There's also a main feed showing who is broadcasting, with community and group updates in the sidebar.

Is Alt.com legit?

Don't let the outdated user interface fool you, this site is legit. The Alt dating app belongs to the FriendFinder Network, which has been around since 1996 and is behind popular dating sites like AdultFriendFinder, Passion.com, Cams.com, OutPersonals, and FriendFinder.com.

My first impression of Alt.com

Dark user interface, a lil' bit grungy, a lotta bit spicy. It's good for those new to the scene with lots of active videos to look through.

How to delete account on Alt.com

1. Look for your username in the top right hand corner and click
2. Click on "My Account"
3. Scroll down to "Manage Account" and click close account
4. Click "Please Delete My Account" at the bottom and enter your password

Alt.com review of the sign up process

What are the search capabilities for the Alt.com dating site?

There were A LOT of options including who you're looking for, distance, age, join date, height, sexual orientation, body type, and even some uncommon filters. Advanced search filters are available for free — probably the most I've ever seen!

Final Thoughts for My Alt.com Review

I really enjoyed my time on Alt.com. It had plenty to offer for raw, unadulterated fun. They nailed the BDSM theme, but could use a mobile app for Android, a more modern layout, and more free features. For now, Alt.com will be my go-to when I'm looking for a dating alternative!
