A lot of online dating websites beat around the bush in terms of what they are willing to offer their membership base and claim to be able to give their members hook ups, casual dating, relationships, and even marriage at the same time.
Those websites are usually the same ones who end up not satisfying their users because they had promised too much and were not able to deliver the results for their members. Once you’ve lost the trust of your membership base, it can be hard to get them back and it can be even more difficult to restore the popularity of your website for the future.
The best thing to do for an online dating website is to advertise what your site’s purpose is without sugarcoating anything and BeNaughty.com just does that for its’ users who are all looking for the same thing.
BeNaughty is specific in giving out its’ main goal and purpose to its’ users so they can “Meet new people, flirt without serious intent, enjoy webcam sessions and mingle with singles in a fun way when you join the largest venue for playful people!” It does not get much more direct than that which can clear up a lot of confusion that befalls other popular online dating websites who can spread themselves too thin with its’ stated purpose.
BeNaughty is meant to be a fun and casual dating website which is meant to bring both heterosexual and homosexual singles together to have a good time and to get to know each other better.
These single men and women are mainly signing up to hook up and have casual relations with each other. It’s possible though that these casual relationships can be taken even further and become serious but that’s likely a side effect of the website and not the main focus.
It’s important to note that this website is not just for singles but is also for both straight and gay couples who are looking for someone to share their life with in a casual manner.
This site is simply for everyone so there’s no discrimination here and everybody is allowed to sign-up and register for a profile. If you were looking for a long-term relationship or a marriage to come out of your pursuits on BeNaughty, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
In terms of the overall visitors and the number of members who have signed-up and joined, it’s quite impressive and worthy of noting. It’s estimated according to the BeNaughty website that over 13 million unique visitors come to check out the website each month in order to see if the fun, casual atmosphere and features they’re looking for.
BeNaughty also claims that it has over a couple of hundred thousand active members who are logging-in and being active online each and every day.
CupidPLC is the owner of BeNaughty.com along with many other ‘niche’ dating websites such as Flirt.com, IndianDating.com, Wildbuddies.com, Cupid.com, etc.
While CupidPLC is the owner of BeNaughty, the actual website is run by a subsidiary of CupidPLC called FrindrLTD. Many of these dating websites owned by CupidPLC have large user bases and are known for their popularity.
However, if you’re a man, the gender ratio is slanted in favor of men since there are more men than women on the website. The ratio is 60% men to 40% women.
BeNaughty Review
Main Features
- Signing up and Registering
Luckily, on BeNaughty, it only takes a few minutes to register and sign-up for your own profile. First, you’ll be asked if you’re a man or a woman and if you’re part of a couple or single instead.
After that, you’ll be asked for your date of birth, e-mail address, and current zip code. When completing all of these steps, you’ll be ready to create both your username and personal password for this website.
You should be aware that you’ll have to await about ten to fifteen minutes in order to get the confirmation e-mail message from BeNaughty to let you know whether your account has been confirmed or not.
However, BeNaughty presents upon all of its’ new members their “Top 30 Matches” even before they have begun entering in their profile information, which is quite rare to see in most dating websites.
- Creating a Profile
When you begin to fill out your profile, you’ll have to answer more personal questions about yourself so that the BeNaughty system will be able to match you with other users more efficiently and with greater accuracy.
It’s important to be aware that you’ll need to share things publicly in order to get better matches. BeNaughty will ask you questions about your smoking and drinking habits, what you’re looking for in a partner, what’s your sexual orientation (gay or straight), your body type (athletic, average, overweight, etc.).
It only takes about ten to fifteen minutes in order to fill out this additional information to get a list of compatible daily matches.
- Search Feature
Once you fill out all of the necessary information about yourself, you’ll be ready to begin searching for other users who are like-minded, similar, and whom you might develop a strong connection with.
Your search can be as specific or as general as you would like it to be depending upon your chosen criteria. When it comes to the actual criteria, you can choose based upon gender, age range, current location, photos, video, and current online status.
In addition, you can also search by similar interests and hobbies, race / ethnicity, and by what exactly you’re looking for in a partner.
- Matching System
By filling out your profile and setting your search options, you’ll be able to be matched each day with better, more compatible members who will fit both your needs and wants.
The more specific you are with your preferences, the better your daily results will be.
- Favorites List
Lastly, you can also add certain members to a ‘favorites list’, where you can access their profiles more easily.
- Pop Up Messages
You can also choose to receive pop-up messages about other compatible profiles that fit your preferences.
BeNaughty comes with a banner that is usually displayed at the bottom of every webpage which shows links to its’ different social media networks, feedback options, different notifications through chat, e-mail messages, flirting, etc. updates to the forum, notifications about dating safety and security, and other pop-ups.
This banner may be annoying to you but it’s a way for BeNaughty to recommend its’ other features to its’ loyal members.
- Who’s Hot Near Me
If you’re looking for potential hook-ups in your immediate area, there is a very useful feature known as ‘Who’s Hot Near Me’ section, which highlights popular members of the website who are close to you by location and may be willing to meet you in person.
As mentioned before, certain pop-ups on the webpage will highlight certain members and profiles, which may be compatible for you as matches based on the information you wrote down on your profile.
- Icons
BeNaughty has a number of icons, which help make it easy for this site to be navigated without any major issues. There is a top and a bottom interactive menu, which makes it simple to use any feature or access any sub-page of the main website.
There is also a help page available to all users, which is most similar to Cupid.com. Additionally, there is general help content available as well as a frequently answered questions section for members to access.
There’s a list of the most popular topics that have been addressed by the help section before, you can scroll through it if you’re looking for answers to the questions you have regarding the website.
However, it’s important to note that the support system can only be contacted directly through e-mail messages so you may have to wait a while until you get a formal response back from the BeNaughty support staff.
Additional Features
Unfortunately, not every feature can be made available to you if you’re not a paid member with an unlimited subscription.
As a free user, you’re rather limited in terms of what you can and can’t do on the BeNaughty website. However, if you’re willing to upgrade your membership, you’ll gain access to a number of cool and useful features that will make your experience with this website much more entertaining and unique.
- Naughty Mode
With an upgraded membership, you can decide to activate or deactivate what’s called the ‘naughty mode’. If you decide to keep this feature active, you’ll be able to see explicit and adult content, whether it is photos or video of other users doing things that are considered to be ‘naughty.’
This particular feature can be deactivated so it is not mandatory to use if you are a paid member of the website. If you do not feel like committing to a long-term upgraded subscription by the way, you have the option of being able to get a free three-day trial with all of the features included before you have to begin paying for that unlimited membership.
This is a good way for you to check out all of what BeNaughty has to offer its’ users without breaking the bank and taking out your credit card. The account trial is short in length but it’s enough time for you to get a feel for the website and its’ membership base.
- Icebreakers
If you are not sure on how to start the conversation with someone on BeNaughty, the website will help you with this as an upgraded member by providing a list of up to fifty different ‘icebreakers’. These icebreakers will be instrumental in helping you find the right words to create the message to send to that person you’re interested in.
- Audio and Video
There are also some downloadable third party applications for both online audio and video chatting you can use in order to communicate with other members offline. You’ll be able to see some of the options on the BeNaughty website when it comes to the different applications available.
- Erotic Photo Contests
As if this website weren’t naughty enough already, there are ‘erotic photo contests’ you can enter yourself into the competition with your own pictures and compete against other members.
You can rate these photos and they are set up and put into different categories depending upon the content of the photo.
Please be aware that these explicit pictures may be seen by many other members of the website so you have to be sure beforehand that you would like them to be entered officially into the contest.
- Virtual Naughty Gifts
If you would like to express your interest more directly to another member of the website, you can decide to pay for and send ‘virtual naughty gifts’.
You can also receive these gifts yourself and when you do get them, you have the option of displaying them proudly on the main profile page for other members to see.
- Facebook Application
Lastly, BeNaughty has a Facebook application, which you can add to your existing Facebook account. This will allow you to find potential matches close to your location or to find out which friends of yours are currently using BeNaughty to find a hookup or casual dating.
Safety & Security
When it comes to casual dating and hookup websites like BeNaughty, there are a few things to be aware of in order to ensure both your personal safety and security.
- Fake Profiles
You should really be on the lookout for fake profiles disguised as real profiles and to make sure that you talk to the user first for a while and verify their identity before you give out any personal information about yourself or before you decide to meet with them in person.
- Spam Messages
Also, be wary of spam messages, spam winks, or other notifications that clutter up your inbox but which don’t actually come from real members of the website.
If it’s too good to be true in that you’re getting multiple messages, chat requests, and invitations to join groups and you just joined BeNaughty yesterday, then you should take the invitations with a grain of salt and be ready to reject a lot of them due to the fact they’re probably spam messages.
- Fine Print
Make sure as well that you read the fine print in the terms and conditions part of the website when it comes to paying the membership fees each month.
You want to make sure that you don’t get stuck with a big bill because you didn’t check out the details first.
Lastly, it’s vital that you never give out your contact information willingly to spam profiles or hackers because they can do a lot of damage to your e-mail account and other accounts you hold if you’re not careful regarding your personal information. A little bit of security goes a long way on BeNaughty.
Costs of Membership
There are three different payment options when it comes to the upgraded membership subscription for BeNaughty.
- One Month Membership
The most expensive option is the first one, which is where you’ll be charged $25 for a one-month subscription.
- Three Month Membership
The second option is cheaper at a total cost of $42 for a three-month subscription with each month costing $14.
- Six Months Membership
The last option is the cheapest but also the longest commitment at six-months for a subscription for a total of $66 with each individual month costing $11 allowing you to save over 50% by choosing the longest subscription option over the shortest one at one-month total.
Positives and Negatives
Positives:
BeNaughty is far from being a perfect online dating website but it has a few things going for it overall.
- 3 Day Trial
You can choose a short and easy three-day trial with access to all features if you want to get a feel for the website without putting any money down.
- Flirts
There are a number of flirt options that you can test out along with the fact that most of the membership is looking for the same thing in terms of casual hookups and dating being the focus.
Negatives:
- Pricey
However, if you’re not a paid member of the website, you’re missing out on most of the features and it can be quite expensive to upgrade your membership.
- Scammers
There’s also a lot of scammers, spammers, and frauds on this website due to the lack of safety and security provisions offered by BeNaughty.
However, if you’re willing to take the risk and use the necessary precautions, BeNaughty may be the casual hookup website for you.
