Kasidie Review
Another Update. Just got an email from Tony M that read: “Kasidie is fake you God damn stupid mother$#*!ing idiot! Someone paid you to falsely advertise Kasidie when it’s a complete scam!”. This fellow would appear to be a complete lunatic. For the record, in addition to the three couples with profiles on Kasidie that we personally know, we met, played with, and are now corresponding on Kasidie with a lovely couple at club Privata in Portland last Saturday. No Tony, it’s not fake. The reasons that no one from Kasidie wants to meet you probably lie elsewhere.:)
Update: I’m in a relationship now and we’ve added a couples profile. As I suspected the site works much better for couples. My below review is still relevant for single males but I’m upping the rating to five stars based on its value to couples and to balance at least one ridiculous one star review. People use porn stars for their profiles so you’re not paying? Seriously dude? Ok everyone, take a look at the profiles on the site and tell me if you think these folks are porn stars. Sheesh. As far as the other negative reviews, one is from a guy that appears to have an issue with the owner. I don’t know if what he says is true but it has nothing to do with the performance of the site which is pretty darned good for a swinger site. The other folks complained that you have to have a certification from another member to be able to view private sections of profiles. This is true and that feature is a little peculiar. However I personally feel it’s also a good way to keep out the curious but not serious (see below) who are just interested in seeing what their neighbors are up to. While it’s an accurate criticism and a fair opinion, basing a one star review on it seems a bit harsh to me.
The members are real (a number are friends of ours) and pleasant. As far as the statement that this is essentially a social networking site for swingers? Yes it is. Isn’t that what it claims to be?
My original single male review follows:
I have been a member of Kasidie for about four months. In a perfect world I would rate them three stars but, in relative terms, they are pretty good for a lifestyle site. The people are clearly real (I know three couples on here personally) and they are friendly. I have never connected with anyone for a date but I have had several responses to people who were not interested in me but either said no thanks (you can’t ask for more folks and frankly that level of politeness is rare in the lifestyle) or helpfully answered a question I had. The few people I have chatted with in the chat rooms were very friendly.
The site is based in Las Vegas and would appear to be THE SITE if you live in Nevada or Colorado where most of their members seem to live. They also seem to have a lot of members in California. I have a single male profile on the site and have been thinking of switching to a couples profile with my lifestyle “partner in pleasure” (on other sites we have a couples profile and each have a single profile). The reason being that this site appears to cater largely to couples. As far as the “Dollar store shoppers” critique I find that bizarre because, if anything, I would say Kasidie members tend a little to much to the “beautiful people” demographic for me.
This site has a couple of features that I really like. First is the travel section where you can post trips you are taking. I really wish it was utilized more but I have still used it a couple of times. The wall posting is not terribly original, but the posts from groups you belong to and friends does keep things interesting. The feature I really like is that there is a standard private photos and notes section that is visible to all paid members but not to free members. I’m at a point in the lifestyle where I’m still discreet but not really concerned at all about being outed by actual lifestyle people. My concern is with posers who sign up with a fake profile just for prurient interest to see what the naughty neighbors are up to. I’m not really concerned that these clowns will actually pony up for a membership. I can post a face pic here and tell people what small town I actually live in rather than explaining later when I contact them why my profile lists a false and much larger home town. I think that feature gets it just right.
I will definitely give this site some more time. That may sound like faint praise but I’m afraid it’s really saying something for a lifestyle site.
