every time I try to sign in I get the pop up ads and I click on them every now and then but most of the time they seem like they would be bait and switch or TGTBT

just wondering what the afiliation is with this site and if anyone has tried going to next step of signing up ?

I can not speak to the specifics for this site. But in general, I would be very very careful about moving from site to site via a pop up ad. there are all kinds of ways a bad guy can exploit you via pop ups to steal your credentials. Its gotten pretty bad, where even legitimate commerce or news web sites have been infiltrated with ads that look like they are from one company but when you follow the details, it really goes to a fake login page established just for the purpose of getting your credentials. easy to imagine a scenario where you have a site where you enter a credit card (like one of those dating sites where you pay to message someone, get heisted and your info is stolen.
I'm not in anyway impugning the integrity of this site, I've never looked at it close. I've just worked on literally hundreds of these situations in my real life. It's a lot safer, if you like the looks of something to go directly to the website yourself, or at the least, watch the URL address of where you are being directed, particularly in credit card situations.

The ad that pops up for me features pics of indies that claim to be from my area. I immediately close the window.

I did notice, however, that one of the women pictured IS someone from my area. She claims she's 39. I know it's her because I actually went to see her ... once ... about 15 years ago!. Her pics are the same ones she used then, they are deceptive, and she claimed she was 39 back then, too.

Draw your own conclusions.

Aw, hell. I get pop up ads all the time on this site from Seattle, about 800 miles up the road from me. Srhsrh is right, there are lots of risks in clicking on those ads. At the very least most are time wasters.
