Alt.com Contacting
  • Have a free live video chat with other members

Also, you can add certain members, who you find interesting, as your friend or to your Hotlist. In addition to that, you can also search for members who are online and who are nearby.

    However, having only a basic membership has contacting restrictions. As a free member, you cannot send messages nor read your received messages. Also, you cannot send flirts to other interesting members. Therefore, to unlock all your contacting options, you must be an Alt.com premium member.

    Then again, as a way of communicating with other members, you can still join Alt.com’s adult chat rooms.

    Alt.com Profile Quality

    Alt.com Member's Profile
    • Shows the result of a member's purity test
    • Flaunt your blings on your profile
    • Some members prefer not to divulge information on their profiles
    • The profiles are quite detailed
    • Profile pictures are not visible to anyone for free

    As a member of the Alt.com adult dating community, you can complete and update your profile details anytime. It is also up to you as to how detailed you want your profile to be.

    Most of the profiles on Alt.com are very informative. Some of the details which can be found on a (male) Alt.com member's profile are his endowment length and width and his circumcision information. In addition to that, also included in a member's profile are his/her (BDSM) role and level of experience. Some profiles also display the owner's AIM, MSN, and ICQ username, the result of his/her purity test (a set of questions which aims to measure how pure or naughty a member is), personality type, BDSM fundamentals, testimonials, friends network, bling, kinks, compatibility chart, and more. All these can help you have an idea about other members of this adult dating community.

    However, you will only be able to view other members' profiles if you will subscribe to a Silver or Gold premium membership. Therefore, if you want to get to know an interesting member more by viewing his/her profile, you had better upgrade your basic membership.

    These special features will certainly help you make your online dating experience fun and help you effectively find a suitable match:
