Knowing that fake accounts or even scammers may plague dating platforms, it's quite understandable that Heated Affairs will limit a standard user's access to the site. After all, the website aims to be discreet, and one way to do so is by making sure the members you interact with are all humans with the same intentions.
Paying members get the upper hand when it comes to interaction, as they have full access to:
Whenever they like the profile they're browsing, premium accounts can send them messages, photos, private albums, and a variety of media. They can also read and respond to messages from fellow Gold Members for full interaction.
Premium members can add up to a thousand profiles to their Hotlist. That way, they won't miss interacting with a member because they lost their profile in a sea of million users.
These are the witty pick-up lines or opening statements you can send out en masse.
Paying members can also send potential acquaintances or friendship profiles that might suit them. Having friends in your Heated Affairs network is a subtle way to show off that you are a credible and accessible member.
If a paying member wants to start something, they can test the waters by sending a flirt. This wordless interaction is sufficient to let a member know you have your eyes on them.
Instant Messenger (IM) is another way to contact members at Heated Affairs. The IM service supports webcams, so it's possible to video-chat with a member, watch live cams, or start a show yourself.
Write any topic under the sun at Heated Affairs' blog forums. Aside from displaying your talents, you can also follow engaging members and interact with them through comments on their blog posts.
Divided geographically or by interest, you can join groups to get in touch with several Heated Affairs members at once.
Heated Affairs also have public chat rooms that are open to all members. Here, you can freely interact with anyone; who knows, maybe you'll get lucky by the end.
Gold members indeed get more bang for their buck, but letting standard users interact through other means is still a nice and thoughtful touch.
This feature allows premium members of Heated Affairs to communicate with regular members. This will allow free members to see your full profile and message you anytime.
