Getiton.com Dating Site Review

Overview

GetItOn or GIO is one of the newer players to take a crack at the online adult dating segment. Surprisingly it doesn’t clobber you over the head with the amount of members it has like many of the other sites do. Instead it relies on its advanced sexual compatibility matching to convince you to become a member. This is good news for those that are tired of the sites that feed you quantity instead of quality. Having the ability to match sexual compatibility usually translates to a better chance of getting laid. What this also means is that you don’t have to waste your time trying to go after other members where it’s just a dead end. Profile creation is a little more extensive because they want to make sure they are matching you up with the right sexual partner. The key is to be patient and answer the questions as thoroughly as possible. The last thing you want is to be incompatible in bed. That could get uncomfortably awkward.

There is an initial survey that allows you to check some of your sexual preferences. The choices are sex toys, cybersex, sex on camera, sex in public, threesomes, group sex, dominance, submission, role playing, same-sex experiences, and if you are willing to try sexual practices outside your comfort zone. You get to choose from the list of canned responses of “gotta have it, want it, curious about it, not that important to me, willing to try, if asked, and never gonna happen.” You will then need to fill out more information pertaining to your geographical location, physical attributes, lifestyle, and your ideal partner’s preferences (“cupid preferences”). You want your profile to be as close to being 100% complete as possible. The three main pieces they use to determine your compatibility are from your cupid preferences, location, and sexual preferences. Make sure that at least those three categories are solid. Don’t forget to also upload several flattering photos of yourself. Personally I never click on a profile unless they have a photo. In addition, you have the option of doing an advanced search if for whatever reason you are not satisfied with your initial results.

As you navigate through the site you’ll notice that in order to do anything worthwhile you will have to upgrade to a premium membership. Let’s face it, getting some is never free. There are only a handful of things you can do as free members. Standard members are allowed to view live member webcams one at a time, reply to messages, send limited messages with smiles, and have email stored for 30 days. You are probably thinking, “that’s it?” You wouldn’t be wrong. They intentionally did it that way so that you would be so annoyed, frustrated, and so horny that you would have no choice but to sign up for a premium membership. Although, I think that would suffice if you were a female because you would have to reply to the storm of emails coming from every male on the site.

Memberships

At essentially the same cost of a pizza, you virtually have the keys to the castle. The rate drops further if you commit for 4 months. It becomes dirt cheap if you decide to subscribe for an entire year. I think it’s in your best interest to join for the long haul, especially if you plan on getting laid multiple times. Below is the breakdown of the membership cost. I was surprised there was not a 3 day trial option for this site. I think the site would benefit from that. They could charge like $5.95 for 3 days. It’s like buying a car. You want to test drive it before you decide to buy it. Premium Membership: 18 months @ $5.95/month 4 months @ $9.95/month 1 month @ $18.95/month

Similar to other sites, GIO attempts to upsell you w/ a couple of things. First off, if you want standard members to contact you and view your profile for free, then you will have to pay. You’re probably thinking why would I want freeloaders to view my profile for? The answer to that is to get them to potentially join. If they see what they like then, they are more likely to join the site. That means more potential mates for you to get down and dirty with. The other feature they upsell you on is called “highlight listings”. This allows you to stand out in the search results and emails. In theory it sounds like a good way to stand out. However, if more people decide to subscribe to the feature then that just means you’re no longer special. Your profile will get lost in the sea of highlighted member profiles. Profile Enhancement Tiers: 12 months @ $5.95/month 3 months @ $7.95/month 1 month @ $12.95/month Highlighted Profile Tiers: 1-Month $6.00/month 3-Month $5.95/month

Bottom Line

As a paid member the first thing you get to enjoy is the “GetItOn Guarantee.” What this means is that they promise that you will get laid in 3 months or else they will extend your membership for another 3 months. I am not sure what happens after that. Of course you will have to follow a few simple guidelines. You will have to maintain a premium membership for three months, log in at least once a month, send emails to 5 members every month, add 5 people to your hotlist, flirt with at least 5 members, and broadcast your webcams at least 3 times. Simple enough right? This is what you should already be doing religiously if you want to keep the odds in your favor of getting laid.

Another benefit I enjoyed as a paid member is that you get to compare sexual preference answers with members they match you up with. When there is a member that matches closely to the information you had provided, it gets listed on your dashboard. It may not be a 100% match all the time, but you’ll usually have about 3 or 4 members that will have similar preferences to you. From there you can email, flirt, and hotlist the member if are satisfied with the selection. The work for coming up with an ice breaker has been pretty much done for you. From this point, you can curtail your email to include the similarities between the two of you. In addition, you can also change your answers so that next time you will come up as a 100% match on her dashboard.

In addition to emailing any member as many times, you can send a flirt, hotlist her, and see her naughty pictures. I flirted and hot listed anyone I found attractive. I figured the bigger the net you cast, the more fish you can catch. This made sense at first, but it started getting cumbersome searching through pages and pages of models. Thank goodness for their search filter and advanced search.

You can search for members that are online now, broadcasting now, have premium membership, their hair length, whether they smoke, or even if do drugs. In addition you can search for members that best match you, new matches, cupid matches, members near you, and hottest member photos. Parameters of age range, race, height, etc. can also be searched. I was most interested in those with premium membership, member videos, and members with the hottest photos. I spent most of my time watching live member webcams and chatting with them. They were very naughty and obviously weren’t shy at all. I have to say I blew my load quite a few times, especially on the HD quality ones. My only gripe is that there is not a two way webcam function. I would have loved for her to see me stroke my junk. I guess I could do without it since I don’t have a webcam set up on my computer anyway.

A portion of my time was devoted to writing emails to the girls that viewed me. I made sure I didn’t sound too cheesy when I was trying to be funny and clever. I had received a few winks in return and a couple of emails that suggested I broadcast myself. I think I will do so once I get a webcam and garner the confidence to do so yet. I imagine it’s different when you broadcast yourself compared to having a two way web cam session. Bear in mind that the upload limit is 2GB. There is a lot to like here and I’m in no rush to get laid. There are more than 90,000 videos to watch. New ones are being made all the time. I’m enjoying the chat and live member videos. New members are joining constantly. The perfect sexual match for me is probably around the corner. Even if I get no action in 3 months, I’ll still be able get an additional three months for free. That sounds pretty good to me.
