Passion.com: Just Softcore Fluff or Sex Site in Disguise?
Passion.com Review
Summary: Passion.com comes across as a "softcore" kind of adult dating site. We found it filled with people in denial about their sexual wants and needs - cougars and career girls flock to this site!

Overall Score
In my opinion, Passion.com is for people in denial. Why? Because, this is very much a sex site in disguise. To put it bluntly, Passion.com is the “tamed- down” side of AFF (that’s right, AdultFriendfinder).
Beneath the soft core fluff about meeting a passionate soul mate on the homepage, you’ll find the same horny f**ckers looking to get into each other’s pants at any opportunity.
So Why Even Use Passion?
Why not just go to that king of sex sites, AFF, and be done with it? Well not wanting to be put off, Amy Martinez, Jay, Brad and Julia (that’s me) at the adultmatefind office decided to give Passion.com our “all in one” review and see what came up. Read on to see how we did.
The PG-style homepage is there to make people feel as though they’re there to make a connection. Rather than satisfying their lustful fantasies – which is more often the case.
Firstly I don’t want you to be under any illusion; Passion.com is every bit as much a hookup site as AFF. The PG-style homepage, and romantic connotations, I think are there just to make people feel as though they’re there to make a connection. Rather than satisfying their lustful fantasies about banging some hot little housewife.
As if there really is some sort of chance that you could find your next wife here, or hubby for that matter! Forget that bullshit, you might find a f*ck buddy, swinging mate, or some local tart to cheat with – but don’t be under any illusion that this is a dating site.
Passion.com Users Come in Four “Flavors”
[highlight bg=”#ffba00″ color=”#000000″]“Just experimenting” •[/highlight] First there’s the “just experimenting” type. These users are most often young professionals in their twenties or early thirties. Very often, they’re female and already in relationships. They are basically looking for some steamy action behind their spouse’s back. Most often they go after no strings hookups with guys. They rarely want anything too heavy or too kinky (see here if you’re into that).
[highlight bg=”#ffba00″ color=”#000000″]“Experienced cougars” •[/highlight] Next there’s the experienced cougar. These are attractive, confident women of thirty years of age upwards. Sometimes they’re married (the classic, dirty housewife), but most often they’re divorced. Cougars are experienced players and are looking to “eat alive” any young, virulent males they can get their claws into.
[highlight bg=”#ffba00″ color=”#000000″]“My wife doesn’t understand me” •[/highlight] These are men in their twenties and upwards. Most often they have a frigid, career driven wife, who reluctantly gives them poor sex once per month.
[highlight bg=”#ffba00″ color=”#000000″]“Horny and up for anything” •[/highlight] Lastly, everyone’s favorite. The “horny and up for anything” group are typically young males, twenty something, slightly desperate and will hookup with anyone who’ll have them – singles, couples, even other guys.
So What’s The Best Play on Passion.com?
For women
First establish your group. Decide where you best fit-in so to speak? That will decide how you play and how successful you’ll be. You need to create your profile especially for the group you’re in.
[quote style=”1″]Girls: There are definitely enough people on Passion.com that you can be fairly selective. I would say within 1 week I had a choice of around ten fit guys.[/quote]
As for me, I decided on “just experimenting”, as that kind of fits me best. I basically just told everyone I was there to try things out slowly and didn’t want to get in too deep or too involved. I put up some sexy lingerie shots of me lying on bed. Bam! That was enough to do the trick. Inbox full.
Tell it like it is: Girls: It’s important for you to say what sort of arrangement you’re looking for. Ultimately some people on Passion.com want to meet strictly as a threesome, while for other it’s the opposite – they only want one-on-one action. The more specific you get on your profile, the more likely you are to find what you want.
Be selective: There are definitely enough people on Passion.com that you can be fairly selective. I would say within 1 week I had a choice of around ten fit guys. It really isn’t difficult for girls – you can have your pick here.
Pay or go free? You also need to decide if you’re going to pay for the ride or go freebie. While it’s doable for women to go free on Passion.com and just wait for paid-up dudes to contact you, my advice is to join-up on the basic level. The reason is, as a female you can be waiting a long while for quality men to turn-up and find you. Remember, free profiles show up at the bottom – after everyone else in searches!
If you’re paid, you can be much more active and go on the hunt yourself rather than sitting back and hoping for the best.
Best play for guys
The two fellas put up their basic profiles, each going after one particular type of woman.
[quote style=”1″]We found cougars are especially turned on by those Chippendale style, bare chest shots. Think of a black-and-white photo of a ripped guy holding tire or giant wrench.[/quote]
Jay, cougar hunter: Remember cougars desire one thing; fresh young male meat. If you’re looking for cougars, set your profile to single. Most cougars are looking for a guy who’s going to be there when she wants. Cougars are seldom into married dudes who’ll probably be running back to their wives after an hour or three.
Stamina: Bragging about how often you work-out at the gym goes down well with cougars. Remember, cougars are after guys with stamina. Say how many bench-presses you can do, or marathons you can run. The last thing she wants is a guy who reminds her of her flabby 50 something ex-hubby.
Be creative with your job title: It’s also a good idea to be creative when it comes to describing your employment. Cougars are attracted to manly and outdoor types. Firemen and construction workers are a whole lot more attractive to these mature women than suits are. Remember, cougars are not impressed by how much you earn. All they want to know is that you can “keep it up” all night.
Photos: We found cougars are especially turned on by those Chippendale style, bare chest shots. Think of a black-and-white photo of a ripped guy holding tire or giant wrench. If necessary, learn to photo-shop your images to enhance how you look. Hey, there’s no excuse these days.
Most cougars will be well aware you don’t really have chiseled abs and a ripped body, but by the time you meet – who cares?
Brad: Brad was tasked to bag some of those flirty, young career girls. What he found is that it’s best to tone things down a notch or two here. You don’t want to come on too strong else you’ll scare this type of girl away.
The key to getting laid with this type is being quietly confident. Remember, a lot of these are career girls by day, so they’re self assured and know what they want.
Getting down to basics: Brad discovered that unlike the cougar, this type is more interested in you as a person, rather than whether you have the stamina (and tool pack) of a race horse. So it’s a good idea to fill-in a lot of detail about yourself. Also be sure to add some good images and even a video if you can – it builds trust.
The key to getting laid with this type is being quietly confident. Remember, a lot of these are career girls by day, so they’re self assured and know what they want. Don’t assume these hotties only go after single guys. Just like on HornyMatches, we found loads of these young babes are up for fun and games with married men too – they don’t have too many scruples.
So Is It Worth It?
At the end of the day, we found Passion.com to be every bit as viable a sex site as AdultFriendfinder, and HornyMatches. Just be aware that many people on Passion.com are in denial about their real desires.
