Right, guys – I’ve been getting a few questions via email lately about the cost of signing up. Many people are accusing me of running a scam due to the site actually costing money once you stay on beyond the trial period. First of all, I’m not actually affiliated with BeNaughty. This is just a review site – that’s it! So don’t think that the money you’re paying is going into my pocket. I’m not employed by the company or anything like that. This is not an official site by any means. I’m just a regular punter that signed up through the website just like anyone else. Now to the big question. Yes, it’s FREE to sign up and get yourself up and running on the site. However, if you like what you see and you want to stay on then you will have to pay. In my point of view, this is perfectly legit. After all, they’re running a business here. Do you really expect a huge dating site like that to be 100% free ad inifinitum? It’s not a charity – sorry to be blunt! All of the other dating sites, such as OkCupid, EHarmony, etc, all run through payment systems. So BeNaughty isn’t any different in this regard. I know it may be a little misleading to say you can sign up for free (as seen on the sales page), but technically this is correct. Loads of businesses do this, so you shouldn’t be surprised by the caveat. I’m actually supportive of the site as you can at least check it out without paying a dime – at least, that was the case when I signed...

Some people have been emailing me with questions on the company that actually runs BeNaughty. Who are they exactly? Is BeNaughty legit? In short, yes. BeNaughty is run by a 100% legit company called Cupid based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s actually the fifth largest online dating company in the world. I completely understand why some people are a little iffy about it. You get the gorgeous girl on the front page of the website, offering you something that maybe seems a little bit on the ‘too good to be true’ side. Considering the scams, false claims, and complete rip-offs I always suggest you do your due diligence before making any sort of payment (or even giving your details). More About Cupid plc The company has been in business since 2005 and they have a solid track record. BeNaughty is actually just one of the many platforms they run. Ever heard of flirt.com? Yep, Cupid run this huge dating site. SpeedDater and Cupid.com are two of their other big brands. In terms of users across all sites, they have a staggering 54 million. That’s quite a lot of single ladies to choose from. Let’s just say that you won’t struggle to find someone that matches exactly what you’re looking for. There’s something there for most (if not all) people. News articles You don’t have to take our word for it, either. Here are some excellent news articles that validate the fact that we’re talking about the real deal here.

Face it, looks matter. Your wardrobe choices matter, especially on that first date. So ditch the Abercrombie & Fitch tees and make the transition to a modern, hip, and mature man that cares about the way he looks. These essential wardrobe items are affordable, timeless classics, and are sure to impress. No excuses not to look at least half-decent on your next date! Oxford Shirt This thing is never going to go out of style. Get yourself several colors from stores like J Crew or even somewhere like Gap. It doesn’t really matter. Just make sure it fits properly. No more baggy clothes. You’re not 17 anymore. The thing we really like about Oxford shirts is that they are so versatile. You can wear them untucked, with a sweater, on their own, with shorts, jeans, slacks, you name it. Whatever you decide to wear alongside, you’ll always look the part with an Oxford shirt. Decent shirts will cost you no more than $75, so they’re quite affordable. If you’re really struggling for money, you can get them for even less. Shop around. The main thing to keep in mind is fit. That’s more important than anything else. Brogues If you really want to be part of what’s trendy today, get yourself a pair of brogues. They have made a massive comeback in recent years and you’ll no doubt be part of the ‘cool crowd’ if you’re spotted wearing a pair of these. Brogues can be worn in different contexts, whether it’s at the office or on a night out. Get yourself a decent leather pair that will last. Peacoat The navy peacoat is another classic...

Unfortunately, the fact is that the net is full of scammers. The dating world is a particularly tempting place for these people, as it’s full of guys ready to whip out their credit cards at the slightest hint of interest from the finer sex. Plenty of dating sites get negative reviews due to the abundance of fake profiles. BeNaughty.com has this problem as well, though it’s not nearly as prevalent as with other sites (which is one reason we like the site). Nevertheless, it’s impossible for site admins to catch every single fake profile. That’s why you’re going to have to savvy to the ins and outs of how these scammers work. Follow these 5 tips and you’ll guarantee that you’ll deal with real girls only. Profile Photos You can usually spot 9 out of the 10 fake profiles simply by looking at the profile pictures. Most of the time, they will look too ‘perfect’. Girls will look like they’re posing for a fashion magazine or something. What really gets me is how often guys fall for these tricks. Come on, wake up! It just doesn’t look like someone’s natural profile. You should be able to spot these from a mile away. Heck, some of the BeNaughty ads you see try and entice you with a model’s photo. It’s called marketing. Just stick to the profiles where the girls look like real people, not a Victoria Secrets Model. Sure, there are plenty of hot, beautiful and interesting girls on dating sites everywhere, but they don’t usually put up glamour shots as their profile pictures. Read the Profiles I know, it’s tempting to bases...

Just been dumped? We’ve all been there. If it was love, you probably feel like you’re never going to find someone else. You can’t imagine what life was like before the pain. Before that hollow feeling. Well, time to get over it. It’s not going to be easy but if you don’t start making positive steps towards getting over your ex, it’s never going to happen. We’ve put together these 5 tips to get you over that initial bump. Release Your Emotions As guys, it’s easy to just bottle everything up and pretend nothing ever happened. Enjoy the brewskis at your local bar, without ever mentioning the pain you’re actually feeling. Forget the fake smiles and trying to be an alpha male. It’s not going to help. It’s not a bad thing to tell your closest friends how you feel. I’m not saying you should cry from the rooftops, but don’t keep it all inside either. You need to heal and talking about your emotions is one of the best ways to do that. Your friends will understand, especially if they’ve gone through a painful breakup. Remember, these are the times that true friends will make themselves known. Rely on your friends and be honest. Do NOT Get in Touch It’s tempting, isn’t it? You see her name on your phone and you just can’t help it. One phone call isn’t the end of the world. But it is the start of a whole new chapter of pain and humiliation. The best thing to do is to ignore her completely. She knows where you are. If she wants to talk...

For us guys, dates are almost like job interviews. You need to make a good impression, answer the questions and be engaging and interesting. We’re also going to be judged on our looks, our clothes and our success. Putting it this way, getting a job sounds much easier. Sometimes we are so nervous, so eager to make a good impression, that we fall flat on our faces and end up with a myriad of awkward silences. It doesn’t have to be like this. Here are just a couple of tips that can help you get a second date. Prepare Your Anecdotes Yes, preparation is key. If you’re going to treat your date like a job interview, then you may as well come prepared. Think about an engaging story you told at your most recent dinner party. You have one, right? If not, create one. Try it out the next time you meet with a friend and see what the reaction is like. The anecdotes that work particularly well are funny, a result of an amalgamation of coincidences or just ridiculously interesting. Stay away from dangerous topics such as religion or politics. Forget Small Talk! Sure, small talk is great for the first 5 minutes but what you really want to do is stand out from the crowd. Talk about your ideas. Invite her into your world. Girls love it when they think they’ve met an engaging or intelligent man, someone that knows his stuff about interesting topics. Don’t talk about how you’re obsessed with the Oakland Raiders, naming every Quarterback that’s played since the 70s. It’s good knowledge, to...
