Based only on my personal reviews, I lean more towards "Fet Life" owned by BitLove Limited and currently found at FetLife.com being legit and not a scam. With that said there doesn't appear to be a lot of activity happening at FetLife.com as of 2026, maybe the site has grown when you're reading this post, but at the moment, its membership numbers appear to be very small.

Personal thoughts regarding FetLife.com.

FetLife serves the BDSM, Fetish & Kinky Community, and currently I couldn't find any scammy activities going on, do not take this as an endorsement for FetLife.com as things may have changed when you read this, but they appear legit on our end.

Legit ALT dating websites allows you to try their service, now, this doesn't mean you're guaranteed to find someone at ALT.com, but you're not STUCK in some data harvesting scam. Imagine this you join FetLife.com, you leave and then they retain your email address as if they own you? 

As far as alternative dating goes, I'm most familiar with ALT.com, which, obviously, by its prime domain name, means it's been around for a very long time. I've written about my reviews trying it years ago. 

Because the ALT dating crowd is smaller than traditional dating, location plays a huge part in success rates, I assume the larger your city, the more likely you'll find someone in your area, but on that note, I don't present ALT.com as the best thing since sliced bread, what makes ALT.com worth considering is that they're legitimate, and have been around for years, and they're an American owned dating entity. 

So one of the reasons I don't write about the ALT dating websites is because if you're reading this post, the truth of the matter is that you're very unique, and this is more of an underground alternative dating community, so in general, and I'm just being honest here joining ALT.com may equate to having some patience, but they remain the best I've reviewed in this space to date.

Final thoughts regarding FetLife.com

Based on my reviews, FetLife is legit and not a scam. With that said join them at your own risk, do not take this as a recommendation or endorsement of FetLife, because they could change their business practices after we write this post and we can't control that. Any questions you have for FetLife should be sent to their staff directly, currently they make it easy to contact them.

I will NOT be recommending FetLife.com at this time; with that said, if you want to join them, don't let me stop you; I write these posts for informational reasons only. Any questions or concerns you have for FetLife should be sent to the FetLife.com staff.
