Shag.co.uk review
The first thing I’d check on Shag.co.uk is who’s behind a profile. The homepage invites you to find people nearby. Its terms also say the site can use profiles it has created for online chat, and those profiles are unavailable for an in-person meeting.
Read the heart icon in context
The terms say the site marks its fictional profiles with a heart in Favorites. I’d look there before treating a conversation as a possible date. Passion is worth comparing if I’m looking for a dating community with several ways to interact.
Decide what you want from the conversation
Shag describes online entertainment as the service’s purpose. If I wanted to chat for its own sake, that could suit the evening. If I wanted to meet someone, I’d want to know whether the other profile was there for the same reason before spending much time or money on the conversation.
Anabel’s take
I’d read the terms and check how Favorites marks the profile before committing to a paid plan. The point I care about is whether the person I’m talking to can make the same kind of plans I want to make.
