The site is all about casual dating, but if you are looking for adult entertainment, MeetLocals.com delivers on that as well.
Features
MeetLocals.com has several neat features that other adult dating sites do not have such as Member Updates which is similar to a tweet from Twitter or a status update from Facebook. From that feature alone you will be introduced to members from different areas or you can simply adjust the feature to only show your friend’s updates. Another feature is called Who’s Cute?, which is actually a game that you play to win a gold highlight. What you have to do on the game is vote on other member pictures and if you vote 30 times you win the gold highlight for a day. The more times you vote the more days your profile will be gold highlighted. MeetLocals.com offers a Flirt Center in which you will be able to choose certain message flirts that will be sent out to all those that fit your taste. Other features that are available to you are video chatting, private messages, favorite lists, photo galleries, advanced searching, save searches, see who’s viewed your profile, personal videos uploads and much more.
Chances of Finding a Date:
With over 500,000 active members on MeetLocals.com there is no way you cannot meet up with someone.

You have to put in some to get some at the end of the day.
Safety
MeetLocals.com has a Verify Your Photos feature which the member has to contact the customer service team and prove that they are who they claim to be. With any site there will be people uploading false photos and claiming to be someone that they are not. MeetLocals.com is trying to eliminate this by adding the verification feature to allow their members to be more at ease in knowing they are contacting a real person. There several security features available to the members such as adult/safety filter and block/ignore members.
Value For Money

The Gold membership costs $34.95 monthly or $119.90 for a year, which runs at $9.99 monthly.
