Shag.co.uk

Is it possible to find a shag online using shag.co.uk? Our casual dating review team had a look to find out…

Popular UK sex meet up site, shag.co.uk, is a sleek website with a crystal clear message. But our hookup reviews team wanted to delve into the platform to see if the members are as sexy as the website is. The domain name couldn’t be any more straightforward, at least – this is not a hub for finding love and romance, this is a dating site for one night stands and getting laid! One thing is for sure, all of the members inside will have no uncertainties about what their fellow online daters are in there for. And that’s half the battle, as any regular internet dater will know, it’s all about managing expectations. Nobody on shag should be there looking for marriage!

As well as being able to sign up super quick and get inside the shag casual dating platform without delay, there’s also a link to an active blog that explores the dating scene in various UK cities, such as the low-down on singles in London, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Belfast, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Is Shag a Good Hookup Site?

Ultimately though, we’re not here for blogs or slick websites. We’re here to find local sex online as quickly and reliably as possible, with minimal cost and nonsense from scammers or non-genuine users. The strict email verification will certainly keep some of the latter away, while not slowing down the joining process very much (be ready to check your email to get inside). Once you arrive, the simple to use interface continues and it’s soon apparent that there’s a fair amount going on here, with lots of seemingly sex-starved females waiting in various UK hotspots.

shag review

You can do a few things on shag.co.uk without upgrading, for example liking profiles and saving the singles you like most in your favourites list. When you do want to do something that requires an upgrade (we’d suggest making sure that you have local members in your area before doing so and then taking the time to fill out your dating profile with an image, etc) there is a credit system. This is actually quite common on hookup and sex search sites, with the usual secure payment methods offered. It means you can ‘pay as you go’ and provides access to the filthy web cams and direct member messaging systems where the real action happens.

Is Shag.com any good? Our conclusion…

Our dating reviews team tend to find that a lot of popular online hookup sites are globally focused, but shag tends to work best for UK singles trying to find sex online. This specialisation is a good thing if you’re in the UK or traveling there for tourism or business and looking for horny birds to play with. The smooth interface on mobile or web browser is a bonus and if you see local members in your area when you join, we’d certainly suggest giving it a whirl to see if it suits your casual dating needs!

is shag.co.uk a good site

9.2 Visit the site

Like any sex dating site, you’ll get out what you put in. So remember to take the time to create a dating profile with an image (gents - not a dick pic!) that shows you in a good light. Send messages that refer to the person’s profile to show them you’re not just copying and pasting. And be patient, as the Guiness ad once said, good things cum to those who wait ;-)

    Very Suspicious....

    Review:

    You would have thought ladies joining a site called, "Shag", would want to do that - assuming the profiles are real!!! Like so many hook-up sites, Shag just uses chat to use up credits. If the ladies are real, they should be on Shag's sister site, Friends with Benefits. At least there I'd expect to chat for longer. Glad I only bought the minimum qty of credite!

    Disappointments, Tricks and Suspicion

    Review:

    Having been on here just over a week , no shortage of people contacting you ,Incredible how many pinging in , all seemingly lovely and like you very much . However a trend soon became apparent .. 1, They seem very keen and think you are the best thing since sliced bread , 2, they will not give you their social messenger access. or accept your phone no. even after a week . 3, They never ask you a question . 4, when I try to meet they seem enthusiastic but never do anything about it . don't suggest a place to meet when asked . 4 , These people are stringing us along as long as possible whilst you get nowhere .are they being paid to do this ? someone needs to investigate. 5 The message window, notice how they add in spaces throughout your text message which you pay dearly for shortening the message space smaller than what you pay for , this will entice you to buy more credits . just Try removing all the unnecessary spaces in your message before sending see how much extra space you recover !Im £200 poorer and no meets . let that be a warning ...

    Review:

    I agree with all of the postings previously. I think this is a scam website. I’ve spent a couple of hundred pounds to meet someone. Fake profiles and waste of time. More fool me. I’ve been on here twice. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! Don’t touch with a barge pole.

    scam?

    Review:

    Only recently joined, and feel as though all about getting you to stay on site and buy credits to chat to, well who really knows, could be pictures of ladies from anywhere off the internet. Do know for a site supposedly set up for people to meet, very costly messaging service, with no end result. May well be more to site than meets the eye, may be mixture of genuine and false? :

    Scam

    Review:

    I did join this site in a way to investigate it due to all the bad reviews and people complaining. so I set up my profile as a fake profile fake name fake location fake date of birth and no profile picture. Within two minutes of entering the members area I received six messages from young girls wanting to meet me strange considering they don’t know what I look like who I am what sort of girl wants to meet men when they’re completely blind and have no control over anything. That was my first suspicion. Secondly I received the messages I clicked on their profile all these girls were images of them or supposably them. They are naked in those photographs posing seductively this is obvious to draw you in because you need to buy credit to respond to them they will not allow you to talk to them in any of a media format they will keep you in Chat spending your credit. If you are gullible enough to fall for it you will carry on doing this for an awful long time. If you propose a meeting with anyone of these girls they will always make an excuse why they can’t do that they will tell you I do not have social media like who doesn’t have social media these days but these hundreds of girls on shag.co.uk do not have social media other than their profile on the website very unlikely. you do not need to do any more investigating or ask any more questions this is obviously a complete another scam designed to take money off people looking for relationship friendship or just sex. They are praying on peoples feelings think about the sort of people you may use these websites they may be lonely lacking confidence in need of human interaction not fake profiles with pictures stolen from the Internet. This is a serious crime and this website should be taken down I urge anyone who has had spend their hard earned money on this site simply to be ripped off to report it you can report things anonymously. There is nothing to be embarrassed about though this does not make you a sucker it does not make you a bad person for wanting to meet people we are all human at the end of the day and everyone needs human interaction this site is taking advantage of those people and that is wrong.

    Total rip off

    Review:

    Please stay away from this site it is obvious that you are just a customer in a very long line and they show it by asking you things they have already asked and been answered or you have told them and forget exchanging sexual text they are more interested in asking you mundane questions than inter act with you and don’t bother asking to them to come of the site you will get all types of excuses as to why they want to stay on the site if they were paying what you are paying they’d come off soon enough and they would not be using only a few of the 500 characters you are allowed (5-6 lines) unless you are a millionaire stay away you can get through £100 no both in a day ( short one at that ) someone is making millions out of this site just make sure you don’t add your million or millions to their stash please please stay away

    Review:

    After a long chat we finally hooked up and shagged, my only complaint is that her photos were outdated, however her ass made up for it, she was friendly and likes to drink which helped.

    Review:

    Like alot of these sites it's full of fake profiles of very beautiful ladies but you're never going to meet any of them. You can usually tell if they're fake if you suggesting chatting for free on Kik, but the usual response is they only access this site and they would prefer to chat on there.... complete and utter scam, stay well clear.

    Scam, scam, scam.

    Review:

    I have joined this site. The "Premium" package, is an icon on your picture, 5 emoji's a day, and supposedly a top of the chart billing. I think it's just so the Chat Babe's and chat bots can spot a mark quicker. If you spent Rockefeller's entire fortune, on buying credits to chat, (Which incidentally, diminish at varying rates 10 - 30 credits a post) You will not get to see one other member in the flesh. When I first signed up there was a message in my in box from a "member" saying she saw my profile and thought we would be a good match. I had just arrived and had yet to fill in any of my profile. There are I.D.'s that are listed as being from every region in the UK. The "I'm in the same town as you, let's chat then meet" come on. Look at the I.D. They are in NI, you are in Kent.Profile pictures of porn stars, I had a good chat with Mary Millington. Look her up, if you don't recognize the name. I,D.'s with pictures, I had seen on other "chat" sites, ("Flirty neighbors", "Chattylocals", etc), but at least these sites tell you the profiles are fictitious, and mark them so. Which is every single one. I had one of the handlers talking for twelve hours straight, (poker win) half way through I was handed off to another handler. This was apparent by the change in sintax & lexicon they used. And the fact she didn't know about the geographic area she was supposed to be in. It is beyond my comprehension how "dating reviews" gave it such a high score? They must have told "Shag" who the were, and the site must have paid for everone of the reviewers to chat and then meet an escort. It would have been peanuts from on days takings.

    This site is a scam sight. None of the profiles are real. Please do not be coned. You have to purchase credits to talk but will never be given any contact details. The system does not let you leave email contact details it is incypted.
