OneNightFriend Overview

What's OneNightFriend? Though the name of the site suggests that it's designed only for casual encounters, one-night stands, and no strings attached, it's actually more than just that. Just like Ashley Madison, it has transformed into a platform where all categories of singles looking for every type of relationship besides vanilla dating meet. But does it mean it's worth using? Is it better or worse, cheaper or more expensive than other dating sites in this segment of the market? You'll find all the answers in this OneNightFriend review. 

The audience of the site

Let's start with the user base. Currently, this online dating site has over 4 million monthly visits, which is more than just impressive. Also, we must admit that the site active audience is pretty young—over 24% of its members are aged 25-34. The second largest age group (19%) is the people aged 18-24, while the third largest group (17%) is users aged 35-44.

Most OneNightFriend members are from the United States, but the dating site is also popular in Japan, Italy, Brazil, and Canada. There are no location restrictions for members from other countries—it's a global website available worldwide.

As for the male-to-female ratio, it's now 75 to 25%. The gap may seem large, but unfortunately, on online dating platforms like OneNightFriend, men often face pretty fierce competition, and many other platforms in this niche may have up to 80% male users.

The first impression

OneNightFriend looks neither better nor worse than most other online dating sites. It's not incredibly innovative and doesn't have a polished ultra-modern design, but it looks well enough and, most importantly, is user-friendly and functional.

Everything is intuitive—even if you've never been using a dating Internet site ever before, you'll hardly experience any difficulty. The registration process is fast and simple (we'll talk about it in more detail below), and after a new user completes it, they are redirected to the search page with profiles, can see the number of photos that a member has, and contact someone, so you can start dating online right away. 

Registration

Registration on One Night Friend won't take much time or effort. A new user only needs to provide the following information:

• Gender

• Age

• Location

• Email

Also, you'll need to agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Terms, which is a standard procedure on this, as well as on the other sites, and upload a photo (which can be skipped). Of course, this information isn't enough to get a good, detailed profile and attract potential matches, so a user can manually add more information to become popular among OneNightFriend members.

Filter and search

There's a basic search and an advanced search on One Night Friend, and both are available for free. The filters are as follows:

• Basic – gender, age, and location
• Advanced – orientation, ethnicity, body type, hair color, eye color, piercings, tattoos

Unlike other sites, OneNightFriend doesn't let free members see all the matches. You'll be able to see all the people who meet your search criteria only after you upgrade your account and buy one of the premium membership plans.

Also, there is an alternative to standard search. You can find matches through Like Gallery, which works pretty much like a standard swiping feature. You can see profiles chosen based on your preferences and like members or skip their profiles. Just like standard search, swiping is completely free. Generally speaking, that’s a standard yet a good set for all Internet dating sites.

Communication

OneNightFriend isn't a site for long-distance dating, and it isn't promoted like a platform for serious relationships, so there are not so many communication features to use. The system is simple and straightforward—a member can use search to find the best matches, like or favorite them (they'll get notifications), or send a private message directly to a user. That's how online dating operates on this particular dating platform, as most members prefer just to chat a bit and then meet in real life. If it’s all you’re looking for, it’s likely to be a great site for you. 

The mobile application

Currently, there is no One Night Friend mobile app. However, there's the mobile version of the online site, which, however, works pretty well. The platform remains user-friendly even on a mobile browser, and all the best features are still available.

What does a free version allow?

If you have a free account, you'll be able to do the following:

• Use a free profile promotion (you can choose to promote your account among OneNightFriend members right after the registration is complete)
• View profiles
• Use basic and advanced search filters and the Like Gallery
• See Similar users suggested by algorithms
• Contact support

Generally speaking, it's enough to learn more about the dating site and community. Also, those who add their photos and confirm their email addresses can send up to five messages daily for free, attach photos, and send free Flirtcasts (works like mass emailing and another profile promotion feature).

Paid services

There are no credits or coins on the OneNightFriend dating site. Here, members pay for premium subscriptions, and the costs are as follows:

• 1 day – $0.99 per day
• 1 week – $0.89 per day
• 1 month – $1.39 per day
• 3 months – $0.69 per day

Those who upgrade their accounts to premium can do the following:

• Send and read unlimited messages
• View full-size photos and access all the information on profiles, including Looking For section
• Get priority support
• See all the matches

Of course, getting a premium account absolutely makes sense if you're going to actually communicate with others a lot on the site—only for premium users, messaging gets unlimited. Other paid features are rather a great bonus. Remember that there are short-term plans just to test the online dating service and then make a conscious decision to leave or stay.

Pros/Cons of paid subscription

Scam and protection

OneNightFriend takes multiple security measures to protect members and ensure a high level of safety and privacy. All data that a member shares can't be sold or shared with third parties; the company uses advanced data encryption software and offers only safe payment methods. There are some fake accounts, but fake profiles are suspended by moderators pretty quickly.

Customer support

Users who want to use the customer support service can choose one of the three ways to reach them:

• By phone – at 0800 102 6544
• By email – at support@onenightfriend.com
• By filling in the form on the site – just click your profile picture and choose Get Support

The time you need to wait for the response depends on the method you choose. Calling the hotline is the fastest of the options available.

Summary

OneNightFriend is quite a versatile platform. It can work as a sugar daddy site, a casual dating site, or a standard website for finding traditional relationships. The administration cares about mental and physical health of the users, provides dating times and is regularly improving the security system. A lot depends on how you are using this particular service, and there are enough features, members, and special features to have a good experience on the platform.
