The Full Story:
One of the first things that I try to assess when I’m reviewing an adult dating website is how “authentic” the site’s membership base is. Sure, it’s fun to look at naked pictures of hot models, but you know most of those profiles are spam, shill accounts, or bots dressed up to artificially inflate the site’s social proof statistics. And looking at porn online is fine, but you’re there because you want to hook up, right?
Well, when it came time to review to Online Booty Call, I was pleasantly surprised. The member’s homepage gets right to the point of the site – finding booty calls. Everything’s laid out clearly for you when you log in: booty requests, messaging system, online booty calls, and, of course, the pièce de résistance – random booty. There’s also a search option to the right, which lets you determine a prospective booty call’s proximity to you.
One thing I noticed immediately was that the random booty calls are not so random. Results are always confined to within your stated area. A small thing, but I appreciated it. I mean, imagine seeing an oh-so-hot random booty, only to find out that she’s in the opposite coast. That would suck, right?
One thing I didn’t like, though, were the sparse profile pages. Sure, there are a couple of photos, and maybe an uploaded music clip. There’s basic info on height, weight, age, orientation, and the like, but the About Me is almost always empty. This is supposed to be the profile’s “calling card,” no? And a way for members to filter according to their preferences; but when you look at a lot of them, they’re empty. I won’t put all the blame on the members. I mean there’s here’s hardly anything in my profile, either–I signed up for an account, and when it didn’t FORCE me to fill anything in, I didn’t.
I think it probably relates to the site being relatively new, so they’re trying to lower the barrier for entry to new members. I disagree with the policy in terms of the effect on the user experience, though–there should be more required questions or fields, such as about what a person likes or dislikes, what’s he or she is looking for, etc. This way, when I browse through my booty call prospects, I can filter them based on more information, instead of just deciding on one’s booty worthiness via a (let’s-face-it-usually-deceptive) photo or two. Why waste time on someone you can’t even get any mileage out of, right?
The Rate Booty section is something that really amused me. Sometimes, I’d log in not even looking for a hot date. I just want to rate people.
The design and layout of Online Booty Call is really pleasing to the eyes. I like that it’s clean. No gaudy banners, no awful animation. Navigation is easy and everything’s organized neatly. It is hard to get lost here. There was one thing I found counter intuitive, though: my booty invites. I sent a couple of booty invites to people I found in my searches. And for the life of me I can’t seem to find those invites anywhere. They’re not in the Booty Requests page under “Sent”. They are nowhere to be found. Now, I suppose that I’d have to wait till they accept my booty invite before I see them in my Booty Call page. But I think there should be a way to “follow up” or something. Plus, what if I want to see whom I’ve sent invites to so I won’t accidentally do it again?
Overall however, I liked Online Booty Call. It’s user friendly, genuine, and I think I’ll be able to find a decent playdate or two in there. Profile content may be lacking for now, but perhaps once the membership is large enough there’ll be more; especially if the service really takes off. For now, it is obvious that the site owners are keen on just populating their member database. (There’s even a sweepstakes going on right now–the number one member referrer wins!)

They must have overlooked the profile area. You reviewed it very well. I couldn’t agree more.
Lots of dating-hooking sites now. Have to admit, I’m such a fan of these sites.
Design-wise, I couldn’t agree more. It’s clean, simple and eye catchy.
online booty, hah, I heard onlinebootycall.com was a big scam website, but I tried it and I was surprised–it isn’t. they spend a lot advertising on TV, and I heard that they have fake profiles though I never saw any when i was on there. i’m happy with my experience there. met a few girls. they weren’t all that hot but boy were they willing haha
nice to see you had some luck on there tehcor, mostly the feedback I get from users of the site is pretty positive. I don’t really understand why some people think onlinebootycall.com is a scam…
This site is junk, I have been contacted by atleast 15 girls and everyone of them being a cam girl. I think the site is a scam, it seems to be only populated with these cam girls which direct you to there site to pay to watch them.
There might be some cam girls on there trying to scam you, but I’m sure if you report them the admins will delete the profiles and cancel their memberships. They’re pretty good like that. Check out our article on spotting online dating scams for some tips about what to look for.
I completely agree with AndrewS. the site is chock full of scam artists. I have yet to meet anyone on there who hasn’t tried to scam me. Even the simpler looking girls, christ, I had a chick today standing next to an Easter Bunny try to scam me.,, I kid you not!
They have a great amount of scammers on OBC such as the african chick that truly live some where in the states and needs a plane ticket and ask for you to money gram it and all but you just got to report each one you run across remember people try to take advantage of people and thats every where on the net.
One thing i wish they would incorporate is a free full tryout or award a random user a gold membership for a day. that would give those an incentive to want to pay. i like the new site as the old one was ass, pun intended.
hay
iam verey hot
iwant sex
I would very much like to meet someone inparticular on this site, I am logging in.
I was about to close my site out. I am not about to run to a bunch of nobodies. The owner tried to leer me to come meet him for sex. I refused. I told him that I was a high class magazine lady. He got angry and closed my account. I have no regrets.
I got laid via OBC 2 times that was before I got a membership. I just got one like a week ago nothing yet but I’ve gotten numbers of real girls. But there are a few scammers on here you can tell them by they will chat with you right away and you don’t even have to say much and they will give you their whole pitch to watch them on some cam. They are pretty damn obvious. And their photos look like professional photo.what i did before was write my phone number on my arm and post that photo a few women tryed to call my number and thats how I hooked up with one the other time I just hit up every gold member within 30 miles becuase you can talk to them and one want to have sex so thats how I did that. theres always away without paying.
I got laid over here quite a few times and had other times where couldve gotten laid and it was nice to know that theres nice ladies outhere that want the same thing… but guys just dont be jerks.
These ladies are not barbies but met quite a few that are cute.
And if you are smart you can distinguish scammers from real girls.
Haha…uh no thanks! I dont need to go online & pay for sex through OBC.com. I respect myself enough to not run around screwing random people around the world & spreading diseases! Besides Im not desperate & can very easily get laid in my own town whenever I want…FOR FREE! Thus sounds more like an obvious form of ‘prostitution’ to me, But female & male! Sick!!
I have been a free member of OBC for several months. I hadn’t joined because my finances have been very tight the last few months. I had never looked at the “Rate Booty” option before today. What a disappointment. I have nothing against African Americans, but the percentage of members who are black and/or obese is extremely high – far above the percentage of the population who are either black or obese. Also, the few really attractive females shown in the “Rate Booty” choices got wierdly low marks where far less attractive females got wierdly high marks. I have been a paying member of several sites over the past couple of years. OBC has the least to offer of any of them. Now, I’m glad I never paid to be a member. I won’t be visiting the site again and will delete my profile.
