BearWWW.com review

BearWWW.com is an online dating portal for gay men, particularly for “bears” and their lovers. In gay slang, a bear is usually a large hairy man that exudes masculinity. We found mixed reviews about this platform. Some users seem satisfied whereas others complain about certain flaws in the interface. There were no mentions of a scam though. However, we were a bit on the fence about this website. The name of the operator was difficult to find, and the Terms and Conditions were missing. Usually, this is a terrible sign of a rip-off, but we still gave it a chance.

The name of the company responsible for BearWWW.com is CoReXCo SARL, from Paris. We created an account on this site so that we can experience it first-hand. To our surprise, the profiles were absolutely believable, and we found no evidence of a fake chat service. The prices were also quite reasonable, so we didn’t believe that it was a fraud. However, we wondered what would happen if users encountered an issue since there is no legal disclaimer to refer to.

Even if we don’t believe that BearWWW.com is a gay dating website that was designed to be a scam, we are still not to sure about it. The landing site requires users to accept the terms of giving the operator permission to track their location. That has to be done even before users are given a chance to have a look at the platform. There’s no way of avoiding this, and ultimately, it implies creating a profile right away. It is a pushy move by CoReXCo SARL, the Parisian company that has created this platform.

Missing T&C

Our initial experience of the members’ area was quite positive. We examined quite a few profiles in-depth, and they all seemed authentic. However, our reviews require that we go through the Terms and Conditions in case some suspicious paragraph comes up. As far as we could tell, there were no legal disclaimers. The link in the configuration section seemed to be broken. So, we had nothing to refer to.

This is undoubtedly a bad sign, usually pointing to a rip-off. This is one of the reasons why we are a little sceptical about this portal, even if it mostly seems legit.

Mixed opinions

There weren’t a lot of online comments about this platform. The few comments that we found seemed to be at odds with each other. Some people enjoy the community and reported having had quite a few fun encounters. The atmosphere seems to be less oriented toward immediate sexual contact compared to other websites. Some users appreciate this. On the other hand, most of the complaints dealt with problems activating the profile or asking for better safety features. It is reassuring, though, that nobody seemed to mention a scam or a fake chat service.

Reasonable subscription

Another factor that made us think this portal is legit is the pricing of the service. There were no outrageous fees, which we usually find on unreliable websites. The monthly cost is about seven euros. In contrast, shady operators usually want to get as much money from the victims as possible in the shortest amount of time.

BearWWW.com is a gay dating platform for “bears.” In gay slang, that means big hairy men. Overall, the website seems legit, and the profiles are real. The monthly fee is also quite reasonable. However, the Terms and Conditions are missing, which is very unusual for a reliable provider. We also found some negative reports regarding certain features, but also some positive reviews. All in all, we are on the fence about this service.
