I dared to use this slightly joking title because AdopteUnMec did not have this perspective at all when its designers had the idea of putting this fairly conceptual dating site online. After a monumental uproar through advertising which saw our televisions crumble under its rather inflated marketing campaign, AdopteUnMec stands out today as one of the most attractive dating sites on the web. Created at the end of 2007, the site boasted of having 250,000 members the following year.
A strong concept, the reversal of roles
While the usual dating sites give pride of place to the classic concept of a man looking for a woman, AdopteUnMec has focused on offbeat humor by reviewing the usual formulas.
The strategy of charm and putting in the basket
The man on the site becomes a “product” and this will be submitted to the “customers” and will try to attract their attention by sending them “charms”. It is then that the ladies have the choice to respond to the charm or not. If the answer is positive, the man will then have the right to speak to them. Subsequently, women will be able to “adopt” a guy by putting him in their basket… Well… in their shopping cart, but you understand.
Registration on AdopteUnMec
Nothing too complicated, after having completed a short registration form, you will only have to fill out a personal information sheet and the caddie of the gentlemen who will attract you the most will be available.
Is AdopteUnMec.fr free?
Registration for women is completely free. If you are a man on the other hand, back to reality, you may wiggle in all directions, show off your muscles or your humorous ability to take fun photos of yourself, you will have to pay €29.90 for a priority account. Being adopted does not mean being taken care of, although… everything will depend on the goodwill of the young lady who will have set her sights on you subsequently.
The main advantages of the site
The site is considered one of the prettiest dating websites. Its interface and navigation are very pleasant and ergonomic. The totally feminine atmosphere lays the foundations, the man is not the king here, everything has been thought of for the comfort of those registered. The charms to send as well as the basket are real assets and allow a fairly entertaining side. To go further in the humor which can sometimes shock more than one person, AdopteUnMec is not stingy with, for example, its top 100 guys to adopt with a slogan indicating the “vintage” of the current year.
A strong community
On the site, you can read that there are more than 10 million registered users, probably since its creation because since then, some have found thesoulmate without a doubt. And then as an AdopteUnMec article found on the site says:
It’s still nicer to meet a man/woman on the internet than drunk in the back of a bar or at mass while taking the Ostia!
It gives you a rather offbeat atmosphere.
Girl power or just a facade? What other sites are saying
Many sites reviewing AdopteUnMec indicate that if you want to find love it is not on this site that you will find it. That this can scare away more than one good man, frightened by the feminist spirit of the site and the commodification of virility, which is understandable.
But beware of appearances
In my close circle, two cousins of mine met their partners on AdopteUnMec, one has been living a beautiful story for several years and has lots of projects in progress and the other has just become a dad, which shows that girl power is also used to make people happy.
On AdopteUnMec we forget our shyness for a while
The two stories of my loved ones made me think when meeting the two chosen ones that the AdopteUnMec site does not only serve the designs of revengeful girls on life where sort of amazons disappointed in love could take revenge on their next victim in sadistic mode… Although… you are not safe if you are a man…
More seriously, the site also serves to relieve certain young ladies who would like to choose their romantic destiny. As the choice is theirs, they will then be more decided when they cross the virtual threshold for a serious story. A good way to say stop to classic dating sites and really move forward in concrete terms. Please note, I am not generalizing, but having 2 people close to me who have found love on this site, forces me to soften the provocative side that one can think of when this site comes to mind.
AdopteUnMec, a site for playing mother?
And then to return to the title of the site, “adopt a guy” read differently, also means: protect him, mother him. So ladies be careful, think carefully about the subliminal reading that some will have integrated when they registered…
