UpForIt is for consenting adults on the lookout for casual style relationships. The site was launched in 2009, and has attracted a reasonable amout of followers since that time. It has an international reach with members throughout Europe and North America.
Upforit is for men and women looking for sexual exploits, affairs and casual types of relationships. Though from what I could tell most of the community is made up of men - or at least the women are very quiet. This will be a disappointment unless you happen to be looking for a same-sex relationship.
Upforit has a strong following in the US and the United Kingdom, but it also has members throughout Europe, Asia and elsewhere.
Getting In
As with most sites of this kind joining up is fast. But be prepared for hard content right from the get go.
To join, simply complete the registration form on the front page. A valid email address is required to activate membership. Once activated, you can provide additional information about yourself, plus photos, and videos. Fortunately, most of these steps can be skipped and competed at a later time. The downside to this though is lots of profiles are empty and don't display photos.
If you're not up for meeting just yet you can just chat on webcam.
Upforit also has a mobile app that does everything you'd expect in a compact format. You can swipe quickly through people you like or don't like, update your details and so on.
Finding People
The country selector allows you at least to select a home country. From there it's also possible to search by ZIP code or postal code, to refine searches to a local neighborhood.
Standard (free) members can search for people and send ice breakers. Other than that there's not much you can do other than look.
Emailing requires upgrading to a paid membership plan (Gold or Platinum). Upgrading membership also unlocks other services such as mobile access and video chat.
